Made in Martlesham
About ten years ago, an Ipswich recruitment consultant walked into Suffolk Punch and asked head coach Rob Hodgins if he could try it out. No amateur fights. No boxing background.
Four white-collar fights later, Fabio Wardley turned pro. He went on to become English, British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion. In 2025, he became WBO heavyweight champion of the world, coached from his very first session by Rob.
“We fell in love with him straight away.”
We can’t promise you a world title. We can promise you’ll be stronger than yesterday.

Real words from real members. No headphones-in, keep-yourself-to-yourself gym culture here.
4 stone
lost through charity boxing
“The charity boxing match… not only helped me get fit in the first place but also built confidence… 18 months of hard training I had hit the 4 stone mark. I don’t think I could ever go back to being how I was, because I didn’t feel a normal gym could motivate me as much as the coaches at GFP and Suffolk Punch.”
“Like many people I have been to the usual type of gym… people would go along, plug themselves into their headphones, and keep themselves to themselves. At GFP the people, coaches, and sense of community spirit is just brilliant. It’s like one big family.”
“Wonderful atmosphere, brilliant coaching and a wide range of ages and abilities all mixing in and supporting each other. I’m proud to be one of the oldest crossfitters in town.”
“I find it a great way to start the day before work, train in my lunch hour or after work… I started boxing because my son wanted to try it.”
“The staff are incredible and truly care about your journey to being the best you… Made some awesome friends, and can feel myself getting stronger and braver.”
“Great gym, great trainers, great people. I enjoy every session of CrossFit.”

Kids’ boxing
Boxing teaches kids far more than boxing: focus, discipline, fitness and the confidence that comes from learning something hard, in a club that works hard to feel welcoming, never intimidating.
5–8 yrs
Six-week courses, with a free taster session to start.
9–11 yrs
Six-week courses, with a free taster session to start.
12–16 yrs
Mon, Wed & Fri at 4:30pm and Sat at 9:30am. £6.50 a class or £37 a month, and included in the free trial.
Charity boxing
Complete beginners. A full training camp. Then you walk out at Trinity Park in front of family, friends and a crowd of around 600, and box for a cause close to your heart.
Our charity boxers train in regular classes plus their own weekly session with extra coach time. Safety comes first: full medicals, matched opponents and 16oz gloves on every bout. Everyone’s got work on Monday.
It started in April 2014, when GFP owner Matt Brennan boxed ten rounds against ten opponents and raised over £10,000. Our Prospect Promotions shows have since put hundreds of boxers in the ring and raised more than £50,000 for charity.
Coaches
Small groups and proper coaching. Our team will learn your name, your goals and, eventually, all your excuses.
Owner & coach
Founded Grange Fitness in 2008 after years of semi-professional football and refereeing. CrossFit Level 1 trainer and sports therapist, formerly first-team sports massage therapist at Ipswich Town FC, and the promoter behind our charity fight nights.
Head coach, Suffolk Punch
Boxed as an amateur for Dale Youth in London, trained his brother, who boxed for England, and qualified as a boxing coach in 2005. His boxers have won more than 30 titles, and he has coached Fabio Wardley since day one.

The gym
Forget everything you think you know about ‘the gym’. This is a proper training space on Betts Avenue, built for coaching, sweating and the odd bit of shouting.
No. Every workout is scaled to your fitness and skill level, so even if you don’t think you’re fit enough to train, you are. Most people start with CrossFit Foundations, Beginner Boxing or Thump Boxing.
Only if you want to. You never have to punch anyone, or get punched. Thump Boxing is pad-based boxing fitness, and sparring is only for boxers who have their coach’s permission.
14 sessions to use in 14 days, including Beginner Boxing, Thump Boxing, Junior Boxing, CrossFit Foundations, Olympic Lifting and Hyrox. Some daytime CrossFit and mixed boxing classes are included too. If you can’t book one, email gym@grangefitness.com.
Drop in for £12 a class or buy a 10-class pass for £105. Memberships start at £70 a month for two sessions a week, or £100 a month for unlimited classes on a 12-month membership (£125 rolling). Open gym starts at £30 a month.
Yes. There’s 10% off memberships for the NHS, police, fire service and Army, and 20% off for students. Ask about our monthly membership offer before you buy.
Kids’ boxing starts at five: Mini Rockets (5–8), Rocky Rockets (9–11) and Junior Boxing (12–16). Adult boxing, CrossFit and our other classes are for ages 16 and up.
Staying active usually helps, and our coaches can adapt your sessions around a knock. Always check with your GP or physio first.
Time to train on your own with all of our equipment, from punchbags to barbells: 6am–9pm on weekdays and 7am–2pm at weekends. If you’re new to training, we recommend at least 10 classes first.
Yes. Beginners over 18 can box a charity bout on our Prospect Promotions shows after a 12-week camp, and experienced boxers can be matched against boxers from other gyms. Juniors can progress to amateur (ABA) boxing.
Yes: one-to-one personal training (bring a friend if you like), private boxing coaching and private Olympic lifting coaching in our dedicated PT area, plus sports massage.
