Keddles and Bruce gym Covid relief fund
Donation protected
Once again, we have been forced to close our doors to the public. This is putting a lot of pressure on paying the Gyms costs including monthly rent and other associated fees.
As many of you know Keddles & Bruce gym has only recently opened, and consequently does not qualify for any government relief.
We know that times are tough, but any financial aid our members can spare really does go a long way.
Keddles & Bruce gym is more than just a place to lift weights and to hit boxing bags. It is a community that directly supports people’s livelihood both staff and members alike.
Below are some notable testimonials on how the gym directly effects people’s lives and it is important to remember this when times are this tough. Together we can get through this and many of us will go above and beyond to keep this place open as we all have too much to lose.
"Keeps my sanity and my life on the right path you guys are family” - Paul
"The new gym is amazing. Really helps me to stay strong mentally because it provides access to a world class level of knowledge (both from the trainers and other members) that you will never find in a regular gym" - Edd
"This is not only a gym it is a living breathing beating heart. It pumps blood and fuels the minds of everyone that enters. This gym is a community and a way of life. It is a place to escape if you need to and a place to grow. Healthy living is a strong weapon against any illness and virus" - David "
"Coming to the gym is much more than getting a sweat on. It is a place to deal with your problems. There is no better way to deal with the crap life throws at you than hitting pads or sparring. Landing a shot feels good but get hit with a good shot feels better. Life becomes insignificant and you get to escape for an hour. That break from reality often helps me deal or work out how to deal with my day-to-day life” - Cliff
"It is more than just a gym, its family. it is my life saver and survival tool for my mental and physical health. I cannot function properly without it. I have been through some tough shit, physically as well as mentally and the training/ gym is how i cope with it all Hitting pads, sparring and being with likeminded people is the best therapy; no medication could ever achieve the same result. I feel lost without the Keddles and the training" - Tanya
"For me Keddles has been a place that has helped me keep my sanity for 21 years now. Even after a few years break you can walk back in the door and feel like you are surrounded by friends and family. The physical benefits are obvious but the mental health side of what the gym provides is immeasurable. Far more than just a gym" - Justin
"Gym / training/ fighting is all I know. It is a part of life and I do not know what I would do without it. I think everyone on the fight circuit is a bit nuts and it is our place we go to be normal or crazy together. Gym life is people’s breath of fresh air. it is what keeps you going in life. I am just glad to be a part of it and happy the gym makes me feel very welcome. - Sarah
" Always made me feel welcome. Get to train with likeminded crazy friends I've met over the years, love it! miss the fight life and hope we can all get back to it ASAP!!" - Katie.
"Keddles has helped not only my sanity but being a part of a big family. We have never felt welcome into many places... we have been welcomed not only for ourselves but knowing how much the Keddles lot support and look after my kids just as much as I do does not ever happen. These people are more than just people we train with. Thanks to all of you for all you've done for me and my kids" - Katie
