Fantastic experience: My Mom has been attending Pat Benson’s boxing academy for just over two years, training with Darren. She’s 87 and registered blind but has thrown herself into boxing training with a passion - it’s the highlight of her week and she rarely misses a session. She is pushed to just the right level so she is energised for the rest of the week. It helps her maintain mobility, strength and balance. She’s even been teaching her grandsons some sparring moves! Darren is a gentleman and a true professional - he brings out the absolute best in everyone he works with. Their support for the local community is amazing and they make a massive difference to people of all abilities. Whatever your level of fitness I’d highly recommend looking at what they have to offer.

Fantastic experience: Its good, my brother goes here he likes it.

Fantastic experience: I take my 12 year old every saturday, and believe me for a high energy lad, he is spent at the end of session. I pay £4 per session but you can pay monthly and get more for your money. The staff are polite and friendly and they know what theyre doing. They run free classes in the holidays and my son is eager to rise to the challenge. Never heard of this place even though it a stones throw from me but now i cant stop telling everyone about it.

Fantastic experience: Best part of my week is going to Pat Benson. The drills are easy to follow thanks to the support of each of the great coaches. Sessions are a great way to get fit whist growing you mentally, physically and socially. The community is great, the coaching is great, the sessions are a fun yet challenging experience but all in all no one can do it like pat bensons. Best out there, highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Pat benson boxing academy is welcoming to all and inclusive for all ages and abilities. Definitely recommend for anyone interested in boxing. Amazing coaches and built some great bonds with all the members there. So happy to always go back for an intense session but also to catch up with everyone. Great experience and good for anyone wanting to start from basics or even those who are more advanced in the skill of boxing. All the coaches are positive, polite and helpful, it’s a pleasure to be a part of the club and they have really helped build my character, improved my confidence and communication and also now helped me to get into being a boxing coach myself. Absolutely love this place. All the coaches have their own stronger performance, some more boxing based, strength and conditioning, personal trainers there’s a variety for everyone and also they run workshops and programmes for those who may not be as comfortable or may have something restricting their learning ability. They put on family fun days, fight nights, fundraisers and much more. ❤️

Fantastic experience: The classes that I participate in at the Pat Benson Boxing Academy (PBBA) are well run and enjoyable. We are tutored by Darren, an experienced ex-boxer and coach, who ensures that the participants’ physical limitations are factored into the choosing of exercises for the group members. The PBBA is a welcoming establishment with a friendly atmosphere. I heartily recommend it.

Negative experience: Newcomers this is not the gym for you you won’t have a chance if you want a career out of boxing arrogant and one- sided good luck

Fantastic experience: Orginally visited Pat Benson's Boxing Academy to support my martial arts journey, through extra training...in order to enhance my speed, fitness, footwork, movement and strength. Nearly a year later, attending twice a week regularly at the Ladies sessions on a Monday and Thursday, has enhanced all of the above, and more! To anyone thinking of coming along to any of the classes...make sure you do it!! These are fantastic sessions, with something for everyone, no matter what level of fitness or ability...you will feel part of an amazing group/community, who help, support, and encourage one another...the training is great for both body and mind alike...and the coaches/team at Pat Benson are brilliant, knowledgeable and super supportive.

Fantastic experience: I've been attending the mindfit sessions here for many years on and off and they are incredible. Got to meet a bunch of like minded ladies at the Monday and Thursday sessions 10-11. Helped to build my confidence and vastly improve my fitness. Instructors are fantastic. They work with a range of abilities and are inclusive of everyone.Thank you everyone. Be back soon.

Negative experience: Worst exeperince trying to sign my son up for this boxing gym,, walk into the building and after not seeing anyone at reception my husband saw a guy sitting at a desk look at a laptop we politly knock on the counter to get his attebtion he glared at us annoyed an shaked his head an look bacl at his computer not even to enquire what we needed or if he cud help us.. horrible service wouldnt recommnend this place

Positive experience: Good club, they don't push u too hard, they have 3 decent sized rings and it's clean aswell. I recommend this club to any one!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant service! The coaches are amazing.

Fantastic experience: Pat Benson Boxing Academy has come into our school (Wheelers Lane Technology College) for many weeks now to coach a range of our students. The students absolute love it and the coaching has been top quality. The coaching and advice is clear, professional and has helped our students develop some of the key skills. The coaches also have had a great rapport with our students which makes them enjoy it even more! Thanks for all the help!

