When I first visited East London Boxing Club I was almost too nervous to go in! Some metal stairs in an alleyway next to an overground station, led to a closed door. Would people be friendly? I had never been in a boxing gym in my life! I decided to just have a look and see! That was two years ago and I now go between 2 and 3 times a week - and it is an amazing place that I am always glad to visit. I have run marathons, climbed, and done lots of fitness activities - but boxing fitness is something else! I have never worked so hard. Fayaz and the other coaches know just how much to push - which is often just that but further than you think you can manage yourself. The atmosphere is so welcoming - I shouldn't have worried as I first climbed those steps - and I genuinely feel I am among friends when I train - even if they are friends who sometimes try and hit me!

“I look back on my life and divide into two periods, before I came to the Boxing Gym and after I came to the Boxing Gym. If you asked me who one of my best trainers has ever been, I’d say without hesitation that it was Sedat. His care and guidance have taken me to an all new high. The various things he’s taught me have been enlightening and enjoyable despite their rather banal nature. He’s pushed me to the limit and beyond in every session and I thank him every time. The music, the atmosphere, the people and the encouragement I receive turn what could be a rather boring and monotonous workout into a thoroughly enjoyable training sessions.

” Training with Sedat as my coach has made a huge difference to my boxing. I am now faster,fitter and stronger than ever. I am confident in my own ability and I’m looking forward to competing in the ring soon.”

“The personal training sessions I’ve been doing at the club are amazing. The feeling you get from the club can’t be described in anything less than in a highly positive manner. Each time I train with him, he inspires me beyond any generic self-help or ‘YOU CAN DO IT’ infomercial. The challenge he provides helps me in so many ways and I notice that my fitness only improves every time. The flexibility and availability also couldn’t be anything less than a godsend, he’s so wonderful and one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. Just don’t get in the ring with him; you’ll be lucky to last 10 seconds.”

“I achieve more results in the hour I spend with Sedat then if I spent all week at my local gym. I have more fun, better results and ultimately, greater fitness all because of the dedication Sedat puts into each session I have with him. He’s the only guy I’d ever train with and for good reason, he’s the best. You can’t go wrong and he’ll treat you right.”
