The gym group, which began in a converted warehouse unit in Bridgwater in 2019, is to launch the new facility on Saturday 28 November as the business sets out plans to double in size within a year.
Since lockdown, Trident has grown to nine gyms nationwide, with developments underway at several further sites. The company expects to double its estate by this time next year.
The Longbridge launch brings together four announcements:
Craig Stephens, founder of Trident Gym, said: “I started Trident in a warehouse unit with my brother and my eldest son, after years working as a builder.
“Opening a dedicated England Boxing floor in Birmingham, with apprenticeships backed by Matchroom, shows how far we’ve come.
“But this floor is really about the young people around Longbridge. Boxing can give them fun, freedom, discipline and purpose, and that’s what we want this space to be.”
Former world champions Nigel Benn and James DeGale and Olympic boxer Delicious Orie are expected to attend the launch.
The launch will take place from 10.30 to 12 noon at the Longbridge gym at 1375 Bristol Road South.
