    Joined Birmingham Fight Night and have training here 4 times a week. The coaches are very knowledgeable and really push you hard, which is exactly what you want when you’re supposed to be in your best shape before a fight. My experience here has been very positive and I recommend anyone looking to start boxing to give this gym a go.

    A great gym I definitely recommend!! As a woman there I’ve never had any problems with any of the coaches and I can say the same for all the other women that train here, if you’ve feel you’ve had any misunderstandings I can assure there intentions are good! Id’e also say for new comers if you don’t feel confident especially for women going into a gym with male coaches it can be intimidating but over time you get to know them, they are really down to earth guys!!

    With so many boxing gyms around it’s important to research both the gym and the coaches before you commit. I was recommended to check out D&A by a friend who introduced me to the head coach Ant - two words - super impressed! The attention to detail and commitment that Ant invests in his students is something i have never seen before. I have been here for 5 weeks and I’ve made some amazing progress. Ant encourages video and written diaries which really help me understand and not forget the different techniques i am learning. I would highly recommend, Happy to have a chat with anyone that is thinking of joining 🥊 🙂

    This gym is an amazing place, I took up boxing about a year ago with the goal of cutting the extra pounds. On my first day the staff were very attentive and have since pushed me to my goals and beyond. They made boxing enjoyable while teaching the fundamentals to a T. I am now taking on my first bout in December. I would definitely recommend this gym to anybody thinking of learning to box.

    Being a boxer for some time now, settling down at a gym has been hard, but I was met with warm welcomes and hard work. This gym is more of a family, people who care about you and only want to see you succeed, their knowledge of combat sport is second to none. Definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone for any reason.

    Started boxing at D&A from the start of this year after going around to a few boxing gyms in the city but not finding what I was looking for. Ever since starting at D&A my boxing skills have accelerated to another level which is exactly what I was looking for. The concentration they put into teaching technique to their students is miles ahead, so if your looking to improve your boxing game then get down to D&A. The head coach has an eyeful watch on everyone in the class giving his very knowledgeable boxing expertise to all the student and I also like how when the classes are on there is always minimum 3-5 coaches (sometimes more!!) walking around giving you tips to help you improve and push you further. The fitness levels at this gym are also elite, ive been to a few gyms and not been pushed anywhere like I have here which is what you want. And lastly I like how they teach discipline and strong mindset/positive values, its good mental framework for building a strong mind and good preparation if you want to get confident and you want to get ahead in life. I could go on all day.. but serious whether you're looking to get in amazing shape or take your boxing skills to the next level then get yourself down to D&A cos you wont be disappointed

    D&A Boxing school is outstanding boxing gym with many role models for kids to look upto: The coaches (Anthony, Danny, Leon, Nomi, Jag, sa'id, Dean and Vinny) are all very knowledgeable and more importantly super helpful; quick to show you pointers for improvement. The gym has modern equipment and has a nice friendly vibe. My son is gaining confidence and they're whipping me into shape #easy work 😳 🥵 👊👊

    I have joined back at boxing for a few months now, and I’m starting to see results 😃 The trainers and the atmosphere from everyone is amazing, I love coming every Tuesday. The trainers are brilliant and a credit to the gym. I have tried various activities, but nothing compares to this gym. I would recommend this for everyone at all ages male an females 🥊❤️

    Top class Boxing Gym. Friendly and experienced staff. Excellent technically skilled coaches and PTs. I started the gym and attended the boxing classes which were great. But then when I started a few personal 1 to 1 sessions I started to see a vast improvement in my boxing skills, weight loss, and muscle gain. A***** Would definitely recommend this gym. Vinny is a great Fitness coach and Antony is a masterful boxing instructor... combined they are really getting me back into tip top shape.

    Top quality boxing gym, joined recently to train for a fight night coming up in December. The staff are all very passionate, experienced and friendly; they're always offering help and advice when needed. Great environment that keeps you motivated to push yourself and give 100%, without it being intimidating to new comers.

  • 5/5 Mohammed H. 6 months ago on Google
    An absolutely amazing gym, top quality training with the best trainers out there. I'm training here for the upcoming Birmingham fight night, and all the trainers push you past your limits, if you give them 100% they give 110% out. I can already feel a massive improvement in myself, 10/10 gym, would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Tausif C. 6 months ago on Google
    I have joined this gym recently to prepare for fight night and already in a short span have I seen my cardio and abilities improve. Really great staff who are extremely good at pushing you far beyond what you thought your limits were. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to get into boxing as the staff are very welcoming and great at teaching.

