The boxing club is led by female coaches to ensure a safe, comfortable environment for teenagers and women.

The classes take place every Tuesday at 18:15 - 19:15 and Saturday mornings at 08:30 - 09:30.

The ladies only boxing club was formed by England Boxing coach Tara Clift. Tara is also a kickboxing instructor in Northampton and decided to open a ladies only boxing club to give teenagers and women an opportunity to learn boxing in a safe, female only environment.

The Rough & Ready gym owner Morris Young has been amazing with the support he's given in helping with the opening of the ladies only boxing club.

They are now in the process of training some more female coaches; Caroline White and Adriana Smet as the classes grow in size.

It's a great environment where teenagers and women can enjoy the training sessions and build their confidence whilst having fun.

They have a dedicated Facebook page 'Ladies Boxing Northampton (Rough N Ready)' an Instagram account; ladies.rough.n.ready.boxing. They also have an email address [email protected].

Any ladies wanting to participate can simply turn up on the day. The first lesson is free.

There are opportunities to spar if ladies want to do this, or just have fun training.

We hope to put on more classes in the future.
