A Welcoming Start to a New Journey I recently began a 6-week course and I have to say, it's been an incredibly positive experience so far. From the first phone call with Alex just before Christmas to my very first session on January 6th, the entire process has been welcoming and supportive. At 37, overweight, unfit, and dealing with several medical issues, I was apprehensive about starting. But from the moment I walked in, I felt reassured. After just the first session, I felt a mix of tenderness and pride. The workout was challenging, but Alex and the team ensured it was always at a level that I could handle, not pushing me beyond my comfort zone, but encouraging me to progress at my own pace. Alex truly understands his clients. He pairs new starters with more experienced individuals, creating a supportive environment where no one is left behind. I was paired with people ranging from 2 months to 8 months of experience and they were all incredibly kind and motivating, ensuring I felt comfortable the entire time. This course has already made a huge difference, and I'm excited for the changes 2025 will bring. If you're looking for a welcoming, supportive and understanding place to start your fitness journey, I highly recommend this course.
Posted 2 months agoAbsolutely unbelievable experience, more than anything it’s very humbling, there’s people who are all sorts of different skill sets, so it’s all about respect and getting better, I loved it!! Couldn’t recommend higher for anyone trying to gain some confidence, get active or even knowledge around completely new techniques or self defence!! Alex runs a brilliant gym! And I’m very happy to now be a part of it 🖤
Posted 2 months agoGreat gym with a really welcoming atmosphere. Alex and olly are really good at making sure you’re learning at your own pace and making you feel part of the group. Really recommend to anyone who’s thinking of joining.
Posted a month agoFor anyone thinking of taking up BJJ… this is the place to go. Taking up a new sport at any age can be daunting never mind mid 20’s. Alex and the team made me feel very comfortable on my first session and settled me in very quickly. Very knowledgeable coaching team who genuinely take the time to teach you what you need to know. A great community feel to the team and I can’t wait to continue to grow within the team.
Posted 3 months agoFirst time training was really nervous. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Doesn’t feel like hard work because it’s enjoyable but even after first session my whole body was sore (good sore) looking forward to the next session.
