Two Taunton businesses have teamed up to offer a new kind of group that aims to help men with both their physical and mental health.

Applebees Health and Channel Adventure, situated in French Weir Park, have started the "#unstoppable" program.

The unique scheme, launched last week, combines physical exercise, adrenaline-inducing sports, relaxation techniques, resilience training, and other tools to bolster both physical and mental wellness.

Scheduled for twice a week, the activities include boxing, water sports, life coaching, strength work, axe throwing, and campfire gatherings.

Ben Appleby, founder of Applebees Health, said: "Our goal is to get men outdoors, get men active and get men talking.

"We understand that health is a balance of both physical and mental wellbeing.

"This initiative is not just about physical health; it places a significant focus on mental health, recognising its crucial role in overall wellness."

The representative at Channel Adventure expressed their optimism, stating: "We are just starting with this campaign, but we've taken a lot of positives away from our first sessions and hope to build on our programmes moving forward.

"Even though we deliver in six-week blocks, you can join at any point.

"There is no set structure to the sessions, we just want to get men outdoors, talking and enjoying something different!"
