ABOUT US
We work with young refugees and migrants. pt² FITNESS uses the discipline of boxing to build confidence, resilience, and belonging.
pt² FITNESS was founded on lived experience; we help people to be the best version of themselves, and we build champions for life.
OUR STORY
Our founder, Percy Tussamba, arrived in the UK as an asylum seeker facing profound isolation, until he found his voice community and power in a boxing gym. pt² FITNESS was created to do the same for others. We provide a safe space for young people with similar journeys to break their silence, forge their strength, and find their community
OUR APPROACH
Our approach is built on four core principles:
- Safety: Our sessions are strictly non-contact and led by a coach with lived experience, creating a safe and inclusive space where young people feel seen, supported, and valued.
- Discipline: We utilise the core discipline of boxing to develop the physical confidence and mental resilience necessary to navigate life's challenges.
- Belonging: We are a team. Every session fosters mutual support, creating a community where every member knows they belong.
- Purpose: We are a self-sustaining community. Every paid class taken by our supporters directly funds a free spot for a young refugee in our mission-driven program. This creates a powerful cycle of support, ensuring that when you train with us, you are training for more than yourself.
