⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • a year ago

Great set of lads and lasses. Very professional and tolerant for beginners. Not your bog standard boxing/mma gym where they just put you on the bags for an hour and has an intimidating atmosphere. Attentive when it comes to technique so more you put in, more you get out. Great equipment for general strength and conditioning too.

Fantastic equipment and facilities, more than enough to meet anyone’s requirements. A great set of coaches which are all very knowledgeable and friendly, making everyone feel welcome. A top place to train at whatever you’re goals are, stretching from a beginner or hobbyist to an active fighter.

A fantastic place to train martial arts and better yourself. The investment in equipment is outstanding from the SNC area with weights to the martial arts equipment which Includes a boxing ring, heavy bags, MMA cage and a large matted area. The coaching staff are also very knowledgeable, friendly and extremely helpful.
