It really matters when a coach makes you love the sport. Coach Mert manages that with his patience and motivating approach. While learning techniques in training, I also enjoy improving myself. You feel at ease in the gym’s warm, friendly atmosphere. Thank you to coach Mert and his team.

A really beautiful gym: a wooden building among the trees. The coaches have developed themselves and are far from the “underground boxing gym” mindset. Coach Mert gives group and private classes in fitness, calisthenics and boxing. Coach Birtan gives private and group classes in kickboxing, Muay Thai and Kempo, and both have trained young talented athletes who compete in Turkey and abroad.

First of all, it’s a clean place, and coach Mert really looks after you. He taught amazing things even to someone like me with no hand, arm and leg coordination. I definitely recommend it to everyone — if you have no boxing experience, you should definitely come here. Perfect, great classes for beginners.

The moment I walked in, I knew this wasn’t your average gym on every street corner. A bright, carefully kept space surrounded by glass, set in a garden full of trees… its order, energy and professionalism are clear from the first second. The venue is in a class of its own, but the real point is the coaches’ level. Their technique, the way they explain, their presence, the clarity of their guidance… it makes you think, “OK, these people know what they’re doing.” This isn’t training for show; it’s a genuinely solid foundation.

My attention usually wanders, but here — thanks to both the atmosphere and the coaches’ professionalism — it doesn’t slip for a single second during training. That’s exactly where the trust in coach Birtan and coach Mert comes from: what they tell you isn’t just nice in theory, it’s clear advice that works in practice.

In short: this is one of those rare places that is elite, disciplined and high-quality without trying too hard. When you leave, you don’t just think “that was a good session”; you think “yes, I’m levelling up.” A cool, professional and genuinely strong school.

A great gym that really knows its job, is disciplined and works with programmes designed for young athletes! The coaches are experienced and motivating. There’s a safe, supportive environment for young people new to sport. You make real progress in both conditioning and technique. Spotless, well organised and full of energy. I recommend it wholeheartedly!

First, I want to thank coach Mert and coach Birtan for putting up with me. I can’t say I know much about sport, but if you ask me fitness or boxing, I’d say boxing — the training is tougher and more effective. The gym is very clean and hygienic. I recommend it to everyone: instead of just looking in from outside and walking past, go in and have a chat with these kind-hearted people. Regards.
