Fight City Gym - Elephant Park: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Great gym with a good atmosphere and really friendly staff!
Thanks Niall, really great to hear you are enjoying our gym and thanks for the kind words for our staff. It means a lot.
Fantastic experience: I've had the pleasure of training at FCG for around a year now and it's been one of the best experiences I have had. Great coaches, great vibes in classes and awesome community. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to try something new, improve your fitness or learn martial arts whether entry level or expert. Also, really well equipped gym for strength training! Highly recommend!
Thank you Nitin for your great review. We really appreciate the feedback and you recommending our gym and training sessions means a lot. We are so glad that the environment and community we've been able to grow here has been so positive for you.
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym and staff are very polite. My kids train there (BJJ) and must say the instructors are really good with the kids, one of mine has autism and the other ADHD and they really enjoy it.
Thank you for the feedback and the 5 star review, we really appreciate it and we are delighted to hear your kids are enjoying the MMA classes. We always try to be inclusive and supportive and provide a welcoming atmosphere and we are glad to hear that this has provided a great space for your kids.
Fantastic experience: While on holiday I was looking for a gym to train. I found fight city and coach Jay for a morning jiujitsu class. What a great and welcoming experience! The instructor Jay is professional and has great command of his class. He went above and beyond recording people while rolling to discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly. Thanks for the great training!
Thank you so much Shea and we are so glad you are enjoyed your jiu jitsu class with Jay. All of our coaches believe in providing classes that provide workable actions and relatable support, rather than just giving you the basics and we are so glad this has had a positive impact. All the best with your continued MMA journey and if you are ever back in London, feel free to stop by for another session!
Fantastic experience: We visited from the US for 2 months and enrolled our 13 year old son in Muay Thai and BJJ. He has been doing BJJ and karate martial arts in the US for almost 5 years. We were all impressed with the instructors and the class structures. I appreciate the full hour that was given for each class. I also noted that my son came home sweaty everyday due to the workout before and after the classes. This does not happen at either of the dojos he's enrolled in the US that's because they're exercising and not just practicing moves. Now when we get to the US he wants to join Muay Thai on top of karate and BJJ. Again I really appreciate you instructors and how they work with the kids.
Thank you so much for the review Stephen and we're glad to hear your son enjoyed his time with us so much. Really appreciated the feedback about our coaches and class style, we do our best to provide well-rounded sessions to ensure they get the most out of every session. Amazing to hear he's caught the Muay Thai bug as well, sounds like he's got a packed schedule! All the best and hope to see you if you visit again!
Fantastic experience: Having trained BJJ here at FCG for a few months, I'm really enjoying all of the classes. The instructors are great. I do the evening gi/no gi sessions with Alain, Sarah and Ivan who are all highly knowledgable and helpful. It's a very professional and clean mat space, and there's lots of friendly training partners/people to progress alongside which I believe is important. I had tried BJJ at another club in the area before starting here and the difference is honestly night and day with the experience you offer... Keep doing what you're doing! Recommend to anyone wanting to learn Jiu Jitsu, do lots of sparring, prepare for competion etc.
Fantastic experience: A community that has become a family that regularly beats you up and smiles about it. It has been a pleasure training here for the last 16-18 months. Everyone evolves and grows together on the mat and off it and it’s been a great journey at FCG. Great facilities with fantastic coaches (coaches Ivan, Alain, Sarah, Jay) and staff (Lucy, Wedna, Kye). Would always recommend FCG.
Fantastic experience: Great place to train!!
Fantastic experience: Solid gym. I mainly trained BJJ and all the coaches were excellent!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at this gym for over 2 years now and having trained at lots of other gyms previously. I can honestly say there is something magical about this gym, the staff and the community. It really doesn’t matter if you are a complete beginner or a veteran, everyone is so welcoming and super helpful for you to learn and progress. There’s a vast number of kids and adult classes for you to choose from in Boxing, Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and plenty of top class coaches and PTs who are more than willing to take time out to assist you if you need help or have any questions. We are a family of 7 and every single member trains here and the community is like a second family to all of us both in the gym and outside the gym. If you have always wanted to learn some sort of combat sports or you have just moved to the area and you are looking for a place to train. I really cannot recommend Fight City Gym enough.
