January got off to an amazing start at the gym as we all came together to scale the notorious Scammonden steps, to help raise money for the Candlelighters Charity, who are looking after one of our families from the gym at the moment. 3 hours non-stop (well some of us stopped now and again for snacks haha) to raise some money and show our support to the Ellis family and the beautiful Frankie. It was a real team effort, and we want to say Thank you to everyone who turned up on the day and has donated, we are so proud of everyone.
Special mention to Noah Nicholls and Ben Spence who completed the most laps, a massive 18!! And not forgetting Alfie Ellis, our youngest participator at 8 years old, and Frankie’s older brother, who did a huge 15 laps, only stopping here and there for a couple of choccies.
The brilliant turnout made us realise that we need to do more of the above, coming together to challenge ourselves and have fun, away from the blood, sweat and tears of the gym….and the smell!
The last Sunday of every month we will be heading to the great outdoors, keep your eyes on social media to find out the dates/destinations. Anyone and everyone is welcome. This month we are heading to Malham Cove, and little Sid will be making a guest appearance!
In boxing news, our fight team had Christmas off to stuff their faces and sit on their bums, but are now back in the gym training hard to get ready for their next bouts. February will be a big month for them as we have 3 boxers entering the junior national championships and our first home boxing show of the year will be taking place on February 25th, click the link below for more info on tickets ect.

The gym has a big push on resilience and discipline this year, focusing on getting our young adults ready for the big wide world. It’s paramount to us at The Training Cave that we offer wraparound care for our members, and hopefully this level of commitment from both sides will provide some big wins this year for our team, both personally and in the ring!!!
That’s it for January, it’s been our busiest start to the year yet and has well and truly got us set up for 2023!
