Amazing 👌🏻
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 🙏
Amazing place.
Mila has been coming for about a month to help improve her strength alongside her gymnastic and trampoline clubs. She absolutely loves it. So much for the kids to have a go at! Thank you!
Amazing place
I went today with 8 year old , he was so nervous , after 5 min he was off lol. ,,, the instructors are amazing , the facility is amazing , I’m so glad that I found this place , it’s so cheap, we got way more than our moneys worth today . My kid absolutly loved it .
Amazing club
My 2 boys have tried and tested many clubs and this is by far their favourite! Liam is great with the kids and spends time coaching them, helping them progress.
I’ve never seen them work so hard while having fun They love it! ☺️
Amazing classes
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! 💪🏻
Brilliant confidence builder!
My little girls confidence has come on leaps and bounds since attending.
Great for the kids strength and fitness physically but also mentally.
Liam makes it fun for the kids and something they look forward too.
Little ninjas
Amazing gym for children , lovely staff , my son loved his time he spent there .
Amazing
Brilliant for kids. My son loves his Tuesdays!
Youth classes
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!
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!!
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! 💪
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 💫
Brilliant for teens
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!
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
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.
Unique training for school rugby team
Liam gave members of team a unique training session at Behind Bars. The boys really enjoyed it and they had the opportunity to participate in a variety of challenges
Would highly recommend for any school / youth groups for a challenging environment
Strength, Resilience, and Growth
It was amazing to see how Liam engaged with the students to build confidence and ability. The students were fully engaged for the full session and really enjoyed the experience.
Growing Confidence Through Support
More focused and driven towards goals
Supporting Mental Health Through Exercise
Attitudes changed. Behaviour in school has gone alot better. Confidence from the students has perked up. Stopped using illegal substances so they could train properly.
