Thank you so much Simon Chapman, from Lloyds Banking Group for your glorious review on LinkedIn: ♥️

"I can’t thank Gwen at Fighting Spirit enough for all the support she has provided the Lloyds Bank Business Hub, and the business community here.

To give it context, the Lloyds Bank Business Hub is a co-working and event space in the Centre of Manchester, where the business community can come to use the space to learn and develop skills that will support them with growing their business. Gwen & Fighting Spirit have delivered a series of workshops to this audience covering topics such as:

- Managing your mental health
- Build your self-esteem, build your business
- Building Resilience

Gwen combines her knowledge and research with her own lived experience, to come up with processes, tips, and insights to support you with your own personal development. Covering sensitive topics Gwen is undoubtedly skilled in creating an environment where you're at ease.

Gwen has also been a guest speaker on discussion panels at Lloyds Bank on the subject of mental health. She was extremely personable and passionate throughout the panel discussion, giving lots of insight in to her journey and how through boxing she has seen the positive impact it has on individual’s mental health.

If you are looking to deliver workshops/seminars/talks for your organisation or for event make sure you contact Gwen for a chat!

I look forward to continuing to collaborate with Gwen & Fighting Spirit in the future."

BIG thanks to all of our prison healthcare staff who are supporting 6000 inmates through the current crisis but continue to be cheerful, hard working and resilient and make GMMH proud! 😍

Because they are doing a bloody good job whilst risking their lives 👏👏👏👏👏👏

It’s so easy to fall in to a sedentary routine right now, constantly snacking and watching netflix. But creating a daily routine involving exercise can be therapeutic and bring a sense of normality back into your life. It will also help you not come out the other side 4 stone heavier 😱

If you're looking for a great way to get in shape that can be low impact on your joints. Give shadow boxing a try. It can be an awesome warm up or a workout in itself: 🥊💪

For starters, check out this 12 min boxing workout video for beginners from Sneak Punch.com

Please do remember to take care of your mental health during this period. Remind yourself that although COVID-19 is a serious illness, it is also temporary and that life will return to normal in time. It is out of your hands, worrying is pointless, worrying will not make it disappear, nor will it help your wellbeing. I know easier said than done right?

I would 100% recommend trying some Mindfulness apps during this time, they are a great habit to get in to. Apps such as Headspace & Calm have been proven to slow your racing mind, even 10 mins a day can help. Also to note, Headspace is currently offering a free pandemic mindfulness series to practice with.
