More than
a gym

Next Gen Fight Hub is a Muay Thai, Boxing and MMA gym in Basildon, Essex. Fitness. Technique. Community.

We built Next Gen for everyone who wants to learn to fight properly, whatever their starting point. Kids finding their first combinations, adults chasing fitness, and competitors sharpening for the ring all train under the same roof.

The gym is led by head coach Hayden, who has spent thirteen years on the pads across Muay Thai, boxing, K1 and MMA. Around him is a team of specialist coaches, each bringing their own discipline, so you learn from people who have genuinely done it.

Come for the fitness, stay for the craft. That is the whole idea.

The room is only half of it

The other half is who is in it. Juniors who turn up on a Monday and never stop, adults who came for the fitness and stayed for the craft, and fighters getting ready for a corner. They all train in the same room, on the same mats.

Nobody here started good. Walk in, say hello, and someone will show you where to stand.

From the head coach

Hayden also runs The Pad Guy Programme, an online course teaching you how to hold pads properly, wherever you are. Different thing to the gym, same standard.
