About our Pontefract gym Not your
average gym.
Pontefract's only combined boxing and strength academy. Small groups, specialist coaches, one flat price — built by coaches, for real people.
Our Story
Built by
coaches.
For real people.
Ryan and Callum founded Ultimate Shred Academy in 2022 with a simple idea — Pontefract deserved a gym that actually felt like something. Not a faceless chain. Not a floor-only box. A real training environment with real coaching.
We combined Ryan's boxing coaching with Callum's strength and fitness background to create something nobody else in the area offers — coached boxing and structured strength training under one roof, at a price that doesn't exclude anyone.
Three years in, we're still running every session ourselves, still keeping groups small, and still making sure every member feels like they belong here from day one.
“No ego. No judgement. Just people showing up and putting the work in.”
Why Us
What makes us different.
Community First
We built this gym for people who want real results with real support. No big chain nonsense — just a tight community of people who train hard and look after each other.
Coached, Not Supervised
Every class is run by a specialist coach. You're not just booking a room — you're getting someone invested in your progress every session.
Built for Real Life
Shift workers, WFH adults, parents — our timetable fits around your life. Open gym from 8am every day, and coached boxing classes Monday to Thursday evenings.
One Price. Everything.
Flat £35/month covers all adult classes and open gym. Junior boxing is its own £35/month membership. No tiered memberships, no surprises.
The Coaches
Meet your coaches.
Three specialist coaches, every session led by someone who actually knows what they're doing.
Ryan Robinson
Head Coach
Ryan founded Ultimate Shred Academy with Callum in 2022 and leads all boxing coaching — adults, beginners and juniors. He's built the boxing programme from the ground up with a focus on proper technique, discipline, and genuine skill development.
Callum Brown
Head Strength & Fitness Coach
Callum co-founded Ultimate Shred Academy in 2022 and leads all strength and fitness coaching, through personal training and the progressive programmes members follow in the app. Callum also runs PT Launch Lab, a fitness education programme training the next generation of personal trainers across Yorkshire.
Neil
Boxing Coach
Neil co-coaches the adult boxing sessions alongside Ryan. With a strong boxing background, Neil brings calm, measured coaching to every session — focused on building real technique and confidence in a no-ego environment.
The Gym
