Jason is an excellent teacher with a very easy communication style that ensures comprehension of even the most complex techniques. His energy is infectious which is great because I have never once finished a class with an ounce left to give. I'm not sure how someone who seems so nice is able to push people to their limits like that, but there you go. Classes are usually small meaning you get lots of personal attention and also easily make some new friends! I'd highly recommend anyone interested in personal fitness and self defence to check it out!

I requested personal training. I went in, filled out a form, spoke to the manager and organised my…read morefirst training date. Over the course of three weeks, I had four cancellations. I would receive an SMS between the times of 6PM the night before to 1AM on the morning of my first training day with excuses like leaving the club keys with the cleaners; trying to get my son in a sleep pattern; Im at a fight and I am just leaving Wollongong now; and my newborn has an infection so I have to stay home with my daughter. When I was asked if I wanted to book for the fifth time for which would still be my first lesson, I replied saying no, I wanted someone reliable and who actually wanted to train me. I then received a nasty and sarcastic reply. I do NOT recommend anyone to try this club based on my experiences alone. I have no idea why I was treated this way. I really believe this staff member (who is also the club manager) had absolutely no intentions of training me and this was his way of pushing me away. I am left feeling like I have been discriminated against. An incredibly disappointing experience, I was looking forward to learning a new skill and self-defence. ********* In response to Liam's comment: The business I approached was VT1.

There are professional boxers training here, so if you're an amateur like me then you'll feel a little intimated but don't despair all abilities are welcome here. I took a Kick Start Foundation class where they teach you the basics of boxing techniques. The class is great, it gave me lots of confidence plus a great workout. My partner took a F.I.T class which is a high intensity class and not for the faint hearted given the way he looked when he finished! Overall this is great place if you're wanting to include boxing in your workout.

Ever wanted some decent tips on technique? Ever wanted to take your boxing and kickboxing training up to the next level? Yeah well, we understand. We have suffered through Fitness First (and other similar silly gyms) and the boxing instruction is, pardon the pun, very hit and miss. We wanted to go to a class that pushes your fitness hard, but doesn't sacrifice technique. So it was great luck that we stumbled upon the UTS Kickboxing Club (aka Fierce Kickboxing). Classes are usually taken by Ben Ly (who also runs the UTS Fitness Centre). Ben has a lot of brothers, so if you get this weird feeling that you're seeing Ben everywhere, don't worry, you don't have brain damage, it's probably just his siblings. Expect a lot of yelling, a lot of hard labour, and expect to be scared at first. Don't think you could make it through 100 burpees? Don't think you could do 150 pushups? You can. This class pushes you further than you imagined you could go, but also respects people's limitations (such as age, injuries, etc). Don't worry about the yelling and the threats of punishments: it is never personal, and as long as you show you are trying, your hard work will be respected. Also, there is a bin outside the room if you need to throw up. The UTS Kickboxing Club is operated through the UTS Fitness Centre in Harris Street Ultimo. Since it's a university sporting club, you don't have to be a UTS gym member to attend classes. There is a small annual membership fee (about $30, give or take), and this entitles you to a very low fee per class ($10). If you're not a member, it's $16.50 per class, or thereabouts. It may go up this year, I'm not sure. Classes are as follows: Tuesdays 6.15pm: Beginners (and everyone). Turn up early because these classes fill up quickly; Wednesdays 6.15pm: Beginners & Intermediate -- this class is harder than Tuesdays, and involves things like TRX cables hanging from the ceiling and kettlebells; Thursdays 6.15pm: Advanced (and me, for some reason they let me come to advanced classes, it's very generous of them). Classes are usually 75 mins long. What do you need? Gym clothes, no shoes, ... but you will need boxing wraps. These can be purchased before class, or bring along your own. Gloves & gear provided, though if you have your own gloves, bring 'em of course. Note: This is not a hardcore kickboxing club in the serious training sense. There is no real sparring (no insurance cover for it), and the skills range from absolute beginners to more advanced folks. It's not in a dojo, it's just in a carpeted room, and you don't have to bow when you enter the room (just at the end of class, when we all line up).
