Cheltenham Martial Arts & Fitness KickBoxing

Fantastic experience: My son absolutely loves his martial arts classes! The instructor is super patient and encouraging, and the classes are fun and safe. He’s gaining confidence and having a great time. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Our son was at a session here today. Fantastic team. Doing brilliant stuff.

Fantastic experience: My son has just started classes at Cheltenham Martial Arts and is loving it - has made new friends and practices all the moves he’s learning at home. He really looks forward to his class each week, thank you team!

Fantastic experience: Great way to start the week with 9:30am class today. Session ended with pairing up - hold plank whilst partner does 10 mountain climbs then switch. I find I do so much in Matt's classes than I ever would manage alone. Every session is fun and you just work at your own pace. Thanks Matt and all my class-mates.

Fantastic experience: Matt and the whole team are absolutely fantastic! My oldest daughter has been attending for over three years and she absolutely adores it! She has been diagnosed with a very serious, life altering lung disease during this time and CMA could not have been more wonderful and supportive for her. They have adapted things so that she can still take part and be included to the fullest that she is able and still be kept safe too. They make her feel completely included and supported and allow her to still take part in a sport that she loves, even when her body is struggling to keep up they find a way to make it work for her. We are so, so grateful for all they do and now my youngest daughter, husband and niece are all part of the CMA gang too and they too love their classes as well!

Fantastic experience: I joined Cheltenham Martial Arts just over a year ago after being tempted to try their fitness kickboxing - as someone who has had mixed experiences with ‘sporty’ places before, I was thrilled to find such a welcoming and supportive environment. Matt (who has an incredible memory for names) and Angg have truly created a welcoming community in Cheltenham. I highly recommend CMA for anyone who wants to try something new, get a little fitter and feel welcome while doing so!

Fantastic experience: If you're thinking about joining CMA, you're on a great path to embracing transformation, growth and empowerment. I joined (in trying circumstances) in 2019 and I have only ever looked back... to say 'see you later!' to caring and empowering instructors, to fellow fitness lovers who have become familiar faces and transformed my outlook on training by their sheer smiley presence, and to a growing community of friends all united towards a common goal: improving their well-being inside out. A review won't do CMA justice, just give it a try and see your life change for yourself. See you later! ;-)

Fantastic experience: My son has been part of CMA for the last 4 years and he absolutely loves it. His confidence has increased. Thank you Matt and team x

Fantastic experience: Best decision I made for my son. He has been so rewarded with the wonderful teaching styles of his Sensai's. Welcoming and friendly staff and customers. He has fun and learns a lot. Already passed one grading. So proud to be Cheltenham Martial arts affiliated!

Fantastic experience: Matt, Angg, and the team have created more than an inclusive space for people to get their bodies moving, they’re the heart of a caring community. The fitness kickboxing classes have boosted not only my strength and flexibility, but my confidence and sense of belonging. After starting with kickboxing, I learned about the meditation classes and am excited to try their other events and programs!

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to train. After every session I feel like I've had a proper workout. Great trainers who are all friendly, fun and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: The range of classes is second to none and all are of a high quality. I highly reccomend CMA

Fantastic experience: The have made me feel very welcome

Fantastic experience: Such a lovely team and place. The trainers are lovely, encouraging and engaging. Good resources and spaces to learn.

Fantastic experience: If you want to mix up your exercise routine and have some serious fun, you must try this! I had been looking for a new form of exercise when I came across Cheltenham martial arts and even though I’d never kick-boxed before, it was the most welcoming space, with a great team of trainers, awesome class environment, membership options and lots of laughs as a bonus, thank you!

Fantastic experience: Matt and the team here are fantastic. My two boys started recently and absolutely loved it. Matt was so accomodating, as I explained that my boys were quite nervous, shy. I had a few requests if Matt could do before they started to make sure they felt as comfortable as possible, and Matt made sure all was sorted before they arrived, really putting us at ease, which is incredible. Josh the coach was brilliant with the boys, so encouraging and they came way saying they loved the session and can't wait to go again. Highly recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place, my boys have been going here for years. Really positive and supportive atmosphere where personal growth is championed, paired with serious training and fitness.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend checking out Cheltenham Martial Arts & Fitness Kickboxing. I've been made so welcome and given helpful support as I haven't ever really tried either martial arts or fitness kickboxing. Great feeling of community here and Matt and the team are super positive and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Matt, Ange & the whole team are awesome! So much better and fulfilling than going to the gym - they really do have a Mind, Body & Spirit approach to health & wellbeing.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic classes for my 9 year old. The growth in mindset and physical fitness has been great. We have a much happier and well-rounded child thanks to Matt and the other teachers.

