During the six-week course at ProKick HQ in east Belfast students will work through the fundamentals of fitness, elements of self defence and come up with a diet for those serious about getting in shape.

“It’s time to lose those extra pounds and get fit,” said Murray. “At ProKick we have a long reputation for taking everyone who comes through the doors and finding a regime that is right for them. We've trained world champions and those keen on burning off a few extra pounds.

It’s a fun way to get healthy and its open to absolutely everybody. "Kickboxing isn’t just about getting into a ring – it’s a great way to get in shape and stay in shape.”
