Every Monday Night at Merlins Boxing and Youth Club  Osmaston Rd. Derby  6.15 - 7pm

 

Quote "  When I was first told about the ladies boxing I thought it would be a type of fitness class,  However, I quickly found it to be a fun and enjoyable way to keep fit, even if I did ache afterwards!” 

 

"There’s a fab group of people and the trained coaches are really nice.  Its quite good to hit something when you are feeling stressed!!  So why not give it a try!! "
