Fantastic experience: If you’re looking to get in great shape, lose some stress and learn a new skill this club is for you. The atmosphere is friendly and collegial;everyone supporting each other to reach their goals. And the coaches give clear instructions, support and encouragement. Fully recommend

Fantastic experience: Alan is truly the best there is. You won’t find anyone else with his wealth of knowledge combined with such an unmatched level of care, understanding, and dedication to his students and clients. I began working with Alan 1-1 a few months ago to improve my sparring in Taekwondo, and I can honestly say it has completely changed my life. Not only have my physical skills and health improved dramatically, but more importantly my mental health and confidence has transformed. I went from being terrified of competitions and sparring to entering two competitions since working with him and absolutely loving it. I feel like a whole new person at 26 years old. Alan truly gets you to your goals. After just six weeks of working with him 1-1, I won gold in sparring at the Welsh ITF Taekwondo Championships. If you're looking for real results with real support, Alan is the coach for you.

Fantastic experience: Great for all levels!

Fantastic experience: I joined the gym in April with just over a year's experience in kickboxing and wanting to transition to boxing. I'm now there 3/4 times a week. John, Shaq, and Lara are all fantastic instructors who strike the ideal balance between welcoming, motivating, and knowledgeable. The gym caters to any personal goals with group classes, private sessions, and sparring, whether you're a seasoned specialist in the sweet science or looking for an exciting way to improve general fitness. The classes have certainly pushed me in terms of conditioning, and my technique's greatly improved in the past few months. The community John and the team have built in under a year is really impressive and always supportive.

Fantastic experience: Club is excellent and John is one of the best coaches I've ever worked with. Great place to improve, especially his sparring classes.

Fantastic experience: Nolan’s Boxing Gym is a clean, well-equipped, fun environment and John and his team do an incredible job of making you feel welcome and comfortable regardless of your fitness or skill level. I’ve been learning boxing with John Dang for a few years now and I have improved so much in that time both fitness-wise and boxing skill-wise. I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough or speak highly enough of John and the rest of the team at this gym. It has something for everyone interested in combat sports/boxing/Muay Thai, improving their fitness or just getting/remaining active.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic boxing gym and trainers! Would recommend for both beginners and more experienced boxers.

Fantastic experience: This new gym is great. Friendly coaches and great atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I've been working with John for just under three months now and he has really grown my confidence in boxing, muay thai and fitness. For anyone looking for a coach in the striking world (whether you start as a beginner, amateur or professional), John has a wealth of knowledge in both disciplines meaning you can place your trust in him. Whilst i could think of so many, I have found that my biggest improvement with John has been with my core boxing fundamentals. When training with John, expect drills, tips and tricks, good pad work and tough physical conditioning. Can't recommend his sessions enough!

Fantastic experience: Lovely space and great coaches.

Fantastic experience: I confess that I was pretty average before starting to work with John. Now few weeks in, I can see improvement in my technique, strength and overall fitness all thanks to John's approach and encouragement. 5* all the way!

Fantastic experience: I train with John twice a week, focusing on boxing, conditioning and weight training. I have seen great results in my overall fitness, strength, endurance and boxing technique. John, is simply the best , and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a patient, friendly, knowlegable, dynamic and inspirational trainer, who can get the best out their clients whatever their goals, age or gender.

Fantastic experience: John is an excellent coach. I have been training with him for 6 months and the results have been beyond expectation! The right level of patience and drive, John has seemingly made my goals his own and has pushed me to achieve more and more each session. Can’t recommend his sessions enough!

Fantastic experience: John is an amazing boxing coach with a wealth of knowledge. From the beginning he understood what I needed to do to get to a better level and customises each session in order to work on my weaknessess. He teaches in a way that is easy to follow with clear demos and instructions. Within one session I already felt my skills improved tremendously. He is a very friendly, motivating and supporting coach who has an untold amount of boxing drills/exercises/combinations to keep you on your toes and learning at all times. Whether it's footwork, defence, striking that you need to work on or strength and conditioning, John has it all covered. Definitely the person to see if anyone wants to up their game.

Fantastic experience: I thoroughly recommend John as a coach. I started training with him 6 months ago as a total beginner and finish every session feeling motivated and looking forward to the next one. John is personable, patient and knowledgeable - I've learnt so much and thanks to him, have found a style of training I love!

Fantastic experience: I have had the privilege of training under John's care for many years and it has always been the best boxing coaching experience I have found. His passion and commitment to your personal growth in fitness and as a fighter is something I haven't found with other coaches.

