I trained in both Muay Thai and Boxing at this gym, it was an incredible experience and a huge impact on my life. All my trainers (Coaches Sami and Matt in Muay Thai / Coaches Jason, Stuart and Samuel in Boxing) were all top of their craft beasts and are incredibly helpful at every point of your growth and skill level. The gym culture and facilities were top notch, and the value is insane compared to virtually every other gym in London. High recommend!

Can definitely say Gauntlet is one of the best, if not the best, fight gyms in London. This is largely due to coaches like Wali and Mike being best in class within their respective disciplines, who really take the time with beginners, as well as pushing more experienced members to higher levels. Would definitely recommend.

I cannot recommend Gauntlet Fight Academy enough! As a shy individual, I was initially nervous about joining, but from the very first day, the members and coaches have been incredibly welcoming and supportive. This is the first gym where I’ve truly felt like I belong and found a safe space to learn martial arts. Unlike other gyms I’ve tried in the past, where I often felt left out as a beginner or overwhelmed in male-dominated spaces, Gauntlet has been a completely different experience. There’s a wonderful mix of people here, including many strong, supportive women who have made training an enjoyable and inclusive experience. The variety of martial arts offered is another huge plus, and every coach is not only highly skilled but also approachable and dedicated to helping you improve at your own pace. On top of that, the yoga classes here are an incredible bonus, offering a perfect balance to the intensity of the martial arts training. Whether you’re new to martial arts or experienced, Gauntlet Fight Academy is a fantastic place to grow, learn, and feel part of a supportive community. I’m so grateful to have found it!
