Function First Martial Arts and Fitness - Lincoln

Jamie Foxall

We’ve been attending Function First for about three years, and it has been a truly welcoming environment for our son. The support and encouragement he’s received have done wonders for his confidence, fitness, and discipline. It’s been incredible to see his growth, both physically and mentally, thanks to the dedicated team at Function First. Highly recommend it to any parents looking for a positive, structured, and motivating experience for their children.

I’ve been here for over a year starting with 1 on 1s with Dom and then moving onto the group classes. I’m very happy that we have access to such a great club in Lincoln, and everyone involved in making it run are great! Everyone from Rebecca at reception to the coaches (Dom, Ash & Matt) are incredibly friendly and supportive. Even the other students in the classes are very compassionate to new people! They will truly push you to your limits and you’ll be better for it. I’ve loved learning a new skill and being more confident in myself and I’m grateful for the things I’ve learned in my time here, couldn’t recommend them enough.

Though I must mention my major criticism of this place. I think the timetables are far too rigid, kickboxing & boxing are always at the same time at 7:30pm and I wish very much that they would introduce some flexibility. I can’t always make it around that time for various reasons and I’m sure others will be in the same boat, I think they’d greatly benefit from moving some slots around so on some days you have the option to do Kickboxing/boxing earlier in the day or even just earlier in the afternoon/evening. I’d definitely be attending more sessions if it was more flexible as it would accommodate a lot more people’s availabilities. I find myself too often missing classes and then not being able to catch up because sometimes the timing just doesn’t work out.

Other than that this place is amazing, thank you all for providing such a great service and atmosphere!

I train here for my uwcb and it was amazing. The took me from a beginner who knew nothing and kept getting hit to winning my first boxing match. Im going to carry on training here after dome rest. The coaches are funny, motivating and knowledgeable. I would recommend this for any one who is looking to start boxing.

Never thought I'd enter a boxing ring. And I likely won't again. But the guys at function First are literally amazing, they'll put you at ease, teach you everything you need to know without overloading you. They will push you to your limits physically and mentally whilst making sure you and everyone around you are as safe as possible. I couldn't recommend them more, Matt, Ash and Dom are all absolutely fantastic instructors!

I've trained on and off in various martial arts for the last 15 to 20 years so have had lots of first sessions. I've had two sessions and I'm thoroughly impressed with the instruction, facilities and fellow students. There's a great culture of fun, helpfulness and training which you can tell has been instilled by the teaching. Sparring is fun, effective but also has a great emphasis on safety which is fully explained by instructors for all students, especially us newcomers. Can't wait for my next session. Would already recommend.

I started training at function first with UWCB and I have had the best time. Ash and Dom are fantastic coaches, they have given me so much support and so much confidence, I couldn't thank them enough! Matt is so welcoming (the whole gym is!), and I felt so at ease the whole time I have been training there. An added bonus is cryotherapy and floatation located at the gym, cryotherapy is great and I'm yet to make use of the floatation pods. I have had some one to one lessons with Ash and Dom too and they both made me feel so comfortable, and have brought my training on so much. Overall I have had a fantastic experience at function first from the quality of training, the people and the facilities! I will definitely be continuing?

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!

Trained with function first for 8 week for UWCB and I tell you what! The coaches was amazing. They back you every step of the way, couldn't fault them one bit. Fight night didn't go to plan but they was in my corner, they made everything so much better!, they will invested time into you and train you to your full potential. Won't give up on anyone. If anyone have anything bad to say they must be lying. I recommend them 100%. Just amazing people!

Want to say huge thank you to Ash, Dom, Matt and Ben!

Many thanks
