Fantastic experience: Legion Gym has been part of our lives for a decade now, with our son starting his journey there at age 5 and now thriving at 15. Beyond the excellent training, what sets Legion apart is its incredible sense of community. It’s not just a gym; it’s a supportive family where everyone—from the trainers to fellow members—encourages one another. Our son has gained so much more than physical strength here; he’s found lifelong friendships, confidence, and a sense of belonging. We’re so grateful to Legion for the positive impact it’s had on our son and family!
Thanks!
Fantastic experience: My sons and nephew just started BJJ at Legion Grappling Academy, they already love it and the friendly atmosphere gives them a lot of confidence to keep going.
Thank you very much, we're glad they're enjoying it!
Fantastic experience: If there's a place to learn Wrestling and BJJ then Legion is definitely the place to be. I've been here for over a year and there's not a lesson that goes by where I don't learn anything or feel like I've accomplished something. Every Coach makes you feel welcomed and every session feels motivating to keep training hard.
Thank you Ifty!

Fantastic experience: The best wrestling gym in london. Coach Amir and Muhammad are amazing coaches and even better people, may Allah bless them both.
Ameen, really appreciate the kind words of support!
Fantastic experience: There is a reason why BJJ black belts come here to train. The instruction is of real high quality and coaches here are true role models.
Fantastic experience: After seeing this gym a few time decided to give it a try l. Believe me if you want a gym back to basic with out no distractions this is it. Friendly staff and straight to the point old skool gym as far as I am concerned. If you looking for a old skool gym back to basics this is it no this is for the old generation as well as new. Keep up the good work guys ,,
Fantastic experience: I started the fundamentals class here 2 months ago and it's absolutely amazing. The coach, Mohammad Yahiaoui takes us through the 'white belt & blue' Legion syllabus combining technical knowledge, live drilling and simulated sparring. The approach is an excellent way to get to grips with new moves. The intermediate/advanced class follows immediately after and access to the gym is granted to all attendees. It's a great place to cross train with whatever you do, they offer Jiu-Jitsu and various forms of striking on top of their staple wrestling. Coach Amir has been training well over 25 years and has a strong family background in wrestling. There's a good reason that people travel in from far and wide to come here. The price plans are still a little confusing for me but it works for my requirement at the moment. However, they're very generous to individual circumstance. All this makes this place an excellent place to train - and that's not it: specialised weekends classes and kids classes run through the week, too. Finally the refurb makes Legion look live a top tier place that it deserves to be. I kept saying to the staff that it looks like the Mendes brothers Art of Jiu-Jitsu! It has a great look and feel with its contemporary appearance. Come here, you won't regret. If they ran classes all day, that would be the icing on the cake.
Fantastic experience: Blessed - Coaches really make sure the members improve - lovely
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to train whether your looking to be a professional wrestler or master the art of Jiu Jitsu or just get healthier and stronger this is the place. Great coaching and worth every minute training with the Legion team.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic dojo for ladies only classes, other classes available. Sensei is wonderful and the environment is so motivating. Highly suggest a class and meet the inspiring women who train here. You will not leave any session without a smile and feeling great.
Fantastic experience: Friendly, excellent, hard work, knowledgeable, committed, dedicated and well equipped.
Thank you!
Positive experience: Good gym and the staff are very helpful ! They generally care about your progression and helping you achieve your goals. When I told them that I had a white collar fight ahead they got on board with me and took my skills set to another level, specially coach Waka - he helped me with 1x1 pads, light sparring, specific exercises for endurance, always giving me feedback + homework drills on what I needed to improve the most.
Fantastic experience: I went to train at and Legion Fitness(E10) I was very pleased that I did. The Coach's were friendly and informative and their English was great. Waqar gave me a class, took me on pad, battle rope and bag. Loved it.He really understood the goals I wanted to achieve and was passionate in making me reach these. He is focused, knowledgeable, professionable and actually cares about your journey and progress.The rates were very reasonable for what was on offer so I felt like I got more than my money's worth from the session. I would thoroughly recommend training here and would go again!!
Fantastic experience: Great coaches and friendly staff. My son is always well motivated for his wrestling classes. I would definitely recommend the Legion Fitness. Keep up the good work.
Fantastic experience: Great training,best teacher
Fantastic experience: Great club, staff are friendly and always helpful, we have been coming here for 14 years .
Thanks Shaks!
Fantastic experience: First and foremost, the coach is a great man. When you have a leader of a group, he must be someone you look up to. Coach Amir, although I know very little of him personally, is an impeccable coach. He has a great way of explaining every move and is very passionate about teaching wrestling.The sessions are intense and I appreciate how although I may be a beginner, the coach expects me to get through whatever he has asks us to do. Moreover, the facilities are very much tailored to the sessions (wrestling.)The people who participate in the wrestling sessions also seem to have a very positive energy and I pin that down to the coach as he has a very positive outlook.
Fantastic experience: Excellent and knowledgeable coaching in every combat sport, the Doc is a legend! Fitness and health coaches are so approachable and professional. Prices are perfect. This gym is a real diamond in the rough! Kids classes are top too.
Fantastic experience: Can not praise enough. Fantastic coaches. The team are fantastic also.
