Sweat Box Gym: Opinions

Fantastic experience: Super salle. À recommander. Bravo !
Fantastic experience: Wonderful facilities, lots of sections, they have a sauna, a sweat box outdoor yard, a few sparring rings, a training area for boxing MMA, bjj, and other martial arts. As well as a callisthenics bars section and gym machines. Amazing teachers, really recommend going to the calli classes here with Tuggy or Sheldon! Have to thank this team for getting me to where I am today.
Fantastic experience: Best gym I've ever been to - great facilities, really nice community feel, super welcoming and inclusive, somehow just fun.
Fantastic experience: Sweatbox has been the highlight of my move to Bristol! Joined six months ago and love attending CrossFit sessions, the instructors are great, the classes are varied and the community feel is awesome. It’s got an amazing indoor outdoor set up too which is lovely for sunny days. The actual main Sweatbox gym is also great too, it’s massive and has every bit of equipment you could possibly need! Finally the martial arts bit is amazing too, the women only classes are so good. The staff are all lovely and it’s by far the best gym I’ve ever been too.
Thank you for the kind review Ella! It is really appreciated. So glad you are enjoying the gym so much, we love to hear it :)
Fantastic experience: great variety sports: martial arts (muay thai, bjj, boxing), callisthenics and crossfit. nice gym too with plenty of machines. area for martial arts with boxing sacks and a little sparring place. there is a sauna for £5, slightly more expensive if you are not a member. teachers are nice, there’s an outside area for crossfit. there are classes for just women in calli and fight club. as a woman i’ve really appreciated this, specially as a beginner
Hi Nef, thanks for the great review, it means a lot for an independent gym!
Fantastic experience: It's an awesome gym, I am not sure how they have done it but no matter how full it gets I can still get my routine done without having to wait for a machine or weights. I like the friendly staff, the people who go, and the facilities that are offered.
Fantastic experience: Great place, excellent instructors and classes highly recommended for beginners to advanced A++++
Fantastic experience: Great space for many different styles of training. Good range of equipment and plenty of weights which have recently been updated. Crossfit classes are well programmed and enjoyable with a good community too.
Fantastic experience: Really like the gym.
Fantastic experience: Too many good things to say about this place
Fantastic experience: the best in Bristol, 100%
Fantastic experience: I was looking for a place like this for a long time. If you join Sweatbox gym you will be able to try martial arts, fitness classes or use gym/gym equipment all under one roof. I have advice for newcomers. I'm a person who is very sensitive to environment and it takes time for me to adjust and feel comfortable especially in the environment like this. I advice you to go to BJJ beginners on tue and thur or to talk to John (with whom you can have 121 - totally worth it!). It will be a nice way to meet people and acclimatize. Owners make sure that at Sweatbox there is no place for toxic/aggressive behaviour/big egos etc. Overall great place, lovely coaches and nice vibe!
Fantastic experience: In Bristol for work and was looking for a Crossfit gym I could go to for a drop in class. Sam is a brilliant coach and he helped improve my rope climb attempts more in the 15 minutes I spent with him than 4 years of crossfit in other gyms he's really friendly and chatty and was great at motivating everyone in the class. Remember to bring something warm to wear for the warm up if you feel the cold as the crossfit is done round the back of the gym in a sort of big garage lol will definitely be back here when in Bristol.
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, joined 3 weeks ago and so far it's been a great experience. I joined a couple of classes and enjoyed a lot, the atmosphere at the gym is great and everyone is willing to help each other.
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym and atmosphere with decent prices.
Negative experience: Very, very young crowd here, loud music, definitely not for everyone
Fantastic experience: Favourite gym I've ever trained in. Well maintained, everyone who goes there is really friendly, staff are knowledgeable and supportive. People training for a whole range of purposes - acrobatics, calisthenics, jiu jitsu, boxing, MMA, handstands - so no agro meatheads to be found. Have recommended to so many friends!
