I'm biased as I do train there but cannot rave enough about our MMA gym. I've been there for two…read moreyears and absolutely love it. Yes MMA is popular and there are many gyms taking advantage of that, but not here. We are one big family, socialise often and always help each other to reach whatever goals we have. That maybe to actually compete, self defence, weight loss, fitness or a combination of each. If you are on the Northside and are wanting to try one of our many training sessions, just pop in for a freebie (any session) and see what you think!

At Maxxfit, the training really is personal. The Maxxfit trainers assist, educate and motivate…read moretheir clients to reach their goals and have fun while doing it. As well as personal training, Maxxfit offers group training classes and boot camps which will really help you see results from your training. From $15-25 a session, the classes are small, which means more one-on-one from the trainers (and more hard work from the participants!) The trainers push their clients to the max without being harsh, instead making work-outs enjoyable and never boring. I enjoy their boxing class early on a Friday morning-great for getting out all the frustrations of the week and starting the weekend in much more relaxed state!

I have trained with George for 2 months now with the goal of improving my physical appearance. I…read morestarted as a size 10-12 and now down to a smaller 10. I have lost 6cm off each thigh and 10cm off my waistline, and am continuing to incrementally lose weight and cms. George's calm and cheerful demeanour enables me to achieve the best I can without resorting to emotionalism or frustration, which was my usual response to exercise. His professionalism and innate ability to cultivate a program to best serve your goal in regards to your strength ability and body type is second to none. He takes into consideration your lifestyle, in my case being a mother of 3 boys under 6, and works with it. He manages to increase intensity of your workout effortlessly to ensure that you are continuously improving. George is a brilliant trainer, unlike any typical gym trainer I have meet, which can work with any personality, is realistic, goal orientated and cost effective. I would highly recommend George for anyone who has a goal in mind, and wants no bull-shit, positive training with results.

I am impressed with Sifu Mark's attention to detail he is able to see if your aim is off by even a couple of inches. The classes are small and personal and you never feel like just another number like I have at other places.

Brisbane Boxing has two locations: West End and Mt Gravatt. The West End location is my local. I…read morehonestly hate exercising first thing in the morning but it has become more and more apparent that it's the only time I can definitely commit to doing it, so I go to the morning classes as often as I can. Warm and friendly trainers, good equipment, you can use the gloves until you feel committed enough to purchase your own. Pretty accessible timetable and not too pricey. It absolutely slams me every single session. I am pretty introverted in crowds of beautiful, fit people, so I feel really anxious about going on my own. But I still do it and generally don't lose my cool about being shown up by all the really really ridiculously good looking people. The majority of the classes in the timetable are geared towards fitness (cardio box classes) and are for beginners through to advanced as they are predominantly drill based. I like the fact that it is for everybody! I also have a pesky foot injury that impedes my ability to run with weights (yeah fancy that!) but luckily they've been accommodating of that for me as well. I'm writing this review right now because I am looking forward to hitting the 7am session tomorrow morning! Maybe see you there.

This amazing place is in 3 locations now! West End, Mt Gravatt and Bulimba! I can tell you one…read morething... Once you start coming to Brisbane Boxing, its hard to stop! I have joined regular gyms so many times (that I've lost count) and the most I have lasted is 3 months and I stop going completely! I started going by myself to Brisbane Boxing Mt Gravatt last year July 2013 and it has changed my life! I am also addicted much like others who have been going, it has been a year now and I am still a regular attendee (min 4 days a week to 6 days a week). I have made ridiculously great friendships with lots of people. I cant tell you how energetic and fun the atmosphere is at this gym. Owners and BBox staff and regulars are friendly and full of energy.... Its like being part of an extended family, everyone is welcoming. It is very easy to make new friends and at the same time, get fit, enjoy getting fit and learn new boxing skills. Team is very supportive as well! I have old ankle injuries that come back out every now and then during workouts so at times I am unable to perform certain exercises (eg. jumping or anything that causes strain on my ankle) Trainers are really helpful and accomodating to injuries and especially if you are new and you let the training know before class they will support you all the way - you get your monies worth, it is a very unique environment to train in. Brisbane Boxing offer alot of sessions throughout all 3 gym locations (both AM and PM classes) its a variety so it keeps you interested and challenges you. Lots of people think this is a gym only for people who want to train and become boxers, its actually a place where regular people of all shapes, sizes, ages and fitness levels can come and enjoy a good hard/challenging workout, make new friends along the way. I hope you all come and check out the gym sometime it is a very happy place to be at after a hard day at work. Looking forward to seeing you all there :)

This is newly established Corssfit box (March 2013) The…read moreowners of this box live and breath crossfit, good nutrition and how to combine the both to become fitter and stronger people. There is no pressure on anyone to out perform one another in this box. It is all about working to your level, there is encouragement from the trainers and team members alike to always do your best and maybe just a little more.. I love the atmosphere here, friendly real people, not the fancy wanna be's or look at me type people you find in some gyms.. It's all about making a person as string and flexible as they can be for themselves. There is a babysitting area set up for the mums and dads that need this service, but it is advised to give the box a call and discuss the times this service is available as it is new and not covering all sessions just yet.. I have no doubt this box is going to grow bigger and stronger in no time at all. Word of mouth will get this out there as one of the best crossfit boxes on the Brisbane West side.. Check out the website www.crossfit5staroz.com.au for more details. Great people, great environment, great community.. get it there!!
