Initially being uneasy and slightly nervous, the Kraken team where very welcoming, friendly and made me feel confident quickly. They talked me through what they do, the experience they have and how they can accommodate to all experience levels. Having no experience with any combat sport and always wanting to get into it I love this pace. The classes are different and engaging every time. They are designed to push you to achieve your best physical self. They are welcoming of people at different levels both males and females. They are also welcoming for youngsters to build self confidence. Already making good progress. 10/10. Looking forward to more sessions.

My 5yr old son and I started training here in August 2019, and we love it, can't get enough of the place. It's helped my son in so many ways, his focus and concentration levels have improved along with his overall confidence. The fact that he enjoys it so much is due to the well thought out class structure and the friendly professional coaches which make the whole place buzz with a positive friendly atmosphere. A few months later my wife joined and enjoys the weekly yoga classes. It really is a great family friendly place to stay active and keep fit, whatever your fitness goals are I would highly recommend Kraken. There's even a café on site and a sauna, really couldn't ask for more!

My son started here recently and I have to say we are both loving it. He has his passion back for MMA and his passion is matched by the coaches and all who train there. The facilities are clean and fresh with a great area downstairs for parents/members to sit and socialise. The staff are all fully trained, the atmosphere is friendly and most importantly for the younger ones - IT’S FUN! Keep it up Kraken!
