My girls have been attending HKA for about 6 months and they cant wait for their class each week, they absolutely love it! Amazing staff, great facilities!

Love it! Great mix of people and abilities, everyone is really friendly, the coaching team, Carl, Callum and Jenny ensure everyone is comfortable, they will push you out of your comfort zone, but not too far, then bring you back to where you are comfortable. I have been involved with several sports clubs over the years, HKA is one of the best. Carl is a live wire and makes the whole torture of getting fit fun. Come along, get hot and sweaty, plus, if you have an awful boss..... There are plenty of punch bags to go at!!!!

What an amazing place this is! The facilities are excellent, a whole range of bags, a huge mat area, a professional ring and a team of coaches that are second to none. There's even a cafe on site specialising in perfect jacket potatoes. The owner Carl Denne is knowledgeable and approachable and his team are equally professional and very well trained. The ethos of the gym will set you or your children up for success for sure I would highly recommend HKA for all ages.

I joined HKA in 2018. My son joined soon after. What a fantastic place. I don’t normally stick with things for too long. I get bored and move on. But something about HKA draws you in and makes you stay. They have such a fantastic range of classes. Also PT’s with highly competent trainers who know your limit. They push you, but not overly hard. This makes me want to go back. The classes are fun, we work hard and every class is different. They’ve also just moved into a HUGE new premises so lots more room to train. An amazing family feel to this club. Everyone is made to feel welcome. Whether it’s your first class or you’re a pro. My sons confidence has soared. He’s now part of the Elite team. Highly recommend HKA.

My son Oliver started 2019 just before lock down 2020 at the age of 10, after doing gymnastics for 5 yrs. If I'm honest it's not something I wanted him to do so was hoping it was a phase. He enjoyed it but it wasn't something I thought he was good at seeing him in his classes. Carl obviously saw something different and ask if oli wanted to fight at the hka gym show, oli said yes and won. He then got the buzz from the confidence and in the last year has fought across 3 different disciplines and won gold at the British and English opens. He's competing at HKAs great fight nights and in April competing in the European championships at the age of 13. This is only possible because of the high training oli does with Carl and his team, and how good the other members are who need to see anything is possible if you believe. Thank you Carl

This is a brilliant place, it has really helped my children with their confidence and self esteem, they feel they can be themselves here. The staff are amazing always so upbeat and enthusiastic feels like they generally all love what they do. The events hka hold are also first class with the efforts involved and the detail they put into all they do. I would recommend hka to anyone.

Been going for a year and a half now... absolutely love every session, everybody is super friendly and helpful, always high energy and you never leave feeling like you haven't been worked! Very beginner friendly also... will get the most out of you regardless of ability/fitness levels Very professional/approachable staff Great for stress relief / weight loss / keeping fit (my reasons for going!)

What an amazing experience I'm having with HKA. Firstly, both my girls attend and they have grown in confidence and self esteem, especially my 12 Yr old. When i decided to join i wasnt in a very good place within myself but this gave me an avenue to focus on and help me divert my negative energy/thoughts, so I can begin to be me again and looking after me and my two girls. Being the best we can!! The HKA team are outstanding you won't find a more family friendly gym anywhere and the whole atmosphere is fantastic. Thank you everyone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My sons been attending HKA for nearly 2 years now, starting as a hobby and to keep him fit after a long lockdown it’s turned into a huge support. Our sons had a difficult year at school and HKA have gone out of their way to support not only our son but also us as parents, including calls outside of session time to check in after a bad week and 1:1 chats with him. HKA is ingrained in our lives, our son absolutely loves it and has thrived hugely with his confidence and self esteem since beginning. Thank you for the endless support. Amazing club to get your children involved in! Our youngest will start the minute she is old enough!

I would give more than 5 stars if I could!! My 3 and a half year old son really struggled with attachment when he started here but since joining HKA he’s been a different child. Firstly, he’s been sleeping so much better (hurrah!). Secondly, the confidence he has in himself to do things without me by his side now is amazing! He walks into the class by himself without a coach having to scoop him up. He comes out of class so proud of himself every time. The coaches have been SO patient with him, they’re amazing!! I’ve been doing the female only classes, they are absolutely brilliant!! I can’t get enough. It’s fitness and it’s fun. It didn’t take me long to upgrade my package to 2 sessions a week and a PT. It’s my hobby and my happy place rolled into one!
