Laverton is about to welcome back a legendary fitness legacy, with Team Ellis Gym opening a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility in Laverton North this May.
For those who know the history, Keith Ellis and Lester Ellis both trained in Laverton decades ago. Now, after all these years, they are coming back to where it all started — but this time, it’s about more than just boxing.
At Team Ellis Gym, they’ve seen firsthand how boxing has transformed into one of the best ways for everyday people to get fit, stay strong, and build confidence.
Jake Ellis, Lester’s middle child, sums it up perfectly when he says “Boxing has changed so much since my dad last trained here. I love that it’s become popular as a fitness exercise for everyday people. It’s a great way to train, get fit, and feel stronger, both physically and mentally.“
The gym will be a family-friendly space for men, women, and kids as young as five. Whether you want to lose weight, build confidence, or be part of a supportive community, you’ll find a home with Team Ellis.
Over the last eight years, Team Ellis has helped hundreds of families in Keilor East transform their lives through fitness, and with the gym now completely full, they knew it was time to give back to Laverton North.
The team also believe in the power of training to improve mental health and build resilience. Many members have discovered a newfound sense of confidence, energy, and motivation through their training. The next generation is looking bright, and Team Ellis can’t wait to welcome them.
The gym will be led by former Light Heavyweight Australian Champion and Laverton local Lucas Miller, alongside trainers Kodi Jacques (ex-Essendon FC player and amateur boxer) and Nicholas Scerri (undefeated professional boxer).
To celebrate, Team Ellis is offering Foundation Memberships at the lowest rates ever, with early access before the official opening.