Fantastic experience: I joined the gym in November 2023 having previous experience with other martial art gyms. Classes I take are BJJ, Muay Thai, MMA and Strength. I consider what you can achieve here to be excellent value for money. The coaching team is exceptional, charismatic, and very focussed on technical precision. I never feel like myself or other female trainees are overlooked in classes and always feel like I can train safely in the hands of these professionals. Since joining, Alain Pozo, Sarah Merriner and Ivan Skoko continue to elevate my BJJ to a competitive level and are invested helping me progress. I had never taken strength classes before but coach, Kevin Li, was not judgemental or critical of my inexperience and helped me learn the fundamentals quickly. Kevin also trains in martial arts so he tailors his classes to learn the specific functional strength you need for fighting. Deena Jason, Leon Jason and Callum Hanman also stand out in their respective Muay Thai and MMA Classes as being light-hearted but highly effective coaches. Regardless of the discipline you take up, I am confident with the right attitude you will see results and have a positive experience at this gym.
Fantastic experience: Dear FCG team, I have been a member of Fight City gym for 3 years and although I've not written a formal review I thought to do so in response to the appalling rating and review given to a coach who has been most pivotal in my strength development gains and personal development (this is without any one to one coaching as yet). Whilst I don't want to behave like an antagonist I also believe that consideration should be given to recognising whether any feedback may present a personal attack on a person based on their age or sporting background/interest (completely irrelevant and uncalled for) - an apology is owed here quite frankly! It's just unkind. As for Kev I cannot thank him enough for allowing me to learn not only to apply in my own training but also as a qualified Personal Trainer. Because of his sessions I have been able to confidently apply what I have learnt to my clients too. Infact im so intersted in identifying movement deficiencies and seeing how to help and tailor training to my own clients needs. He has a keen eye for detail and is excellent as Emma states. I love strength work because of him and I am forever grateful for making the decision to go to his class when he started in Balham in Jan 2022. I still remember picking up 90kg as a 1RM and feeling like superwoman having never lifted before. He supported me through the session the whole time giving me feedback. Kev is measured in his approach and just says things how they are- there is nothing wrong with this. I personally appreciate his approach. As a strength coach it needs to be as the potential for injury is great! He also most recently supported Emma and I through our first hyrox doubles at end of 2023. He built a programme for us to follow over 6 months and was always in contact with us and checking in to see how we were. He helped us improve our aerobic capacity so much so that im now running competently 3x a week. Thank you Kev! I will definitely be getting some one to ones with Kev in due course to work on a few areas - I don't want to go to anyone else to be honest as I fully trust him on this journey. He has personally taught me how much I'm actually capable of and also not to shy away from being uncomfortable! Thanks Kev! F×=/%%: great coach Sincerely yours N
Fantastic experience: Dear FCG Management, I typically refrain from writing reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experiences with FCG Park. Since my first Monday morning class with Lucy, FCG has become like a second home to me. My dedication to training has been so intense that I even neglected a former situationship, which has amusingly become a thing of the past—a testament to the exceptional quality of FCG Park. I was deeply disheartened to hear about Coach Kevin Li's suspension. After a Mediterranean holiday, I was greatly anticipating his class. Like all FCG coaches, Kevin is exceptional. I adjusted my diary to attend his Friday classes after colleagues recommended him for my hamstring issues. Kevin identified a weaker lower back as the cause and provided targeted exercises that significantly improved my condition. Coach Kevin Li offers invaluable insights and expertise that enhance us as well-rounded athletes. His profound knowledge of combat fitness and nutrition has been transformative for me. For instance, his dietary advice, such as replacing gluten with white rice and adding L-glutamine, has shown remarkable results. Suspending Coach Kevin deprives other FCG Park members of such tailored and impactful guidance. Coach Kevin prioritizes safety and proper technique, ensuring practitioners avoid injuries. It's unfair that a high-quality coach should face suspension, as it disrupts the progress of regular attendees who rely on his expertise and roadmap to achieve their goals. Furthermore, Coach Kevin is approachable and knowledgeable about various topics; I've enjoyed discussing everything from ballet performances like ‘Swan Lake’ at the