This is a very good Muay Thai club, with a strong pedigree of past and present fighters. From…read morenovice through to professional, there is a training session for everyone in the fully equipped, full time gym. With a good number of females and beginners, there is no reason not to give this a try if you are looking to get fit regardless of age, sex or current fitness level. The old saying of 'I'm not fit enough to go to a class yet,' will not wash and is quite frankly an awful excuse. There is a full sized ring, numerous punch, kick and elbow bags and plenty of long pads for partner work. The instruction is thorough and as all Thai boxing schools should be, very tough. There are several full time Muay Thai gyms in London, and I would certainly class Minotaurs as well as KO and Scorpions among the best for churning out good fighters.

It's a nice group of people and they offer quality instruction. I'm a very experienced competitor in BJJ and a rusty hobbyist/essentially a beginner in striking arts and I've found people in both classes to be pleasant and accommodating. If you live in the area, I highly recommend the place.

It does have a large car park out front but can be used by those visiting cinema and restaurants so busy periods can result in lack of spaces. Inside is modern and clean and this leisure centre boasts a large techno gym (you get a workout plan from a trainer which is programmed into a 'key' and you use that to follow your workout, a creche, a 25m swimming pool and a teaching pool, a restaurant type cafe which is conveniently looking out over the pool and a large sports hall for football, karate etc. Upstairs are the soft play area for babies and young children and the studios for aerobic type classes which take place on a daily basis.

I like how he add little add ons, such as how long it takes, but not only does he ask how long you take he says how long he takes. A great comparison! I especially liked the '12 Days of Christmas' workout that involved some tough exercises (especially on day 11/12!) but it did help me keep in shape over the Christmas break. He is a great trainer and advises people on new ways to get fit - a great way to shake up the boring fitness plan.

OK, so the thought of training at 9am on a Saturday morning doesn't appeal to most, once class with Mark and you will totally change that mentality! I went along with my mate Matt (who whilst doing star jumps was described as looking like a ballerina ha) both of us train at the gym regularly and stay pretty pretty active! So the class was 7 of us, 5 girls to us 2 boys, and we started off with a warm up, so far so good, get the bloods flowing, warm up (its a Mid January morning), a star jumps, lunges, laps, sprints, knee ups etc., Section 1: rotations on plank, press-ups, run and weights, set 1: OK, I am doing good, set 2: slowed down a tad (Mark wont let that stop me pushing myself), set 3: Mark continues to make sure none of us cut corners by motivational speaking to all of us as he notices we begin to lag! Section 2: a run carrying a canister filled with 10KG of water, carrying over my head for what felt like a mile (was actually only like 250 yards - hey I'm not a runner) Section 3: PAIR UP - so I paired up with a lovely girl named Helen and we now had to compete against another 2 girls and the team that my mate Matt was on (it goes without saying but after he kicked my ass at everything else, I was ready to kick his butt). We start the a tougher version of a leap frog constant for about 100 yards, sprint back tag your partner then do squats while they do it (Me and Helen win - YAY), Next the bear crawl, like a mountain climber cardio exercise but your actually moving, so again 100 yards there and then bear crawls back and tag your partner, then while they do it you do squats (we came second....Matt came 3rd) We then do 4 100 yards sprints, tag again and do sits up (YAY we win again) Now we go back to back with you partner and do squats, by this point I can start to feel my legs buckling under me - me and Helen are out first so as a forfeit we have to run to a nearby tree and back! Section 4: we do section 2 again to return to where we started, and I think the adrenaline has finally started to kick in as I feel like I can carry the 10kg bag back I make most of it before I need a hand, then once back we do a cool down! AND WE ARE DONE! I managed a number of gyms, for a number of years and can honestly say after having PT sessions from a number of people this was hands down one of the best exercise things I've done - Mark keeps you motivated, everyone is constantly involved, its social, and when you feel like you are about to give up someone in the group will give you a boost and you feel like you have to keep going, partially because you don't want to lose to a girl, or your mate, but mainly because you start to feel a huge sense of achievement once you have completed everything! Definitely recommend to people looking for something different, if your in an exercise rut, or just fancy trying something new for 2014!! Will most definitely be making this regular part of my routine! Great work!

Paul in particular and the really friendly and helpful members made me feel welcome and were happy to help me and had the patience to demonstrate things too. Fast forward to now and I am 22kilos lighter due to the professional expertise and advice from paul and have competed in many strong woman comps getting two 3rd places! The comradery is great with loads of encouragement and paul and members even come along and support me in the comps. I never knew I could lose all this weight, enjoy exercising and competing at the age of 48!

And I'm happy to say it's worth the drive and then some! The owner Paul is somewhat of a legend in strongman, with years of experience as a trainer, competitor and therapist and along with his wife Julie, team and regular gym members, I've seen excellent gains in strength and technique in a very short period of time and even competed already with the confidence they've instilled in me. The gym itself is more than comprehensive, I was able to practice virtually all events ahead of the day and more (with constant guidance, support and advice given throughout) - yoke, log press, farmer's walk, car deadlift, truck pull and I've only scratched the surface so far. Beyond that they have a full gym component of more traditional equipment to boot such as bench, squat rack and so on (though I've never tried them, the allure of strongman there keeps me fixed!). They also have regular event and conditioning session throughout the week to help you focus on your technique, a vital resource for understanding and progressing on each movement. So glad I found CFFP Watford and the family spirit they have there, it's ideal for first timers like me all the way up to the pros, and you'll have a laugh along the way!
