BOYZONE star turned fitness ambassador Shane Lynch will be in Devizes on Monday to help promote a new women only kick boxing class.

He will be a Nursteed Primary School from 7pm after joining forces with martial arts expert Matt Fiddes.

Classes for MF Martial Arts are run each week at the school by Tracy Court and she will be chief instructor on Monday night.

Mr Lynch said: "For ladies I think it is wonderful as you can learn how to defend yourself while keeping in shape."

The new classes are aimed at girls and women aged over 14.

Mrs Court said: "I run the franchise for the classes in Devizes and other towns in Wiltshire. Shane has daughters of his own and is very keen to publicise the benefits of self defence for girls and women."

Mr Lynch became a fan of Mr Fiddes gyms after going to a club in Surrey. He said: "I know how it feels to be intimidated when you go into a big corporate gym and there is a massive platform out there for women only classes. I went to one of Matt's clubs in Guildford and it's incredible what he has done.