Thank you Pete for the kind review, we do try hard to make it a friendly, safe space for people to train in
Fantastic experience: great place grate people

Fantastic experience: SweatBox’s the best! Really friendly and good vibe in general. Great for martial arts
Fantastic experience: Best gym I ever trained at ! They have really good coaches who are just incredible . Doesn’t matter if you’re just stating your fitness / martial arts training or you’re already a pro athlete, they will welcome you , teach and help you grow the best they can . SweatBox is also kid friendly and have their own cafe at the back of the gym . Best place . They have mma , boxing , Brazilian jiu jitsu , Muay Thai , callisthenics , CrossFit, Olympic weightlifting and loads of personal trainers . Also there is a yoga studio and sports massage therapist. Everything in one place . I love it .

Fantastic experience: Superb new gym with very helpful , patient staff who have been super every time I’ve attended the gym
Fantastic experience: Great gym, fantastic facilities and top level coaching
Fantastic experience: Sweatbox is an amazing gym, friendly staff who are passionate about what they do and amazing fitness facilities. In terms of martial arts, opinions can be biased but with 10+ Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belts, active experienced professional fighters in Bjj, MMA, Thai Boxing and western Boxing you can't go wrong. The best bit of it all is that whether it's your first class or you're a professional athlete, everyone's treated with the same level of respect.
Fantastic experience: I went down to SweatBox as it’s local to my house and wanted somewhere to train for fitness and keep my boxing skills ticking over. The facilities in the new gym are certainly the best in Bristol, and for the weeks where I don’t feel enthusiastic about boxing training there’s Calisthenics/fitness/BJJ and a good weights section.
Fantastic experience: This gym and its staff are second to none. The quality and knowledge are not of your average gym but also very accessable to users that are starting their gym or martial arts journey. Iv read FAKE bad reveiws but if your interested in trying the gym go and check it out for yourself im sure you wont be dissapointed.
Fantastic experience: I have been part of the sweatbox 'family' for 4 years. Every time i walk in its like returning home. A supportive yet stretching environment to find and push your limits whether you're a fighter or want to get in shape. Brilliant coaches that are second to none. Can't recommend more.
Fantastic experience: Great Gym loved the equipment and the staff very friendly, a must go again for sure
Fantastic experience: I love this gym, it’s simply amazing, loads of equipment and really friendly and nice staff. I feel super comfortable training there, there are always competent coaches around to help me out.
Fantastic experience: Amazing coaching from coaches with years of experience in their respective martial arts, with state of the art facilities suitable for all fitness goals. Hands down best in Bristol
Fantastic experience: The facilities here are amazing. I train BJJ here and the level of training is incredibly high. I think be it for grappling, MMA, striking or just fitness this place offers loads.
Fantastic experience: Amazing Gym! The equipment is fantastic and the staff is super friendly and makes everyone feel very, very welcome. For me this gym is the perfect hybrid between CrossFit and MMA. I have trained at many places in Bristol before and SweatBox offers hands down the best of everything (it is even heated). And just in case you need another reason: they also do bang on coffee ;)
Fantastic experience: A quality gym with experienced and knowledgeable staff in a range of disciplines. There are plenty of classes to suit everyone's needs and a wide range of equipment, people and personalities. It can seem daunting at first but this really is a place where everyone can find something that works for them and I consider the gym my second home.
Fantastic experience: The best gym! Best jiu-jitsu school in Bristol. Amazing Muay Thai classes! Very experienced boxing coaches. Atmsphere of equality and respect. Everyone is welcome. No question unanswered. The staff takes care of every single person. Great introduction to the gym for new people. I love this place!
Fantastic experience: I came to sweatbox a long time ago to try boxing and really grew to love the gym. The gym is friendly and welcoming, with some excellent teachers and classes. I would highly recommend the gym to anyone who wants to challenge themselves, and improve their all round fitness.
Fantastic experience: By far the best gym you can find in Bristol! Everything is made to make you feel comfortable and suit your training needs, from the top quality equipment to the lovely personnel, the healthy food available onsite and also the very qualified PTs that will help you achieve your goals. It is highly recommended for people of all ages and levels.
Fantastic experience: My workouts here were the highlights of my day. The trainers quickly became friends as they kept their workouts varied and daunting. The combination of strength and calisthenics classes gave me an all around functional strength I haven't had in years. I have been to many gyms in my life, but this one was my favorite, bar none.
