Well recommended , Shane showed my son how to be confident, respectful and gave him the strength to believe in himself and go for his goals in life and proof that if you put your mind to it you can get it.

By chance I came across this all womens kickboxing class and the best decision I’ve ever made was to join! The staff are lovely the sessions are great ! They challenge you to achieve your best ! I feel refreshed after every session! Not only has this improved my mental health and well-being it’s also given me the opportunity to meet some amazing people! I can’t wait to start the next journey with shane and the team. Self defence 💪🏼 and further more advanced kickboxing classes 👊🏼💥 If anyone is searching for that little boost of confidence, that little spark that triggers your health and fitness goal this is it!

Varney’s Kickboxing changed my life. I was going through a really hard time mentally and physically and these sessions helped me massively whilst learning to protect myself also. Since then… I’ve never been better! My confidence, motivation, strength and my mental health have all improved more than I could’ve imagined. I would 100% recommend anyone to Varney’s, they are an amazing team and make you realise you can do anything in life!👊🏼