Fantastic experience: Joining John's boxing session has been one of the best decisions I've made since moving to London. Not only have I seen remarkable physical improvements, but I've also been infused with a surge of motivation. I'm deeply grateful to John for the unforgettable experiences he's provided through boxing, and for the consistent boost of energy that propels me forward. Thank you, John, for making such a positive impact!

Fantastic experience: Great boxing/Muay Thai Pt and coach, John knows his stuff, I’ve had many classes and personal sessions with John and I’ve progressed so much in both combat sports.

Fantastic experience: John is an excellent coach; his PT and group sessions are varied, engaging and fun! Great for all round fitness as well as developing skills and technique. John is well prepared for each session and able to adapt if needed to meet to your fitness and energy levels. He is enthusiastic and supportive and creates an environment in which his clients feel excited to learn and improve. Decent playlists too!

Fantastic experience: John is an excellent boxing coach. He exudes humility, patience and care with his clients. I came to John as someone who thought boxing wasn't for them but his training plans made each session fun yet challenging. Till date (over 5 years), I have kept up with boxing and John has played a large part in that.

Fantastic experience: Iv been training with john for six months now ,He took me in from a complete beginner to a place where my confidence and skills improved fast

Fantastic experience: I have been doing 1-1s with John for over 6 months - fantastic trainer, very very knowledgeable, encouraging and dedicated to helping me reach my goals. He developed fun personalised sessions, knows exactly what exercises can push me and works around my busy work schedule. We cram a lot in our hour from circuit training, conditioning, pads, footwork to technical boxing. I started really out of shape and together we've transformed my physique. 100% worth it- book John for a session you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: John is a very prepared a serious trainer. If you wanna improve your boxing skills is the right person

Fantastic experience: John is one of the best trainers I've ever had. Very informative and ensured that not only did i learn the fundamentals of boxing, I also achieved some of the physicals i had set in the process.

Fantastic experience: Great trainer always learning something new and very enjoyable sessions

Fantastic experience: John is the man, can't recommend him enough! I started with John just over a year ago as a complete beginner and he was really patient and welcoming. He listened to my goals and I'm super happy with the level I'm at now, even after a year he's constantly teaching me new things and tailors our sessions to work on my weaknesses!

Fantastic experience: Great Trainer. Really puts the effort in. Helps out with everything and more. Can't reccomend highly enough!!

Fantastic experience: I've had multiple sessions with John, great technical coach, and works you hard!!!! Great for developing skill level and fitness.

Fantastic experience: What can I say, I've known and trained with John in different settings for several years now and I can honestly say he's one of the best Trainers / Coach I've known. His sessions are very good and he's very encouraging and no matter what your ability or fitness level, they're also good fun. As well raising fitness levels, you also learn lots of technique and he gives lots of good advice. I cannot recommend John's classes enough - top coach and top trainer.

Fantastic experience: John is a great personal trainer. Knows how to motivate me to work hard and get great results

Fantastic experience: John is an excellent trainer. I have become thinner, fitter and learned to box with his personal training. There is no way I would pushed myself as hard if I was training without his help. I highly recommend training with him.

Fantastic experience: Great coach, fitness and boxing skills improved massively over over the years . Also adjusted the workouts to suit injuries. Can’t recommend John enough

Fantastic experience: Mr. Dang is an incredible coach. He really sharpened my boxing ability from improving my jab to highlighting my strength in left hooks. We covered so much in our sessions (I.e., footwork drills, bag work, pad work, strength and conditioning, etc.) and I am grateful for my improvements over the past few months. Furthermore, he never gives up on his clients; you will be pushed to your limits in a bid to make you stronger. He’s an ideal coach for improving boxing technique and body transformation. I highly recommend his services.

Fantastic experience: This guy is THE guy. I first went to one of his classes years ago, they were rammed - could barely fit in! Now, I train one to one with him and I couldn’t recommend it more, he’s calm, non-intimidating, even if you’re a complete beginner and slow learner (I was and both of those things) he’s got you.

Fantastic experience: I wanted to learn how to box, and John is a superb coach, both to learn how to box properly and to keep fit. He adapted the training to my goals, taking into account my fitness and abilities. He encouraged me and pushed me to improve myself, and I cannot believe how much I have been learning. Other coaches and friends who spar compliment me on my technique, fitness and endurance. When I finish a session with John, I can't wait for the next one. He is the man for this!

Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend John as a coach enough - the sessions are fun and I ultimately met my fitness goals. What more could you ask for!

Fantastic experience: Excellent classes, makes me work hard but feel great every time