Fantastic experience: Everyone in this building has a smile on their face and is so welcoming. Matt made me feel totally at ease to get stuck into the classes and was really thorough with explaining the different memberships so I could work out what’s best for me. I never dread a workout here and always leave feeling good about myself. Highly recommend as the friendliest martial arts place in town!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic. Made to feel very welcome and brilliant, well paced classes with fabulous instructors. So glad I joined up.

Fantastic experience: Cant recommend this place highly enough. I joined just for the fitness classes. They are absolutely excellent, no skills required, they are fun and are an all round class - anybody can do them. Really welcoming staff, they know your name, the classes vary and you can work at your own pace/level. Contrary to what I saw on the initial advertising blurb, there are no gym bunnies thank goodness and the age range is really wide (was initially worried I would stick out like an 'oldie'!). Everyone is friendly and the classes are not too big - maybe 10/12 max in a class.

Fantastic experience: My daughter and I both enjoy these classes- she does kickboxing and I do the kickboxing fitness. It's a fantastic workout and great anger relief! I love the energy that Angg brings to the classes and the supportive vibe in the room, and miss my class when I can't attend.

Fantastic experience: My 11 year old son finds the Warrior classes, which he attends four nights a week, helpful in better managing his attitude and behaviour, and leaves him feeling confident and happy. He says, "Everyone there welcomed me with open arms when I joined and they are super friendly. I highly recommend the centre to everyone."

Fantastic experience: We held our son’s 5th birthday party at Cheltenham Martial Arts and it was SO much fun! He and his friends had a fantastic time, a really unique experience. Matt and the team went above and beyond to make it so memorable and super easy to arrange. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Awesome martial arts center! The instructors are passionate and attentive, and the atmosphere is friendly and motivating. Perfect for improving at any level. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: It’s the best fitness class you’ll ever take. Super welcoming team, lots of fun and you shred off the weight. I look forward to this every week!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to fitness kickboxing at Cheltenham Martial Arts for just under a year and fell in love with it from the first trial lesson. I have always been intimidated to go to fitness kickboxing because I thought it was a judgmental space, however, that was definitely not the case here. Every person and instructor is so welcoming and kind, and let you go at your own pace. There is a great mix of conditioning, dynamic stretching, punch sequences and partner work and each session is just such a great time. I have recently increased my attendance from one class a week to two classes per week because I feel so much fitter than I did before, my overall fitness levels are so much better thanks to kickboxing at CMA. Matt and Angwoo (the owners) are highly skilled, kind and make every class amazing. I work a highly stressful job and coming to kickboxing is the one time I can switch my brain to boxing, training to remember the sequences and just switching off and being fully immersed in my workout. It isn’t just a kickboxing class - it’s a wonderful experience of mental and physical endurance and I LOVE IT! Thank you so the whole team for making my husband and I fitter and healthier and welcoming us from day one I would recommend CMA to anyone who is after the best kickboxing classes in Cheltenham!!!!

Fantastic experience: Currently on week 3 of trial. Found staff and people who go there very welcoming. Would definitely recommend :)

Fantastic experience: Really friendly team, make you feel very welcome. Ive only done one session so far but cant wait to do more. Great building, great air con and we all went for a coffee after.

Fantastic experience: I have been with CMA for almost a year. It has been an incredibly supportive environment to get back into kickboxing. The community and staff are amazing! Very lucky to be apart of this academy

Fantastic experience: Great place, lots of activities proposed in a friendly atmosphere and a sense of community and care.

Fantastic experience: CMA is a great place to train and keep fit. Everyone is welcoming and wants the best outcome for you. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: We have been members of CMA as a family for a couple of years now and it’s been great all round

Fantastic experience: I’ve now been a member here for a month and it’s been fantastic. Matt and the team at the Cheltenham Martial Arts are brilliant and have been great at helping me learn the right moves and techniques to make the most of each class. The kickboxing fitness classes are brilliant and challenging. It’s a fun and supportive atmosphere and I leave each class absolutely buzzing and looking forward to the next one.

Fantastic experience: My first visit was super welcoming , the class was a lot of fun with really good equipment and facilities. Looking forward to my next class.

Fantastic experience: I visit often to use fitness kickboxing classes which is not only helping me to improve my mental health, but also my physical health. Why did I choose to sign up here compare to any other fitness centre? Atmosphere, personal touch and welcoming feel is second to none. I dont feel judged for my weight or nationality. I feel very welcome every time. Its hard work to train, but that rewarding feeling is absolutely worth it after. Thank you CMA for improving quality of my life❤

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and warm atmosphere, made the first time experience so easy. The coaches are very professional, and tailor to details. I thoroughly enjoyed here.

