OUR STORY
We're a community that champions the underdog and believes in the transformative power of boxing training for all.
Hitfit was founded with a powerful vision—to bring the transformative power of boxing to every Australian household. Established by Darcy Ellis, son of legendary five-time world boxing champion Lester Ellis, Hitfit carries forward a deep-rooted legacy of discipline, resilience, and personal growth. Inspired by his father's remarkable journey in the ring, Darcy saw firsthand how boxing could shape lives—building not just physical strength, but mental toughness, confidence, and a sense of community.
In May 2019, Hitfit opened its doors in Melton, Victoria, with a clear mission: to make world-class boxing-inspired fitness accessible to everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. From the very beginning, our goal has been to empower individuals to become the best versions of themselves—whether through weight loss, improved fitness, self-defense, or simply a more active lifestyle.
OUR MISSION IS TO CHANGE THE LIVES OF PEOPLE THROUGH THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF BOXING. WE'RE HERE TO CREATE AN INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT AND BUILD A COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORTS PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE TO AWAKEN THEIR INNER FIGHTER. WE BELIEVE THE IMPACT OF BOXING GOES FAR BEYOND THE GYM, AND OUR VISION IS TO EMBED IT INTO THE HEART OF AUSTRALIAN CULTURE, CREATING CHANGE THAT LASTS GENERATIONS.
