The trainers are warm, inviting and extremely encouraging - whether you are a seasoned fighter, an aspiring athlete or have a 9 year old looking to grow in confidence, Southside is the place to train!Classes 6 days a week at various times of day have also allowed me to fit training in with a demanding work schedule and really improve my life!

A: I decided to give muay thai a go after I did a muay thai based class at a local gym. It was different to the style of training we do at the Southside but the basics were the same. The second reason is that I wanted to change the environment I was in, wanted to meet new people and do something different for a change.
