This is a great gym, I have trained here now on and off for 2-3 years. The Mondays and Wednesday MMA is full of a lovely bunch of people that are happy to have a chat before and after class and the classes are very fun. Luke and James are great coaches who really care about your learning and the overall feel of the gym is a real community vibe. Would highly recommend, they also have kids classes.

After going to a few different gyms over the years, this place is a breath of fresh air, no egos, good friendly atmosphere, safe environment, great value for money, and really good fun. Great Coaches take the time to teach you and help you keep improving. There’s a place for both experienced MMA guys to hone their skills, and beginners to get started on their journey. I couldn’t recommend this gym more highly, every session you get a solid workout, learn some great striking and grappling skills and all in safe friendly place free of judgement. 👍 Awesome gym!

Great training at the MMA Room. Unfortunately I’ve moved away but any chance I can go back to train with James then I will. I enjoyed every session and learned so much. Had a lot of fun too. The atmosphere is really friendly and gave me the self confidence I needed in other areas of my life. Loved every minute!
