Awesome gym. Great coaches and team atmosphere. Started out 180kgs with all sorts of health issues looking for a way out of the slump. Clinch was a good place to challenge myself fitness wise/ mental wise while learning martial arts. As … More challenging as each day is , it gets better and better as you go. After 30kgs down and to 150kgs and brighter outlook and determination built during time at ClINCH Sadly departing the gym due to family relocation. So if you're looking for a challenge , new start, something new, martial arts give CLINCH A GO.
