Tom is a brilliant coach, I have no experience in kickboxing and suddenly I am so passionate about training and being the best I can be. Great fitness classes that are challenging, yet fun!! And everyone is very friendly and supportive of each other. Would recommend X

Thank you Tom! Wish you the best of luck, Lewis loved the class and can't wait to be back!!! He's been telling everyone about it!

My son Logan and me train here at Banks. Everyone is really friendly and all the coaches are excellent.

My children go 3 times a week, loves coming to his classes and receiving a colour at the end of their lesson. I recommend him teaching other children.

My Tweenies love their kickboxing with Tom. He makes it fun for them whilst teaching them skill, focus, respect and team work. We do the family class together, which is one of their favourites. It's good quality time for the 3 of us having fun, keeping fit and learning together. I also try to get to classes - ladies only fitness, kickboxing and boxing - love them all when I can make it!! Hard work but fun!

I'm loving it at Banks'! Exactly the type of training and fitness I was looking for. Now cancelled my gym membership! Every session is different and pushes me to my max!

I have only been at banks kickboxing for a couple of months and since the very first session that I attended I have never been in a more enjoyable environment. The amount of encouragement that is provided by all of the instructors is phenomenal. I would totally recommend banks martial arts academy to anybody.

I absolutely love training at Banks martial arts. Always leave feeling like I've had a great workout and everyone is so lovely it's like a little family � My two children also absolutely LOVE to train here and both have their red belts after a month. It's done wonders for their confidence and I can't recommend Tom enough!

Harley loves training with Tom Banks, he can't wait for his next session, he is very enthusiastic and encouraging �

Great bunch of people, great atmosphere, great training, great coach!

Fantastic club so many lessons to chose from. My son loves it and I’ve never seen him train so hard!

Fantastic ! Tom very good at engaging the students and has a specia flair for engaging those with additional needs. Welcoming and accepting group.

Excellent session tonight with Tom, was hard work but also learnt so much about why we focus on certain muscles in the body to make us stronger to fight. Certainly recommend, but only if you have the drive to succeed �

Can't rate it high enough, I joined at the start of the year and every week I look forward to kickboxing class. Tom always works with people's fitness too, so whatever level of fitness you are, you will fit in just fine and the fitness will improve over time. The classes go really fast too, by the time we've warmed up and done a few moves, we're halfway through the session. The way coach Tom, coach Rob, coach Stevie and coach Meg help with techniques is great too, it's like they know exactly how to work with everyone as an individual and get the best from us. Also, the feeling when going up a belt in grading, it's knowing you've spent time working hard and each belt represents improvement, that feeling is a buzz.

Can't praise Tom highly enough and everyone is so welcoming. Very professional and amazing all round.

Boys first class today and they loved it. Highly recommended! Next weeks class can't come quick enough! 👌🏼

Both myself and my children all train here and between us we spend a lot of time at Banks! For me it’s given more than just Fitness, which is why I started initially, I’ve started progressing through the belts and even started sparring, I had no intention of doing this when I joined! But it’s such a great group of people who do nothing but encourage and support, all the couches are excellent! As for the kids, my Little Recruit loves kickboxing so much and has made friends for life, he has so much fun and his focus and concentration have improved massively and it shows outside of kickboxing too. My Tiny Recruits love their class too and get excited each week for their fun class and getting in their uniforms. Highly recommend for all the family and anyone of any fitness level!

Both my kids absolutely loved it specially my boy with special needs. Thank you for taking the time to support him and guide him. They can't wait to be bk Saturday xx

As an adult (ahem.. "mature" adult), I joined the six week beginners course to kick boxing and going alone to something completely new was a tad nerve wracking, but all my fears were totally wiped away by the lovely group I found myself joining with.

Tom is a brilliant instructor, he pushes and encourages, he is dedicated to see progression and it just gives me so much confidence in myself.

I can easily feel kick boxing becoming a passion and I can't wait to do more after this six week course is over. It's really quite addictive �

The other wonderful plus is that I can feel my "bingo wings" and other more squishy areas already start to tighten up and my waist line is again saying hello!

I could not recommend Tom and his team more highly, everyone is so nice and welcoming. It's a great space, easy to find too. 5*+++ very happy
