Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant gym - friendly environment, brilliant for beginners, and most of all amazing coaches. Honestly cannot recommended enough.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to train, Dean pushes you to achieve the best you can. Everyone there is kind and extremely welcoming. Would recommend this gym to anyone of any level.

Positive experience: Been going here for around a year (if you add up all the time together). Excellent class for beginners. For only £15 a week you can attend 3 classes a week, lasting 1 hour working on a combination of drills and sparring (boxing only, no kicks). Dean is an excellent coach and has good banter. He is very strict and particular on certain things which I appreciate, helps with discipline. Now as someone who has done Muay Thai in different countries over a 3 year period, I stopped going to DW gym. The truth is, I have a job that sometimes requires over time last minute and also I have some issues with the way DW gym runs. My issues with DW gym (as someone who is NOT beginner anymore) are the following: - Noticed that sessions are 90% of the time the same but a slight variation. Excellent for beginners but for intermediate people, it starts to become too repetitive. - You have to text Dean to book in advance your sessions (1 week advance) and if you have a slight change of plan last minute (like my work situation for example), you will get a dig/slight reaction from Dean. Didn’t bother me at first but baring in mind I went regularly and would only miss it for a valid reason, felt like I was being told off for something that I cannot help. Just keep this in mind if you’re starting out here. I’m a bloke with a Mrs and kids, I understand it’s for estimating numbers but you can’t blame someone if they’re busy, it’s a weekday evening, anything can happen. - I didn’t like being paired with beginners every week. When I was a beginner, I absolutely did not mind. However, you want to pair with someone a bit more challenging if you’re not a beginner anymore and to constantly be paired with newbies was starting to annoy me. It slowed down my progress and also made me feel like I’m wasting my money. Nothing against the newbies, but when you pair with them, you become their teacher that session and you don’t actually advance much yourself. - As a South Asian, (I don’t mean to throw DW under the bus because I’m 100% certain it’s not intentional so I apologise if it comes across that way), I found out that every session was so predictable on who the coach was going to pair me with. I just knew he’ll look for another Asian lad. I know a couple of Asian lads who go here too and they say the same thing happens to them. He seems to pair Asians with Asians a lot and whites with whites. Doesn’t do it every time and not saying he does it intentionally, but it happens often enough that if he didn’t realise it, I’m writing this so he does. I hope he takes this into consideration for his future classes. The class itself is very inclusive but I always dread that bit where you realise who he’s paired you with because my underlying suspicions was right. - Final criticism is sparring. For a Muay Thai class to not do kicking during sparring is absurd to me. For beginners I get it, kicks can be too much. But for guys who are not beginners, you can’t just keep Friday class for kick sparring. If members are paying, you should give them an opportunity to practice their kicks on others during the other sessions too. Only fist-boxing is just an anti-climax for Muay Thai guys. Kicking is an art and you need to practice it even if you’re beginner. Buy some leg pads for your students and let them practice kicks during the Mon-Thurs sessions, not just Fridays! Because we all know that Fridays are reserved for his competitive fighters. Personally I don’t want to compete but I want to train the art of Muay Thai, kicking is part of it. Only bags/pads won’t help with kicks, you need limbs to kick too. I hope this gives a good insight into Dean Whites gym. I did enjoy my time there overall, shame it had to end the way it did but I wish nothing but the best for Dean and co. Just an honest member who paid his money, done his classes and is writing his honest thoughts. Hope it helps!

He's good at what he does and has an army of respectable,fit and healthy members it's a lovely place to be and gives results as I'm already getting back into my smaller clothes

Fantastic experience: Started attending Deans gym at the age of forty and its the best thing I've ever done, should have done it years ago! Training is top class and the atmosphere in the gym is great!

Fantastic experience: I attended Dean Whites gym as a kid and now 15 years later now age 31. I have recently been back for the past two months now three times a week. And I can say hand on heart that it is the best gym I have been to. Dean and Dale are highly experienced experts in the field of Muay Thai. There is a no nonsense professional approach and plenty of cocmoradery, everyone is welcoming and everyone supports each other to get the best out of one another. The respected coaches make it fun and interactive and ensure that you are bringing your best self. Members are from different age groups, fitness levels and backgrounds and there is certainly a sense of community, this is testament to Dean and his son Dale: world class at what they do. Brilliant: people, atmosphere, environment, martial art. I could go on. However if you want to know more then take the first step and give it a try. Leon

Fantastic experience: Started with the ladies class and now i attend the mixed classes. I felt nervous to attend the mixed classes but when i arrived it was welcoming and i felt part of the group! The mixed classes are great for fitness and it is really helping me improve my technique!

