    I could not praise Herb and the team at Armour Training Academy enough. Great coaches, great atmosphere and lots of fun. The coaches are fantastic and each session is a hell of a workout! When I first contacted Herb about starting up with the gym he was fantastic and super helpful. He took into account my personal circumstances and pointed me in the right direction to get started. I have not looked back since I started and the sessions at Armour have quickly become the highlight of my week. Attending these sessions have done wonders for my fitness, confidence and my mental health. I started boxing with Armour Academy having never thrown a punch in my life and seeing the progress I have made is crazy! If you are thinking about joining, do it. You won’t regret it.

    I have been training in the Academy now for almost 3 months and I had a great experience there. The coaches are happy to help whenever you are stuck or just need something explained again. Their sessions are intense and covers a good warm-up, stretching, techniques and sparring. The manager is very helpful, I had a little problem with something and the manager made it his own responsibility to help me out. He is happy to listen and help to find a solution.

    Amour Boxing Club is a good place to learn self-defense skills and is professional. It's important to find a gym that values safety and proper technique, especially when it comes to teaching children. In addition to self-defense, boxing can also help improve your endurance, coordination, and overall fitness level. At Amour Boxing Club, you can expect to find experienced trainers who can help you and your kids improve your skills and reach your fitness goals. With a supportive community of members, you'll also have the opportunity to make new friends and stay motivated. Overall, Amour Boxing Club sounds like a great place to get fit, learn new skills, and have fun!

    Great place, really welcoming atmosphere, great ring to train in. I've trained with plenty of gyms, some that just want your money, some that have some questionable practices and don't take care of new members by putting them straight in the deep end. Herb has it exactly right, what you want you will find with armour academy. I appreciate he always checks in when I haven't been in for a week or so due to work committments just to let me know about an upcoming class. You feel like a valued member of a gym here not just a means to an end cash cow or sparring fodder. Go armour academy 😁🥊

    Incredible atmosphere, it's the perfect environment for growth and developing your skills whether you are a beginner or not. The coaches allow you to learn at your own pace whilst simultaneously pushing you out of your comfort zone. They are extremely passionate about what they teach and it shines through in their classes.

    My son, 14, has been attending Mixed Martial Arts at Armour Academy for several weeks now and is loving the classes here! He is learning new skills, discipline and keeping fit. He enjoys training alongside a variety of different age groups and likes his coach very much. I would recommend these classes.

  • 5/5 SL Y. 2 years ago on Google
    I do two classes a week here- Boxing and MMA. I absolutely love it! Both of my trainers are very skilled and very patient and motivating to all of us in the class and we range from beginners to advanced! I always look forward to attending my classes and I always leave feeling more fit and more skilled than the previous week. Herb, the owner is amazing also and very approachable, which is huge to me because he’s the first person that you speak to when you join and had he not had such amazing customer service and communication, I simply would not have even joined! I’m glad I did and I highly recommend Armour Academy! Fun and money well spent!

    I highly recommend ARMOUR ACADEMY to anyone who is thinking of learning a martial art. The standard of teaching is exceptional. The instructors are very caring and very enthusiastic individuals always put the time and effort into making sure that everybody feels confident doing what they are being taught. My son (11y) is exited every single day when he goes to classes and loves the sessions. He gets on well with the instructors but is very attentive and disciplined in class, which is a joy to see. He enthusiastically shows me his moves after each class, and has great confidence when talking me through them. The price is very reasonable, and you have complete transparency from the instructors on the lesson content which is great. This place will get you great fit and more confident of himself.

    I’ve been attending Boxing at Armour Academy for the last 4 months. I absolutely love going and training there, I actually look forward to going, unlike the normal gym. Matt is an excellent coach and Herb is so friendly that it makes it so easy to go as a solo female. Sometimes I’m the only woman in the class, which I don’t even mind as all the guys there are respectful. I’ve lost so much weight since training there and just feel overall better, healthier, stronger and fitter. If you’re a woman and thinking of signing up to Armour, then go for it!

    Armour academy has been a great start of an amazing fitness journey. Having started with no boxing experience, I have recently had my first boxing fight which has been a life changing event. The coaching and facility is brilliant and I would high recommend this boxing gym! Lastly, The owner is one of the most supportive, chilled out and honest man I have met!

