Kickboxing

Our kickboxing classes combine traditional martial arts techniques with modern fitness training. Suitable for adults, teens, and juniors, sessions focus on improving physical coordination, cardiovascular health, and self-defence skills. Experienced instructors guide participants through progressive drills and sparring exercises in a structured environment that prioritises safety and skill development while building confidence and discipline.

Boxing

Boxing instruction covers fundamental techniques through advanced competitive preparation. Classes develop hand-eye coordination, upper body strength, and cardiovascular endurance. Participants train with pads, bags, and partners while learning defensive strategies and ringcraft. The programme accommodates both recreational boxers seeking fitness benefits and serious athletes pursuing competitive excellence in a supportive training environment.

Boxfit

Boxfit sessions blend boxing techniques with high-intensity interval training to deliver comprehensive fitness benefits. These classes improve core strength, agility, and endurance through dynamic circuits incorporating skipping, bodyweight exercises, and striking drills. Designed for all fitness levels, Boxfit provides an effective calorie-burning workout that enhances coordination while teaching practical self-defence movements in an energetic group setting.

Self Defence

Self-defence programmes teach practical techniques for real-world situations. Instruction focuses on awareness, de-escalation strategies, and physical countermeasures. Participants learn to assess threats, create escape opportunities, and apply effective defensive techniques. The curriculum addresses common attack scenarios while building confidence through scenario-based training that develops both mental preparedness and physical response capabilities.

Personal Training

Tailored personal training programmes address individual fitness goals and martial arts aspirations. Sessions combine technical instruction with customised conditioning plans, offering focused attention to refine skills or accelerate progress. Trainers develop bespoke routines for weight loss, competition preparation, or general fitness improvement, incorporating martial arts elements to create engaging workouts that build both physical capability and mental resilience through dedicated one-to-one guidance.

A proper boxing gym; pad work, sparring, fitness and bagwork run by Rich - a great coach who pays attention to every single attendee and provides guidance throughout the class. Lots of emphasis on technique.

I was warned about Paul but decided to try anyway. Big mistake. He seemed socially awkward, which is fine, but was very angry the whole class. He shouted for the whole hour and even got angrier at us when HE made an error. We were only 2 girls trying something new so this was way more intimidating than it had to be. The locker rooms were also filthy.

I joined Marshall Fitness a year ago as an absolute novice to kickboxing. The club is really friendly and welcoming with all the instructors (and higher belts) taking the time to help you. Id highly recommend.

One of the younger instructors literally threatened me in sparring.
Turns out I was breaking a rule but I thought that this was covid related and had been relaxed. Still not an appropriate way to handle the situation.
