Our Story

10 Count Boxing CIO is a Registered Charity

Charity number: 1191711

Ten Count began by accident almost 10 years ago, originally a tiny industrial unit with a few bags and a boxing ring for owners Max Maxwell and Lee Jones to train in.

When people repeatedly popped their heads around the door and asked if they would train them they decided to offer classes, and over time the gym has grown.

We have a full size boxing ring, matted area, punch bags, pads, medicine balls - a fully equipped boxing gym with all the facilities you need.

Physical fitness is important for everyone and regular exercise is also vital for mental health. Boxing is a great way for people to channel their energy into productive activity, learn techniques and improve their overall fitness, whilst socialising and building their confidence for improved wellbeing.

Our objectives are:

The promotion of community participation in healthy recreation, for the benefit of the inhabitants of Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding areas by the provision of facilities for amateur boxing.
To provide or assist in the provision of facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals residing in Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding areas who have the need of such facilities by reason of their age, infirmity or disability, financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life.

We maintain our charitable objectives by being one of the cheapest gyms in Stoke-on-Trent, and maintain a no commitment pricing policy.

We offer a fun and varied schedule of activities for every person aged 4 to 104 no matter your ability.

We have created a gym we are proud of, which makes boxing and exercise accessible for everyone in the community.We seek to engage people in the love of the gym, and to encourage people to understand that good physical health is linked to good mental health.

Boxing is not just hitting a bag but a total body workout, which incorporates learning strategy and technique, building confidence, and socialising.

The gym can also be hired by the hour for clubs, classes or personal training.

The rules here are simple; attitudes stay outside, hard work goes on inside and everyone is equal.
