New manager Deith Bridges brings with him a wealth of experience in running an independent health club having previously run a club of a similar size. "The clubs new name - part of the re brand - will be Physique," said Deith, talking about the changes ahead and the new philosophy he and his team of staff will be working to. "The re branding of the club is very simple. A lot of people think we're a boxing gym and although we can still cater for that, the club has improved and enlarged so much over the years that we're now proud to call ourselves a health club." "Our Foxfit ladies only training area is proving very popular and that will continue under the overall umbrella of Physique." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boxfit Health Club was founded in 2008 by Darlington businessmen David and Henry Ward.

Our classes are available in range of fitness levels, so if you're a beginner or at a more advanced level we have a class available in a friendly group setting to keep you motivated. Since its creation Boxfit Health Club has set itself out as a club with friendly helpful staff and trainers, who work hard to provide welcoming environment for its members to relax and enjoy a growing list of fitness classes and an ever expanding collection of resistance machines, free weights and cardio equipment. Knowing how off putting it can be to walk into a gym and have to wait to use every piece of equipment, Boxfit has pledged to place a cap on it's membership numbers to prevent overcrowding and to keep an exclusive core of members to help maintain the friendly, helpful and calm atmosphere that the club currently enjoys.
