Very welcoming atmosphere from the get go , brilliant craic , great squad of people would highly reccomend for anybody interested in learning martial arts and getting fit
Brilliant service and when reading the description of what they offer it really is extremely helpful and I now know what I want I cannot wait for my competitive run really makes everything easier the way it was all explained to me.
And the friendliness from the coaches is unbelievable thank you
Joining IFS has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. The coaches are approachable, knowledgeable, and always go out of their way to help, and everyone who trains here is friendly and supportive.
My fitness has come on leaps and bounds, and I’ve lost over 30kg in a few months. The training is challenging but extremely fulfilling, enjoyable, and the atmosphere keeps you coming back.
I couldn’t recommend IFS highly enough. Whether you’re completely new to MMA or have experience, you’ll be made to feel welcome from day one
Had a great time training at IFS MMA while visiting Belfast. Really welcoming atmosphere from the moment I walked in and the level of training was very solid. The coaches, Lee and Paul McLaughlin, were knowledgeable, helpful, and made everyone feel included regardless of experience level. The gym had a great vibe and everyone was respectful and there to work hard. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for quality MMA training in Belfast.
My teenage son started here not knowing a single person, and the difference in him has been incredible. His confidence has grown so much, and he’s genuinely excited for every class. The coaches are friendly, patient, and really supportive, and the whole place has such a welcoming atmosphere.
The people who attend are also so friendly and respectful toward him, especially since he’s one of the younger ones. They’ve made him feel included from day one, and that support has played a huge part in his growth.
I would absolutely recommend IFS MMA for a teenager — it’s been such a positive and confidence‑building experience for my son.
Incredible gym!! Big cage to work as well as bags, mats, and upstairs place. Everything you could possibly need. Massive thank you to Paul McLaughlin 🙏 looking forward to coming back already
I tried a few MMA places in and around Belfast but IFS really stood out for me. The minute I walked in the door I felt very welcome,everyone was so friendly. There was no egos or politics and very cross community, everyone made me feel really welcome. The gym trains hard and gets fantastic results. I have lost a stone already and my fitness has went through the roof. Everyone is accountable and encouraged to be the best they can be so if you really want to self improve there's no excuses. Highly recommend for anyone looking to take themselves to a new level.
IFS MMA are fantastic at what they do, for being only a beginner myself the motivating atmosphere definitely helps you find your feet in a new gym very easily!
All ego’s are left at the door for everyone to come together and put some solid work in with great instructive & helpful coaches!
First time doing any martial arts and joined the 12 beginner class. Really welcoming as a beginner and all great lads. Been going to a mix of beginner only classes and classes that are open to everyone. Good mix of drills and also more technique focused class.
Extremely happy to be back at it with IFS, the progress I made in the 3 months alone has been great. I feel my skills in the short period of time has been improving massively. I would love to compete sometime early next year. With the coaches and support from other members that I’ve had in the 3 months has been great and rewarding. I cannot recommend in highly to anyone wanting to compete or to just get fitter and healthier
Amazing Atmosphere, just on the end of a 12 week beginner programme IFS offer and my fitness and confidence has went up tremendously. All students and coaches are friendly, open minded and supportive to anyone who joins no matter the circumstances. Extremely hygienic as mats are always washed and brushed regularly. Couldn’t recommend a better starting point for someone who wants to exceed in fitness or learn Martial Arts. Excited to continue learning at this gym it is only the beginning :)
Joining IFS has been one of the best decisions I have made in my life, the people in the gym are very welcoming and supportive. My mental and physical health has boosted tremendously as I enjoy the hard work you put into the sessions and also the results you receive afterwords. My skill set has also improved lots as the techniques you are shown and taught are very interesting and have boosted my overall confidence.
I would recommend the IFS gym to anyone who is considering starting something new as it can help with your overall physical and mental well-being.
