Prestige Gym Melbourne

If you are looking to learn self defence or would like to work your boxing skills up to a professional level I would look no further than Prestige Gym.Pedge is a master at his craft and will guide you step by step to your goals.I have been training at Prestige for over 2 years and counting.Highly recommend!

I've been a part of Prestige Gym since Jan 2020.The coach is not only extremely knowledgeable but also an elite fighter himself. He practices what he preaches and is damn good at it.He gives instruction tailored to what each individual needs and makes sure you improve every day. Can't ask for anything more.The facilities are clean and well maintained, the people are good natured and there to learn, lots of flexibility in the timetable and convenient location.I'd easily pay double what is asked but I'm not complaining! Training here is one of the things I look forward to the most.Great gym and grateful to be part of it

Excellent atmosphere to learn all the technical aspects of boxing as well as kickboxing/Thai boxing.The head trainer Pedge is very knowledgeable in his craft and explains technique in a clear but detailed manner. The gym is full of welcoming and encouraging members plus well looked after facilities with showers + lockers. Loved my time at Prestige Gym Melbourne and encourage others to try it out, a proper fighters gym.

I would not recommend this gym for anyone Latino or with. Disability as it’s clear the owner has no idea how to communicate with either.I sent the owner an email following up his treatment of me during the class he explained he didn’t like my attitude and I am “welcome to further explain my disability to him”When I replied to him respectfully, clearly outlining my disability, he responded to me with a lengthy email full of offensive sarcastic comments including:“It is abundantly clear from your emails that you are missing the point.”“You, like all other members, were never treated in any discriminative or disadvantaged way so despite sustaining the unfortunate injury victimising yourself is completely of this topic and unnecessary. “He has since cancelled my membership, he claims it was due to my attitude and “raising my voice” ,I never swore, threatened or was violent I simply used a tone with Pedge when I said “I’m not asking you to change the class, I have a disability” in response to him walking away from me saying “I can’t change the class for everyone”Lastly, ironically coming from a trainer who is bilingual himself . . . I’m not that confident using martial arts language in English, when I would try in the past to explain and clarify things due to a language difference he would ridicule me and be condescending. He claims they “have bilingual” people in the gym, i can confirm that there are definitely no Latinos in the gym so maybe he just doesn’t like Latin people, I’m not sure but he treated me very bad when I would try to clarify the language he was using e.g the names of kicks and punches, I’d even try to directly translate the names from Spanish and he would just ridicule me.Pedge is racist and discriminative and delayed cancelling my direct deposit for a service he refuses to provide based on my abilities.Aside from that, I’m not sure he actually has any fight experience in kickbox or Thai boxing but he seems to think that the round-house kick is the only kick that exists, he is knowledgeable in classic boxing but has no idea how to adapt the styles and criticizes techniques that even top ufc fighters used.

I've attended Prestige Gym for a few months in 2020 (the few months there were no lockdowns!).Pedge is an amazing trainer who not only helps you learn the required movements, but will also explain the bio-mechanics and science behind everything he teaches.He shows genuine interest in each of his students and gives tailored instructions to ensure you are on the right path.The gym's presentation is exceptional and professional - everything is clean and well maintained. The culture is also good - there is no ego and all the students are pleasant and there to learn.All in all, this is the best place to go if you are interested in learning fundamentals-based, technical boxing, with a head coach who knows his stuff at a great location and with a great atmosphere.

I have been pleasantly surprised by how quickly training at Prestige has improved my boxing. Having trained for a number of years, I can say that the coaching is high level, technical and tailored to whatever your ability is. The coach is invested in his students' continual improvement, and it shows in their quality. I like that there are plenty of classes to suit a busy and unpredictable schedule. Classes strike a good balance of learning, fitness and fun. Would recommend!

Highly recommended. I've been taking private lessons from Pedge for a few months now and my boxing has improved dramatically. The training is serious, very technical, and will test you, but the results are easy to see. The facilities are clean and very well maintained, and the pricing is probably the best I've seen in the Melbourne area, which is surprising given the high quality of the coaching.

I did a short tour of every boxing gym in melbourne before picking Prestige. The training is rigorous, tough, and builds champions. It isn't a fitness gym. It's a gym filled with passion for the sport and its technicalities. The coach is filled with knowledge and experience that he uses to guide you in the sport. His attention to detail will keep your technique tuned. fundamentals are key. The teammates are also all great to train with. Good people. the atmosphere is serious but fun. Come here to improve and you will

Best boxing gym in Melbourne by a long, long way. The atmosphere is great, everyone is focused and determined, but Pedge is what makes Prestige stand out. He is an incredible trainer, very straightforward, serious, and really wants to see his students succeed. My footwork has come leaps and bounds in the few months I trained here, and continues to do so as I practice what I've been taught over and over again. The gym is home to some serious talent too. Pedge is a phenomenal teacher, and despite his no-bs attitude he is a very friendly person and has fun at times. I miss Prestige already. Thank you for your help.

I would like to give 2.4 instead of full 3 but google doesn’t allow me to split a star so let’s say 3Pro.- The coach gives trainees accurate advices on how to improve skills - He does not expect trainees to learn by acting, instead he wants trainees to understand mechanisms before execution- The training session is demanding not only physically but also mentally as the coach’s instructions are specific and his expectation is somewhat overwhelming for beginners - It could be a good motivation for some trainees- Facilities/floor/change room are well maintained with good hygieneCons- As many of the previous reviewers have stated the head coach is socially inapt - ignorant, aggressive and insecure; easily became hostile/sarcastic to trainees for small mistakes and extremely unforgiving to them; he is more suitable to online masterclass instructor rather than any type of in-person business entrepreneur;- the gym is located at a bit remote area of CBDAgain, and most importantly the coach does not know how to return respect you deserve unless you earn it on top of your monthly fee. If you have a main job and you want to learn combat skills as hobby you have a wide range of selection that could better compensate your money and time.To make a long story short,1. As a combat sport expert you can easily tell the coach is very capable and disciplined.2. As a coach he can give you good advice and provide you well maintained training environment but poorly motivating trainees, if not discouraging them - mixed3. As a service provider he only knows how to humiliate the reviewers giving him one star on google mapNote to the coach:Please don’t start your conspiracy theory if you have doubt on my experience.
