An amazing gym that perfectly balances great equipment with a highly respectful, modest environment. The segregated training areas are fantastic and fully equipped, allowing for a completely comfortable and distraction free workout. Having a clean, dedicated prayer room onsite is incredibly convenient. The staff and members are welcoming, creating a truly supportive community. Highly recommend!
Five stars for a five star gym - perfect for women who want to train in an all female setting. You feel 100% safe whilst you are here. Everyone in management is so helpful. The gym is kept very clean and tidy. Parking is free in The Observatory Car Park.
Amazing hospitality from all staff and clean working environments in both the gym and in classes.
Allahumma Barik, Blackbeard MMA is an outstanding gym with a welcoming atmosphere and top-level coaching. The trainers are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping everyone improve, whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced fighter. The sessions are intense, technical, and well-structured, with a great balance between fitness, discipline, and skill development. One of the standout qualities of the gym is its strong community spirit. Everyone is supportive, respectful, and always willing to help each other improve, creating an environment where you feel motivated from day one. It feels more like a team than just a gym, with people encouraging each other both inside and outside of training. The facilities are clean, the classes are well organised, and there’s a real sense of belonging that makes you want to keep coming back. If you’re looking for a gym that combines serious training with a positive, community-driven environment, Blackbeard MMA is definitely worth checking out.
Great gym with a really welcoming atmosphere. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the equipment is always clean and well-maintained. It never feels too crowded, and there’s a good range of machines and weights for all types of workouts. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a reliable place to train. There is a wide range of classes from boxing, jui jitsu, wrestling, and MMA which are taught by professionals and are suitable for all levels. Definitely recommend if you want both a solid gym and the option to train MMA.
How do i use mere words to describe a place so great. The welcoming atmosphere that the coaches and staff provide is really out of this world. The smiles and respect given by not just the staff but the community this establishment provides. The advice given by the coaches not out of authority but out of experience and commitment to the progress of the students. I really adore the speeches and reminders the coaches provide after the each session about not just the becoming a better athlete/ fighter but a better person Shout out to all their staff. They really are #creatingfuturechampions
I’ve had a great experience at Black Beard MMA and honestly couldn’t recommend it enough. The coaches are top quality — not just in terms of skill and knowledge, but also how they teach and support you. They take the time to help everyone improve, whether you’re a complete beginner or more advanced. They push you to do better but always in a positive and motivating way. The environment is one of the best parts. It’s very welcoming, friendly, and respectful. Everyone helps each other out, and there’s no ego — just people trying to get better together. It makes training something you actually look forward to. What really stands out is how the coaches are not just good on the mats, but also off them. They genuinely care about their students, give good advice, and build a strong sense of community. It’s more than just a gym, it feels like a team. Overall, if you’re looking to get into MMA or improve your skills in a supportive and professional environment, Black Beard MMA is a great place to be.
