What This Really Is

This isn't a boxing camp. It's a reset for the man behind everything.

You've spent years building — a business, a family, a life for everyone else. Somewhere in it, the man who started all that went quiet.

This is three days to bring him back. The training is real and it's hard. But the boxing is only the vehicle. What you're really here for is the man who drives home Sunday night — steadier, sharper, present again.

Is This For You?

You're doing well. So why does something still feel missing?

Most of the men who come look fine on paper — and quietly know they've lost touch with part of themselves. You're not broken. You've just poured everything into everyone else. This is where you get some of it back.

Never Thrown a Punch?

Good. Most of them hadn't either.

Nearly every man who comes has never boxed. Nobody's thrown in the deep end. Nobody's judged. Nobody has to prove anything.

Every session is coached, controlled, and scaled to you — whatever your age or fitness. You'll be challenged, never put in danger. The goal was never to make fighters. It's to give a man his confidence back.

Used to Box?

You never really forget.

Maybe you trained years ago. Then life happened — business, kids, mortgages, the lot.

Putting the gloves back on has a funny way of bringing part of you back with it. The part that was fit, sharp, and up for anything. He's still in there.

How Your Weekend Moves

Arrive a stranger. Leave a brother.

FRIDAY

Nervous energy

Everyone arrives a little on edge, nobody knowing anyone. By the first evening — a walk, a session, a talk that lands — the walls start to crack.

SATURDAY

The walls come down

Train hard, recover, and the honest conversations start. This is where the brotherhood forms and the confidence builds.

SUNDAY

Every man steps forward

The peak. Every man does something he wasn't sure he could — and discovers something about himself he carries home for good.

Who You'll Stand Beside

Led by men who've lived it.

Les Sherrington

Les Sherrington

Former world champion with titles across two weight divisions. Over the last decade he's helped hundreds of ordinary men rediscover discipline, confidence and self-belief.

Dave Harms

Dave Harms

Business owner. Husband. Father. I built Lock & Load alongside Les because somewhere along the way I realised too many good men spend decades building businesses, careers and families — while quietly forgetting themselves. That's who I am now.

The Real Transformation

It doesn't happen in the ring. It happens when you get home.

The husband who's more present.
The father with more patience.
The businessman who's clearer.
The leader who's calmer.

That's what you're really paying for — not a weekend, but the version of you that everyone around you gets back.

The Track Record

Les has put hundreds of ordinary men through this.

Blokes who'd never thrown a punch. Blokes who thought their best years were behind them. They walked out standing taller — and stayed that way. Your story's next.

Secure Your Spot

Ten men. Three days. One hell of a challenge.

Every man trains under former world champion Les Sherrington and his team. Here's exactly what's included.
