It's difficult to put into words what two people and their gym have done for my life and family. I joined Chokdee after a long and debilitating depression which had kept me off work for 12 weeks. I couldn't function properly as a mum and myself and my daughter were really starting to suffer and life was pretty horrible.

Brilliant place, just took my little boy for his first class. He loved it and can't wait to go again. Rich is fantastic with the kids. Engaging and professional. Jo really welcoming. Facilities are top class and very clean. Will be recommending to others.

Great Gym with great support and effort with all involved. Super impressed with all of the stuff they have in place to support with Covid 19 but to allow members back in safely and to encourage positive physical and mental health! Jo and Rich are a massive credit to the gym and all involved and the continuous effort they put in at every hurdle they face does not go unnoticed. Well done guys and a big thank you from the Thompson family xxxx

My two boys have been members at Chokdee now for nearly three years. Throughout lockdown the gym put on some fantastic online classes which were open to all the family. They really had a positive effect on our fitness and wellbeing. Now the gym has reopened we have no concerns about our boys being back training. Jo and Rich have put all the necessary safety measures and procedures in place in a very professional manner, without compromising the training experience that the gym is well known for. Highly recommend, give them a try.🙌

Chokdee is amazing! They looked after us during Lock Down and now they are back open everything is first class! Jo works tirelessly to make sure everything is COVID-19 safe, it’s spotless clean and due to the limited class sizes there’s plenty of room to keep to distancing measures but it doesn’t take away any enjoyment! It’s a lifeline to my son! He would move in if he was allowed! Do yourself a favour and join up today for a Gym that really cares about you! 👌

Outstanding gym, immaculately clean and excellent equipment. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxed and everyone gets about their business in the same way. Very welcoming, you’re immediately made to feel at home. Very reminiscent of gyms in Thailand, one big family approach and it works! The star of the show is the lovely Simba, she gives you a wonderful welcome and keeps Rich, Jo, Joe and everyone else in line. Khàawp khun 🇹🇭

Speaking specifically from a Brazilian Jui Jitsu perspective, this is a superb place to train.
First of all, the atmosphere is very welcoming and you'll soon find yourself feeling right at home.
The coaching staff are excellent and patient, plus the support you get from more experienced students is great. You also get access to the wider Combat Base UK network which hold regular seminars at the gym. Special mention should also go to the international level wrestling coaching by Ian C which is extremely rare in the UK.
A full class schedule in a clean, well equipped gym with plenty of open mat
