The Fighters Factory is exactly what I was looking for when I set out on my quest to fight off the effects 15 years in a desk job in September last year! I checked out the flashy new age fitness centres, filled with lycra clad bods hoping that the scientifically designed regime personally crafted for them by the likes of Chad and Crystal on the scientifically designed machines, in saunas and spray tanning booths would be the magic bullet they had been hoping for, but that just wasn't me. Murray, the staff and members welcomed me with smiles, nods, encouragement, good humour and above all no judgements. Amazingly Murray can name just about every visitor to the gym. This and the 'ethos' of the place make it a fantastic environment to meet your own personal challenges and goals. It's not full of angry, aggressive men looking for ego supplements; members are a diverse range of men, women and kids that give it a community quality. The benefits are as great as you choose to make them. You don't have to hit anyone or be hit. The exercise regime is a very simple and time proven mixture of shadow boxing, skipping, speedball, floor to ceiling ball, bag and a combination of strength training exercises (sit ups, leg raises, push ups etc) timed to 3 minute rounds with 30 second rests in between and a full circuit lasts approximately 1 hour. The whole effect is a complete mental and physical workout. Of course if you're serious about the sport of boxing, Murray is happy to provide assistance. All you need is a good pair of runners, and clothes (shorts, tee shirt, traky dacks etc) that are comfy to exercise in and a pair of wraps (material strips to bind your hands). Gloves can be hired or purchased, wraps and other bits and pieces can also be purchased. I would recommend this establishment to anyone looking to get fit, keep fit or get into boxing.
