Overall fantastic gym, and Jon is one of the best fight coaches in the region. I learnt a lot from him in a very short space of time. There’s no where else I’d rather train, highly recommend anyone from a beginner to an experienced fighter to come along.

My brother started attending this gym 6 months ago, his confidence has really grown, he is part of a supportive team and he has progressed so much in such a short time. There is so many opportunities offered by the Coach and if you’re looking to get into MMA I would definitely recommend Balance Mixed Martial Arts!!

If you’re looking to start mma this is the place to go! A friendly gym with tons of people ready to help you, with a teacher who’s so passionate and full of knowledge about training but without an ego! Great place to help build confidence. As a new starter Jon gave me 1-1 till I was ready to join class giving me confidence through basic knowledge so I didn’t feel like I’d jumped into the deep end.

My son attends this club he started off with one day a week and now he attends 4/5 lessions a week. Jon is a fantastic trainer he has so much patience and gives step by step instructions and keeps me updated with my sons progression. my son is autistic and I was a little apprehensive at first but it has been brilliant instead of being sat in front of a phone all the time he is now doing something that he loves and is good for him health wise but also helps him interact with his peers. I couldn't of picked a better club

We honestly cannot recommend Balance highly enough. The team are incredibly supportive, welcoming and genuinely inclusive of children with additional needs. They have been amazing with my son, patient, understanding and encouraging in all the right ways. He absolutely loves going and his confidence has grown so much since starting. The coaches create a friendly, positive environment where every child feels valued and capable. We’re so grateful to have found such a fantastic team.

Been training here for a couple months now and honestly couldn’t ask for a better MMA gym. Balance has a friendly atmosphere and Jon is a top coach — explains things in a simple way and gives everyone time and attention. Sessions are tough but fun, and you can see progress if you stay consistent. Everyone’s welcoming and it’s a great place whether you’re brand new or already have experience. Definitely recommend giving it a try👍🏽

My son has just recently started here for Teen MMA, he is really enjoying it, he says Jon the coach is very experienced and explains the different moves to him to help him understand the sport and he says all the lads within the group are nice no matter what level they are at which makes him feel at ease as a beginner.

I have not been at this gym long but immediately as i went for the first time everyone at balance MMA were inviting and i had the best experience i have had anywhere. I now feel part of a family and the head coach jon is very experienced and has made me very passionate about the sport. If you are thinking about joining the gym definitely come and give it a go as you will feel right at home here at balance MMA.
