Fantastic experience: I did the Train Alta / WImp 2 Warrior program there in summer 2022. It was amazing! Liam Og is the primary instructor and he made it a fantastic experience while Marlene really took care of everything else. You turn up every morning at 06:00 and go for about an hour and a bit. At the start it's a lot of drilling and getting the basics down but by the end there is regular sparring where you are really tested in the best way. By definition the kind of people who sign up to this program tend to be pretty amazing so you meet some wonderful people there. Liam is an excellent instructor and you can see he has a wealth of experience not only in the techniques but also in how to teach them. He seems to know five different ways to teach each technique which means everybody will understand it in some way. Truly the mark of a great teacher. The gym itself has a very homely organic atmosphere which is great. There are no egos or attitudes here, just welcoming friendly people. I cannot recommend this gym enough and for anyone beginning I would strongly suggest you sign up to the Train Alta program.

Robert Hughes 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I Started in sbg Cork doing a 6 week kick boxing course the minute I entered the gym I was made feel at home, both Liam and Marlene could not have been nicer to me. I went in there knowing absolutely nothing about martial arts, not once did I feel intimated as all the coaches and members give up there time to help everyone,what I have learned and the fitness level that I have now compared to before I started there is like night and day If its kickboxing,boxing,wrestling,bjj,mma etc or just great fitness classes that u are interested in definitely give it a shot It is also a great family gym my wife and 3 kids are all in classes there and all absolutely love it,the best move we have made was walking in the doors of sbg cork. Give it a shot u have nothing to loose and alot to gain.

Fantastic experience: Not only a gym but a big family. Never been in a place and felt so welcome from the moment I stepped in door. Excellent coaches who never have a problem with giving you that extra bit of time to make sure you are preforming and excelling at the quickest pace possible. I couldn’t recommend this place any more truly a second home.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train and achieve your goals. They do have qualified and friendly coaches who can push you to limits if your eyes are on the prize, which could be either just staying fit or become a fighter. Everyone should try out the classes they offer and I promise you will go back over and over.
