Absolute MMA

Fantastic staff and great atmosphere. They offer credit in their store when you sign up so you can buy any gear you might need at the gym conveniently

This gym is great, the classes are organised, the teachers are amazing as well as the students. Lachlan and Livia have really put great effort into developing a good gym culture and it really shows. The app is very handy as well! I recommend to anyone who is a little intimidated to start BJJ, this is the place for you. There are many women who train here as well.

I was really uncomfortable at the city location. I was training to fight at a reputable gym in Mexico this time last year and unfortunately suffered an accident and now suffer from a disability in my hand. With a lot of resilience and determination I returned to training and have been working really hard to adapt to my new abilities. When I came for a booked trial, initially they were trying to send me away as they wouldn’t have space in the gym for me to do the sequences on the bag, I’m not really sure why it would take up more room training on a bag than with a partner, my distance is the same whatever I’m training with. . I was persistent with them and they eventually let me train but then while I was in the class, what other trainers would normally do is help me adapt the sequences to my abilities/bag work which only takes a moment of their time or at the least check up on me once or twice in the class, as you would with fully abled students. The trainer didn’t speak to me the whole class, when I reconfirmed a sequence he didn’t even really bother to show me he just kind of very briefly told me and moved on to help other students. It takes a lot of courage to come back after an accident and start from zero again and I found my experience disheartening and uncomfortable.Anyway, I will haven’t found an MMA gym and it’s really sad to be missing out o training, I was training twice a day, doing three personal sessions a week in my old gym but I feel hesitant and uncomfortable in the mma culture here in australia from my first experience and hoping this isn’t how all mma gyms work here, disappointing from a country that has many reputable fighters.They have recently responded to my review, I have legitimately reported it and ironically requested “an apology” for the discrimination I received. I have it all in writing their responses including when the person I was discussing the issue with went to my Facebook page and started screenshot ring things from my Facebook page trying to humiliate me saying I was “lying” about my disability, which is in my medical records. I unfortunately did have a similar situation at another gym and was “banned” in response to explaining my disability, not in response to “my behavior” which is also all in writing. At no point have I sort financial compensation, I am genuinely just looking for a good gym and to be treated with respect, I have trained offshore for years. I have reported the matters to the appropriate body in order to prevent other people with. Disability trying the sport being subject to the same discrimination.

Awesome, well organised gym with great facilities and world class instructors

I am starting bjj as a complete noob, the staff and members at Absolute have all been very friendly and helpful. The free trial and intro classes really help as stepping stones.I love coming here to train and widening the horizons of my fitness goals!

Training at Absolute MMA is a really great and fun experience. The people that trains here are very friendly and will ensure you will learn and improve at a very great place. People are encouraged to make each other learn. There is no other MMA gym that I would like to train at as Absolute MMA does makes you feel like home.
