Life doesn’t hit softly. Between work, family, responsibilities, and the constant pressure to “hold it all together”, men and boys often end up carrying stress like an invisible weight. But here’s the truth many won’t say out loud: mental health isn’t a luxury — it’s essential.
That’s why at Fight Station Kickboxing, we’re proud to be hosting our Mens Release & Recharge Event — a dedicated space for guys to move, breathe, and release some of that pent-up pressure in a healthy, powerful way.
🚹 The Real Talk: Men’s Mental Health Matters
In the UK, 1 in 8 men experience a common mental health problem such as anxiety, depression or stress.
Around 40% of men won’t talk to anyone about their mental health struggles.
Suicide remains the leading cause of death for men under 50.
These aren’t just numbers. They’re proof that too many men are fighting silent battles every day. And often, the people around them have no idea.
That’s where movement and community step in.
🥊 Fitness as a Powerful Outlet
When it comes to stress, the body keeps score.
Physical training — like our Abs, Bags & Pads sessions at Fight Station — offers a natural way to reset your mind and body:
Releases endorphins (your brain’s feel-good chemicals)
Burns off stress before it builds up
Boosts confidence and resilience
Improves sleep, focus, and mood
Gives men and boys a place to be present — without pressure to “fix everything”
You don’t need to talk it all out to work it out. Sometimes a solid round on the punch bags says everything that words can’t.
🧘♂️ Why Time for Yourself Isn’t Selfish — It’s Smart
Men are often taught to “just get on with it” or “be strong.” But strength isn’t about ignoring your wellbeing. It’s about making space for it. Taking time for yourself isn’t weakness — it’s maintenance. Like sharpening a blade, you need moments to recharge before you burn out.
Our Mens Release & Recharge Event is designed exactly for that:
🗓️ Sunday 14th December
🕐 1 PM – 3 PM
📍 Fight Station Kickboxing
✅ Punch stress out on the bags
✅ Relax with guided breathing and mindset techniques
✅ Connect with good coffee, cake, and community
👉 Reserve your spot here.
💬 Real Change Starts with Small Steps
You don’t have to overhaul your life overnight. Sometimes, it starts with one session. One punch. One hour for yourself.
Whether you join us for our Abs, Bags & Pads fitness classes, or come along to the Mens Release & Recharge Event, know this: you matter, your mental health matters, and this is your time.
If you’re a dad, brother, mate, teen, or man who’s been running on empty — this space is for you.
