For starters, it should be noted that I'm neither a champion MMA fighter nor a jujitsu master... I…read morewas (at the time) a relatively (unenthusiastic) athletic girl looking for a decent gym with a working treadmill- I would've even settled for a couple of dumb bells and an eliptical machine! Well, MY OH MY, Urban Kings' is all of that and SO MUCH MORE! Everyone at the gym is incredibly nice and encouraging. At first, as the unethused girl feeling a little too snug in a pair of (now known to be see through!!)* lulu lemon capris, I was a little apprehensive to be outnumbered by a bunch of expertly trained martial artists in an evening conditioning class. However, towards the end of the class- it was clear that we were all in it together. After being cheered on to plunder through my first real push-up (I can do 15 in a row now!) I was just as encouraging to the bulky man with tribal tattooed to just push through that last round of burpees. I went home sore and SUPER sweaty- but I definitely wanted more, which was almost confusing? because the class was hard.. like 'sore for two days after hard'... or, like 'my mascara runs down my face from sweat' hard! Nonetheless, this isn't a gym to parade around in expensive workout clothes NOR a massive dizzying arena filled with enough random equipment to make your head explode. I've been a part of both and I am happy to say that Urban Kings is the type of gym I've been looking for all along. I come to workout (that IS THE POINT right?!) and get results. I've seen my strength and stamina increase tenfold and I actually look forward to my workouts. I mean, I guess it's worth mentioning the added bonuses which include an incredible staff (it just feels like family, ya know?), a wonderful locker room, beyond amazing classes for every type of fitness enthusiast, and a great smoothie bar!

Years, well you can imagine rusty would be a understatement, but the boxing coach in the class worked me out worked on my technique and I really really enjoyed the session, so I joined. Come see some of the experts down here, they make you feel so welcome no matter what level you are. If normal gyms don't really cut it for you and you lose interest in a couple of months this is the place for you, it very clean very modern and like a big family. Try it for your self.

Been coming here religiously for a few years…read more Old-skool-no-fluffy-white-towels-hard-work-sweaty-goodtimes boxing gym. Various types of peeps, young, old, all walks of life working hard for two hours straight. Not for people that just want to come for a facebook update, be prepared to work! The coaches are amazing and will always remember who you are and what level you're at so they can help you progress. Come for a good workout or come to learn how to box proper -- not boxercise!! No membership required, pay a flat entry fee of £12, it's cheaper if you do pay for an annual membership: £10 p/session, block of 10 for £90, or monthly for £70. Then 'KO Circuit' is for general public, if you're interested in amateur boxing training, in general you'll have to come to KO Circuit first, have a chat/get invited. Both classes are super hard work. There's also proper kickboxing on Saturday arvos. All Stars is the home of champions having seen British title fighters starting here and also the first Euro woman champ. Check out their website, come along! Saturday mornings 10am-12 are my favourite, good bunch of peeps. All Stars is also a charity org, giving back to the youth in the community. Check out the little video about the gym http://youtu.be/E8XaZGv5oUI http://www.allstars-gym.co.uk

The boxing classes at All Stars are kick ass! Honestly, if…read moreyou're looking for a good, severe boxing workout this is THE place. 2hrs sessions are intense, trainers experienced and invested. They won't let you rest and they'll push you to your limits. And you'll like it;) What's pleasant is that they remember you, your name and progress you make. It makes you feel part of the family. £12 for a session or £70 a month is not a cheap business, I agree, but you get what you pay for. Quality. The KO Circuit class works by 3-to-1 basis, 3min of intense training 1min of rest. People of all levels are coming to these classes so you can train with and learn from them. Beginners are taken on the ring and taught individually how to punch and walk so no worries, if you're a newbie, the coach will take care of you. But be prepared to suffer afterwards and realise the existence of the muscles you never knew you had! I couldn't walk properly for two days after my first session;) There are female only classes on Sunday if you're a female (duh;)) and don't want to sweat much. Otherwise I'd say go for the normal circuit. If you don't have your own gloves they can lend you a pair for the time of a session, but if you think you'll be boxing more than once, I'd say buy your own ones and you won't have to bear the smelly, sweaty, someone else's used gloves on your hands. Lockers with keys and showers are also there. The atmosphere in All Stars is quality, people are committed, walls full of pictures of boxers and fights and in the middle of the room stands a boxing ring on which you train sometimes and where sometime there are fights. Real ones. What else can I say, I totally got hooked and I'm looking forward to my next All Stars KO Circuit!

Bill Judd opened KO Kickboxing over thirty years ago. In that time he has trained the likes of…read moreMadonna, Pink and numerous World Champions. KO is a force in Muay Thai boxing and the Bethnal Green gym is well respected. Training is physically demanding and respect must be shown at all times, to instructors and fellow students. In return for your hard work, the gym operates like a family and you can expect vociferous support if you take the ultimate challenge and fight for the club. You will never be pushed to fight though and Thai boxing is a sensational way to keep fit and build self-confidence. KO is a full-time gym. It is open everyday and along with the full size boxing ring, you'll find kick bags and all the equipment you need to get started.

I don't know much about his professional career, but I know he was a champion muay that fighter, and he is a good teacher. One tip from me if you start to go here regularly is invest in your own equipment! In the beginning I did not have my own gloves, so I had to use their public gloves.... they were all sweat drenched, and trust me, it takes ages before you can wash the stench of sweat off your hands! Same goes for the shin guard... they were so wet with sweat that they soaked through my nike jogging bottoms! Also, be careful if ur a newbie. It seems that Bill makes it a point to "demonstrate" on newbies, showing them how powerful Muay Thai is by using his "weak" left leg to kick you "lightly" on your arm... hurts pretty bad! lol. But dnt worry, we have all been there... its like a right of passage.
