PDMA

Fantastic experience: I’ve recently started muay thai classes with Callum. The sessions are really enjoyable. Everything is explained thoroughly, and I was made to feel really welcome and part of a community. I look forward to it every week. I highly recommend :)

Fantastic experience: PDMA facilitate a great environment to learn, train and grow in, with great people at every session!!

Fantastic experience: amazing coach, inspiring and motivational!

Fantastic experience: I've been training at pdma a few months now. Where do I start.I wanted to work on ky cardio vascular levels but couldn't get into the mundane training of running or using cardio equipment I just found it boring but a friend of mine recommended I tried training at pdma with him so I went one evening and haven't looked back since and it's now my favourite training day of the week along side lifting.The class has a brilliant balance between cardio based body weight training at the start and then focusing on muay thai training and practice and every session I'm leaving knowing I have had a hard workout and training session not to mention what I have learned from muay thai and noticed in a short period of time my technique and cardio vascular levels have drastically improved.The mixed bunch who train there weekly are all very friendly and couldn't say a bad thing about anyone.Callums approach to coaching the classes is well thought out, and I can't flaw it.Facility's are decent and he has a load of spare equipment you can use for the classes if you are just staring out and I have even taken my little one along as she's just sat and chilled while dad has trained.A mixed range of different classes for all genders and ages.Open matt days availableOne to one coaching is available.Good parkingRefreshments sold on site.Southend street gym located next doorCan attend that for calisthenic training prior to pdma.

Fantastic experience: Always such a chilled calm place, mixed with new and experienced people, always willing to help out teach, the coach is such a chill guy who is always willing to teach and joke around, an amazing and welcome place for everyone. 10 out of 10 place

Fantastic experience: I have been training at PDMA and with Callum for the past year, Have nothing but high praise for Callum as a coach and for creating a great environment! Nothing but friendly, positive vibes! Having tried a couple of gyms before hand and feeling a bit out of place due to inexperience, Callum has made myself and everyone feel comfortable, as well as progressing our skill set! Would highly recommend anyone looking to get into a combat sport or any experienced fighters to come give it a try!

Fantastic experience: I forgot to mention Callum in my past review, his professionalism is top tier, his advice and reassurance was uplifting and refreshing. This gym is a great place to start your fitness journey, the gym is like a family and you are always well looked after. He pushes you firmly to get the most out of you

Fantastic experience: Callums teaching skills are above and beyond what I have experienced before, the community and coaching at PDMA are a class above the rest. Once you attend his classes you won't go anywhere else. Thanks Callum!

Fantastic experience: The place to be if you love muay thai/kickboxing or want to start something new and unlock a new skill and journey in fitness and self defence. Mixed levels at this club and very welcoming. Callum's very passionate about this sport, more importantly about coaching. He has a very dynamic and exuberant teaching style that creates the right atmosphere for everyone to gel together more so progress together. Confidence will come week by week, as we all start to unlock our new abilities. If you want to learn the art of 8 limbs where you are taught how to throw punches, kicks, elbows, knees, clinches, sweeps in a beautiful way and put them all together, then come give PDMA a try. You won't regret it :).

Fantastic experience: Callum has gone above and beyond for me in every session, whether it be tailoring sessions to my needs, rotating his time to meet my busy schedule or making me feel comfortable as a starter. Couldnt recommend more.

Fantastic experience: A truly life changing experience, a sport I have wanted to try for some time but was too nervous to attempt. But there is no need to be with Callum, he makes you feel at ease and teaches you in a way that works to your level and ability. It has changed my life, I have never loved or enjoyed a sport so much that I’ve taken part in. Thank you and thank you for becoming a good and solid friend, not just my trainer. Highly recommend to EVERYONE!

Fantastic experience: Great class, always fun, burn lots of calories

The atmosphere at PDMA is incredibly welcoming and supportive, which makes it easy to stay motivated and committed. Callum’s expertise in Muay Thai is evident, and his ability to break down techniques into manageable steps has significantly improved my skills and confidence in the sport.

Fantastic experience: PDMA is a fantastic class to learn Muay Thai. Callum is a knowledgeable coach, who makes every class fun and enjoyable - just look at all the smiling faces at the end of each class he leads. I've been going for over eight months and have loved everyone single class. I have learnt so much from Callum about Muay Thai. He is easy to approach when you aren't sure you are doing it right. He gently corrects you, to make sure everyone is safe and having fun.

Fantastic experience: Amazing atmosphere and people at PDMA theres never any judgement here of what level or capability you're at, everyone gets treated equal. Callumn is always positive and puts 100% into his classes- even if you're having a bad day he will make you smile and work hard, you always leave feeling like you've accomplished alot and learnt new skills. I highly recommend and wouldn't go anywhere else :)

Callum is a fantastic coach, who genuinely cares for his clients. If you're looking to get into martial arts, i couldn't recommend PDMA enough!

Fantastic experience: Could not fault Callum at all, he’s a great coach and take the time needed to teach to anyone standard. He makes the classes enjoyable and the PTs are a a challenge but a great sense of accomplishment after.
