This gym has become my second home and the people in it like family.. can't speak more highly of it really!! Come join the Wass family haha!! 🤗😎Posted on LittlestHoboYazTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner and I booked a session that was on the beach. 30 people learning together and it was the best morning. Micheal is an epic coach. Even in a big class like that he gave everyone support. He creates a real safe, encouraging but also fun environment which made the experience even better. If you’re looking for somewhere to learn MMA then look no further - I couldn’t recommend more!Posted on Rebecca PearceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having trained at Wassmuffin myself and not only enjoyed being coached by the really knowledgeable coaches but also welcomed by the other members I decided to bring my son along. He's absolutely loved taking part in the classes and wants to attend regularly. I would recommend Wassmuffin to anyone no matter what your fitness level or experience is you will find there is a place for you here.Posted on sarah quinceyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael and his team are amazing people to train with. There is a real community vibe and great energy everytime you step into the gym. Everyone is welcoming and encouraging. Michael is a top human who is really passionate about what he does and it shows with his commitment and dedication to everyone in the wassamuffin community.
