Former Commonwealth Games gold medalist boxer Jamie Arthur and his wife Karen have helped regenerate a local community space in rural south Wales into a inspiring training space and health club.

Starting with a derelict bingo hut in Rhydyfelin, near Pontypridd, Wales, Jamie and fitness instructor wife Karen spent six months transforming a once-redundant community building into an independent gym and community hub, branded Arthur's Gym.

Working together with UK-based equipment supplier Jordan Fitness, the couple have created a space with a heavy emphasis on boxing and boxing training.

Jamie says: "Jordan Fitness has supplied us with its Powerbags, Alpha Strong sandbags and Jungle Gym XT Suspension Training Systems, which has resulted in great customer feedback. It has really helped us to attract members to the gym.

"It's fantastic to see a community gym offering so many young people opportunities within the sport, as well as promoting exercise for the older age groups".

Arthur was crowned Welsh Super featherweight champion in 2008, and also won gold at the Commonwealth Games in Manchester in 2002.
