I joined 1st legion at the end of 2019, but didn't start to go to classes consistently until after new year, this is easily the best gym in Leicester! I had such anxiety about going, I'm overweight, unfit and had never even thought about going to a fighters gym. I would honestly recommend 1st legion to anyone, it's amazing! They made me feel so comfortable from the get go, everyone was so friendly, there was no judgement, I honestly couldn't of asked for anything more in a gym! I love going to 1st legion, there is so much support, the coaches are amazing and it has really really helped with the anxiety that I had around sport. The morning classes especially are great, they are smaller and more personal and everyone made me feel so comfortable! I would recommend anyone in Leicester or surrounding areas who are thinking about trying boxing, muay thai, etc joins 1st legion!

From the moment I stepped into this gym I was made welcome and I was accepted into the team with open arms.since going to this gym I have had my ups and downs with physical and mental health problems and I can honestly say from just training down there I have met some amazing people and good friends who helped me every step of the way on my journey to overcome my problems in the gym and home! If that’s not good enough reason to get down I don’t know what is but they are the number 1 team in Leicester with the best facilities I’ve seen they have professional coaches in all areas of martial arts so if your looking to get down try something new then this is the place to start!! Join the team join the family you won’t regret it !

My daughter does kids bjj here, I was really nervous to take her the first day but from the minute we walked in we felt so welcome. She has come on leaps and bounds and will never miss a class! The coaches are so loving, dedicated, and have so much passion for what they do. My daughter wants to start Muay Thai as soon as she turns 6 as she loves being there. A huge hank you to all the coaches for all their hard work!

Trained with 1st Legion for 2 years whilst studying at University. Probably one of the best gyms I've been at considering facilities, trainers, professionalism and price. Unfortunately no longer living in Leicester now otherwise would still be in there now.

Attended the womens boxing session on a Saturday with with tasha and loved it so much! the girls were friendly and the energy was amazing, tasha is a incredible coach with so much knowledge. I have also been trained 1-1 with Charlie and learnt so much.

Been training at 1st Legion for almost a year and I only have positive things to say about it. Great community with a mix of people from all backgrounds and experience levels. The coaches are top level and will bring out the best in you.

the best gym out there. The best trainers Josh, George, Jamie, Charlie, etc. Friendly family atmosphere and everyone wants to help and push you. This is a gym for ultimates and for those who want to go far in their fighting journey.

They are very friendly and prepared, and you can clearly see them passion in teaching on every level... I really love to train with theme even if it was Just my First One today, they made me feel at home.. thanky you so much !!!

Excellent coaches, training partners, facility and community. I’ve learned so much and had so many great moments in and out of the gym with the 1st legion family. Highly recommend …

Dropped in for a No-gi class today, Highly recommend this Gym. Great mat space, everywhere is clean, experienced friendly coaches, good training partners. Will be back again 100%