Fantastic experience: Amazing training facility. Great gym with great trainers and people. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience right from the start. Can not praise the set up more highly. Amazing.

Fantastic experience: L P Chewius i see on all your reports all negative hotels bars shops etc etc etc !!! You spoke like you was doing me a big favour coming to my gym & i didnt wont ur custom ;) I have prawns like you week in week out !!! & if you notice only yours is negative feed back !!! Its you NOT Dean Whites gym lol

Fantastic experience: Probably one of the best Muay Thai gyms in the UK. Dean and Dale have both coached and fought at the highest level travelling back and forth to Thailand over the last 30 years to hone their skills and knowledge of the art. Whether you are a beginner, hobbyist or fighter the coaches will treat you like family and make sure you become the best version of yourself, get you fit , have fun whilst learning the awesome art of thai boxing.

Fantastic experience: Quality place. All nice lads, helped me learn new things and stuck by when I struggled Top class place and guys

Fantastic experience: Great place, great people highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Been training here for years, always loved going. Such a good environment to be in and let loose a bit or energy.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to go, very friendly I always have a good laugh and work out

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Deano’s gym on and off now for over a year or so and now pushing myself to get there a lot more. At my age and fitness when I started I was sceptical as I thought it would be a gym full of guys who have done it for years who would just want to take the pxxs out of me. I soon found it was full of guys who are really good and also guys like myself who are there more for the fitness side, Also the amount of help people give is great - Dean likes to push people to there best ability whilst making it fun at the same time. I’m loving it and having fun so I would advise anyone who thinks it isn’t for them to give it a try but also the guys who want to take it serious and learn this is the place to do it. Anthony

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this gym, Dean is a great coach and a top bloke. Good enviroment Good gym. 5 star all the way!

Pushes you when needed and also rests you when needed Train hard for confidence or just train hard the weight falls off Not seen a class that isn’t happy yet even when lads are in fight camp the place is buzzing Come down your won’t be disappointed

Fantastic experience: I have been training at the gym for approx two months now and it is incredible! The coaching is second to none, catering from beginners to fighters of all levels. Deano and Dale are both great guys, who have welcomed me back after a 10 year hiatus. Demanding, exciting and rewarding...I wouldnt train anywhere else!!!

Fantastic experience: I have trained with Dean, Dale and the team for almost 4 years now and could not ask for a better set up. Dean and the team prepare you every step of the way towards your own personal goals with fantastic support from the others who train at the gym. If you've ever wanted to learn how to defend yourself or just get fit with a great bunch of people then what are you waiting for?

Fantastic experience: Excellent Thai Boxing gym. I've trained with Dean for years and so have my children. Quality training from trainers with a track record of producing champions. Also, great for those that just want to keep fit in a relaxed and friendly environment. Classes for adults, Children and Women only.

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms in the country. Produced many great fighters and champions over the years. Great place to train. Friendly atmosphere and good laugh. Caters for beginners, intermediates or for people who just need to get off the couch. One of the remaining few legit gyms out there. I've trained for over 20years. Plenty of fakes about. Real deal. Cant recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great workout, great atmosphere. Was a bit worried about going at first as I'm not particularly in shape and don't have much martial arts experience so I didn't know if I'd fit in, Dean made me feel right at home. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! I started 4 weeks ago and everybody was really welcoming. As I am new to the sport I everybody was so kind and helpful, great people! I love training here, I learn so much from the outstanding world class coaching, and my cardio has improved so much since I started. I would fully 100 percent recommend this to anybody and everybody. I look forward to every training session. Feeling the endorphins. Definitely the best around!

Fantastic experience: I have trained with Dean and Dale for many years. Starting in 1999 and recently returned in 2017. The gym is well established with years of experience. I have achieved things I never thought possible purely because of coming here. It’s the best workout, really friendly and an absolutely brilliant laugh!! If you’re thinking of giving Muay Thai a try, want a workout at whatever level you are, this is definitely the best place around, in my opinion

Fantastic experience: Been training at this gym alot of years and highly recommend whether your wanting to train for fitness or to compete like I have a gym that caters for all

Negative experience: Called up to enquire about classes, interested in MMA as advertised on website only to be very rudely told that they don't do it anymore and hung up on. Was also interested in Thai boxing but obviously didn't get a chance to enquire about this so will take my interests and my money elsewhere where I won't be treated like a bit of dog muck.