Royal Opera to classical music concerts with him. While I understand a complaint may have been submitted, I believe there should be a mechanism for resolving disagreements between clients and coaches. Perhaps a discussion or third-party mediation could prevent such situations from negatively impacting a coach's livelihood. I respect FCG's internal HR policies but suggest this as a potential improvement to ensure coaches don't feel they are constantly at risk or walking on eggshells. Perhaps a discussion or third-party mediation could help. Respect is a core value for me, having grown up in a military household where it was the foundation of all activities. My father always emphasized the importance of treating people with respect - centralizing the ethos of that the same people you meet on your way up are the same people you see on your way down. I have taken the opportunity to establish positive and friendly relationships with most of the FCG coaches and occasionally bring small gestures of appreciation, like vegan-friendly nibbles, for the front desk staff and coaches. The news of Coach Kevin's suspension was particularly disheartening, as I greatly value his classes. Despite a sprained hand and bruised toes, I am reluctant to miss any sessions due to the exceptional coaching quality. I want to extend my gratitude to Coach Ivan for his exceptional support this week. Since joining FCG Park, I have significantly improved my skills and conditioning. Special thanks to Coaches Leon, Robert, Paul, Hannah, Reuben, Rav, Simone, Callum, Nats, and Lizzy for their unwavering dedication and high standards, which have greatly enhanced my training experience. I have nothing but positive feedback for FCG Park. The formula you are using works! However, regular class attendees should be consulted more frequently for feedback, as they are the most consistent participants and the best source of actionable data. For example, a recent change to Coach Rav's Wednesday morning class time was reverted due to complaints from non-regular attendees, unfairly reflecting on the coach. In conclusion, I would like to extend my gratitude to the entire FCG team. I am more than willing to support and defend Coach Kevin in person, as I am a regular attendee who has greatly benefited from his expertise. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, Misha.
Negative experience: I rarely leave reviews about bad class experiences, but this one has me reconsidering my membership. Kevin was unprofessional at the jump. He taught class in jeans, never explained the format of class, and was arrogant and condescending. For context, I’ve been weight training for years. I’m an OT with my L2&L3. I’m no expert, but can confidently say I am a physically strong woman. I’ve taken thousands of fitness classes, and am normally very compliant and open minded with what I’m being taught in class even if it’s not what I’m used to. I’m also appreciative of instructors who correct my form. However, during Kevin’s class, it felt that he was overly pedantic with me. There were others in class with me, but it was as if he solely picked me out to annoy me the whole class. While others weren’t doing what he was instructing me to do, he put a lot of focus on me for the hour long class which made me uncomfortable. While other instructors may correct and help you, Kevin criticizes and is so over-scrupulous to the point it’s unbearable. I have never wanted to leave in the middle of a session until Kevin’s class. I would not even want to pass by him at the gym, let alone take another class of his. That’s how uncomfortable he makes me. I also left class in pain, not the good “I had a great workout” pain. Fast forward a week where I spoke to others who were in the class with me. They asked if I had gone back since the last time. I said absolutely not. And they said they haven’t been back either and plan on not going to his class any more because of his condescending attitude. They also mentioned that they noticed that he was essentially picking on me throughout the entire class and felt bad for me. FCG has other great instructors. Lizzie, Ivan, Zeljana, and Hannah are all awesome. Before you pick your classes, do some homework on your instructors. Take Kevin, for instance—his resume peaks at high school basketball. Dude’s pushing 50. Good luck learning anything useful from that.
Hi Valerie, we take this feedback very seriously and are so sorry to hear about your experience. As a result we have suspended Kevin from classes and will be taking all our staff through further training to ensure this type of situation does not occur again. Thank you for mentioning the great instructors, we strive to ensure all member experiences you had with them is the norm. Once again sorry and we'll reach out personally to see how we can resolve this for you.
Fantastic experience: A great place to exercise, if you like boxing, congratulations, you have come to the right place. The staff here are like friends. Thanks Lucy
Cheers for your great review and we are glad to hear you are enjoying the boxing classes as well as the positive community environment. We really appreciate the feedback!
