In a few months Moscow office workers will get a chance to fight each other in a very intelligent and healthy way on the way home. The idea to create a fitness club where all the training is based on boxing came to Helen Malov more than six months ago. Since then she started looking for a suitable place for the club, developing a design concept and searching for coachers. Soon she has found a stunning industrial grid on former Red October chocolate factory. After she came up with the title October Boxing Club and the final concept – an alternative fitness-club club for senior managers, boxing ring for “white collars”.

At the moment they are working on the finishing touches. There will a be a huge boxing ring in the main hall, mirrors on the walls and sets of exercisers in a smaller room – free weights, dumbbells, a pair of bicycles, punch boxes. Founders of the project predict that men will be attending this club much more often than women so men’s locker room is a way bigger. Men will also have sauna in the locker room. But the bar was built for everyone. They plan to sell alcohol and to conduct sports games screening.
