When you walk into Function first you would not expect it to be a martial arts gym; it is so welcoming and family orientated and designed for everyone of any: ability, age or gender. The trainers are absolutely fantastic and really put you through your paces and push you and give you that extra burst you didn't even know you had. Being a girly girl I was absolutely terrified of being hit in the face or even walking into a gym! But I was made to feel so chill about the whole situation and 8 weeks on I will take a punch and give 3 back! Not only has Function First helped me on my physical journey, but I have been on a great mental one aswell. My complete mindset has changed; from being a big binge drinker on the weekend, to prioritising fitness and health. Thank you so so much Function First and all of your team for being great coaches, not only on the mats but in life too. More...

Ive had an amazing time the past 8 weeks training at function first with Dom, Stuart and Matt. Never done any contact sport or boxing before and was really nervous when i started the training. But with the discipline and patience and above all the dedication these guys put into training people is one of the best experiences ive had the pleasure of being apart of to take part in a great event. Dont think id have the confidence or the capabilities to take part without the training and guidance ive had from all of the guys and will be recommending to everyone i know interested in doing the sports they teach and train for. Thankyou Dom, Stuart, Matt for yout time and training More...

Theres a family feel that is apparent at this gym. A clear love of what they do is obvious . They ensure the whole room understand what they're doing and have enough trainers to support you when needed. They make you realise that your boundaries are a little further away than you thought and push you way beyond what you think you're capable of. More...

A great gym, excellent Staff and high quality training.The Coaches do a great job of building you up from scratch and getting you ready for whatever it may be you intend on training towards. Plus the Cryotherapy they offer is an amazing recovery tool which has you bouncing back after a hard session feeling on top of the world with any aches and pains greatly reduced.Would highly recommend!

At 39 it's been a long time since I did any sort on exercise like this(uwcb) , but I love it, it's a fantastic atmosphere at the gym, the guys running it are always happy to help with any questions or tips, it's a real family vibe, and they all push to get the very best out of youThe equipment is 1st class and the training g is done in such a way that even the most inexperienced feels comfortable having a go, I for one highly recommend the place and the guys running it, keep up the great work teamJust in the very short time I've been going I've noticed a huge change in both body and mind

A warm and welcoming environment from the moment you walk in. All members of staff are knowledgeable and helpful with any queries. The Equipment is both state of the art as well as reasonably priced for usage likewise staff will explain the benefits of usage or even from booking classes. You’ll be fully informed but never pressured to part with your cash. All age size genders are catered for in a fully inclusive gym this is not A typical fighters gym. The only thing they require from you is commitment and a willingness to learn. Which when you see the effort put in to every single class or session from the Function First Team you can understand why. More...

Currently training here for white collar boxing event, being such a personal reason to take on this event the coaches are fantastic. They are dedicated to the sport and training complete newbies in a motivating and safe environment. The atmosphere is intense but in the best way they encourage you to achieve and push yourself past your own expectations. They offer excellent advice and just quality coaching. Thanks guys. More...

After being accepted at the ripe age of 40 to compete in an UWCB event I couldn’t wish for a better place to train than function first Lincoln. Dom, Stu, Matt, Ash and Ben have been absolutely excellent throughout , when I say excellent I actually mean they have pushed me to literally breaking point.... blood sweat and nearly tears. You really don’t know how unfit you are until you meet these guy. Thank you each and everyone of you for the fitness and experience. Looking forward to fight night on 08/12/19 More...

I signed my son up to the Vipers classes 18 months ago. Within a week I got the itch to have a go at Kickboxing myself and have loved it ever since. Everyone leaves their ego at the door, and it’s immediately clear the whole team are massively passionate about what they do and make you feel instantly welcome - I’ve worked in the fitness industry for years and know how hard it is to consistently do this. I’ve been very uncoordinated all my life and I unfortunately passed that down to my son as well, but Dom and Stu have really taken their time with both of us and allowed us to develop at our own pace. My son had always disliked each sport he tried (and we got him to try A LOT), but Function First is the one place he enjoys training at twice a week, every week. Highly recommend! More...

Function first is absolutely brilliant and we’re so happy we found it for Our 5 year old. Gerry loves little vipers and he will get us to practise with him at least once a day now. He has learnt so much not just in technique but also attitude, behaviour management and confidence. All staff are friendly and helpful and make us feel welcome. The coaches and assistants are excellent with the children within the lessons, giving lots of help and support throughout. Highly recommended! Gerry’s proudest moment was getting his first belt.

I have had the privilege of training at Function First for a total of nearly four months total in classes, individual privates and also group sessions. Words cannot describe how motivated, supported and looked after I’ve felt in this gym- not to mention how much I’ve learnt in such a short period of time. The coaches at Function First will treat you like family and teach you everything you need to know whatever it is you’re looking for and will do it all with a smile on their face, ensuring you not only learn loads but enjoy doing it!I would highly recommend the Function First gym to anyone looking to start a martial art or continue in one, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Matt, Stu and Dom for everything! IN SHORT:The facilities are amazing and the instructors are alright once you get past the crazy (and their obsession with Roxanne- whoever she is...)?

I signed up to the Ultra White Collar Boxing at Function First. I've been training there just short of 7 weeks and i've not regretted a single moment of it. Matt, Dom & Stu have been incredibly supportive and really help you build on your strengths and weaknesses. (Even when there are 60+ people on the mats, which is damn impressive to see). After training here for the boxing event, I'll be looking to sign on to do more training as its been an unforgettable experience. Can't rate this place highly enough! More...

Kristian Clark here.For a long time I have been meaning to get into boxing and I've never committed and started the training. I have been to watch two white collar events and I thought signing up to this would be perfect to kick start my training. Your free sessions are located here at function first. It has been the best decision I have ever made. The staff are incredible and so patient and understanding and take as much time as you need. They will go at whatever pace you are comfortable with. I enjoyed it so much within the first two weeks of training I was already booked in extra boxing sessions and started kettle bell training. I would reccomend this place to anyone I now officially have the bug and will continue this after the white collar event. I leave every session having learnt so much more and with a smile on my face because as well learning you feel part of the group. I have not only found myself expert trainers I have found myself friends and for that I can't thank you guys enough.Keep up the good work and I can't wait to be back on the mats. More...