    Joined this gym recently to train for the Uni of Birmingham fight night in December, and I've loved it so far! The coaches are very passionate about providing the best training possible and care about getting the best performance out of each individual. They push you hard on the fitness sessions and with the technical side they have started from the very basics and progressed at a pace that ensures you understand what you are doing and why you are doing it. Top quality training! A perfect balance of being friendly and helpful, yet still providing discipline

  • 5/5 Jack L. 1 year ago on Google
    I've trained here for about 3 months now, starting with no prior experience and mainly attending group sessions for student fight night. It's a great atmosphere, the trainers encourage you to push yourself and the sessions are always very rewarding. The staff are friendly and are always happy to answer any questions and share their boxing knowledge. I've also attended 1-2-1 sessions in addition to the group sessions. These have helped me focus on my technique and develop my boxing abilities, making me more confident in the ring. I would definitely recommend this gym for anyone looking to start boxing or hone their craft.

    I have been training at D&A for the past few months now and the gym is great, the coach’s are very attentive to your personal needs and the atmosphere in the gym is always upbeat. I would definitely recommend giving them a try if you’re thinking about getting into boxing.

  • 5/5 Carlos R. 6 months ago on Google
    Recently joined this gym to train for a fight. The coaches are great, they know what they’re doing and are very helpful. They are approachable but push you to give 100% every session. Massively enjoyed the boxing classes and can feel myself improving each session. Would 100% recommend to anyone considering a boxing gym, whether you are a beginner or and experienced boxer.

  • 5/5 Kamarun K. 1 year ago on Google
    Ant is fantastic, he is dedicated and goes above and beyond for all of his gym clients. He is a professional with amazing industry knowledge and experience. His gym is fully kitted out and his work with my son boosted his self esteem and confidence. Ant’s reputation precedes him thats why i chose his gym. I would highly recommend DNA boxing gym if you’re an adult, or young person looking to box then this is the gym for you🤩

  • 5/5 Jasper W. 1 year ago on Google
    This gym is excellent. They teach you all you need to know to get started and progress yourself as a boxer. They also break down the fundamentals of respect, discipline and not giving in. They build warriors here. And if you give your all, they will reciprocate it fully. The coaches are very well informed. They are always willing to answer questions and help with your technique. I've been going for a couple of weeks now and am enjoying every session. They build your fitness and resilience incredibly. I would strongly recommend this gym if you have the fortitude to push yourself as much as they want to push you to your potential and beyond. Success isn't easy. But they guide the path clearly

  • 5/5 Caitlin S. 6 months ago on Google
    An amazing gym with the best trainers out there. Get 10/10 treatment every session and get pushed to our limits - I have never felt this fit in such a short period of time!! Everyone is really encouraging and the gym has great facilities, I’d recommend this place to anyone.

  • 5/5 rennae s. 9 months ago on Google
    Started starting training at D&A for a few weeks now doing 121’s with Danny and I’m absolutely loving it!. I was a little nervous when I first started as this was my first time but everyone was very welcoming and friendly. During the time I’ve spent here I’m so shocked with how much I’ve learnt! and the confidence I’ve built. Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Rebecca S. 9 months ago on Google
    My son has been doing 1-2-1’s and attending classes weekly and the support is amazing. Not just from his trainer but every single member of staff at the gym. Can’t recommend D&A enough for anyone of any age or ability

  • 5/5 Raphah R. 9 months ago on Google
    Danny is a good coach. He did organise a good good session yesterday with intense fitness drills. The space is always open in the mornings for free use and independant training. However, I have been enjoying classes on offer due to the friendly and competitive atmosphere, which only accelerates my personal progress. Is a good space.✨️ Definitely better than other boxing gyms where ppl don't pay attention to new people.

  • 5/5 Miranda C. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve trained here for 3 weeks as part of the student fight night and have really enjoyed the experience! The coaches are great and really know their stuff, and I feel like I’ve made good progress already. Can’t wait for the next 5 weeks! Really recommend to anyone looking to get into boxing

  • 5/5 Amber A. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve just finished my first week of training for the Student Fight Night and I’ve had the best experience so far. Having stepped out my comfort zone, the coaches have given great support and are all keen to see us improve. The culture and atmosphere is amazing and I’m seeing progress every session!

