I have no hesitation in recommending Prokick to anyone who is either a novice or someone wishing to enhance thier skills in kickboxing. The coaching under the tutelage of Mr. Bill Murray (former multiple world champion) is superb and as good as it gets. Both the staff and other members of the team are welcoming and always helpful, which creates an amazing atmosphere in the gym. Mindful of Covid 19 the gym was always thoroughly and meticulously cleaned/disinfected. If you haven't tried I strongly suggest you do, you won't be disappointed.

Trained here a few years ago, I found the teaching to be sub par and the facilities to be laughably bad. There is no air conditioning or heat so it's too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. I found the trainer to be quite rude and abrupt. I've studied at several martial arts establishments over the years and I found this to be the worst by far.

Classes are oversubscribed & cramped, gym rules are not stated or equally enforced, the primary trainer can be rude, I would not return nor recommend to others but do wish them luck

Billy is fantastic, he never misses a thing and ensures everyone participates and will help anyone improve their technique and fitness. In fact, everyone you train with is usually friendly and will offer each other advice or motivate you. The classes are a very good price for
