ABOUT THE GYM
Our Story
Legions Gym was founded in January 2011 by Dave Phillips and Al Chambers with the aim of building a successful gym that is a great place to train for everyone. Over the past 8 years it’s fair to say that goal has been achieved and so, so much more……….
Legions gym is now a thriving community with a big team of active fighters, loads of trainers and hundreds of fitness enthusiasts who like train hard and laugh along the way. Classes are held in a relaxed but hard working environment and are open to all levels, male and female from beginners to active fighters.
Legions also plays a part in the wider community – putting on the highly successful “Night of the Legions” fight nights, and also Little Fighters which trains amateurs to take part in charity boxing matches – winning the Minster FM local heroes fund raiser of the year award!
Legions has a long-standing association with York’s Special Care Baby Unit and has to date raised over £100,000 for the unit with plenty more in the pipeline.

MUAY THAI
At its core Legions is a Thai Boxing gym. Muay Thai is a devastating striking art that blends techniques such as kicks, knees, elbows, punches and clinch work. Muay Thai (or Thai Boxing) is a fighting art that originated in Thailand over 1000 years ago. Often called the “toughest ring sport in the world” it is arguably the most powerful and dominating stand-up martial art in the world.
A good Muay Thai session is one of the best workouts a person can have and is perfect for fitness and weight loss as well as increasing confidence, physical ability and skill. All you need to bring in the first instance is a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, all gloves and equipment is available at the gym.
Advanced classes are taught by our head coach Dave “the boss man” Phillips and generally consist of a warm up, some pads or technical training followed by sparring.