Fantastic experience: I have been training at FCG for around 6 months now. I have trained at each of the facilities (E&C, Balham, and Moorgate). I currently train primarily at E&C. I highly recommend all of the FCG locations. Having trained at a couple of gyms before, I can easily say FCG is the best place I have trained. There is such a great selection of classes combined with a good free weights area. I primarily do Muay Thai and use the weights. The free weights are good quality and don't get too busy unlike most places. The coaches (Leon, Rueben, Simona, Robert, Silvano and the rest) are all absolutely superb and provide a great combination of technical advice while also pushing you physically. The classes are welcoming to beginners but also have a range of talented athletes for those a bit more advanced. The (non-coaching) staff at the facilities are all really friendly and welcoming too.
Thanks Conor for your review as well as your continued support as part of the FCG community. We are glad to hear your feedback and the love for coaches and staff is greatly appreciated from all of us. We are delighted to hear we have been your favourite gym and long may your success with us continue. All the best and keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: After a year at FCG in Elephant & Castle, I can easily say that it’s a great gym and with a great personality. All thanks to its friendly staff - Kyle, Wedna, Maoua and knowledgeable trainers - Sandra, Ivan, Rav, Saber, Calum, Lucy to name some. Although even the ones I don’t train with are always there to assist and answer questions. Apart from a very nice and clean environment, with well laid out areas for training – weights, mats, bags, boxing ring, there are plenty of classes for all levels and across the day (as early as 7am). Classes are never overbooked and anyone who wants to put practice to the test can do so at white-collar events, organised frequently by FCG. Fellow members are great too, as there’s plenty of camaraderie to go around when everyone digs deep, as well as the banter needed to get things going.
Hi Luke, What an incredible review! We're beyond grateful for your kind words and thrilled to hear about your positive experience at Fight City Gym in Elephant & Castle.

Hi, Thanks for the great feedback! We're glad you love our gym, coaching, and facilities. Cleanliness and community are key for us. We appreciate your support!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training combat sports across a range of gyms for the last 8 years, and FCG are by far the best gyms I’ve trained at. And as a result I’ve been a member with them for 4 years. The trainers are world class across all disciplines: Muay Thai, boxing, BJJ, wrestling and MMA. And all trainers have actual professional fight experience. FCG have created an amazing community, for everyone who wants to enjoy combat sports from a hobby to a professional fighter. The training is a perfect balance of a good workout and practicing technique. The sparring is also a good balance of competitive, but ego free. And if you need a break from combat sports for a session, the gym facilities, HIIT, and weights classes are top notch too (which you don’t get in many fight gyms). All in all, 10/10 gym and would recommend to anyone looking for a combat gym, beginner or advanced.
Fantastic experience: Great Instructors and classes. Connor Ward is a fantastic coach. Lucy Campbell is also very friendly and trains us well.
Fantastic experience: Great gym!

Fantastic experience: Solid gym good for fitness and combat sports. Ivans MMA and jujitsu classes are the best for getting fight ready. Top tier receptionists Lucy and Kai who actually do the sports and are helpful.
Fantastic experience: Amazing atmosphere and very welcoming team. Everyone always has a smile on their faces, specially Lucy and Ivan. The gym floor has everything you might need to keep fit and the functional training classes are beginner friendly. 10/10 recommend for the goal driven individual or one looking to be

Hi Kenneth, Thank you for the feedback and glad to hear you are happy with your experience at Fight City Gym!
Fantastic experience: Great coaches and facilities.
Hi Brandon, Thank you for the positive feedback!
Fantastic experience: After going to a regular commercial gym, I was quite reluctant to join a Fight City Gym. I was able to get over my nervousness when Ruben welcomed me and encouraged me to join the gym. It's been an amazing journey! My time here has been exceptional because Kye, the person in charge of the desk, not only provides the greatest service from the classes, but he also constantly greets and assists those who visit. Not only do we get excellent care, but he also makes sure everything is clean and safe. I am so grateful to the management of Elephant club in particular for their culture and team nature that I could not recommend a club more!
