PADBOX

Fantastic experience: Why Micheal ? Well, he deeply believes in boxing values and mentoring anyone who wants to learn and enjoy massive physical and mental benefits related to this amazing sport. I am 42, not a kid anymore , and I can guarantee that thanks to Micheal , I felt always welcome for the last 2,5 years, respected and pushed to my limit with awareness and care. I highly recommend anyone to experience this great sport with him… And this comes from a person who spent about 12 years in boxing/karate/kick-boxing etc. No one is too old to improve, get in full on! Thanks Michael!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been boxing with Padbox for about 6 months now (twice a week) and honestly, I love it! I had some boxing training before, but Michael is brilliant with both beginners and those who are more experienced. He makes every session fun but still challenging, and knows exactly how to push me without going too far. The focus on fitness, boxing technique, and core strength has made such a difference, and I genuinely look forward to my pad sessions every week (I’ve never once woken up not excited or motivated to go!). If you’re looking for a motivational, supportive trainer who keeps things upbeat while making sure you get a proper boxing workout, Padbox is the one. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Fantastic experience: A professional, an excellent person as well as an excellent coach, thank you for the motivation.

Fantastic experience: Michael is a great coach. So much enthusiasm and knowledge. Makes you feel really comfortable and at ease when being taught how to box.

Fantastic experience: MJZc Padbox is fantastic. My husband and I (both in our mid fifties) decided to try a taster session on a bit of a whim. But after the first session we were hooked. Michael is super knowledgable, patient, kind and a brilliant communicator. He is clearly passionate about his sport and takes real pleasure in helping others to progress. He's a natural teacher and a fantastic, considerate coach. Our strength and fitness have improved massively and it's been great fun. We look forward to continuing our training with Michael and really cannot recommend MJC Padbox highly enough.

Fantastic experience: We cannot recommend PADBOX enough!!. Myself and my wife have been training for 3 months now. Michael is great as is his knowledge of boxing and tailoring of sessions to suit us both. So much learnt so far and can't wait to learn even more!! Sam and Por

Fantastic experience: Best trainer ever! I have totally fallen in love with boxing, fitness level is through the roof & a good laugh on top! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Michael is an excellent coach. I can’t recommend his boxing lessons highly enough. He puts you at ease and goes at your pace. He’s very patient and encouraging, and methodical in his approach. His knowledge and skills are brilliant so you know you’re being taught by someone who knows his stuff. His prices are very reasonable too. Learning to box has been great fun and really good for my fitness too. Definitely worth taking it up and having lessons with Michael.

Fantastic experience: Michael is a brilliant trainer. I recently had a one-on-one session with him in preparation for a competition, which tested me beyond my own sessions. He knows how to push you while keeping the sessions enjoyable and incorporating essential technique. Michael listens carefully to your goals and tailors the sessions to help you achieve them. I've also participated in his boxing sessions, which are well-structured yet flexible, allowing you to control the intensity of your training. He places a strong emphasis on technique, ensuring that you practice and learn with correct form, thereby minimising the risk of injury. This attention to detail is greatly appreciated as is often overlooked.

Fantastic experience: Had a great session with Michael today! He lead a ‘mini simulation’ of the doubles Hyrox for my friend and myself. We were pushed to our limits but had so much fun! It was well thought through and structured given the equipment we have available at our gym and it really enabled us to see what our strengths and weakness’ are moving forward! Looking forward to the next one thanks again Michael!!

Fantastic experience: Michael is one of the best boxing coaches I have worked with, his attention to detail and focus on technique has really helped me hone the craft of boxing. He is passionate, dedicated and lives by his MJC motto, motivate, journey, conquer. Thanks for all your help Michael :-)

Fantastic experience: I’ve been boxing with Michael for about 2 years now and can say a huge progress has been made! I come to the group classes weekly and, although they’re busy (we all love Michael’s classes!!!), you never feel left out. Michael pays attention to every individual, adjusts their technique if needed and makes the training less/more intense based on your skill level. Boxing with Michael is a good way to make your workouts not only effective, but more entertaining as well, which helps with consistency. So, if you’re looking for boxing classes - look no further

Fantastic experience: Don't worry about your fitness level, Michael will help you to reach your goal. My physical level was null when I started to work out with him. After few months I started to feel stronger, confident, and my cardio fitness score improved. His boxing class is great, you will have fun and challenge yourself.

