Aim
I'm John I'm a boxing coach about to open my own boxing gym in the heart of Deptford. We need your help to make this dream become a reality!
👋 My name is John, I'm a boxing coach born and raised in Deptford. I'm about to open a boxing gym, where the dreams started at the heart of where I grew up. I have been coaching here in Deptford, New Cross, and south east London for the last 7 years. I have trained hundreds of people in this local area - my partner and I even ran hugely successful virtual boxing classes and outdoor classes held at Deptford Park!
💭 If you have trained with me for a while, you know that opening my own boxing gym has been my ultimate goal. This idea has always been at the back of mind for many years, hoping and dreaming that one day it will happen. However it's always been a dream that was too far out of reach for multiple of reasons and excuses, mainly financial. And so I believed it would never happen.
👨👩👦 But since the birth of my son Nolan last year, my mind and reality have completely shifted! It's all true what they say, until you have your own, you will never understand the love and joy they can bring but no one talks about how much they can inspire us. I'm now determined more than ever to pursue this boxing gym, not only for myself but also for my son's future. This is why I decided to name the gym after him: Nolan's Boxing Gym.
📍The venue and location have been secured, in the heart of Deptford under the iconic railway arches, offering an expansive 170 square meters of space – it is epic! We're just 8 mins walk from Deptford Train Station, 1 min away from Evelyn Community Centre and just behind the BlueCage Basketball Courts. We are due to open our doors in January 2024, so not long to go!
🥊 All that remains is to equip the gym with all the boxing and gym essentials and create a safe and inviting space. This is where we humbly seek your support! With your generous donations and pledges it will enable us to buy :
✅ 16ft boxing ring
✅ Punching bags
✅ Gym flooring
✅ Painting and decorating of the space
✅ And more!
🎯 Our mission is to provide top-tier, authentic boxing, Muay Thai, and fitness classes accessible to everyone. You won't find boxfit classes or boxing-inspired workouts here; only real boxing, taught by seasoned professionals, for real people.
💪 We will offer diverse range of boxing classes, including classes for beginners, advanced, juniors, pad work, and sparring. Alongside this we have Muay Thai classes, the art of the eight limbs, taught by myself and former British champion, Shaq Davies. Additionally, we'll offer fitness and strength and conditioning classes designed to push you to your limits and help you achieve the best shape of your life.
🚀 Our vision is to provide an authentic experience, allowing you to train like an athlete and fighter while teaching you the core principles of boxing and Muay Thai. The gym will offer so much to the local community, people of all ages and backgrounds, everyone is welcome at Nolan's Boxing Gym. We want to champion positive mental health through boxing and fitness, a subject very personal to me and my family. In the past we raised money for mental health charity, Samaritans and we would want to continue our outreach through our gym and services.
🏆 How can you support us? Please take a look at our rewards section to see all the different pledges on offer, essentially these rewards will be purchases in advance for classes and memberships. Donations are also welcome however big or small, we would greatly appreciate all your support.
🙏 To all my past, current, and future clients and members, I am eagerly looking forward to sharing this incredible journey with you. Your generosity means the world to us and is deeply appreciated.
Please feel free to share
Best wishes,
John and all at Nolan's Boxing Gym.
