Please take a second to help your local gyms.

Morning Folks,

Some of you may have seen this article this morning’s Daily Record. It may be Davie that is pictured but make no mistake, this not just about NLG, this issue is affecting 1000s of small indy gyms across Scotland as well bigger commercial gyms. Us wee ones especially, don’t have a board or a council to speak up on our behalf and as a result we are being left behind by the Scottish Government.

Current lockdown measures mean that in theory we can travel to other parts of the world (eg. Italy, Spain) train and in some cases spar with strangers, then return to Scotland sans quarantine but we cannot train in a socially distant manner here in our own country, in our own small community gyms. Here we can track and trace. Here we can boost our own economy. Here we can support our own communities.

During this time we can also attend other indoor industries such as pubs etc, where we can socially distance at a reduced 1m. Whilst, we are happy for other businesses out there to be open, this move in itself does go initial narrative of taking the stress off the NHS. It is well documented that that there is a strong correlation between A&E admissions and one too many drinks.

This industry has supported lockdown and truly backed the government’s decision to slow the country to allow for the slow of COVID. We have closed our doors, lot of us before the official lockdown, we have made extensive changes to our business models and extensive physical changes to our units to ensure we are a safe & compliant space to reopen to.

When we reopen, we know that our services will be greatly reduced (for us personally no grappling/sparring etc) We know that our expenses are going up & our income going down yet we have pushed on to find ways to accommodate the greater public’s health. We have invited the FM to our gyms, we have written to our MPs and MSPs yet we are not being heard.

We have been told to remain closed with no indication as to when we will even be considered to reopen. We have not been offered additional financial support (loans excluded) and whilst we are absolutely grateful for the initial one off grant, that was offered to all qualifying small businesses , it is not elastic. There has still been rent, bills to pay & for the vast majority of this industry, expensive renovation & remodelling works required to allow us to reopen. For many of us, our members are the ones propping us up, it’s not on them. We are at 20 weeks of closure and we have no idea how much longer it will last. We then have an infinite amount of time where we will be operating on reduced services, which has its on set of ramifications.
We NEED clarity.

As a final note, and I can only speak for us here at NLG personally, we are 100% behind the pledge to ease shielding and get kids back to routine. We agree, that is a top priority. We are not asking to ‘skip the queue’. We are asking for support, an explanation behind the theory of pubs and international travel being safer, communication and guidelines.

Please help this industry by sharing our stories, all of our stories, as far and wide as possible. Sign the petitions. Lobby your MPs & MSPs.

Gyms are a sanctuary for many, esp community based gyms. Contrary to popular belief most people do not come to us to learn how to fight, they often come to us because they are fighting something much much bigger in their lives, training is the by product of that coping mechanism.

NewLife Ladies was created to bridge the gap between the choice of 'boxing based fitness classes' and full on 'fight gym classes'. The idea was to give all women, regardless of their background or current lifestyle, the opportunity to learn how to box properly, with the option of more than one class per week and let them decide how far they wanted to take it - purely for fitness, learn to spar or train to compete.

Ana started with us Feb 2017, as a complete novice. Her goal was just to find a new sport she enjoyed, get a little fitter, a little trimmer and find something to help improve her mood. Initially she stuck with 121 sessions, gradually building her confidence before adding in the ladies classes to her schedule. As her confidence grew, she started to attend mixed classes, branching out in to new disciplines such as jiu jitsu.

Fast forward 2 years to Feb 2019 and here we are. Making us incredibly proud with her debut in the boxing ring with an exhibition bout. It was a beautiful technical and dominant three round performance which made my heart sing. She has achieved all of her initial goals, faster, fitter, stronger, much happier and 35kg+ lighter. She now continues in preparation for her first scored bout.

Congratulations Ana, we are all incredibly proud of you and your efforts so far. It's been extremely rewarding and inspiring to witness your journey. Here's to the next!

And thank you to Ana's opponent for taking the bout, one tough lady, who came to fight 🙌🙏

😂😂 brilliant! If the demon summoning dinnae work classes resume tomorrow at 6pm 😈

Marketing dudes email us fairly often to let us know that we should sensationalise our marketing a bit more . Make it all little less 'normal'. But I like normal. Normal folks, with normal lives being their extraordinary selves in their own way.

So on that note, if you fancy learning how to box or kick we are an option. No pressure, anyone can come along. Any age, any shape, any fitness level, any range of normal :) You take it at your own pace, whether that's all guns blazing or a wee meander through the day.

Good news - the water supply has been restored and we are open! See you tonight :)

** IMPORTANT INFO ** Please see below folks and tag your training buddy to help spread the word. We will continue to update you here.

Some new gym kit available if anyone wants one - everything is unisex fit :)

We got some new T shirts and vest tops in stock with our new logo. Varying designs - each style is different. Have a swatch at our newly installed display at reception! Limited stock. £17 each.

Well done to all the new folks on the mats this morning! Hope ye had a ball 😁 See you Monday at 6pm for Ladies Kickboxing.
