Fantastic experience: John Skillen's MAF is an incredible family run gym with an amazingly supportive atmosphere. From the first day I started training with John, his motivation and ambition was clear. John always encourages being the best version of yourself and loves helping others. His positivity is contagious, you will never leave the gym in a bad mood. I have been training for just over a year with John and have loved every minute. I went from being a skinny teen with little confidence to where I am today. I would recommend JSMAF to anyone who is looking to make a positive change in their life, there's classes on every day and one of them is bound to be for you. Thank you John for training me, and for always encouraging me to improve!
