MOST PEOPLE STOP WHERE IT STARTS TO MATTER

"I started training with Stefan in January, initially looking for the mental benefits that come with consistent training. What I found has been so much more. From the beginning, he has taken the time to understand both my physical needs and, where appropriate, my mental wellbeing, shaping each session in a way that feels supportive but still challenges me to grow.

Stefan has helped build my confidence enormously and pushes me in ways that feel right for me personally. The training is always thoughtful and tailored, which makes him unique to other boxing gyms and coaches. Over time, kickboxing has become something central in my life. Beyond the mental benefits, I feel more energetic,
and my cardio has improved massively.

Training with Stefan has also had a ripple effect in other areas of my life. It has strengthened my drive and discipline far beyond the gym. I’m incredibly grateful for his guidance and the environment he creates. I always feel listened to, supported, and as a female fighter, genuinely respected. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough."

"I have now been working with Stefan for 6 months on average twice a week and have improved infinitely from where I started. 

There is a methodical approach to his teaching and you almost get better without noticing. Stefan explains things in a number of different ways so that you can understand.

He keeps a great dialogue going outside of training hours as well including answering questions, sending videos, critiquing my shadow boxing/sparring videos, and making sure I’m on top of my shadow boxing practice and stretching! You can tell he cares and wants to get the best from you."

"Most empathetic fighting coach I've met. He’s attentive to details, which helps you understand the core of each movement and build your technique in an inductive way — from the specific to the general.

Stefan is very clear in his explanations, but what I loved even more is that when you don’t grasp something through words or can’t quite feel the movement, he quickly identifies where you’re stuck and finds a unique way to show and explain it to you.

And he’s patient. You feel comfortable making mistakes around him. There’s no pressure or judgment; Stefan allows you to learn at your own pace and provides support along the way." 

"I've been training with Stefan for three months now, and I can confidently say he's the best boxing coach I could wish for. 

He is really knowledgeable personal trainer and pays attention to even the smallest details. Even when I try to cheat or take shortcuts, he somehow catches it! From my toe positioning to elbow alignment, he notices every little detail.

After each session, I find myself pushed beyond my limits and proud of what I just did! Sure, I will tell Stefan that I don't like him after every exhausting session, but truth be told, it's those sessions and the feeling of surpassing my own expectations that keep me hooked and eager for the next one!"

"I suffered a health set back in March 2019 and my health pretty much deteriorated as a result. So I was wanting to learn the basics of boxing and get back into fitness.

When I contacted Stefan in March 2022, I had conversations with a couple of other highly reviewed instructors but I found that I immediately connected with Stefan. He was receptive into finding out what I was looking to get out of it and he came across sincere and enthusiastic - basically it was clear that he cared from the first phone call.

As I progressed with Stefan, I enjoyed the sessions more and more and looking back on the progress I’ve made over the past year, it’s great to see. The point being, Stefan has been instrumental in my progress. He has gone above and beyond in terms of helping me get my technique very good, keep on top of me, improve my stamina. My passion for boxing has reached a whole new level!" 

"I've been re-writing this review over and over as trying to find the right words to do justice is very difficult.

Firstly, he is incredible at what he does, his way of teaching is easy to understand, he is very knowledgeable and really helps you build your skills where you can feel and see the difference. I felt so at ease with him, there was no judgement and he took his time to really understand what I wanted to get from his sessions and what he could give me in return.

Most importantly for me, was that he really cares about you, your wellbeing and your development. I found this really refreshing and something I haven't easily come across when taking classes like this.

He is like family, a brother who you can punch but won't hit you back properly, it's great!! I got a lot of time for Stefan and I couldn't recommend him enough."
