anastasia salamastrakis If you’re looking for someone to motivate and guide you to achieve your fitness goals, Greg is fantastic. The group sessions cater for different fitness levels and everyone is super welcoming. I ran my first marathon with the help of his Training Peaks program!

D Smith I have been to many gyms. This one is by far my favorite. The staff is friendly and always happy to help. I did not want to be on a long term contract.. They gave me a non commitment contract where I can cancel at any time if need be. Love the Classes and the gym is sooo spacious . Highly reccommeded if you want to join a new gym.

Amanda Tizard A gem of a fitness place! tucked away in a small shopping centre in Putney. This gym has everything you would need plus great classes with excellent PTs and a brilliant selection of classes to choose from. If you avoid the very busy times of day its a very comfortable space to work out in - not too crowded. As a member I love that fact it feels welcoming, unpretentious and fun. The team are super lovely.

Rosie Velardi After taking a couple of years off from the gym, I was pretty nervous about getting back into it and joining a new place. Although at KDP everyone has been so supportive, welcoming and encouraging. I’ve only been going for a week but I’m already loving every moment and look forward to each session. Couldn’t recommend this gym more — such a positive and motivating environment!

Peter Jessup I first started training with Jim approximately 24 years ago. I was fortunate enough to be part of the first group to train in the original ‘garage’. I feel like this was an important time in Jim’s journey because he was obviously a very skilled martial artist and the hardest hitter I’ve ever met but having a group of willing participants gave him the opportunity to look at other styles and techniques and experiment. I feel this furtile environment added layers to the way Jim thought and approached training. There was always an aggressive edge but it certainly became more technical. We got pretty banged up, but we loved every part of it. Modern Jim’s new training approach blows me away. His technical knowledge on how the body works and how to effectively use it and understand it, is unparalleled. It can cause experienced martial artists to question their previous training but in reality it compliments everything they’ve done. Personally, training with Jim turned me into a reasonable martial artist but gave me a level of confidence I was previously lacking. It improved my daily life and contributed to personal employment achievements. It’s no coincidence that people who have trained with Jim for an extended period have had successful work careers. Jim’s concepts cross over into all sports. As a junior football coach I’m regularly applying his principles to drills and are constantly amazed at the results. Whether you are an experienced martial artist, a beginner or even just someone a bit lost and searching for something, give Jim a try. You won’t be disappointed.