Hi Diana, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that Ruben and Kye have made your transition to Fight City Gym a positive one. Providing exceptional service and maintaining a clean and safe environment are our top priorities, and we're glad to know that you've felt well-cared for during your time here. We're grateful for your recommendation and for being a part of our club's community. We look forward to continuing to support you on your fitness journey at Fight City Gym!
Fantastic experience: If u want to get into any martial art this gym is one of the best no doubt about it, amazing coaches, all type of classes at multiple times and well-equipped facilities
Hi Steven, We're thrilled to hear that you consider our gym one of the best for martial arts. Providing a variety of classes at convenient times and maintaining well-equipped facilities are priorities for us. We're glad you appreciate our amazing coaches and the diversity of classes available. We look forward to continuing to support you on your martial arts journey at our gym!
Fantastic experience: Undercover life changer. Fight city is more than just a gym. It's a family, from the coaches and staff to the members, everyone is so welcoming and most importantly, not afraid to push you to become your best self!
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Best in the area for sure. Great staff, clean and great training facilities. Will always recommend!
Fantastic experience: This gym is the place to be for sparring and general boxing-training. Great ring in the back and the staff is amazing, especially Kye, who's very customer-centric! Thanks, guys!
Negative experience: Did a trial. The instructor was rude & condescending with a bad attitude, also talked a lot of nonsense and didn’t provide the best lesson structure. He talked down to me and acted snobbish for some reason. Completely put me off joining. Plenty other places to train with better more informative and helpful instructors. I received more advice as a novice from the sparing partner than I did the teacher who was reluctant to even allow me in the lesson for random bizzare reasons he made in his head. Some of what he said was just complete utter untrue nonsense
Hi, thank you for your feedback. We take all feedback on board and try to improve. As we do not know who you are or when you attended we have no idea which class or coach you are talking about so we would really appreciate you get in touch with us to provide more details. You can contact us here: [email protected]
Fantastic experience: Kids bjj, my daughter enjoyed this especially as there's alot more sparring/fitness than other clubs.
Fantastic experience: New equipment, good balance of kit and martial arts space. If you’re looking for Boxing Craig is also a great coach
Fantastic experience: Fight city has been an amazing opportunity for me to get to grips with my fitness it sound and supportive environment. Don't have enough good things to say about the staff and coaches, which makes everyone involved feel like part of a team. Myself included.
Really appreciate this Luke and glad to know you feel so at home at our gym. We pride ourselves on being an open and welcoming community and we are proud that you feel able to be a part of that.
Fantastic experience: great staff
Thank you Theo. We always pride ourselves on our high levels of customer care in both our classes and just around the gym so glad to know we left a notable impression. We truly believe our instructors and trainers are some of the best around and it's always nice to be reminded of why. Thanks again.
Fantastic experience: The best experience
Really glad you enjoyed your time here Oscar. Thanks for leaving us a review and we hope you continue to enjoy your experience at our gym for a long time to come.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, great facilities, great training, super nice people and wonderful community, definitely recommend if you're thinking of giving it a go
Fantastic experience: I joined in the summer as a complete beginner, and this gym was such a good place to do that. The team are really welcoming and supportive, but also the people that go to this gym are friendly, which creates a lovely atmosphere. From a practical point of view they have a good variety of equipment and classes. When taking classes you do get quite a lot of attention from the instructors, which is fabulously helpful when you're learning, but also means if you're experienced you're getting tailored advice to help you progress even further. I'd happily recommend this gym to anyone, do come along
Thank you so much Kathrine and we are so glad you have enjoyed your time here. It can always be a scary time joining a new gym, especially as a beginner, so we are glad our instructors as well as our community were able to make it an easy and welcoming atmosphere for you. We really appreciate the recommendation of our gym and we hope we continue to see you for a long while yet!
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Very friendly staff and excellent coaches.
