After opening its doors in November 2024, Eastside Boxing & Wellness is officially celebrating its grand opening, marking a milestone that reflects the business’s growth and impact within the community.
The gym, located at 311 George Street North, has become a hub for fitness, wellness and community engagement.
They have also partnered with the YWCA Peterborough Haliburton to launch the Fight for the Future Fund, an initiative that helps youth aged 12 to 16 overcome financial barriers to participating in boxing by providing access to a program designed to build confidence, discipline and empowerment.
Event emcee and local life coach Kat McCartie spoke about common misconceptions when it comes to boxing, and how Eastside Boxing & Wellness challenges these thoughts.
Owner and head coach Marsha Gaulton said the decision to delay the grand opening was intentional, allowing the business time to fully develop into the vision she had from the beginning.
Gaulton highlights a number of classes offered through Eastside Boxing & Wellness, including those for beginners to the sport.
