Lions Gym Mixed Martial Arts /Gracie Barra Coventry

Fantastic experience: Professional coaching , friendly environment , high level knowledge

Fantastic experience: This fitness gym provides a supportive team atmosphere where knowledgeable instructors guide and motivate you every step of the way. The sense of community and encouragement from both staff and fellow members creates a motivating environment for achieving your fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: I recently signed my young son Daniel up for the Lions Gym around three weeks ago. The progress he has made in such a short time is mind blowing. James Dixon is an incredible trainer. He’s great with the kids whilst commanding their respect and attention at the same time. And most importantly my son is loving these classes!

Fantastic experience: I've been training for almost 7 years than had a few years gap, Now back again - nothings changed - great atmosphere, good coaches, family run business. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Great gym with fantastic coaching and good training partners,look forward to being part of the team

Negative experience: Even though the coaches and the classes are very good, you are going to have a hard time there as a beginner as you don't get enough help due to the size of the classes and there is no separate class for beginners. When you spar with more advanced people, many of them don't go easy on you despite your lowel skill level as they only focus on winning the round instead of letting you learn something. I also didn't feel welcomed when I went there for the first time as nobody greeted me.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this fitness gym! The great coaches and knowledgeable instructors have truly elevated my workout experience. Their expertise and guidance ensure effective and efficient workouts. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, you'll feel supported and motivated to reach your fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Decided to start my Jitz journey here at 34 years old and never looked back. Best decision I ever made, so lucky this is on my doorstep. *edited* bar proposing to my misses. -_- It almost goes without saying that the knowledge, experience and detail orientated coaching is top tier but perhaps less obvious than all the belts & medals these guys have accumulated over the years; is stuff like: somehow the atmosphere is completely focused on providing a professional, safe and clean environment to learn... while at the same time still being fun and nonsense (in the good kind of way, I promise). Straight up, I have spent hundreds of hours in classes and have never once felt like any of the coaches have had so much as an "off day", they absolutely prioritise their students even though professional fighters themselves. If you're in the Midlands & can commit to getting there a couple nights in the week, I genuinely do not think you'll find a better a place and group of people than this to train you.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the West Midlands by far. Amazing coaching, great facilities and really friendly staff. Wide variety of classes to choose from and having different coaches across the sessions teaches you something new every time!

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed the class, good set of combinations demonstrated and individual help on hand when needed. I like the fact that the combinations are based not just hitting pads at full force, but by making light contact with your partner, moving and countering, so you are really learning something that will help you become a better martial artist. Session finished with some heavy bag work and fitness, so the lesson was well balanced and practical. What is rare to find these days with Lions Gym is that you can do the week's free trial, then just sign up, no joining fee or insurance costs to pay, just pay the monthly direct debit which is 30 day rolling contract, this makes it really easy to try the club out over a period of time to make sure it's right for you. A lot of clubs offer only 1 or 2 lessons for free then will ask for a joining fee + insurance + monthly training fee upfront to get started, which is hard to justify after such a short period. So I recommend giving Lions ago.

Fantastic experience: Due to work and distance I couldn't carry on going to this gym. But what a gym! Great value for money, the instructors go to each student one by one and fix their form. Shout out to James who has helped me in the couple of months I was there. I have started going to a gym closer to me and made me realise what a quality gym this place is. I'm hoping to back there one day depending on my circumstances. Keep up the great work!

Fantastic experience: My son has had the best experience here. Great staff and looks to be a clean well kept gym

Fantastic experience: Excellent coaches and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: Showed up as a complete beginner a few years ago and have fallen in love with fighting. I don't believe every gym has the atmosphere, knowledge, or team to make that happen. Lions gym does.

Fantastic experience: Our son started the children's classes when they opened back up after the COVID lockdown. The classes have gone from strength to strength over the last 18 months with all the coaches making sure that each child progresses and builds in confidence. The coaches work hard in the classes to develop the children's physical fitness whilst also teaching them the correct techniques, encouraging them to use their brains. He loves it so much!!

Fantastic experience: High level of varied coaching for striking, wrestling, BJJ and MMA. The success of the amatuer and proffesional athletes the gym produces speaks for itself.

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend this gym highly enough. My 8 year old daughter has been training here in Jujitsu and and Muay Thai Boxing for just under. Year and my four year old son approximately 3 months . My daughters first day there, she was too nervous to even step onto the mats, roll on 12 months she has competed in 3 national tournaments and won two silvers and most recently a gold at the British Grand Prix! Her confidence now beams and our son is following his sister's excitement for training at the gym. The coaches are all so passionate about their sport and their enthusiasm and commitment is definitely contagious amongst the children. Classes are structure but fun and children leave each class feeling like they have accomplished something new. Definitely one of, if not the best children's martial arts academies you will find‼️

Fantastic experience: Best MMA/ BJJ gym in Coventry by far

Fantastic experience: Enrolled for about a year, trained mainly bjj gi no gi and some wrestling as a complete beginer. they permitted me to level up and to keep in shape. Great gym, great coaches and training partners !

Fantastic experience: I enrolled onto the free weekly trial but unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances could only attend two of the K1 kickboxing classes. Really enjoyed both nights. I particularly welcomed the fact that we got stuck straight into the class, you certainly get the bang for one's buck. If ever I felt a little lost, the coaches were always on hand to give guidance. Friendly atmosphere. I'm looking to start my full membership next month.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facility with even better coaches !! Very welcoming and great team ethos .

Negative experience: If you're a beginner at boxing, the classes here are not for you. I went along after informing them I was totally new to boxing. No one showed me how to stand, how to hold myself, nothing. No support what so ever and the guy I got left to spar/pad work with did not want to be with a beginner which made it all the worse. At no point did anyone explain the class wasn't suitable for beginners.
