This is about more than staying in shape or losing weight. This is about developing new skills, learning new disciplines and falling in love with the sport of boxing. Community is at the heart of everything we do. We’re here to sweat together, train together and progress as people. Building confidence one punch at a time. Getting knocked down and getting back up again. This is about empowerment - feeling stronger, inside and out. This is about making new friends. You won’t find boxercise or boxing-inspired classes in our gym, just pure boxing, tailored to every ability level. Our mission is to spread a love and respect for our sport to everyone who enters Rathbone boxing club. From first time fighters to professionals, adults, youths and amateurs - everyone is welcome.

⚡ Performance drinks, powered by nature. It shouldn’t take a lightning bolt to feel the power of nature. Thankfully, at MOJU, we’ve bottled a better way. Active, grown, functional ingredients to help you take on any challenge. There’s never been many ingredients to MOJU. In the beginning, it was just two mates. One beaten-up VW Golf. Zero experience. Armed only with simple, homemade cold-pressed juices and a mad ambition to mix up an industry. Why? Well, something was bothering us. In this busy, modern world, we work so hard to be healthy and active. Yet products that say they’ll help you out? They kind of… don’t. Artificial ingredients. Heavy processing. Loads of sugar. It’s not what your body needs. Busy lives deserve better. So, we made it our mission to provide exactly that. We went back to nature, back to millions of years of evolution. To reconnect people with powerful flavours and potent natural ingredients. To do what we can to get you performing better. No miracle cures. Just some of what you need to get you feeling gooooood. It’s never just been about the drinks at MOJU. We’re here to give life our best shot.

Losing your hair is stressful. Research shows that around 80% of all men and 50% of women will experience some sort of hair loss in their lives. We know first-hand how life changing losing your hair can be. So, we created THIX as a trusted and reliable solution to look after the hair you’ve still got, whilst you’ve still got it. Backed by science, not magic. If you are searching for a miracle cure to make you look like you did when you thought losing your hair wouldnt happen to you. We’re sorry - we dont make fake promises. Were here to formulate functional haircare products that will help you look after the hair you have. Dont wait, until its too late. With hair loss, procrastination is the thief of time. Thats why we believe in prevention through a daily haircare routine. You only get one head of hair, so look after it now - while youve still got it.