Fantastic experience: Excellent interaction with students of all abilities. Encouraging everyone to challenge themselves and showing new ideas to work on personal fitness levels at home. Brad really inspires some of our young people to be more assertive, disciplined and how to be in control of your own thoughts and feelings. I would recommend this club to anyone thinking of getting involved in fitness and any school wishing to partner with a boxing academy.

Fantastic experience: Starbank School pupils are very enthused and engaged in all sessions. Our Instructor Bradley, is friendly, polite and great with pupils. We look forward to working with you again next year.

Fantastic experience: I have been training for almost a year at pat benson, the staff are really nice and encouraging and the sessions for the mind fit are amazing it’s has truly helped me mentally and has helped me improve my physical health,I would highly recommend this for anyone.

Fantastic experience: Really make you feel welcome and even though it's group sessions they adapt for each and every ability. Can be intense but it's based on your individual ability and I always feel great after training. Really appreciate the coaches for sharing their knowledge, encouragement and feedback. This keeps me coming back

Fantastic experience: lovely environment very kind staff good respect shown between everyone all in very good place for kids and teens

Fantastic experience: Great lesson for ladies, Darren is the best trainer by far. 5*

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to pat bensons for the past 2 years now an I can honestly say without the coaches a the lovely people who go to the classes I wouldn’t be where I am now. Would highly recommend if you have no confidence. I wouldn’t even make eye contact with people before,but now my confidence is booming. Love it here even better it doesn’t cost you a penny. Darren Sweeney is your man ! A new lady has started called Nikki she is teaching the healthy things to eat also baking. She is showing us the exercises to do with weights to target the areas we want to improve. The rest of the staff are lovely people too they all make you feel comfortable

Negative experience: Absolutely vile and atrocious. I went in and the smell is so pungent and disgusting. Clearly don’t disinfect with strong products. Also boxing gloves are so vile and the smell is so so bad! You will feel sick and its like you will pass out. VERY POOR HYGIENE! Those gloves need to be thrown away! Only clean place was the toilets, hence why I gave 1 star. The last and only last time I will be visiting!

Fantastic experience: Great boxing academy

Fantastic experience: Really great club, highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Honestly speaking by far the best boxing gym I’ve been to in Birmingham…. The coaches have all had previous boxing experience themselves & this really shows in the way they lead the sessions teaching everything from footwork to attack and defence phases With proper equipment loads of space and more then one coach on each session any help you may need whilst boxing is always there PBBA is definitely is hands down the place for the absolute beginner and even the seasoned amateur or just someone looking to get fit and wants to pick up a new hobby. No matter who you are PBBA is the boxing gym for you

Fantastic experience: Great classes and great coaches

Fantastic experience: If you are looking to learn how to box , enhance your boxing skills or get fit and improve yourself physically and mentally, this is the place. PBBA is hands down the best boxing gym in Birmingham.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and amazing coaches when I first joined I wasn’t sure with what to expect but after my first session I was buzzing definitely recommend signing up you won’t regret it !

Fantastic experience: Excellent workouts

Fantastic experience: I’ve been here for about a year and a half and honestly it’s the best gym I’ve trained at. The facilities and coaches are excellent and there is always new things that we learn everyday. Also great if u want to compete as an amateur in the future.

Fantastic experience: I started boxing at the womens class a year ago, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. I was really nervous at first but I needn’t be as everyone from the receptionist, to the trainers and anyone walking about made me feel so welcome. I have gained confidence, skills and a love for boxing since joining. There’s 15 or so women that go and we all share common interests and just support each other through whatever we’re going through. It’s amazing how every one is felt the same before joining. I’d highly recommend it, and my advice would be to stop worrying or being nervous and just sign up as you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: I have been boxing with Pat Benson both as part of the University of Birmingham and senior sessions for almost three years currently and have enjoyed every minute of it. I could not recommend this club enough, the coaches are extremely supportive and know when to push you both physically and in terms of knowing when you are at the right level and preparedness to compete

Fantastic experience: Not only did I learn to box, I learnt about who I was as a person after the trauma of mental health and addiction. Gave me focus, fitness, respect and a new lease of life. Thanks all

