WELCOME TO

NORTHERN POWERHOUSE BOXING ACADEMY

A safe space for anyone who wants to use boxing training for fitness or competition.

We’re the UK’s first female-led boxing club, registered as a not-for-profit, Community Interest Company. We provide girls and women with access to female-only coaching sessions, in a safe, welcoming environment.

Anyone between 10-39 who wants to compete for the club, can do so after passing a boxing medical: girls, boys, women and men! We’re affiliated to the North West Counties ABA and all our coaches are England Boxing trained and registered.

We offer Olympic-style boxing coaching, Boxercise, Strength & Conditioning classes and tailored sessions for under 11’s and over 50’s.

Our work extends into local schools, social services, youth and community groups - our aim is to bring the benefits of boxing to the wider community.

“Northern Powerhouse has enabled me to change my life. I started learning the ropes about 18 months ago, getting stronger, faster and I am now enjoying sparring. The positive change to my mental health has been life changing and the physical health - well that’s a bonus too!”

ROB, 42, HEBDEN BRIDGE

I tried a boxersize class over a year ago - I needed to do something to improve my mood. WOW - what a whirlwind it has been. It doesn’t matter if your a complete unfit newbie or a seasoned athlete you are gonna get a work out that’s suits you. It’s been truly amazing.

RACHEL, 47, HEBDEN BRIDGE

“I’ve just come to the end of some fantastic 1 to 1 sessions with Alex, and I’m a changed woman! The world of fitness is not my natural habitat, so my confidence was definitely lacking when we started out. Alex was super-encouraging at all times, working on my overall fitness as well as boxing technique." LAURA, HALIFAX

"I would recommend NPBA to anyone of any fitness level. There is nothing but love, support and respect here at the club. Newbies are welcomed and encouraged. Regulars are a family who have a laugh and work hard together. The classes are varied and everyone can work at their own level. Come and join us, you won’t regret it.” DEE, TODMORDEN
