Bennetts boxing gym: Opinions

Manju K. Boo 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: One of the best coaches I've had so far! Stuart is professional, attentive and makes each session unforgettable. He brought me in less than few weeks closer to my body goals and I got my confidence back too. Further the gym is well equipped and the other members are nice. This is the place to go to, if you're after self-development.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with great vibe, great people! I always enjoy a massage on the chair or an infrared sauna in winter to relax after training session. I have been training with Stuart for 5 months, not only my lower back issue got resolved, there are visible muscles on my arms

Fantastic experience: Stuart is a lovely guy and a great trainer with lots of knowledge. He really helped get me up to speed and improve skills in a matter of weeks. Other members are friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. It’s got the charms of an old school boxing gym. No pretense, just good hard work. Thanks Stu!

Fantastic experience: This gym is a local treasure, friendly people and everything you need for a solid workout to suit your needs. I’ve trained here for several years and always feel comfortable walking in the door. It’s a relaxed atmosphere and no judgement to where you’re at physically or technically. Stuart has a lot of knowledge, a great sense of humour and puts you at ease whilst rapidly getting you in shape. I’ve trained at other gyms, the difference here is the personal approach by Stuart who’s keen to see everyone improve and hit their personal goals. Check out his Instagram for a great video showing you the heart and soul of this real gym for real people.

Fantastic experience: The passion, professionalism and genuine care was evident as soon as I stepped in the gym. This generational gym is the real deal. I will never go to a plastic gym again. I’ve had trainers but until now I didn’t know how far removed I was in obtaining my goal. I am heavy set, this was a big green light. The culture is amazing, the genuine dedication to identifying what needs to happen (no pressure) as far as muscle grouping - understanding why, when and how - helped my knowledge to no end. I will take this forward with my journey. Genuine, caring, skilled practitioners- that helps you , and help nudge in the positive way. Can’t recommend highly enough