    I must say amazing ! If you our ever in need to improve your fitness and learn to fight come do a MMA session with Misheal, I go gym and play football and cycle but the conditions you get from Mishael leave my shirt soaking wet no comparion to gym or a footy sesh! It's a must try. MMA is Tuesday 6:00pm

    Amazing place with a choice of MMA or Boxing. Moderate sparring fit for my level. Harder sparing for those at the higher level. Friendly atmosphere. Clean and pleasant gym.

    My son started Boxing at Armour Academy around 4 months ago. He really enjoys it and looks forward to every session. He has made good progress in this time. He likes the fact that the coaching is done in small groups. He likes the friendly, welcoming atmosphere and the convenient times of the classes. The place is well run. Classes are a decent price and the instructors are top notch. Recommended.

    My son attends Armour Academy for both boxing and kick boxing lessons. After having been somewhere else previously, this place really does tick all the boxes. The lessons are very structured and disciplined, the coaches are professional, organised and always happy to speak to you. The environment is very clean, friendly, child and adult friendly of all ages, well organised and well equipped. Communication is amazing from the management, he really goes out of his way to help and make sure you and your child are happy. Highly recommend Armour Academy !

    Amazing boxing Gym! I work for a supported living provider based in Harrow and we have frequently attended sessions at the Armour Academy. The owner Herb is very accommodating and the coaches are all very competent and make sessions fun/engaging! Would recommend anyone in the area who is looking to keep fit or learn how to defends themselves to give it a go.

    Family friendly club that is always running. The team look out for the children. It has become very popular and therefore busy, especially for older kids but it's great for the younger kids too. There is a good gender mix. Its covers all age groups, age 5 upwards and i understand they have a ladies only boxing session too.

    I’ve been going to armour academy for months now, and I loved it.Lovely staff, teach you well, drill you well. I highly recommend armour academy to anyone looking to join a boxing club, the get you started well, and progressively build you up to be the best you can be. Arfter I joined I felt; more confident, stronger, gained a lot of friends and found my true self. I went to many boxing clubs before armour academy, and this was undoubtedly the best there, I love the gym and the staff give you the personal assistance you need.

  • 5/5 Harriet Q. 1 year ago on Google
    Really kind environment to train in whether you’re starting out boxing, going to improve fitness or at a higher level. Everyone is very welcoming and the trainers are motivating and helpful. I was initially anxious to attend the first session as I was aware boxing is a male dominated sport however I was made to feel welcome by everyone and quickly forgot how intimidated and nervous I initially felt. Would highly recommend.

    This academy is loved by our son! Since he has joined the level of energy and enthusiasm has grown. We initially had our son go to another location in Harrow, however the results were not what we were looking for. We continued to search and came across Armour Academy I must say I am delighted with the attention to detail and focus given to each child. Great place if you are looking to develop your child positively.

    Our son has been going to Armour Academy for 5 months now. We have watched his confidence grow and his level of fitness has greatly improved. The staff are very professional and ensure discipline is maintained at all times. I have to say we are very impressed with Herb in the way he interacts with the young people and seems genuinely interested in their welfare. That observation definitely ticked all the boxes for us as parents.

    We receive fantastic customer service every time we go to our class and if we have an enquiry. If we want to ask our teacher a question, she readily replies with positive advice. Armour Academy's website is also quite informative. The classes are defined with clear descriptions, timings and pricing. The trainers; Nadine and Harj are very good at communicating the class content, which is a very helpful reminder. Thank you to Herb as well, who is never too busy to talk and give his best advise. Cheers Armour Academy- thank you.

    Having only just started the weekly MMA classes on a Tuesday night gives you that full body fix you need to set you up for the week! The instructor led classes are absolutely great, starting off with a warm up session followed by some boxing and kicking manoeuvres hits parts of your body that you've never worked out before! And I truly do feel it the next few days with the aches and pains; but hey no pain no gain! Thank you so much for creating classes that not only are engaging but also very fun to participate in!

    Great gym! I have 1:1 boxing sessions with Ben and they are excellent. I’ve been at a few gyms around Harrow and Wembley and these session are the best. Great technical sessions and I can see myself improving all the time. Would definitely recommend