Fantastic experience: I have recently joined the fitness kick-boxing classes, and all the staff are so supportive, it’s great fun and definitely worth doing if you’re someone that is looking for something to keep you active!

Fantastic experience: Been to several of the fitness kickboxing classes. Always great fun, motivational and make you sweat! Matt and all the other instructors are super helpful and welcoming to complete beginners

Fantastic experience: I've just had my first fitness kickboxing session, which was amazing!! I arrived 15 minutes early to chat with the head coach, Matt, about my queries for the session and what I could expect going forward. I was nervous about being the newbie, and he put me at ease. After this, I did the session with the instructor Savanna, who had excellent energy and music taste (which plays whilst you work) and made sure I felt like part of the group. The other people in the group were also really welcoming! For anyone considering being a bit more active and wanting to try something new, I recommend giving fitness kickboxing a go here!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic martial arts class! Expert guidance, engaging sessions, and a welcoming community. A top-notch experience overall.

Fantastic experience: All the staff are really friendly. Feels like a family as soon as you walk through as the owner remembers your name. Savanna makes Tuesdays classes fun and always feel like every muscle has been activated!

Fantastic experience: Matt was very welcoming. The Martial Arts Academy has a very nice environment. My son liked the first free trail class

Fantastic experience: Everyone is extremely nice. I felt very welcomed and cared for on my very first session. The classes are so much fun and makes me feel very energised afterwards. The instructors are amazing and have great humour which allows the class to fly by. Thankyou for making my experience amazing

Fantastic experience: Brilliant range of classes and an amazing friendly community to be a part of! Best martial arts fitness I’ve ever been to

Fantastic experience: A wonderful club and dedicated crew. They have been very helpful and welcoming, and the classes are top notch!

Fantastic experience: Just finished my first Fitness Kickboxing class! I'm so impressed with this place. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the class was such a brilliant workout. I feel great having done the class and I can't wait for my next one!

Fantastic experience: It’s a amazing place to learn and socialise and a simpler way to get more active

Fantastic experience: Cannot rave about this enough - I have only been to one class so far but I already have the kick-boxing bug! Everyone I have dealt with (Matt and Matthew) have been so welcoming and nice I suffer with terrible anxiety which was my reason to start kick-boxing and the welcoming I received really helped me. The class itself was tough but you felt you had a space to slow if you needed too meaning it’s great for all levels of fitness. Also super great to smash out any worries, anger or anxiety!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to the fitness kickboxing classes for a few weeks now and cannot recommend them enough. Matt and the team are super welcoming and really listen to your individual goals and needs. Having a fabulous time!

Fantastic experience: Joining Fitness kick-boxing at Cheltenham Martial Arts is by far the best thing I have done! My fitness levels are improving and that’s thanks to the dedicated instructors, there are all levels of fitness and no one is made to feel inferior, the atmosphere as soon as you walk through the door is amazingly chilled and friendly. I’ve met loads of lovely people and everyone gets on well. I highly recommend fitness kick-boxing, it’s not only beneficial to physical health but helps you to be mentally calmer as well.

Fantastic experience: I've been attending these classes for nearly a year now and after every class I leave feeling better than when I got there. The instructors are always cheerful and supportive, they remember each person and acknowledge when they have improved, it's always a good atmosphere and since the partner work has been brought back it feels a lot more social. I like that each class is different, it helps to mix things up and the theme nights every month are always something to look forward to. I feel physically and mentally stronger having attended these classes, I can see it in my mind and my body as it really does make a difference. There are all sorts of age ranges here so it's never too late to get started!

Fantastic experience: Just had my first kickboxing class. Everyone was friendly and made me feel welcome straight away. Parking was easy outside and there were other car parks nearby. Cheltenham Martial Arts has a relaxed atmosphere and knowledgable staff. The induction process was easy and I’m looking forward to my next session. Thank you

Fantastic experience: The centre of Cheltenham is home to the extremely well-run Cheltenham Martial Arts club, where you and your children can improve your self-confidence while learning self-defence techniques as well as additional abilities. It's a lot of fun, healthy exercise, plus it teaches useful life and self-defence skills as well. Flexible class times, inspiring teachers. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place

Fantastic experience: First session was a big challenge but I loved it. Really friendly group and Pirate Captain Matt proper shivered our timbers! I had a brilliant time, cheers, me hearties!

Fantastic experience: An excellent workout and a really friendly and welcoming team. I really enjoyed my first class, thank you!

