Amazing πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

26 September 2025

Behind Bars is great! My son, who is autistic and non-verbal, has been attending for around 3 months. We’ve tried many groups that weren’t SEND-specific and often struggled, but the coach here is patient, kind, and genuinely inclusive. His supportive and understanding approach creates a safe, non-judgmental space where children with SEND can feel comfortable, regulate, and grow in confidence. Watching my son so happy and content doing what he loves has been amazing, and we are so thankful for what he does and what the gym offers . Couldn’t recommend it more!

The best around!

My son has been attending Little Ninjas weekly for a while now and when I say he absolutely loves it, that’s an understatement! There’s so much to do, Liam is always putting out new activities and challenges to work their brain and keep them determined to achieve their best, which is perfect for my son who has ADHD! Liam is always there to offer support when needed. The physical, mental and attitude changes in my son are so rewarding to see! We are looking forward to many more years attending Little Ningas!

Amazing setting with everything the kids need!

My son, who is ADHD and ASD comes our of school needing an outlet and Little Ninjas has proved to be the perfect place. Liam is really patient and gives lots of positive praise alongside great coaching and my son is able to hang, swing and climb in a safe environment. We’ve tried so many places and he’s got overwhelmed or not wanted to return. But every week he’s excited to attend 2 or 3 times. Amazing place for the kids and highly recommended πŸ™

Amazing classes

23 June 2025

I absolute love how the classes have helped my grandson. His focus has improved so much. But most of all he is able to see his own progress and strength. And this gives him the motivation to improve. He asks Liam how he can get calves like grealish and six pack like Ronaldo. Liam inspires him so much and it’s so wonderful to see. For a kid that wouldn’t go to any classes or groups he absolutely loves little ninjas. Thank you Liam

Amazing Facility

Behind Bars has been a godsend for my daughters confidence. The volunteers do fantastic work with all the kids, which must be difficult considering varying ages and abilities. If I was to suggest one improvement, it would be to add to the number of volunteers during large Little Ninja classes, but I appreciate how challenging it must be to find volunteers with appropriate experience and qualifications. Keep up the amazing work guys; the kids are improving every week! πŸ’ͺ🏻

Youth classes

6 March 2025

At such an impressionable age of 15 this gym has brought about and instilled confidence in my son

He has developed skills and found new strengths in areas he thought he was lacking

I would recommend this gym to any parent who wants their teenager to progress and grow in a positive way

Free exercise for young people!

6 March 2025

My son has been coming to the Academy for a while now. He is so much more confident than he was and has made new friends. With public services and youth centres in a state, programmes like these are increasingly important to keep kids off the streets.

What an Incredible place!!

23 February 2025

Liam and the team have done incredible work with my son, educated him on healthy foods, the right ways to exercise. Made him feel so welcome. Everyone is so friendly. My son now enjoys exercise and looks forward to attending his next session.

My son has dyspraxia and would often struggle with basic things other children can easily do. The team would encourage him and show him alternative techniques for him to never feel left behind. I can’t thank you all enough, amazing!!!

Outstanding! πŸ’ͺ

Behind bars is unbelievable and goes above and beyond for our youths, not only keeping them fit but also helping keep them safe off the streets with a more positive outlook on life πŸ’«

Brilliant for teens

22 February 2025

My son looks forward to the teens session all week. Great gym. The kids are given lots of encouragement to develop their individual abilities. Thanks Liam for giving your time and expertise. These sessions are invaluable to help develop our young people, both in terms of fitness and self-esteem (and to help keep them out of trouble too)

Excellent facility!

14 May 2025

Our school primarily caters for young people with additional needs, and this facility was an amazing addition to our timetable. The staff make a concerted effort to identify the strengths of each student, which is often a key factor for young people starting their fitness journeys.

Supporting our youngsters

19 February 2025

We are an alternative provision looking after youngsters with different needs. This space was safe, Liam is someone our youngsters looked up to, and he lad by example.

Our youngsters got to enjoy and learn different aspects of the gym.

I can only recommend anyone to utilise this space and also Liam.
