The D Unit originally opened as a training facility for a local MMA fight team. Over the years it has evolved into a multifunctional training facility incorporating MMA, boxing, Thai boxing, freestyle wrestling, jiu-jitsu and fitness conditioning. Our primary goal now is as it was the first day we opened our doors to the public; to provide the best training facility we can for our local community. As no one at the gym is relying on what we do to pay their bills our only motivation is to help you achieve your training goals. This also allows us to reinvest 100% of the profit the gym makes.
We are a gym run by members for members. If you come and train at the D Unit our gym becomes your gym. We promote a relaxed, enjoyable environment for people to train in and only have one strict rule. Leave your ego at the door!
We strongly believe that you should be in control of your training and progress at a pace which you are comfortable with. No one who trains at the D Unit is expected to take part in anything that they aren’t happy to take part in. Although the majority of the classes we run are combat based it is possible to come to anyone of them and take part at a skill level only with no contact whatsoever. This allows people to learn a new skill they are interested in with minimal risk of injury. We also understand that everyone is at a different stage in their training journey. If you are a complete training novice, or if you want to train with us to complement an already advanced training programme we can cater to your needs. It’s important to us that you make the progress that you desire to but simultaneously feel as though you are in charge of your training.