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming atmosphere from day 1. Friendly instructors who always do their best to encourage you. The fitness kickboxing program is very well structured, but exercises and combos are regularly switched up to keep it interesting. Overall a fantastic place to go to get a sweat on!

Fantastic experience: Went here are road rage incident from a very wrong and very outraged Scottish chap in Scotland who had been drinking. It unnerved me a bit. I went for self defence in mind with some one on one with Dave and ended up finding Boxing was a fitness regime and a timing thing with some real brains behind it and full on sport.. I had some real insight into boxing for the world read a few boxing books and watched a few fights and actually became a fan of the mindset of boxers and their training psyche .I went on to do some martial arts and other things after as interrupted by lockdown ... But had a good time here as it was my first port of call since doing Judo as a kid at Glos Leisure Centre ... Highly recommended.. one of my more random radical sudden takes ups.. but I got far more out of it than I thought.

Fantastic experience: I was in this place once and I really loved it! Everyone were so friendly and practice was very fun and I could work at my own pace without obstacles. Thank you, I will definitely continue to visit you!

Fantastic experience: It's a really fun class and it most definitely keeps you fit.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place, I really enjoyed my workout.

Fantastic experience: This is a great place to train. Friendly and knowledgeable instructors. Most importantly it's great fun at the same time as a really good workout which I look forward to doing every time.

Fantastic experience: A brilliant group of people! I wasn’t sure what to expect when I tried the fitness kick boxing class but Donna, Michelle & Matt are so welcoming - they make the work-out fun!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been here for about 7 months now and I really love it, the martial arts classes really challenge and push you to do your best and it always leaves me feeling accomplished after. The kickboxing classes are also really fun. Both Donna and Michelle are great instructors and always push you but can still have a laugh with you. I really recommend trying it out!

Fantastic experience: I go to the Fitness Kickboxing classes here and really recommend anyone to give it a go. I had never done kickboxing before and have found with such a friendly team, that it is not only one of the most fun fitness sessions I have done but it also helps you to massively destress whilst having a really good workout. I love it here :)

Fantastic experience: A place with a very nice atmosphere, everyone is friendly. Everything is done to help you get over yourself and stick to your goals

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend the fitness kickboxing classes more highly. They are really good fun and the instructors are so friendly, supportive and knowledgeable. For the first time in my life, I genuinely can’t wait to come to work out and am disappointed if I have to miss a class. My fitness levels have improved so much in a very short time. There’s a fantastic feeling of community here so a big thank you to everyone for always being so welcoming!

Fantastic experience: I love the fitness kick-boxing having joined 6 weeks ago. It is very friendly, fun and you can work as hard or light as you like. There is fantastic support from Donna, Michelle and Matt who make the classes fun and encourage the banter whilst still giving you one of the best workouts you can get. I have just started to take my grandson to Ninjas, which he thoroughly enjoys as well.

Fantastic experience: They are welcoming, nurturing and accommodating for individual levels, needs and abilities. I'm really glad I joined.

Fantastic experience: I love coming to my kickboxing classes. The instructors are so fun and help motivate me to do my best. I look forward to attending each week! Thank you for helping me get better and work hard!

Fantastic experience: Have loved my first few sessions! Super friendly and welcoming , always leave with such a buzz

Fantastic experience: Best place to really ‘kick-start’ your fitness goals and ambitions. Great staff who are always ready to help, have great fun and determined to push you to achieving your fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: Great teachers and facilities. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Big thank you to everyone at Cheltenham kick boxing Thursday night especially Donna my first session which was a gift from my daughter Lisa for father's day. Made very welcome by the rest of the class members and no pressure. Really enjoyed the work out and would recommend to anyone if they are thinking about giving it a try. Thanks again

Fantastic experience: Amazing place, friendly atmosphere. You go on your own but end up leaving with a new bunch of friends. Love fitness kickboxing as you can hit the bag as hard as you like to release your stresses and frustration. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I’ve heard some good things about this place but I was just wondering is this place under 13’s

Fantastic experience: My little boy is so happy going to martial arts classes here, the team are so so nice and accommodating, it’s a really family friendly environment. The adult kickboxing fitness classes are hard work with good music as well :)

Fantastic experience: Excellent! Thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I was (uncharacteristically) really nervous about coming here, and so put it off for months. I needn’t have worried. An incredibly friendly team warmly welcomed me and do so each time I visit. The fitness kickboxing classes are great fun and I have already (after 3 visits) noticed a change in my physique and stress levels. I would come every day if my body and job would allow. I can’t wait to be back next week. Thank you to everyone at CMA!