Fantastic experience: After seeing an advert on instagram for a six week women’s programme. I made an enquiry and was contacted by one of the coaches with some more details. I went in a week or so later and met with a coach who explained the programme and what I’d have access to. A week into the programme I knew I wanted to sign up for a membership. I’d always wanted to try combat sport and found myself enjoying Muay Thai immensely. All of the coaches have different teaching styles which makes no two classes the same, they always feel varied and you’re constantly learning. I’d say 80% of my training is now Muay Thai focussed, it’s become a huge part of my life and something I’m really dedicated to developing and improving. The quality of the teaching and the energy in the classes has everything to do with that. At FCG Elephant Park, one thing all the coaches have in common across the combat disciplines whether it be Muay Thai, Boxing, Strength/HIIT, Kickboxing or Submission Wrestling is that they all teach at an incredibly high level, you always know you’re in safe hands and they take the time to go through drills in detail and genuinely care about your progress. If it wasn’t such a great place, I wouldn’t spend most lunchtimes and evenings there!
Fantastic experience: I’m currently having Muay Thai classes here and it’s amazing. It’s very effective and they’re always willing to teach and help you at your pace. Very encouraging might I add, and the facility is great. The staff are amazing and always willing to help. You cannot go wrong here. You actually get your money worth ..
Fantastic experience: Fight City Elephant Park is one of the best gyms I’ve been to. There’s amazing facilities, world class coaches and plenty of classes to get stuck into whether its Boxing, MMA, Strength & Conditioning and even Yoga. And if you want to train BJJ there’s not a better gym in London.
Fantastic experience: I joined FCG a couple of months ago and I simply love every single aspect of the gym: from classes to coaches and people in general. The gym allows you to choose from a great variety of classes and gives you the flexibility to train either in the morning or afternoon or in the evening. The coaches are all professional, nice and patient, classes are intense but the hard work is worth. I do boxing two/three times a week with Callum and Dylan and I could not have wished for better coaches. Both classes are run professionally with attention to every detail. As for the gym equipment, you find the ultimate machines for your workout. Cleanliness and brightness of the place are spot on. I highly recommend FGC. Great people, great gym, great classes !!!
Fantastic experience: I had my first Muay Thai session at Fight City Gym and was amazing, since that first training I cannot stop going to keep learning from the best coaches. Also I do use the Gym , they have great equipment and always looks nice and clean. I definitely recommend it to my friends to join.
Fantastic experience: It’s a lovely gym. The coaches I’ve worked with are all highly skilled. I’ve been boxing for a while & have attended the sparring.also it's great to have mix coaches male and female. I High recommended fight city gym at elephant and castle . Especially Ruben classes .
Fantastic experience: I can put into words how amazing this gym everything from staff to coaches to students I wish I found this gym earlier on but it is what is . This gym will take your fighting game into another level .it’s an amazing atmosphere guaranteed to level up in 6 months if you work hard. Shout out to Lucy & Kyle for always been with in arm reach when you need anything done .
Fantastic experience: I love training at this gym. It teaches you boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing, wrestling, BJJ, and much more. With morning, lunch, and evening classes I can always find something that fits my schedule. A lot of the trainers actively fight, so you know you are getting the right practical information that actually works in the ring. The gym is brand new and features all the equipment you can imagine for training martial arts, conditioning, and strength.
Fantastic experience: All staff are welcoming and happy to help. Family atmosphere. Been training BJJ there for nearly a year now, and only have good things to say!
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. I was returning to Muay Thai after a severe injury and the coaches have been superb at managing my training. I also like that there are pre-work sessions available and that the gym equipment is in such good condition.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, good people - feels like a community.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with a welcoming atmosphere and community, good facilities and a mixture of classes covering a variety of disciplines as well as fitness, HIIT and mobility. The instructors are experienced and friendly, and cater to all levels. Can't recommend enough for people looking to get into martial arts!
Fantastic experience: I've been going to this gym since it opened earlier this year and it's been amazing. There are so many different types of classes to cater to everyone (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Boxing, Self-defence, etc.) and top tier coaches who really push you to develop in every session The fact that there is a big cohort of the gym that regularly compete (and win) also means that what you learn in training is relavant and actually works in a competition. ZR Team is the BJJ team at Fight City Gym and their record speaks for itself Most importantly, there is a friendly and welcoming community of staff and members (which keeps on growing), who keep me coming back week in week out. Highly recommend giving it a shot!
