Toe 2 Toe caters for all ages sizes and abilities, the range of coaching expertise is fantastic and they've got a great properly raised ring. Loads of gym equipment and some brilliant classes that include sparing for all levels. If your thinking of getting fit or just want to de-stress from a long day this place is worth a shout.
