Motor City Boxing Club

Former Members and Coaches

This is Don Nelson I am posting this now because I am getting messages about getting equipment out of the gym and asking where/when the Club will relocate. Unfortunately I am currently unable to answer these questions. So I need to explain a few things;

First of all I had no notice Durham Ultiminate Fitness was going to close our location when they did. I had literally just left for Nova Scotia to see my family and take my first personal vacation in many years 3 days before they posted on Facebook they were not reopening their Bloor Street Oshawa location. I had called them a day before leaving to let them know I’d be away and told them if there were any issues with the anticipated Stage 3 reopening we were expecting to call Mike. They never mentioned closing at that time. I learned that they’d be closing on Facebook just like everyone else did .

I don’t have a key to that gym and never had, but I’ve asked for a key when I return to Ontario on August 3rd so I can let members:
/coaches in to get their equipment from lockers and the equipment that belongs to Motor City can be removed or sold.

Unfortunately I am not in a position to do anything until August 3rd. DUFC is saying they want all of our stuff out by August 15 so I am assuming I’ll get access before that.

I am sorry that nobody has been able to get in and collect whatever equipment they left in their lockers. Please keep in mind I’ve lost because of this myself; a club that I started in 1993 which had never shut its doors ever in 28 years is now closed, thousands of dollars in club equipment/gear we’d acquired by running shows etc over the last 28 years and all my personal coaching/boxing equipment. So believe me I do understand how you are feeling.

Please bear with me there’s nothing I can do from Nova Scotia about any of this but I’ll be back in 6 days and then I’ll do everything in my power to get you into the gym. In the meantime be sure to cancel your memberships if you haven’t already as the contracts are with Durham Ultiminate Fitness not Motor City Boxing.
