Greetings, everyone

As we step into March, we're thrilled to share some key updates. First up, get ready for the Belt Grading session at the beginning of the month—a chance to showcase your progress and earn that next belt! Our gym's back wall has undergone a striking transformation with a new EKA graphic sign, giving the gym that ultra clean look.

Fight Club is thriving, and we're exploring the creation of a Fight Team for those eager to take their skills to the next level. Stay tuned for more details!

Facilities: The Elemental Kickboxing Academy Leeds is really pleased to share that our official club logo has found it’s within the studio, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome! Starting in November 2008, with the support for family, friends and members, the club has worked hard to get to where it is, this moment feels like a special one!

A huge shout out to Orange21 for their work in bringing our vision to life. We'd love to hear your thoughts—feel free to drop us a comment below!

The Mighty Hike is a walking marathon around Lake Ullswater which Elemental Fitness client Maricel will be doing on June 15th to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. This is close to Maricel, as her husband was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2018. As we do with all of our members and clients we wish to help by spreading the word – if you can give to the charity please click here.

Macmillan gives people with cancer everything they’ve need. If you’re diagnosed, your worries are Macmillan’s worries. Macmillan’s doing whatever it takes. But without your help, Macmillan can’t support everyone who needs them. If you can’t give, please spread the message on what charities like Macmillan do to help support their cause.

Meet Josh! Josh embarked on his fitness journey with us in August 2023, starting with fortnightly personal training sessions. His dedication has led to great progress. From never having touched weights before, he's transformed his deadlift from 50kg to an impressive 130kg!

With each session, Josh consistently pushes his limits and witnesses’ incredible gains. Not only does he train at our club, but he also dedicates time independently, consistently improving his muscular strength and endurance. These enhancements have beautifully complemented his kickboxing skills.

Josh's commitment and progress are inspiring. Keep up the great work!

Please be sure to keep an eye out for Elliot when you enter the studio over the next few days. He's enthusiastic about assisting the club and our members wherever possible.
