When my son Essa first started at SBG, he was just 15 and understandably a bit nervous since everyone else was an adult. But the trainers—Simon, Josh, Paddy, Chris, and the whole team—welcomed him right in. It's not only a fantastic, family-oriented place where both males and females can train in MMA, Jiu-Jitsu, and more, but it’s also a very safe environment. There hasn’t been a single day he hasn’t wanted to go, and we attend as many sessions as we can. He has nothing but great things to say about everyone there, and we can definitely see him continuing for years to come. We can’t recommend SBG enough!

Unfortunately, I didn't receive the same welcome as a lot of the reviews. Booked a trial (which unlike other places is £5, not free). Signed a waiver and pointed in the direction of the changing room. Not one person greeted or welcomed me, nor did the coach. Considering its a paid trial, pretty poor. A very different experience from where I used to go in Glasgow. The Manchester search continues!

Really friendly group of guys and girls, great instructions and easy to follow along. They offer classes/sessions for beginners to advanced to pros and have an excellent system to upskill those who want to compete or improve their practice. Thanks Simon, Chris, and the whole team for being so accommodating over these last few months - I would see myself training here forever if I didn’t have to move, and many people come just to visit! A real testament to the gyms ethos and openness. Would recommend anyone to give any class a go - you won’t regret it!

I stopped by SBG Manchester while visiting from the states. The gym is very clean and well-maintained. It’s welcoming to anyone regardless of experience or goals. I would highly recommend to anyone in Manchester or anyone visiting. Thanks fellas!! Oss!