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience with Michael during our strength training 1-to-1 sessions. His professionalism stood out as he covered all the techniques thoroughly, greatly benefiting my progress. His consistent check-ins after each session showed genuine concern, and he was always ready to help. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Have fun and get fit! I've been boxing with Michael (PADBOX) for over a year and it's amazing to see the progress I've made in that time due to his coaching. Co-ordination is definitely not my strong point, but Michael has always been incredibly patient, kind and a brilliant coach. He really knows what he's talking about and will teach you proper technique, whilst also putting you through your paces. Boxing is my favourite stress-reliever and made so much fun by Michael's sessions. I couldn't recommend Michael highly enough, try one session and you won't look back!

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy the boxing sessions with Michael. There is a strong focus on technique and a consistent methodology that drives continuous improvement, combining a healthy level of perfectionism with constant encouragement. I feel that every session I'm learning something new, improving my skills, challenging myself and having fun.

Fantastic experience: I would 100% recommend Michael as a trainer and a coach. I've been training with Michael for a couple of years now and had no previous boxing experience but this was not a barrier at all. Michael takes the time to ensure you get the basics right first and also explains why you're doing something as well to help you develop. The sessions are tailored and great to help you reach your goals, whether that is trying to keep fit or learning a new skill. Thank you Michael!

Fantastic experience: Would recommend highly if you're interested in boxing/fitness. Each week you will see improvements in technique and fitness!

Fantastic experience: I've had pleasure of training under the guidance of Michael since October 2022, when I began training for my UWCB charity event. From the very first session, it was evident that Michael's experience extended beyond the realm of ordinary trainers. His background in boxing at high-level competition certainly helps bring a wealth of practical knowledge and meticulously planned training sessions. Each of his training sessions are purposeful, well-thought-out, and tailored to suit my personal goals and capability. His attention to detail is second to none, ensuring that no aspect of our training goes overlooked. He spots my mistakes, breaks down the process and helps me understand where I need to improve. His level of planning not only maximises the effectiveness of each session but also keeps the training engaging, different exciting and fun. What I love most about training with Michael is his ability to strike a perfect balance between pushing me to my limits and provide unwavering support. His kindness and motivational nature creates a positive environment that makes me look forward to each training session. What's truly inspiring is that Michael genuinely cares about your progress and wellbeing. I mean, It's not unusual for me to find a message from him the day after a hard training session, asking how I'm doing. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Michael to anyone seeking an extraordinary boxing coach who clearly loves what he does. Training under his guidance has been an absolute privilege, and I am grateful for the positive impact he has had on my body, mind and journey as a boxer. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything and continue to do for my boxing journey.

Fantastic experience: Michael is a great trainer, friendly, great communicator and highly recommended. I have been using Michael for several months as a personal trainer and started off knowing nothing about boxing. Beyond a great exercise routine, the boxing elements and techniques are great to learn and you definitely know you have had a tough but productive workout at the end of the session.

Fantastic experience: Very insightful and well organised sessions. Would highly recommend to anybody whether a complete beginner or very experienced!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic session with Michael at MJCPadbox. A great way to break a sweat and get a fitness session in all while learning real boxing technique. Even before starting I was asked about any prior injuries which straight away showed me the level of care and attention Michael was giving. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Amazing coach who is extremely professional, knowledgeable and passionate - recommended! *****

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing coach!!! Been training with MJC for the last couple months and my boxing technique has improved massively. He's helped reach my goals and yet I'm still learning new things every session! Would 110% recommend!!!!