  • 5/5 hannah q. 1 year ago on Google
    I have just started training at D&A the last couple of weeks , to increase my fitness and as a woman in a mixed gym i have found it such a comfortable environment to work out in so much help, advice and everyone is so friendly and this makes it such a great environment to work out in. I have taken part in the beginners classes taught by Jag and its helped me make so much progress ! I can always ask for help and he always has such a great attitude and will never not make time! I would recommend this gym for anyone who wants to start, and has been weary of starting because of the male dominance. Great atmosphere! couldn’t recommend the classes by jag and the environment enough!

  • 5/5 Tom W. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic gym. Currently undertaking beginner boxing lessons for Birmingham fight night. The coaches are knowledgeable and patient, and work everyone very hard. They make every session challenging physically and mentally; you always come away having gained something. Top quality - would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Nayz23 1. 1 year ago on Google
    Glad I chose D&A! Since April my three boys have been attending both box boxing classes and weekly 1:1’s. My intention for choosing D&A was for them to build confidence, maintain discipline, promote their mental wellbeing, whilst also encouraging them to develop their boxing skills! The staff are very professional and welcoming! Both Antony and Jag have ensured my boys have received a quality service that is structured, made them feel safe, secure and confident in their learning environment! All three boys have flourished over time and I cannot find a fault with the service provided so far. After several months of trialling the gym I decided to invest in a membership, whilst maintaining the 1:1’s. Highly recommended D&A! More than a school and more of a family/community.

  • 5/5 Nathan B. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been coming here for sessions as part of student fight night for a few weeks now. It's a great atmosphere, the trainers push you to your limits and all the sessions have been very rewarding. I have also had 1-1 sessions along side this, these have been incredibly useful in increasing boxing knowledge, technique and confidence. I would definitely recommend 1-1's at this gym to anyone wanting to progress with their boxing.

  • 5/5 Chloe S. 1 year ago on Google
    Started my boxing journey here a few weeks ago and have nothing but good things to say. Staff are amazing coaches and genuinely nice people. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a boxing school no matter what experience.

  • 5/5 Joshua B. 1 year ago on Google
    Joined this gym for 10 weeks training before a fight. Been pushed to my absolute max and thoroughly enjoying their leadership and coaching. Big shout out to Vinny, Jag, Danny and Danger, all solid coaches. Would definitely recommend, wether your starting off or even experienced, it’s a very good boxing gym.

  • 5/5 Eshan C. 1 year ago on Google
    Currently undertaking fight night training. Would definitely recommend this gym for anything boxing. Most students in the group have never done any training like this, but the trainers are kind and supportive, although they work students hard. 3 weeks in I can already feel a massive difference in my cardiovascular fitness as well as great muscle build up. The sessions are intense but the coaches are well experienced and patient. Cannot fault it, and looking forward to fight night

  • 5/5 Chizara L. 1 year ago on Google
    Have been training here for the past few weeks as part of the student fight night and I can honestly say I have never been pushed so hard. Even as someone with zero prior experience I feel like I’ve learnt so much and gained so much confidence in boxing in just a few weeks. All the coaches are really supportive and want to see you perform the best you can. Would really recommend them to anyone looking to get into boxing.

  • 5/5 Freya C. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing coaches, the 121 sessions have massively helped me to get fit and prepared for my fight in only a few weeks !! Everyone is really friendly and I am really enjoying training here. Definitely recommend for anyone and everyone, whether looking to improve fitness or box for the first time 👍🏻

  • 5/5 Tiggy 2 years ago on Google
    Among one of the best things about this gym is how great the coaches are. They're super knowledgable and professional whilst also being friendly and welcoming. Great facilities and classes too!

  • 5/5 Lottie B. 2 years ago on Google
    The team of coaches here are excellent. Very motivational and push us to our limits. I have learnt so much with them in just a short space of time. Highly recommend for anyone, especially first time boxers like myself!!

  • 5/5 Matthew B. 2 years ago on Google
    Started here for the Birmingham Student fight night. They provide intense but very enjoyable sessions. I've quickly developed technical boxing skills and a good level of fitness for my fight. I couldn't recommend them enough to whoever is looking at joining the club or coming to sessions!

  • 5/5 Natalie T. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been training at DNA over a number of years on and off, I have always return as I never have the same experience any where else, they push me to my full potential eve when I wanted to give me they don’t let me, the encouragement and dedication they offer me is unreal, I feel I have become a part of the DNA family, I enjoy learning to box as well as keeping fit, I feel more confident and comfortable at this gym then I have ever felt in any other gym. Friendly staff that will take the time to help you learn on a individual program on all different levels of fitness to reach your goal! highly recommended.
