Petition to take over St Mary's Leisure Centre by Inner City Boxing Club

Space is definitely needed

It's very difficult to find space to move around in such a busy gym as ICB. A bigger space would be very useful for: Bigger boxing ring Room to cardio excercise Room for boxing bags Room for gym equipment - running machine, multi gym, inversion table, Roman chair and all of the equipment is gathered upstairs or other places which cannot be used because of lack of space

ICB is a very busy gym , very often overcrowded. We need a bigger space in order to be able to train at full potential. The highly skilled coaches are there to deliver but the the lack of space is frustrating when one is training.

Good luck

Good luck to ICB for this campaign!! Hope the council use their head for once!!

I think this would be very beneficial to the club & to the people using it's facilities.

Expansion is worth it provides fitness and own respect

This is probably the best idea that Southampton has had in such a long time!

I fully support this plan, ICB is the best run boxing club I have been too and I have trained all over Hampshire, the coaches and the set up are professional and effective, you can really see the positive effect they have on the local youth and I would be excited to see this develop on a larger scale

This will be good for future boxing

I agree!

I back this 100%, it would be a great community resource

Great idea. A waste of a great site based centrally in St Marys. It'd make excellent use of it.

Great boxing club love what these guys do and it's great for the community!

I believe inner city boxing is a growing facility used by all areas of the community and needs to expand their premises to meet the demands of their business- not only for business purposes but also for the wellbeing of the attendees- with a big focus now on beating childhood obesity- inner city boxing offer sessions dedicated to children to help with this aspect of a ongoing growing concern.

Totul este sa vrei!

Will be good,

Currently the club cannot provide coaching to disable people as the venue in St Mary Street is not disability friendly. A new venue sach as St Matthews Church would enable our coaching team to cater to this segment of the local population.

This boxing club is key to keeping the youth off the streets and giving them an opportunity to take part in something positive. Trainers such as Fred inspire the youth and give them discipline.

This would be great for the community!
