Fantastic experience: Harry Simi gave me a great introduction into calisthenics. I would definitely recommend it if you're looking to get fit in the new year. Harry also runs kickboxing lessons so its a great way to combine fitness with fighting.

Fantastic experience: When it comes to the kickboxing classes, they do a great job. Harry, the lead instructor - along with the rest of the team, are all very kind and respectful and are welcoming to all skill levels and experiences. I can also say that having known Harry for over a year now, the man is consistent along with the quality of his classes. I am happy with my progress with my time with these guys. I recommend this.

Fantastic experience: Just went to my first kickboxing class with Harry and it was great. Obviously for first time i wasn’t great but i gave it a go and even when i did something incorrect Harry demonstrated the correct way and gave tips on how to improve in the future. Overall service from staff was excellent and i will certainly be going again.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with friendly staff and welcoming environment. Recently started ladies kick-boxing with Ingrid who’s an amazing instructor and has a thorough understanding of this combat sport, couldn’t recommend the class enough for anyone who’s interested in starting

Elmas Russell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing class, Sensei Harry is an exceptional instructor with a superior understanding of kickboxing showing us all the importance of perfect practice. Great instructional skills while explaining core concepts and the importance of posture and technique, exactly what every student should look for in an instructor! It gives every student a firmer understanding of Kickboxing. The training is a full-body workout, cardio and muscular intensive. With regular kickboxing training, better fitness is not a matter of if, just a matter of when. Really great class, I personally recommend this to all martial artist enthusiasts.

The dedication and passion that Nick and the team have never falters and that's why I view it as the only true dedicated community gym. No one judges, once you go through the door your all of the same troop. Took my son to Harry's kick boxing session for the first time today. He's still talking about it now and full of beans to go again. Harry, great session, thanks for giving him time to find his feet and make him feel welcomed. Top staff, top gym.

Hendrix Allan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great place as a gym in general. Feels personal which I like. Best part however, are the instructors, notably Harry Simi and Brad Paul. There’s no pressure, atleast not with general kick-boxing. You’re there to learn and enjoy.

Daniel Mashal 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: One of the best things I've done is joining the Kicboxing school. Harry's lessons are incredibly thorough and you always come away feeling like you've progressed. Considering the lessons are only an hour, you cover so many techniques and combinations. Brad's lessons are equally as enjoyable and the cardio work out certainly gets the blood pumping! I would highly recommend coming down.

Fantastic experience: My son has recently started kickboxing lessons under the watchful guidance of Harry Simi. Harry has a calm presence, is knowledgeable and respectful as his mentor. We couldn’t have asked for a better coach! He is very supportive and encouraging of his students, a great communicator with his attention to detail feedback. Harry takes the safety of his students very seriously. Very dedicated & passionate, a good role model. We are thrilled that Harry is taking him under his wing as our son navigates his pursuits in martial arts.

Fantastic experience: My daughter loves Harry's kickboxing classes. He is amazing with all the kids. Patience and understanding of her different social needs.

Until she walked into the bar gym

Fantastic experience: The Bar Gym is absolutely great personally my opinion, great company, great people, the personal Trainers there are very helpful and kind, great to have a talk and laugh with, their motivation to you is amazing, always a helping hand when you ask, feels like a family instead of just another Gym that you go to, always love going to the Bar Gym when I'm feeling low and needing a cheer up, staff are absolutely friendly and willing to help you out on your work out. If you want to do a personal training session with someone, the trainers there are so nice and great help, Harry Simi for kickboxing and Ryan Brewer boxing and more, would very much recommend to anyone who wants to go to a Gym.

Plague Doctrine 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Unlike many gyms and dojos that are unfortunately predominantly centered around self-serving ego, jealous competition, survival of the physically fit and the theatrical showmanship of just being seen wearing the next colourful belt, The Bar Gym is a notch much higher on the martial arts trophy shelf than the rest because of it's core foundations: defensive efficiency, offensive accuracy, undiscovered inner capability, and above all else - knowing that not only do the ones around you have your back and will always be there to share techniques, support you, encourage you and pick you back up, but also that they rely on you as a vital part of the overall fighting unit and need you just as much. These teachings and focused forms of humble selfless etiquette are made flesh and brought vibrantly to life by the dedicated and determined instructor, Harry Simi. Make no mistake - this is not just an establishment, it is a family. A truly lost gem in today's age.

Niccolò Paganini 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been at the bar for little over a month, using both the gym and the Fight School, I've taken part in the Kickboxing lessons during the week led by Nick Brewer - these were great, and the recently started Kickboxing Classes on Saturday Morning led by Harry Simi - who is an excellent coach who is very methodical with his approach. He also does 121 lessons with me. Downstairs, the bar has a variety of equipment like a dumbbell rack, deadlifting platforms, a power rack, a benching area, cable machines and a leg press machine. My experience had been AMMMAAAAAAZIING here! I can't recommend this place enough.

Lawrence Trousdale-Smith 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I first joined this gym around 15 years ago when I was leaving school, and I count myself lucky that I joined a place so well suited for serious training. The environment and atmosphere is fantastic, and its great to see faces who have been around for years still training there, as well as the next generation coming in and putting in the work. Great staff, great people, great atmosphere (cant beat the sound of a room full of clanging iron).

Fantastic experience: For me there really is only one selection to get in a work-out and relax. And that's The Bar Gym. Very welcoming and informative staff.

Managed by Brooke Snowsill who does an outstanding job maintaining all aspects. Would recommended this community hub to anyone.