Fantastic experience: MJC Padbox has been the best boxing journey I could ever wished for. Living and breathing MJC Padbox each and every week it’s the best feeling. With my very little experience with boxing, Michael worked with me week by week on progressing my technique, fitness and mindset. Mostly re-building my confidence, work on my self-defence, balancing my mindset and training me to become a good female boxer. Technically he is THE BEST. Michael is very attentive, focused on perfectioning your boxing style whilst progressing your overall performance with tailored and personalised sessions. Michael has a very structured approach on session types and areas of focus meaning each week he focuses on different combinations, technical adjustments or simply take you through 12 boxing rounds by encouraging and motivating you throughout. Exceptional service, communication, reliability - Michael is literally the boxing gem in Guildford town. He is truly humble, kind and an amazing coach. His classes @Guildford Harbour Hotel are EXCEPTIONAL. His 1on1 sessions give the best outcomes since you can work on a tailored program. MJC Padbox is literally for anyone with or without any boxing experience, for anyone looking to learn boxing as discipline, for self-defence purposes, to prepare for any boxing competitions. It’s for any age, any fitness levels and any ‘format’ - solo, couples, group, corporate events etc. I highly recommend MJC Padbox for so many different reasons. My personal testimonial on MJC Padbox is that it gave me growth, a total life reset, the opportunity to discover self-care and self-love; it gave me strength and confidence, a new perspective to life, continuous challenges to overcome with positive outcomes. Michael not only is a great coach but a great friend that I trust and I know his only goal is to get the best out of people and transmit a passion and a discipline that Michael continuously fuels in any of his sessions. I even enjoy the push-ups Michael makes you do in his sessions ;-) Here is my scoring: 5/5 10/10 THE.BEST TOTAL KO!

Fantastic experience: Great padman for fighters and for people with fitness goals also

Fantastic experience: An excellent Coach and PT. Michaels extensive knowledge and experience of not only Boxing, but fitness training in general, makes him a fantastic coach. His structured, consistent and tailored approach, to my goals, has been a massive help to my progression. I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Michael.

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing training session tailored to my exact needs. Michaels experience in the sport of boxing is priceless. Can highly recommend him if you want to step your boxing game up or just to get fit.

Fantastic experience: Michael is an amazing coach, he knows his craft inside out and passes on his knowledge in a friendly and professional manner. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Michael is a fantastic, experienced boxer who really goes the extra mile with his clients. My first session was spent rightly getting to know the basics and so that he can gauge your experience level and tailor the training to you. Endless patience and a great guy to talk you through the ins and outs of the drills you'll be shown. Great for any level and perfect for anyone to improve their boxing skills or even just get a good workout in! Very happy client!

Fantastic experience: Really enjoying my boxing sessions with Michael. He breaks things down simple and keeps it fun. Highly recommend for someone who wants to learn to box, self defence or just hit some pads for fitness while actually learning the real proper boxing technique

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Padbox session with MJC for the past 2 months, what a incredible experience it has been so far!! My fitness has improved, my boxing has massively improved and most of all my confidence! Michael is an incredible teacher and makes every session really enjoyable, if you give Michael 110% he will give you a 1000% best training I have ever done hands down! I highly recommend him! If you want to learn boxing or just get fit then MJC Padbox is the person to go to!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Michael at MJC Padbox for a little while now. I use to go into the gym not having a clue what to do and had very little confidence in my training - Michael has changed that! He has written me a complete programme including cardio training, weights training and my 1-2-1 boxing sessions with him. He has taught me technique to allow me to carryout my weight training in my own time. In my boxing sessions he has not only broken down the basics of boxing but explains the reasoning behind. So not only am I getting fitter and stronger with my training in my own time thanks to him, I am also learning properly how to box! The complete package which I has given me the knowledge and confidence to enjoy my training.

Fantastic experience: I’ve used a lot of trainers over the years for different things and with that experience I can honesty say that I was more than satisfied with my first experience at MJC Padbox. Not only with the session itself, which was a great workout and educational, but also Michael as a trainer. He makes you feel comfortable from the outset and installs you with confidence that the advice and tips are accurate, having been there and done it himself. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun way to get in shape, a beginners look at what boxing is like or even those looking for something more serious.

Fantastic experience: Only really started boxing 2 years ago and have worked with a few people over this time, but nothing like working with Micheal. I had planned on 1 sessions due to financial reason but after the first, I saw the value instantly and I signed straight up for the rest of the month and will continue for the forceable future. Extremely knowledgeable. If you want to invest your money into something legit, this is the one.

Fantastic experience: Michael was very professional and knew a lot about the chosen area. He tailored the session to my level as well which really helped me obtain a better understanding and I felt like I could learn quickly. I would definitely recommend going to him if you want to learn boxing and get fit.

Fantastic experience: Michaels a great guy to work with, he goes through everything so it’s easy to learn, he’s got the knowledge and will definitely be having more sessions with him

Fantastic experience: Very good at what he does. Helps motivate those he trains to get exercising. You can tell he enjoys helping people get up and exercising

Fantastic experience: Brilliant trainer. Very knowledgeable and motivated. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Such a great trainer , fully listens to you about your goals and really pushes you to achieve them . Always professional 5*
