    My 5yr old son and I started training here in August 2019, and we love it, can't get enough of the place. It's helped my son in so many ways, his focus and concentration levels have improved along with his overall confidence. The fact that he enjoys it so much is due to the well thought out class structure and the friendly professional coaches which make the whole place buzz with a positive friendly atmosphere. A few months later my wife joined and enjoys the weekly yoga classes. It really is a great family friendly place to stay active and keep fit, whatever your fitness goals are I would highly recommend Kraken. There's even a café on site and a sauna, really couldn't ask for more!

    Really great place to train & get fit, but with varied, ever changing and interesting workout programs, it really beats the bog standard traditional gyms and running on a treadmill for hours. At Kracken you get friendly, knowledgeable coaches delivering HIIT programs, combined with MMA type combinations. The varied workouts push you to your limits and the instructors are encouraging and friendly but push you to work hard and achieve results and personal goals. Great value for money and accessible location, coupled with a nice cafe area to chill out. I have been attending for around 4 months and have gained a new confidence from training here. Classes I attend have persons of varying ages, sizes and abilities. Highly recommended.

    I joined this gym 8 weeks ago and I can honestly say this is the best gym I have ever been to. The coaches are amazing they encourage you and support you and really are interested in you succeeding in your goal. The people that also go to Kraken are friendly and supportive. I have never felt so comfortable as I do at Kraken. I did a 6 week challenge and it was such fun. We laugh together and encourage each other when it feels tough. I also take my grandson to the kids MMA and he loves it again the coaches are so good with the kids and they have fun. It has such a great atmosphere. This gym is simply the best

    Awesome, friendly and professional club. Top class instruction, no egos, safe and a variety of classes for all levels. From beginners to professional fighters this place supports the lot. My whole family comes here; it’s a great way to stay healthy together, learn new skills and develop the kids. Great coffee too.

    The first thing you will be greeted with upon entering Kraken MMA & Fitness is a smile from a member of staff. The welcome is very warm and you immediately feel at ease. My 6 year old son & I have both attended classes and have become members. As a parent I naturally want the best for my son. I believe with the level of experience the coaches have at Kraken MMA, my son will be on the right path to reaching his full potential in the MMA & Fitness world. If you are looking for a clean, family friendly environment to train in, Kraken MMA & Fitness is most definitely the place for you. 5🌟

    I’ve been going to Kraken for 2 years now - from the moment I walked in, I was welcomed and encouraged by all of the coaches. I was a total beginner having never been to a gym before, but I have always been made to feel able while being encouraged to push myself. The classes are cleverly tailored to suit all abilities and are incredibly varied so the sessions never get boring! The coaches are really friendly and brilliant teachers which is what makes it such an enjoyable place to be. The facilities and equipment are excellent and always cleaned to the highest standard. Kraken also has a cafe, servings snacks and hot drinks, along with a sauna upstairs. I can honestly say this is now like a second home to me. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to get fit and learn new skills.

    Awesome gym with fantastic people. I've been going to Kraken since beginning of July and the team were so welcoming. I had never tried any martial arts before and it was out of my comfort zone but the encouragement and support I've been given has been amazing. I look forward to classes and I've met some lovely people, both staff and members. Highly recommended.

    Where on earth is my beer belly?!?! What kind of place do you call this? I didn’t even plan to join a/this gym and look what’s happened to me now! My son did two trial sessions, enjoyed it, then fully joined a week before the first lockdown. I continued to pay as no one wants to see a local independent business go under, so when the gyms reopened at the end of July he decided that he didn’t want to go…Roblox took over his life! As I was paying for it I thought why not give it a try? I thought that I was fairly fit as I played football 5 times a week, obviously having a few beers after in the clubhouse was mandatory too, boy was I wrong. What happened next is unbelievable… So from July 2020 I went to a fighting fit class on a Tuesday, I thought that I was fit remember, and didn’t stop aching in places that I never knew existed for nearly two weeks. Then I started to go twice a week, OK, still aching after each session but able to walk semi normally. The addiction was slowly kicking in and in the end I go five to six times a week. Then it happened! My trusty little friend, let’s call him beer belly, slowly started to leave me. I have had him for over 40 years, we were inseparable. I used to ask the coaches if they had seen him, none of them helped me to reunite us again. Instead, they all used to smile, talk to me, give me advice on actually how to LOSE him…what the hell!?! These guys gave me 1:1’s, wrote up training plans for me, gave me advice and tips on how to NEVER find beer belly ever again. This is not what I expect from a gym! Surely you go for the nice coffee, the beautiful white teethed people in the brochure, the spa and to do selfie’s in the changing room mirror? Now what has happened is that I am addicted to going, if I don’t go one day then I feel that I have missed out on some fun, not exercise. I have made many friends there, the guys and gals do actually talk to you and help, there is a strong sense of camaraderie that draws you back each day. This is not what I signed up for! I was 86kg when I first joined, now I am 71kg. I was aiming for 80kg, then 75, now 70kg, the bar just keeps getting set higher and higher as I have now become fitter that I have ever been, at age 43, and I can now see these 6 little muscles in my abdomen popping out…beer belly would not be happy! Guys, if you are thinking of joining then try it, it’s not full of meat heads. There are classes for Kids, OAP’s, teenagers, middle age spread blokes and mum’s and we all mix together to make one big ‘Kraken’ family! See you there, don’t take my bag in the corner LOL!!!

    Kraken offers great service of sport classes. If you are into MMA or fighting or even yoga, different ones are offered. The gym staff is friendly, professional and very cool people :) The classes make you fit for sure! Can only recommend to try a class and get a nice cup of coffee afterwards ☕

    Joined Kraken with my children in Dec 2018 and we love it! Boys have learned so much from the MMA classes and I've really enjoyed getting fit in the adult Fighting Fit classes. Coaches are professional, friendly and supportive - it's s really welcoming, inclusive place to train.

    Great place to learn martial arts, whether its for leisure, fitness, self defense or competition purposes. Great facilities, skilled and knowledgeable coaches with proven track records and a welcoming atmosphere. I've spent many hours on the mats at Kraken and have enjoyed every minute. Recommended for both beginners and the more experienced.

    The coaches at kraken they are amazing,friendly encouraging hard working and commited, to both adult & kids classes. I have fun when i go to the fighting fit class and my grandson loves going to the MMA & BJJ. The gym is clean and the coaches go above and beyond to keep us safe.

    The trainers are all wonderful and friendly, which helps my daughter to feel comfortable during her class. She always enjoys her sessions and her confidence has grown! All their equipment is professional and they've done an amazing job with the café downstairs. Really great!

    I can’t praise this gym highly enough. My 8 year old son started a couple of months ago having not done anything like this before. All the staff are very welcoming and extremely professional and my son loves the sessions (he actually asked if he could practise his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instead of playing on the Xbox before he went to bed tonight… that says something). Highly recommended.
