Progression MMA has honestly been one of the best things we’ve done for our child.
From the very beginning, we’ve been so impressed by the community spirit and the way everyone is made to feel welcome. It doesn’t matter if you’re a complete beginner, have never done it before, or have plenty of experience everyone is treated with the same respect and encouraged to be the best version of themselves.
What we’ve noticed most is the change in our son. His confidence has grown so much, he's developed greater resilience and he is more willing to step outside his comfort zone and have a go at things that he might have previously seemed challenging to him
But it’s more than just MMA. The friendships, encouragement from the other kids/adults and the sense of belonging have made such a positive difference. There’s a genuine community feel at Progression, and it’s something really special to be part of.
We’re incredibly grateful to Duke, the coaches and everyone at Progression MMA for creating such a positive, supportive and inclusive environment. We honestly couldn’t recommend Progression highly enough.
I’ve trained at a few different gyms in Canberra but eventually found a home at Progression. I can honestly say it’s the best gym and community I’ve ever been a part of and I’d never ever go anywhere else. Having a head coach that’s out here still competing, fighting on big cards and constantly pushing himself makes a huge difference too. It’s one thing to coach from the sidelines but having someone actively out there doing it themselves is something I really respect. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!
I love Cal's fitness classes so much, it's so approachable as a non-athlete and a young parent without much free time, there's sessions across the day so it's accessible if you're a morning or an evening person, or you're lucky enough to have a long enough lunch break 🥰
World class facilities and Trainers!
Duke makes you feel at home when you arrive and he’s always happy to help if you need.
The gym is always adding equipment and training sessions. If you have never been to a fighting gym before these little things do matter.
Plenty of options for whatever you are interested in. I personally have been boxing at the gym, I use the gym facilities to warm up or get some weights in before my sessions. It’s never an issue and there’s always space.
Get in there and have some fun!
I have three young boys who have found so much confidence through judo! Great facility, fab instructors. They have formed friendships and has done wonders for their strength and physical intelligence also. Would recommend.
Progression is a fantastic gym with great, personable coaches and top-notch facilities. It has a welcoming vibe for all newbies, which makes it so much more enjoyable to train and learn. The classes are diverse and well-structured, making it easy to improve your skills while staying motivated. Duke has done an incredible job not only with the gym itself but, more importantly, with the strong, supportive community he has built. Defiantly should give it a try!!
Hands down the best facility in Canberra! Duke and the team at Progression MMA & fitness make everyone feel welcome as they cater to all levels of experience. It’s my home away from home. Can’t recommend the place enough!

The real gem of Progression MMA lies in its coaching staff. The instructors are not only highly experienced but also incredibly passionate about what they do. Their expertise in mixed martial arts is evident in every session, and they tailor their guidance to suit each individual's needs. I've been blown away by their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile to help every student improve.
One of the most thrilling aspects of training at Progression MMA is the opportunity to train alongside international fighters. The gym attracts talent from all around the world, creating a diverse and inspiring training atmosphere. The chance to spar and learn from these skilled athletes has been an invaluable experience for my own growth as a fighter.
Moreover, the gym's sense of community is second to none. The camaraderie among students and coaches fosters a supportive and encouraging environment. No matter your skill level, you'll feel welcomed and part of the team from day one.
Whether you're looking to become a competitive fighter, learn self-defense, or simply stay in shape, Progression MMA is the place to be. The combination of the top-notch facility, world-class coaching, and the presence of international fighters makes it an unbeatable choice for anyone serious about mixed martial arts.
