A boxing gym has slashed its group session prices this month to give everyone the chance to attend.
Round4Round based at the Amir Khan Academy in Bolton, are offering Saturday sessions in February at just £1.
This includes an under 16s beginners class at 12pm, an advanced class at 1pm, along with adults at 2pm and an open gym at 3pm.
Boxing coach Ashif Ashik said the gym wanted to be more accessible for those who want to attend classes but were wary of the costs due to the cost of living crisis.
He said: “Round4Round wants to give something back to the community in the cost of living crisis, so that everybody gets an opportunity to come and train.
“We think sports should be for everyone and that this will break down barriers.
“It’s important to consider the current hardships people might be facing, but even now, they want to train because mentally they feel better for doing it.”
