I attend body max classes which are brilliant for all types of fitness. Kire is a brilliant trainer,and makes sure you have the correct form. Body max classes rotate,so it's variable and enjoyable so you're not constantly doing the same exercise routines...this makes it fun. I'd highly recommended Panthers. More...

Our son has been coming here for around 8 months. I cannot recommend Panthers enough. Since coming here we have found an extended family through both the children and their families. Our son has made a lot of wonderful memories that will go with him for the rest of his life. The classes are well structured and each child is recognised for their individual skills and abilities. We have looked at other local clubs and we believe, that by far, we have chosen the best Academy for our son More...

Panther’s is a fantastic, independent martial arts academy that gives you so much more value for money than the usual corporate outfits. I have been attending the BodyMax fitness classes for over a month now and I am very impressed with the level of expertise Kire and his team offer.Initially, I was nervous about getting back into fitness after giving birth to my daughter earlier this year, but Kire and the gang have been extremely supportive. Panthers is very much a child-friendly establishment, where I am able to safely bring my daughter, whilst I get back into shape. The exercise plan is unique and in many respects, tailored to each individuals needs. Every time I go, there is always a different workout to try, so you certainly don’t get bored along the way! I can see a long and happy future for me at Panthers, as I believe it gives you so much more than just improved fitness. More...

This is an amazing place its not just a club its a second family. My daughter has been with the club for a little while now and since she has been going i have seen a big improvement in her, she had no self worth and suffers from a mental health illness but her sensai, Kire Antowski, has helped her so much. Its not just about her kickboxing, which has improved so much in such a short time, it is about who she is and what she needs. Kire spends time with my daughter helping her to build her self esteem back and shows her how to manage her emotions which helps with her everyday life. This guy is a god send to me as i know my daughter is in very safe hands. We also have booked him for private lessons which helps improve all aspects of her life, he talks to her and she him, which is something she usually doesn't do, he goes at her pace with no pressure and im already seeing an improvement in her after just her first private lesson. This club and its members are so welcoming no matter your age is , its fun as well as challenging and if anyone is struggling every member makes them feel at home. I cannot praise this club enough so if your looking for somewhere to take your child or even go yourself then this is the place to go, ive tried other clubs and they do not come anywhere close to here, my daughter will be with them for many more years to come. Thank you kire for everything you do and keep on doing. xx More...

Incredibly knowledgeable Sensi,I joined PMAA for the bodymax fitness class.Throughout the workout he explains in depth what muscles you are toning and how it is improving your physique and fitness,He gave me one to one guidance on what exercise's would benefit me most to achieve the results i wanted,I felt results with in three 1 hour sessions and began to notice real results after just 2 months of going 3 times a week(Much faster than what i had experienced at the previous gym's i have attended over the years). There is a great atmosphere, all class members are really friendly,helpful and all ages men & women of very different abilities,We even have an annual trip to the beach which is optional where we have a workout on the beach and a meal afterwards which is great fun and a good team building experience,Also a Christmas party!PMAA is highly recommended.

A few months ago, it became apparent that my son’s confidence wasn’t quite as high as I’d like it to be. He dropped out of Rugby, a sport that he’d loved for years and his teacher shared that his attitude in class had started to become quite negative. He’s due to start secondary school in September, so I started to research ways that I could help him improve his confidence, in order to get him ready for what will be quite a big change in his life. I contacted Sensei Kire, who couldn’t have been more supportive and helpful. My son now receives 1:1 training with him and the change in him has been staggering, already. His attitude in class has improved massively and his overall approach to life is much more positive.Sensei Kire is great at motivating him and keeps a note of his progress so my son is aware of his achievements. He really looks forward to the class each week and even though, he’s worked hard, he absolutely loves it!All in all, couldn’t recommend more! I am so thankful for the work that Sensei Kire has put into my son... I’ve got my happy, funny boy back! More...

I joined Panthers 3 years ago to improve my overall level of fitness which had declined markedly after many years of not doing much exercise! Kiri works with me on a one-to-one basis and I also join in with a public class. I worried that I wouldn't cope with a martial arts gym but private lessons mean the exercise is tailored to my requirements and Kiri is excellent at gauging my limits. Joining in with the public class means I get to meet like-minded people and have fun in a group. I would highly recommend Panthers to anyone who, like me, remembers a time when they were fitter and who wants to recover their erstwhile ability. More...

I am having personal training sessions at panthers martial arts academy with Kire Antoski. I have been told for years that I needed surgery on my knees due to frequent dislocation, so I sought advice from Kire to see if there was an alternative. I have been attending for two years now and have been a year pain free and 20 months free from dislocation. As an added bonus my fitness levels are higher than they have ever been and my body is gaining muscle and losing fat. I can’t recommend panthers highly enough.

Great training is provided here. Full of good energy. The fitness programs and exercises are great and dramatically improve your fitness, strength and shape. The martial arts classes are run very well, whether you are there to fight or to learn something new, for fitness or for self defence this Dojo has it all. The bodymax classes are intense, but you are able to work at your own pace, but you will be pushed harder if that's what you want.Kire can also help with injuries or diet plans depending on what your goal is. Perfect for families too, and both the trainers are great with kids! Overall a very friendly and very good centre that i highly recommend. More...
