Fantastic experience: This place has a friendly atmosphere. People are there for there own journey as some of these people look like professional fighters and others are for weight loss... Classes for hiit, sparring, practicing and kids.
Fantastic experience: I had never been to a martial arts class before, so I was nervous to start as a newbie. However, the instructors were great and gave excellent direction but also made me feel really at ease and welcome but also the members and class attendees are all super respectful of each other and there's a really nice community feel there. Everyone is supportive of each other. I loved the Muay Thai basics class so much, I stayed for the bag drills and fitness class afterwards. It was tough but I am glad I pushed myself because the only way I can describe how I felt was that I was on a high. The only other thing that makes me feel close to this is dancing and performing on stage as a singer. But it's a different feeling. I think I'm hooked. A few things in the classes I especially loved: the partner work, especially the stretching. I had the most amazing stretch, I stretch on my own often but having a partner doubled the benefit. And the sparring makes you have to use your brain more but also learn to use good form in blocks and kicks but learn the discipline of being gentle at the same time which was an amazing thing to learn. I was worried there would be a macho environment but on the contrary, I feel boxing teaches you discipline, camaraderie, empathy and calms the mind while getting an amazing workout that works on mobility, cognitive ability, balance, core strength, muscle power and cardio fitness, leaving me soaked with sweat.
Fantastic experience: Wholesome and friendly training environment
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Wayne the owner is very clear, concise and supportive in his teaching methods. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Have been a member of this gym since 2015. This isn't just "another gym," it's a community, a family. From a training point of view, Wayne has pushed me and others to our limits and back. After injuries, Wayne's knowledge helped me reinvent my whole boxing technique from scratch and make me a better boxer and helped me develop the skills to help others. I can't say enough good things about this gym and what Wayne has built.
Fantastic experience: An incredible gym, great training and atmosphere! Raptor's community is supportive and friendly, diverse with all ages, backgrounds and martial art experiences. The coaches are excellent and will push you forward in your martial arts journey if you so seek it. A massive shout out to Coach Wayne for his dedication to teaching, knowledge and improving the gym, as well as being a great person. I would highly recommend Raptor's to all!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely incredible gym. I started here as a complete beginner 18 months ago and from the second i arrived, felt completely welcomed and loved the atmosphere. Everybody is so kind and friendly, it's a great environment to learn, get fitter and stronger. The coaches are tremendous. If you're thinking about starting, this is the place to go!
Fantastic experience: A top gym that caters for everyone's needs. A great environment for learning and getting fit. The best type of coaching and great people at Raptors gym. I highly recommend everyone to come here
Fantastic experience: In my opinion the best all-round gym out there. From Muay Thai, BJJ, Boxing, MMA and general fitness you can do it all here. All ages, sexes and experience attend this gym and it has a very much family appeal to it. I’ve been attending for the past 4yrs+ however people have been going for many more years than me. There is definitely no attitude at this gym and we all encourage one another in the classes or in the weights room. Big mention to Wayne the gym’s owner and head coach. Great guy, great work ethic and more importantly great and very knowledgable trainer. Raptors to me is more than just a gym, it’s a way of live.
Fantastic experience: Respectful environment, comprehensive coaching from Wayne and Steve. Raptors is an epic space with friendly and welcoming peers suited for all levels I reccomend coming here if you want to learn the art of Muay Thai, Jui Jitsu or for general fitness!
Fantastic experience: Excellent and dedicated training. Wayne is totally focused on helping you achieve the best possible results. Classes are friendly and the fitness sessions are beasts! Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Really good muay thai and combat training gym super friendly coaches who are focused on teaching you proper technique and making sure you understand to all skill levels and abilities.
Fantastic experience: Wholesome and hard working community.
Fantastic experience: The owner of this place is amazing. Every time there is downtime or gets the opportunity he is investing time and money on upgrading equipment and improving the gym. As a trainer Wayne is brilliant in all aspects as well as being a genuine and good person that cares about the students. Rest of the people that go to the gym are also super friendly and supportive. Would highly recommend.

Negative experience: Authentic spit and sawdust boxing gym which offers fitness and technique classes in both western-style and Thai boxing. Disclaimer: I only attended one taster session. Despite it's 'rough around the edges' appearance it appears to be a competitive yet very friendly place. I attended a technique session as I've been keen on trying Muay Thai after a hiatus (over a decade) from previous Kickboxing and Judo addictions. The technique session I attended seemed to lump together both boxing as well as thai boxing attendees and I generally felt like we were left to our own devices: After a brief session of shadow boxing we were told to pair up and the rest of the session was spent practising knee strikes with our chosen partners. My partner and I must have received no more than a minute's worth of instruction on how to perform the knee strikes in question - given I'd never done any kneeing before I wasn't really sure if I was doing it right or not. Since the session was an hour's worth I left not feeling sure I accomplished anything. There only appeared to be one person running the session yet there were at least 50 attendees to it. It wasn't clear when the session ended either, as my partner wandered off after about 50 minutes to punch a bag and other Thai boxing partners were dispersing around that time. When I enquired about what the remainder of the week looked like for technique sessions I was told it would be knees all week - that didn't really fill me excitement. It appears minimaly managed and oversubscribed. Given there wasn't any signage outside even suggesting this place existed I can only assume people know it through word-of-mouth or via the internet. There was little flexibility around membership options (I wanted to attend only technique sessions but that wasn't an available option). I've been a member of various martial arts clubs over the years and this was possibly the most authentic in 'edginess' but also the most disorganised. It's a bit sad really as I was super excited to find that a thai boxing gym was situated so close to me.
Fantastic experience: Honestly the best gym out there a professional set up every think you could possibly need to train.. everyone there is very friendly and welcoming leave your ego at the door attitude. All the trainers are very knowledgeable at what they teach. Unique (cave classes)(box fit) classes which are intense and will definitely help shift the weight and get you fit. Would highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with a friendly atmosphere that welcomes all ages and fitness levels.
Fantastic experience: The best boxing gym around. By far.
