About
Built by a boxer, not a business plan.
Ringside Fitness is a boxing and fitness gym in Brierfield, Nelson, coached by someone who has actually done the sport at a serious level - not a fitness instructor running a boxing-themed circuit.
Coached by boxing coaches. All abilities, 14+.
THE STORY
Ringside Fitness was built around a simple idea: boxing should be coached by people who have actually boxed. Every class here is led by a boxing coach, not a fitness instructor running a boxing-themed circuit - technique first, conditioning second, scaled to whatever level you walk in at.
Before the coaching
The coach
Experienced boxer and coach. DBS checked.
Boxing has been part of Uwais's life since he was eight years old. He went on to have more than 50 amateur fights and was ranked No.1 in England, earning the honour of representing his country. That experience was built at Collyhurst and Moston Boxing Club, sparring and training alongside professional fighters including Amir Khan, Errol Spence Jr, Callum Smith and Liam Smith - that level of experience is what's built into every session at Ringside Fitness.
"My aim is to use my experience in boxing, coaching and mentoring to help others build confidence, discipline and resilience, both inside and outside the gym." Uwais Majeed
BEYOND THE RING
Uwais has more than ten years of coaching experience, working with complete beginners, young people and professional fighters alike. Alongside coaching at Ringside Fitness, he has worked with children in schools and mentored teenagers facing behavioural difficulties or challenging circumstances - offering the same structure, discipline and belief in someone's potential that shaped his own career.
Why Ringside
Sessions are led by boxing coaches, not a fitness instructor running a boxing-themed circuit. Your guard, stance and shot selection get corrected.
Anyone can make you tired. We would rather you left able to throw a straight right properly and got fit as a consequence.
Corner trackers turn a session into numbers you can look back on - punch count, speed, power and work rate - so progress is evidence rather than opinion.
Serious about boxing, relaxed about egos. New members get looked after on their first night rather than left in a corner.
