An amateur Nottingham boxing club has moved to a “bigger and better” new home at a business park.
Nottingham Boxing and Fitness Centre opened at an industrial unit at Colwick Quays Business Park earlier this month.
The enterprise, previously known as Sneinton Amateur Boxing Club, was based at the Greenway Centre but said the two-mile move would allow it to “expand their outreach, deliver more community programmes”.
A planning application was submitted at the beginning of December and is pending the approval of Gedling Borough Council, but the gym opened for business on December 15, according to its social media.
The club is a non-profit venture “dedicated to improving the lives of young people and adults through boxing, fitness, and structured mentorship”, supporting more than 80 members, according to the application to take over one of the business park’s 13 units.
“The club provides accessible boxing coaching, mentoring, and free academic tutoring for children who are struggling at school,” documents read.

“The club also works closely with local schools and community organisations to support young people at risk of exclusion, anti-social behaviour, or vulnerability.
“The club’s female-only sessions, low-cost community classes, and subsidised places ensure that their services remain inclusive and open to all.”
The boxing gym will be open over the weekend and evenings when most of the other businesses within the complex are unoccupied.
