About K2 Gym
Everything you need to train properly. Nothing you don't.
A performance gym and martial arts centre built with intention, not compromise.
Combat sports you can trust
Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Kickboxing and Wrestling, all trained at competition level here. Mark Thomas has been coaching martial arts for 20+ years. Whether you're stepping on a mat for the first time or preparing for your next fight, you'll get proper technique, not just a workout.
Equipment chosen for results
Every machine on the floor was hand-picked for performance. Plate-loaded, competition dumbbells, heavy isolation. Equipment used at the highest levels of bodybuilding, in a gym that won't make you queue for it.
Beginner to advanced. Genuinely.
You don't need experience to walk in. Coaches will look after you from day one, and classes run from kids as young as 4 through to competitive fighters and lifters. Every level trains here, and none of them will make you feel out of place.
No hidden anything
We keep things simple: no joining fee, no pushy sales team, no overcomplicated memberships. Day passes, week passes, monthly, annual. Come once or come every day. The price is exactly what it says.
Classes & training
Over 14 classes a week. Find yours.
From your first session to your next competition, there's a place for you on the mat or the floor.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Gi and No-Gi. Beginner to competitor.
BJJ is ground-based grappling: positional control, submissions, and technique over strength. K2 runs both Gi and No-Gi sessions including a dedicated kids program from age 4. No experience needed for the beginner classes. Mark Thomas has been coaching BJJ for 20+ years and many students compete across the UK, though competing is never required.
Complete beginners, kids (from 4 years old), experienced grapplers, competitive fighters.
Boxing
Technique, fitness, and real sparring.
Boxing sessions cover footwork, combinations, bag work and controlled sparring. Whether you're after fitness through pad work or want to develop genuine ring skills, the sessions cater to both. Equipment is Fairtex and competition standard.
Total beginners through to experienced boxers.
Kickboxing / Muay Thai
Stand-up striking with full technique.
Kickboxing and Muay Thai use punches, kicks, knees and elbows, one of the most complete striking systems you can learn. K2 also offers a 4-week intro kickboxing course, ideal if you want to try it out before committing to regular classes.
All levels. Intro course ideal for first-timers.
Kids Martial Arts
Building confidence from age 4.
Structured martial arts sessions for children from 4 years old, taught by experienced coaches in a safe and supportive environment. Kids develop discipline, coordination and confidence, without it needing to be serious or intimidating.
Children from 4 years old, all experience levels.
MMA Course
A full introduction to mixed martial arts.
A structured 5-week course (10 sessions, Mon and Fri 5-6pm) covering the fundamentals of MMA: striking, takedowns, and ground work. Ideal for beginners who want an all-round introduction or fighters looking to add new dimensions to their game.
Beginners and fighters adding MMA cross-training.
Primal Movement
Move better. Train harder.
Primal Movement focuses on mobility, functional patterns and movement quality, the training that makes everything else feel easier. Sessions are coached by Madison Froning and complement strength training, martial arts and any other sport.
Anyone wanting to improve movement quality, flexibility, and functional strength.
Rucking
Train outside. Build real capacity.
Group rucking sessions take the training outdoors with weighted packs. Low-impact, high-return cardio that builds endurance, posture and mental toughness. Just a short walk from the beach and local transport, so the routes are worth the effort.
Anyone wanting group cardio and outdoor conditioning.
The gym
Built with intention. Ready when you are.
Every space at K2 is designed around how serious people actually train.

She just wanted to stick with it
Carrie joined K2 mid-way through a weight loss journey she had already committed to. She had been doing well for six months and just wanted to make sure she stuck to it. She picked up a day pass, walked up the stairs above Newquay Kitchen Studios, and found exactly what she was looking for: a proper gym without the intimidation.
Six months later she is a regular. No contract forced her to come back. She just kept coming.
“I have been on a weight loss journey for 6 months now and I have done really well so I wanted to make sure I stuck to it.”
Carrie Smith, K2 member