Fantastic experience: My son has been going to classes for over two years and still comes out saying that he had fun. I think the attention and focus has gven him more self-confidence, and grading gives a sense of achievement. The staff kept up video classes throughout lockdown whenever classes in person were not possible. There a lot of personal support behind the scenes, and a sense of ordinary people finding their own strength and working together to make a supportive community.

Fantastic experience: The fitness classes are as challenging as you make them, so you'll end up pushing yourself harder and harder each time. Smashing that bag, at the end of the day, is also a great stress-reliever! The the rush is addictive! Great, friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere (until the session starts, at least).

Fantastic experience: Great for beginners. Fun and friendly group. Brilliant instructors who communicate clearly, making you feel welcome. 45 minutes that flies by

Fantastic experience: Have only been going to this place for a month but it's already a lot of fun, staff are friendly and don't push you to go beyond your limits. Great place to work out with others.

Fantastic experience: I love Cheltenham Martial Arts. The instructors are professional, enthusiastic and good-humoured and deliver sessions which provide a fantastic workout, whilst also being fun and friendly!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to the fitness kickboxing classes for 3+ years now and love the strength and boost of confidence it has given me. The staff are all super lovely and inspirational and there are regular social nights (which sadly have all fallen so far when I am out of town, but one day!) Finally, the team were ready go on zoom during the lockdowns pretty much off the bat, giving me some much needed distraction and routine which was super appreciated. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to improve their fitness and make friends.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, everyone is so friendly and welcoming and the class was great fun!

Fantastic experience: I started a couple of months back in the fitness kickboxing class. It’s a great way of keeping up with a martial arts discipline, in a less formal and more fitness related style. The staff are lovely and welcoming and you can work to your own pace/ modify if needed. Great stress reliever too!

Fantastic experience: I went to my first fitness kickboxing class today at Cheltenham Martial Arts and it was amazing! Michelle was a great instructor, broke all the combinations down for me, and was really encouraging. I like that the classes are small and everyone was really friendly. I'm looking forward to my next session!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love the fitness kickboxing classes at Cheltenham Martial Arts! Staff are so friendly & helpful and make you feel like part of the community from the start. The classes are great fun & you feel like you've worked really hard by the end. I always look forward to going!

Fantastic experience: Well what's not to like is more to the point, they have everything, super friendly, excellent instructors, easy to use app for booking your classes, great at motivating, so once you start... be ready for sticking at it :) I have been a member for 2 months, used to do lots of running and have switched to this as it's less intense on the knees. Well done Donna, Flo, Hannah, Michelle, and Matt, (hope I didn't miss anyone) you're all fab! Thank you for making me feel so welcome.

Fantastic experience: CMA has something really special. I’ve been a regular gym goer for several years, and value the community and social aspect of a fitness centre as much as the physical workout. A friend recommended that I give it a go, and After the trial I was completely sold. Not only are the workouts more challenging than a lot I’ve completed (my fitness has improved considerably) but the environment is one of support, encouragement and community. -Something which is true of both members and staff. A great space to get involved with, particularly if you’d like to try something different and push your own boundaries a little.

Fantastic experience: A community full of positive energy! You train, you progress, you change your mood and vibes, you laugh, you meet new people... big love for this academy!

Fantastic experience: Classes are great fun, instructors are helpful and make you feel at ease. I have even signed my two daughters up for the martial arts (they love it too)! Zoom classes are a great way to keep the fitness up during lockdown

Fantastic experience: The team at martial arts are amazing, they make me feel so welcomed and love both the kickboxing and martial arts class. I’ve quit the gym now and just attend classes here as it’s so much more fun getting fit with people, and to have a goal and go up the belts! So glad I discovered it this year!

Fantastic experience: Cheltenham martial arts is an awesome place to learn ma each lesson you are learning something new to add to your technique. The staff are friendly and welcoming when doing the classes I have confidence from what they have taught me even if I mess up a sequence their there to help perfect the movement. Recommend them highly if you want to try ma or even kickboxing both are alot of fun to do, even on zoom you still have a smile of your face from the motivation the staff bring to the class.

Fantastic experience: I've been to kickboxing for 6 month now and I love it the classes are amazing and energetic plus feel like a workout. I have become more confident and have been able to make new friends. Its a friendly environment if you want to get fit then go During the lockdown they kept on going they had zoom classes so wouldn't miss a workout. I have enjoyed every moment at this place and seeing everyone by face and virtually makes the experience amazing would highly recommend if you want a good workout/something different instead of a gym.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant classes that push me to my limits everyday. Its also a very friendly atmosphere, I've been coming for two years now and I'm still as keen now as i was on day one :) I've made a lot of friends. Definitely recommend coming here :) So if you're in any doubt buy a trial and come find out for yourself :)
