"Amazing course amazing trainers, great value for money….. When is the next course, I’m there." Helen Ttofa

"I have done various boxing courses; this course was up there with them. I would recommend it to any PT or Fitness instructor that wants to incorporate boxing into their client’s classes." Paul Murray

"Andy and Rocky are brilliant at explaining and giving tips and point out mistakes in your training, they are a great team." Jiten Nandha

"Hands, arms and shoulders are aching but had a wicked time. Teachers are helpful and informative, would definitely recommend. " Dane Hitchon

"I attended the Performance Boxing Course on 16th May 2009 with a view to using the skills learnt with some my clients.
I had never done any boxing before, but over the course of the day we were taught everything from fighting stance, to each of the punches, pad work, combinations and loads of teaching tips. The course was simply superb and the quality of instruction from the two coaches was second to none with constant supervision and guidance while making the whole day good fun.
The course material provided (in a handbook) is excellent and covers everything you need to get started in using performance boxing for keeping fit.
There was loads of group and pair work using pads, and by the end of the day everyone had had a great workout too.
I can’t recommend this course highly enough and will prove invaluable in getting people fit using minimal equipment.
Many Thanks again, you guys @ Optimal Rock! :-) " Matt Shore

"When I signed up for the "optimal performance boxing course" I was not sure what it had to offer me I had been involved at my local amateur boxing club for 15 years both competing and also coaching, I have done 2 assistance A.B.A coaches courses , 1 refresher coaching week-end and also 1 professional based course . But I have to say honestly that this 1 day course was the best out of the lot, what I liked about it was it is all nice basic stuff and it is well delivered and executed.  BJ and Andy do a great job with there demos on the pads and then you have the excellent ex top notch amateur and pro "steve smith" giving very friendly sound advice on technique   ( when I originally heard steve smith was on the course I couldn’t believe it with him being one of the most under-rated boxers from these shores in 50 years)  at the end of the day I was so pumped up and I thought these guys at optimal fitness are so professional at what they do I am so fortunate that I come across them , this course is a must and already I am hoping and praying they put together another boxing course in the future. All round 10/10"Glyn Evans - Cheshire

"Lots of practical hands on learning. Good fun instruction and great to have a former professional boxer teaching on the course."

"Very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Would refer anyone to your course and will gladly return myself." Robert Blake

"Top course and great friendly guys would recommend to clients as well as other trainers."

"Another great course from O.L.F awesome to have Steve there really enjoyed the day." Andy Marshall