Fantastic experience: After many years away from the gym I decided to return sweatbox, older and out of shape. It’s helped me with my goals of getting fitter, losing weight and meeting some new cool people. The gym itself is a fantastic multipurpose facility, that caters for A broad spectrum of people from young children to world-class professional athletes, the staff are friendly and helpful , they are happy share there experiences in order for you to meet your goals, whether that be general fitness or competing in your chosen sport . There is a vast selection of classes to cater for all your needs. There is a nice reception area where you can have fresh coffee and chat . I thoroughly recommend sweatbox . I love the Brazilian juijitsu taught by world class Pedro Bessa.
Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities and an amazing feel to the place, I train almost 100% Jiujitsu sharing the huge mats with multiple black belts and pro MMA fighters but this gym has so much more to offer.. best in Bristol without doubt...
Positive experience: I love this place. I've never used a gym like it. It's great for calisthenics but offers a lot more including martial arts and boxing. There's no advertising like in some bigger chains and there's a nice sense of community. The staff are friendly and know their stuff. They also choose the music which means it is very varied although sometimes a bit loud. It can be a bit overrun on the weekends with kids and parents during classes, but they're not a big problem.
Thanks for the great review Max, we greatly appreciate any feedback! :)
Fantastic experience: Having trained in martial arts for nearly 30 years I can honestly say that the atmosphere and facilities at the gym are top class. For every level from beginners to professional they always make time to help you and listen to what you need. Some gyms just seem to care about the “athletes “but every one gets a warm welcome in my experience. Can’t recommend it enough.
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Bristol, been with it for 10 years and 3 different venues. Very knowledgeable coaches with years and years of training experience between them. Great new facility for anyone interested in martial arts at any level!
Fantastic experience: An Excellent gym with equally excellent staff, my 2 years at the gym were a welcome experience and I really got to grips with boxing as I had began as a total beginner. A special Thanks to John, his patience with me and helping me to develop my technique and stance proved really critical in helping me improve on my boxing. If you're still thinking about attending, just go along you will not be dissapointed.
Fantastic experience: A really well equipped gym with great, helpful staff. I couldn't imagine myself at any other martial arts gym. Whether you want to get fit, learn a new skill or compete; this gym and it's array of classes will set you on your desired path.
Fantastic experience: Great gym with friendly and helpful staff! This is a great place to learn and practice martial arts whether you are a complete beginner or competing. Experienced staff are always on hand to help and ready to offer any advice on how to improve. Would definately recomend to anyone wanting to get involved in martial arts or fitness in general!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym great staff , no other gym has this level classes and equipment on offer. Staff are friendly and helpful. Some of the negative reviews on here are laughable can only assume rival gym owners . Best gym in Bristol here!
Fantastic experience: SweatBox Gym is the best gym I've ever trained in! It's full of positive people and experienced coaches always willing to help. Since moving to Bristol I was looking for a safe place to restart training mixed martial arts and without a doubt I chose Sweat Box. The whole team made me feel part of a family from the moment I walked through the doors! If you're looking for a gym that will give you a sense of community, awesome equipment, fun and motivated people, great energy and the chance to become a fighter....then you're onto a winner!!!
Fantastic experience: The best Gym I have been to. Full of encouraging and highly trained instructors, fantastic facilities and classes to suit all abilities. If your looking to get fit, start a new class or just discuss your fitness and nutrition this is definitely the place to go. I can’t recommend SB enough, they have completely changed the way I look at keeping fit and made working out fun again.
Fantastic experience: SweatBox gym is the best fitness centre in Bristol. The facilities are amazing! Brand new gym equipment, great shower and changing rooms with a cafe that sells good coffee and nutritious food. Considering its strong martial arts bias it's much more than the old style spit and sawdust venue! The teaching staff are very welcoming, and so incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Most have competed and can bring their experience and technical knowledge to each session. Cannot say a bad word against the gym. It's amazing!! :)
Fantastic experience: Unbeatable facilities and world class coaching
Fantastic experience: Best gym in bristol
Fantastic experience: A very friendly gym that offers mixed martial arts and boxing for beginners, women and men and kids. Great staff that can provide group or individual training.
