Story
The Box is community-focused, member run club offering CrossFit, Fitness and sports at all levels whether competitively or social. Over the past 3 1/2 years we have helped 100's of members by offering over 45 Classes a week instructed by our top quality coaches and access to the facility all day to conduct further training, we also provide help, support and encourage local charities, schools and organisations to get into fitness and the benefits of healthy living.
Our Problem ? Recently we have been informed by the Somerset County Council that we have to vacate the premises as they are not prepared to renew our tenancy agreement, This has come as a huge shock and potentially left our fitness community homeless and unable to continue.
But there is light at the end of the tunnel, even at this short notice we have found a New Home for our club, we are in the process of preparing to move our club to the new facility but this does not come without additional cost.
Our "Box" club is the result of the past 8 years hard work, I have built this club from scratch and my drive is to provide a fitness facility and help improve the lives of as many people as possible, to introduce families and friends and help develop a community of people that have a common interest in health and fitness. Our Club is not just another gym we are a community, as the head coach I care about the well being of everyone of the members and it is my role to ensure they are improving their lives everyday.
Creating a positive and happy environment in which people are happy, coaching them and helping them improve their fitness, these are the simple reasons why i have the passion to do what I do, and though this is a set back, I am positive that our club will continue to improve and help further develop a strong community in which prioritising your life and the necessity to be fit and healthy can help create a better quality of life for the members and their families.
Pete Howe.
