One word for this club, it's instructors and it's team.....Amazing!! I'm an older member who is not in the best of shape. Currently working hard to get myself fitter. Was very apprehensive and self conscious about trying a class, but no need. The instructors and the team are all so friendly, welcoming and helpful. I now look forward to going to every class I can. My son has also joined the kids classes at the club, which are also fantastic. Still sitting on the fence? Don't! Give it a try and just do your best (however good or bad that might at the moment). You won't look back!!

I highly recommend anyone considering taking up martial arts to head down to Icon. Great people, great environment and great training. Since joining, I’ve noticed significant improvements not just in my physical fitness, but also in my mindset, discipline, and overall well-being. Training here has helped me build confidence, resilience, and a sense of community that has positively impacted my life beyond the gym. Whether you’re looking to improve your skills, get fitter, or find a positive and empowering space, Icon is the place to be. Can’t recommend it enough!

ICON is an awsome gym to train at! the coaches are brilliant and it's a very friendly atmosphere. The level is high but people do not take advantage of others ie lower belts etc. Everyone is very welcoming here so it makes new comers feel at ease. I've trained at many gyms over the years but definitely found a good base at icon Peterborough.
