End of year appreciation post:

I just wanted to take some time out to say a massive thank you to everyone who has passed through our doors this year! You’ve been made a difficult year a lot easier, and you’ve helped me more than you could know.

This was a gift from my best man, it’s put together from all of the testimonials we have received from our clients this year, to see it all laid out like this makes me feel really lucky, I’m so grateful for the life that I have, no matter how many hurdles are put in our path.

I have to give special thanks to .varty for being my first black belt, thoroughly deserved to a talented kick-boxer and a servant of Kickstart Kickboxing.

Also special thanks to for helping me reimagine what this club could be, supporting each other’s enterprises and supporting each other as friends has been one of the highlights of my year and I can’t thank her enough.

Lastly I have to thank my partner in crime, business and life. It’s not easy running a gym during this time, there are many ups and downs, but she has been a rock, she just keeps believing in this whole thing even when I don’t, thank you.

Here’s to another year of navigating restrictions, smashing goals and learning something new!

Catch you in the New Year,

Scott ✌️

💚 MEET THE GREEN TEAM 💚

Meet Spencer 👋 I’m sure you’ve seen him on our socials quite a bit 🥊

For Spencer Kickstart has allowed him to shift his focus in regards to training 👇

“I’ve been at kickstart nearly a year now. However, I have had previous training in my late teens in Muay Thai.

Kickboxing for me is a breathe of fresh air. I am a naturally smaller guy and have spent over 10 years in a gym environment chasing an ‘Arnold Physique.’ This lead to me being overweight and unhealthy chasing heavy lifts.

Kickboxing has taken away the obsession of big muscles and focusing on everyone else but myself. This actually led to a stint of depression through body dysmorphia.

It’s allowed me to build up cardiovascular fitness which has given me a new wave of confidence and I am now at a more natural weight and not overeating on a daily basis.

I am now more focused on improving my kickboxing skills more than trying to look like a Mr Olympia and this has really levelled me out.

Kickstart is a fun, safe place to train. The club is still young but really starting to pick up popularity fast.

Scott is an ex British kickboxing champion so you know you’re being taught correct techniques. He is also fantastic at pushing you to improve every session, but not in a drill sergeant way.

The sparring classes recently introduced are controlled and there is no alpha male macho characters that intimidate newer starters.

If you’re training isn’t making you feel like it should and you’re looking for a change, I can’t promote Kickstart enough.”

Mental Health & Sport - Noticing the signs in our students

Scott’s written a blog about mental health in students & how coaching goes beyond teaching a sport & skill 👇

“One of the hardest things as a coach is noticing how people are feeling. It’s something I try to concentrate on as much as I can because of my own struggles. The reason it is difficult is that usually you are coaching a physical activity, and to do it properly, you kind of have to be looking at the physical aspects of the activity.

Not everyone wears their heart on their sleeve and this can be challenging as a coach because sometimes you can’t intuitively understand whether someone is frustrated, confused or even annoyed at a range of different things.

But this is usually the only time as coaches we really take notice of what’s going on inside someone's head when it relates to the moment, the thing we are doing at the time.

So what can we do to monitor the meta situation so we don’t end up with the dreaded “I had no idea” realisation? I’m not a professional, but I am certainly an expert through personal experience, so here are some of my ideas.”

Meet Bobby 👋

For Bobby Kickstart has provided a safe space to train

“I’ve been with kickstart for over a year (I think) but that's including lockdown months. Kickboxing has proved essential for both my physical and mental health.

I notice new developments in my physical health every session and it's the perfect way to release any and all tension.

Kickstart has created a welcoming and safe atmosphere from the start thanks to the provision of afab (assigned female at birth) classes in small numbers which has made me feel super comfortable very fast.

Scott has been super approachable throughout and is just a motivation MACHINE.”

We love hearing your reasons for training at Kickstart 💪

We also have a VERY exciting BLACK FRIDAY SALE …

Anyone who books a (free) trial session by MIDNIGHT tomorrow gets their first month at Kickstart half price!!