Fantastic experience: I was introduced to Pat Benson Boxing Gym around 12 months ago due to my son becoming part of the amazing personal development program and mentoring which is run by a brilliant team of committed staff and coaches. My son has a passion for boxing which the coaches are helping him develop and become the best he can at what he loves. I have myself since started attending here as a gym member with my son as they offer opportunities to all abilities of fitness including person training opportunities and the women only mind fit classes they run which helped me become more confident and fitter both physically and mentally. The staff here are so helpful and very welcoming as are the all the others members I have got to know and who are always willing to help you. I have been a member of other gyms in the past but never felt as confident or comfortable as I do here due to the friendly family like atmosphere I have not felt in past gyms I’ve attended. I have a lot to be thankful to Pat Benson boxing academy for as not only have they helped to keep my son on the right path, they have helped me to discover a passion for fitness I didn’t realise I had.xxx

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a regular for over three years, and can’t imagine life without the PBBA. I am far fitter and more confident now, thanks to the exceptional atmosphere and inspirational instructors. Another bonus is that several fellow trainees have become good friends. Keeping fit doesn’t have to entail drudgery or monotony - training here is demanding but is always interesting and enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: 10/10 lovely place really helped me when I was ina bad place, lovely beautiful staff absolutely amazing can't fault them what so ever, get involved guys!!!

Fantastic experience: An Amazing Boxing Gym. The coaches are all knowledgeable, welcoming and inspiring. It’s a great workout for a range of abilities, and as I’ve improved I’ve noticed the coaches tailoring their advice towards me and acknowledging my hard work.

Fantastic experience: Incredible boxing gym. Been going to Pat Bensons since September 2020 and they’ve been great. Everyone is welcome including those trying boxing for the first time. The gym has all the equipment you need and loads of space. In lockdown, online classes were provided for free to keep everyone up to date. The senior classes are led by Brad Savage and are well structured and challenging for all levels. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I have recently joined this club after moving to the city, i must say the people are fantastic and the training is second to none, the facilities are above and beyond allowing all aspects of boxing to be achieved, highly knowledgeable friendly trainers and staff, but over all a seriousness that goes hand and hand with the sport, i have never come across a gym that offers such a level of support and I am excited for my future at this club and would recommend to anyone who is serious about learning the sport of boxing, brilliant club i can not ask for more.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to the gym for 2 years, and the transformation I have gone through is amazing! I feel stronger than ever, my technique has improved and my confidence as well. It can be "scary" to go to a boxing gym for the first time, but at Pat Benson's I felt like I belonged there since day 1! The coaches are super supportive, and I'm so glad that I can be part of the gym. I have proper withdrawal symptoms when I can't make a session!!! Would definitely recommend it to anybody who wants to get into shape, wants to get into boxing or do something for their mental health through sport!

Fantastic experience: Best Boxing Club In Birmingham, I have been going there now for nearly a year and it has really helped improve my confidence and fitness. Lots of respect to The coaches & team

Fantastic experience: Really positive environment with encouraging staff who are very good at teaching boxing skills clearly. Great facilities with rings, bags, weights etc and great if your just starting out or are experienced and looking to compete.

Fantastic experience: I have been using this boxing gym for over 4 years now. I have worked in fitness and boxing clubs for 10 years and can honestly say the coaching here is the best boxing coaching I have ever had and seen. Not only to they help you improve your boxing skills but they explain why you are doing something. Which to me makes me understand boxing in more detail. Also they offer so much support to the community through their wide range of different programs and even helped me when I was going through something very painful. They are more then just a boxing club. They are a club that helps bring out the best of you physically and mentally. If you are looking for a boxing club in Birmingham that will help you or your children with fitness, confidence, respect and self believe I can not recommended Pat Benson Boxing Academy enough.

Fantastic experience: I took a 17 year old I have been working with for 2 weeks to Paddy's today. He suffers with severe anxiety due to school bullying and aspergers. He is petrified of leaving the house in daylight. In short Darren was fantastic with him. He gave him a massive confidence boost doing a short one to one session before Mind Fit. He didnt feel ready to join the group but he got out of the house, into my car, not mums and more importantly went out of his comfort zone. He will be back and I will bring him, thank you so much for your support today Darren

Positive experience: Friendly staff good atmosphere
