I went to the Gym as a newbie and joined a group class, it was called padwork and sweat, I'd never done any type of boxing before but Gavin was very patient with me and showed me the basics. He incorporates the HIIT type workout, it was really fun, would def recommend!

Gav and everyone who works at this gym are absolute legends. They clean the place REGULARLY, I've seen it happen multiple times and I'm there once a week at a very specific time. The workouts are ridiculously intense, really enjoyable and the vibes are just all round great.

Amazing gym! Have been going for more than a year. High energy workouts with great variety - never a dull moment! I had no experience in kickboxing but once I stepped in the gym, never wanted to miss a class. Highly recommended for anyone who's looking for a great and fun workout.

Amazing gym, its clean and super well kitted out. The members of staff are polite and really know their stuff. Ive been doing personal training with Gavin for a couple of months now and it is really worth my money, time and effort. He is very patient and knows how to motivate me so that I work hard and get the most of our sessions.
