Fantastic experience: Amazing place , go have a look , lots going off for all ages and ability s
Fantastic experience: My new favourite place to spend Friday nights at (hopefully not just Fridays soon ). As soon as you walk in, you’re met with happy, helpful people. No matter what background, size, level you’re at, you’re met with open arms. The gym is clean, the air is not stuffy, all equipment you need is available. Can deffo recommend if running on the treadmill isn’t quite for you or you want a group work out sessions with some good people.
Fantastic experience: I joined 1st legion at the end of 2019, but didn't start to go to classes consistently until after new year, this is easily the best gym in Leicester! I had such anxiety about going, I'm overweight, unfit and had never even thought about going to a fighters gym. I would honestly recommend 1st legion to anyone, it's amazing! They made me feel so comfortable from the get go, everyone was so friendly, there was no judgement, I honestly couldn't of asked for anything more in a gym! I love going to 1st legion, there is so much support, the coaches are amazing and it has really really helped with the anxiety that I had around sport. The morning classes especially are great, they are smaller and more personal and everyone made me feel so comfortable! I would recommend anyone in Leicester or surrounding areas who are thinking about trying boxing, muay thai, etc joins 1st legion!
Fantastic experience: After 30+years in martial arts.there is only feel gym i comfortable training at .because i see a high level of the fighting arts being taught.in a great friendly atmosphere .with no attitudes just CHAMPION'S
Fantastic experience: Great gym with fantastic coaches and facilities throughout various disciplines, BJJ, boxing, Muay Thai, k1 kickboxing and MMA, from the kids classes all the way up to adults and competitive amateurs and professionals
Fantastic experience: From the moment I stepped into this gym I was made welcome and I was accepted into the team with open arms.since going to this gym I have had my ups and downs with physical and mental health problems and I can honestly say from just training down there I have met some amazing people and good friends who helped me every step of the way on my journey to overcome my problems in the gym and home! If that’s not good enough reason to get down I don’t know what is but they are the number 1 team in Leicester with the best facilities I’ve seen they have professional coaches in all areas of martial arts so if your looking to get down try something new then this is the place to start!! Join the team join the family you won’t regret it !
Fantastic experience: Started training Brazilian Jiujitsu at 1st Legion start of 2017 and haven’t looked back since. The coaches there are all highly experienced and possess a wealth of knowledge which they’re passionate to share with anyone that walks through the doors.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic, friendly atmosphere great equipment and range of classes. My kids have started the jujitsu class and they absolutely love It!
Fantastic experience: My daughter does kids bjj here, I was really nervous to take her the first day but from the minute we walked in we felt so welcome. She has come on leaps and bounds and will never miss a class! The coaches are so loving, dedicated, and have so much passion for what they do. My daughter wants to start Muay Thai as soon as she turns 6 as she loves being there. A huge hank you to all the coaches for all their hard work!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend to anyone wanting to get fit and learn life skills at the same time. (Boxing / MMA / Muay Thai / BJJ) 1st class Coaches always pushing to get the best out of you.

Fantastic experience: Top gym, trained at a number of MMA gyms this is by far the best
Fantastic experience: Made me feel welcome from the minute I stepped through the door ! Unlike other places I’ve trained at, everyone is there to help each other improve no matter the level of the student. I feel I learned more in 6 months at legion than a few years I spent in previous gyms. As far as training goes the best decision I made was join 1st legion
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with excellent facilities, would highly recommend... Coaches are very professional and friendly, but more importantly will push you and bring out the best in you!
Fantastic experience: This place is my second home! I've been training at first Legion for over 3 years. Firstly the coaching and training is first class. From friendly beginner classes, strength coaching and self defence to the MMA fighter classes, advanced Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai and Boxing. The Gracie Barra Kid jiu-jitsu program is amazing. Both my girls (4yrs and 8yrs) train twice a week and love it. They learn strength, confidence, discipline and respect. Whilst learning strong form and techniques though play and great games. The whole team and members are super friendly and welcoming. The new facility is amazing, the space is clean bright and welcoming. And.... Ive lost 5 stone and got a blue belt in bjj along the way....so a Massive thank you to coachs Jamie, josh Charlie and the whole 1st legion family. Oss
Fantastic experience: Top class training and support from experienced and knowledgable coaches. Personally felt very welcome from the moment I stepped in the gym. 1st Legion is also Leicester’s only Gracie Barra affiliated BJJ school and the facilities are top notch.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, wicked environment, great coaches Gracie barra Brazilian jiu jitsu muay thai boxing mma wrestling. Facilities are awesome loads of space and equipment. Strength and conditioning room aswell as matted spaces and variety of bags. Knowledge in this place is through the roof. Recommended for all ages and levels.
Fantastic experience: I have all 4 of my boys now training Jiu Jitsu/Muay Thai/K1 and MMA at Gracie Barra leicester/1st legion gym and all 4 of them have learnt so much from the amazing coaches, not just the art of Each Martial art but their respect and discipline levels have massively increased. This isn’t just a gym to make money, this is a gym that cares for each of their students from complete beginners on their first FREE SESSION to their top level fighters. Everyone is like family and my children absolutely thrive on the support and tuition provided. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️Oss