Fantastic experience: I wanted to trial Fightcity, so kept my Gymbox membership running for a month, but now only use Fightcitygym I initially joined as I wanted to try out their Muay Thai classes. These have been excellent, the coaches are excellent, you work hard, learn a lot, but they are always fun. I enjoyed the classes so much I signed up for Muay Thai PT which is now a highlight of my week A big additional benefit is the first class gym equipment, they have 90% of the machines you'll find in a Gymbox, but the gyms are MUCH less crowded, not had to wait for a machine once even at peak times Worth mentioning, they have a ton of other classes I don't use (MMA / Boxing / Strength and Conditioning)
Fantastic experience: The gym itself is clean and well equipped with a range of different hanging bags, a boxing ring and large matted area, all available to use when no classes are on. But you don't join a gym like this just for the gym equipment, it's all about the classes. These are normally for all levels unless stated (if you're a beginner it's worth trying a few different classes with different coaches to find what works for you). A class can be full of professional fighters, super fit city workers getting rid of stress or even the odd weekend warrior like me, the coaches work around you and your limits while not ignoring the rest of the class, and its easily the friendliest gym I've ever been in, When I started at FCG I thought I was pretty fit, I wasn't. But by being here, I'm getting there.
Fantastic experience: I have been training at fight city at elephant and castle since it opened. It has been a real good experience everyone there is welcoming and friendly. When I train here at fight city I leave the gym feeling good. I have also learnt skills in mixed martial arts and continue to enjoy learning more. Nick
Fantastic experience: An amazing combat and fitness gym. The staff & instructors are all friendly, supportive and knowledgeable, with years of experience in combat sports. The gym itself is clean, modern and maintained to the highest standards. Unlike other gyms, combat and otherwise, there is a sense of community at this gym with members and staff being supportice and welcoming to all, which makes this a fantastic for all skill levels and will keep you motivated and wanting to return to the gym even on the toughest days. Capitalising on the air of community built up at this gym, the gym organise various events that are very well organised and attended, from social nights to white collar events and even overseas training and competitions. The owners and staff at fight city gym have found the winning combination and set the standard that other gyms aspire to.
Fantastic experience: A great new gym with good facilities also really great classes and coaches
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym. The coaches are brilliant, facilities are great quality and people are welcoming and friendly. I especially like that there are so many class options, including several women's only classes. Whether you're a complete beginner or have been training for a long time, check it out!
Fantastic experience: FCG has patient coaches who give you attention to detail. Great variety of classes : BJJ, wrestling, kickboxing, boxing and even yoga. The weights gym is elite level too! If you put in the effort they’ll help you smash your goals.
Fantastic experience: Good rounded gym with everything you need.
Fantastic experience: Great trainers, great gym, great community. Easily the best gym I’ve ever joined, at first I just wanted to do boxing and lift weights but they roped me into BJJ kickboxing and wrestling and now I love it all. I’ve learned way more then I ever though I would, got in some of the best shape of my life, and made new friends. Defied expectations across the board and is the best money I spend since moving to London. Everyone who works at the gym does their job with pride and high effort. Everyone who goes to the gym leaves tired, sweating, and smiling.
Fantastic experience: Great gym with great trainers!
Fantastic experience: Joined up in February, its a great gym with great trainers

Fantastic experience: Very pleasant experience. The instructors are super patient and helpful - especially Wendle Lewis. He's a great coach and he's attentive to every single student in wrestling.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with even better staff, made me feel welcome from Day 1 and puts great importance on a social feeling. The coaching is high-level and as a woman specifically, they look out for me without being patronising and push me to grow. Love the variety of classes and the gym equipment, the whole gym is always really clean as well. I originally switched to this gym because it was a better location for me, but I can genuinely say it was the best decision I’ve made in a while. Definitely try it out, especially if you’re a woman struggling to find a gym you feel comfortable at. They also do women-only classes :) Big up Dylan and the gang!
Fantastic experience: Great management. Dylan the manager is an absolute legend who understands business operations and providing excellent customer experience. Coaches are extremely competent, Ivan the BJJ coach is a must have coach for martial arts, excellent and patient teacher.Great community.
