I joined Fighting Fit two years ago having never done martial arts. They were so welcoming and supportive that I can't imagine training anywhere else. All of the coaches are incredibly skilled and so encouraging. I would recommend it to anyone. It's not just a gym, it's a community where everyone works to improve themselves and each other.

Joined after lockdown on a week's free trial and signed up to a full membership immediately. From the moment I walked in to walking out, I felt like the staff and coaches looked out for me and wanted me to enjoy it. It's not easy walking into any new gym, especially a fighting one, but these have got the experience nailed. Classes are great, everyone's friendly and there's no egos. You're gonna learn new skills, get fit and confident. Can't wait to shift my work rota to get into even more classes and there's a whole load on offer for whatever you want. Don't wait! Sign up!

I’ve been a member of the fanciest gyms in town and this gym outshines them all. It isn’t fancy by any stretch of the imagination, but the atmosphere, coaching and programmes are second to none. For me, the most important thing is the people. This gym has top quality coaching, and the best workouts and martial arts programs you could hope for. The gym staff and owners know everyone by name; You don’t get that at Bannatynes! And the other members are brilliantly odd mix of random lovelies, who are down to earth and who will have your back when you need it. Together it creates an environment that other gyms can only dream of. I would say if you’re a knob, mirror-kisser this isn’t the gym for you. But if you’re a good person looking for a top class workout, or you want to try martial arts in a safe but lovely environment, get down to fighting fit. That’s where the cool, and not so cool kids, hang out together.

Hi, I’ve trialled martial arts in the past for awhile with mixed results before coming here. This gym has been amazing, I’ve always come away from each season feeling like I’ve gotten great quality instruction. The gym is spacious and has loads of mat room as well as a good weights/calisthenics section. Finally, it’s a really friendly gym from the staff to the other members, it’s a great place to train.

I don't know if this will describe my full experience, basically it's the best gym ever I went in my life to do BJJ, the people are so friendly all of them, very very lovely atmosphere, going for the BJJ class is like a mental therapy, been to other BJJ gyms but this one is my favourite. Very very very amazing gym.

Had to cancel due to not having enough time with work but highly recommend this club! Steph is the man, if you can get to one of his Mon/Wed classes do it!

Either you are beginner or experienced player this gym will suits your goals. I am amazed recently how quick coaches adapted to new pandemic rules and have designed programs which help all students to progress and still remain safe. Strongly recommended!

Absolutely amazing gym, the members are fantastic and it's in a great city centre location with plenty of transport links and parking. More importantly the level of coaching is particularly high across all the Martial Arts and especially the Brazilian Jiujitsu. Great place to learn and develop your skills I can't recommend this gym enough.

Been training here for around 3 years and I love it. Had a bit of a bad experience at a previous gym and thankfully the coaches at fighting fit reignited that fire. Love this gym and the people in it! Made so many awesome friends here and on top of all that...the training is top notch! World champs in numerous fields and some awesome training partners to go with it. Fighting Fit is absolutely my second home.

Very welcoming and lovely team. High standards of cleanliness, lots of equipment for a variety of martial arts as well as weights and functional training. Superb range of classes. Loving the capoeira class!

Never been to a martial arts gym before? come here, the coaches and patrons are welcoming, supportive, dedicated and will accommodate you whatever your ability. Be careful though, you'll come to do 1 activity and end up doing 3 or 4 :) Already train? come here, for the reasons above plus coaches who are black belts, olympians, european champions, national champions and great people :)

Best gym in Manchester :) I do strength and conditioning classes here and have been going here for over 6 years. Its the friendliest gym and is very welcoming to new people and there is a true sense of community within the gym that makes working out there a sociable experience.

Great gym and coaching. Really feel as if I have improved in both my fitness and abilities since joining. Wish there was more boxing equipment and space to practise boxing specifically as its quite limited in regards to bags and cardio related equipment but the coaching and community is great, friendly and encourages you to get better.
