Success Stories

“I have lost over 2 stone now and really enjoy coming to the Bulldogs. It’s more like a community centre rather than a gym, It’s changed my life. Mal told me that it was FREE for Armed Forces Veterans to use so I joined the Not so Fit Class where I could work at my own pace. It has really helped with my knee, it’s coming on leaps and bounds. Thanks guys”. 

Allan Morgan - Armed Forces Veteran who came to The Bulldogs to Access our Support Services and Boxing and Fitness Pillars.

When I left school I had no direction, didn’t know what to do or where to go for help. I have really enjoyed the Bridges to a Brighter Future course, especially the Anatomy and Physiology side of things which I find really interesting. I am a bit more confident now and much more positive about all things in my life.  The exercises I do here at The Bulldogs, learning how to box and being part of this group has helped with that.  I am even thinking of taking part in a white collar event.  I can now at least see myself working in the future which I couldn’t before”.

“My time at Bulldogs has given me many experiences, from running the assault course, walking up mountains and planning and delivering my first class.

I have gained so much confidence and new knowledge. I have met so many lovely people from the staff to the community. I couldn’t think of a better place to spend my time
