Base Training Centre

Great trainers with a lot of knowledge and experience to pass on in a very clean gym and an awesome crew of training partners to keep you honest and motivated, so glad I found this place.

I’ve been with base for roughly 2 months now. I must say I love the style of training. The trainers are very helpful not to mention most of the students will take the time to get you up to speed and walk you through. Definitely not your regular gym, it’s more a community!

Great community vibe and the trainer’s are amazing at keep the children engaged and having fun. The kids love going and that’s half the battle sometimes

I take my 4 year old boy here and he loves it. I’m a veteran myself, so when I heard this was a veteran owned and ran business, that was the first tick of support for me to go have a look. The way the coaches conduct themselves is very professional. Their demeanour and calmness is spot on for the juniors. The biggest standout for me is that every coach knows every child’s name - whether that child is a first timer trialling, or one of the regular attendees, you hear all their names being called out on the regular. That to me is a solid value proposition as a parent as I can see that the time and effort, just in that little 1 percenter has been taken - let alone the martial arts aspect of why we send them there. Very professional look and feel in the gym, with everyone being made to feel welcome. I’d encourage anyone to give it a go.

My family and I love Base. The facilities and coaches are world class. My kids have stuck with training for over a year. 10/10

My son has attended base for 7-8 months. Base was a game changer for my 9 year old son. He is much more confident since training and Damien & the team have helped him to reach his full potential. My son has had focus issues at school & has said his training at base is helped him focus in class also. Any issues (it’s a contact sport so things happen) have always been dealt with efficiently & professionally. I highly recommend Base

I couldn’t recommend Base Training Centre enough to anyone interested in martial arts or fitness. I started at North Lakes 3-4 weeks ago with absolutely no experience in any form of martial arts. The goal for me was to get out of my comfort zone and challenge myself to learn something new.

I can genuinely speak from experience as someone who was anxious about joining and noncommittal. I live down the road from the Brendale gym and always wanted to join but never pulled the pin. When North Lakes opened, I challenged myself to throw away any excuses and dive in. I turned up one Saturday morning to trial a BJJ class.

I immediately felt welcomed by Aaron the coach. The level of detail and care Aaron puts in to teaching is incredible. I was wondering how classes would work with varying skill levels. Coming in with no experience, is not an issue at all with Aaron’s comprehensive and thoughtful teaching style.

All the classes are as equally fun as they are challenging. There is no pressure on anyone to do something they don’t feel comfortable doing. I’ve had the pleasure of participating in classes that Damien has coached as well. Damien is also very welcoming and approachable. It is easy to see how much Aaron and Damien care about everyone in the gym.

The biggest thing I’ve learnt so far is that martial arts is not an individual sport, it’s a team sport.

I wanted to write a detailed review because if anyone is like me, reading these without stepping out of their comfort zone, please do it. It’s definitely one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve got a baby daughter, work in the city, drive with horrendous traffic and have a chronic neurological condition; none of which are good enough excuses for me anymore. I’d happily recommend Base to anyone no matter their age, ability or gender. I’m grateful I took the plunge.

Short Summary:
Aaron & Damien are awesome. Everyone is welcoming. Step out of your comfort zone.

I dropped in for a few BJJ sessions while staying with family in the area. This is an excellent gym, with fantastic instruction and all around great people.

The gym has heaps of mat space, including padded walls, and the giant ceiling fan provides good airflow - very welcome as it was around 30°C most days I visited.

I was impressed by the class format, jumping straight into technical drills instead of taking up class time with unrelated warm-ups. Technique instruction was concise, while still highlighting important details.

I felt safe rolling with everyone. There was a great range of physical strength and technical skill, which I felt was applied in a controlled manner, leading to some great rolls.

I'd definitely recommend BASE to anyone looking to train in the area.

I've been at Base just over 12 months and absolutely love it! Coach Georgia is amazing and always so patient and easy going. I would 100% recommend to anyone who is even slightly interested in starting, guarantee you won't regret it.

Awesome atmosphere and great people! Fantastic kids classes where they learn a lot more than Jujitsu.

Base Training Center has the most incredible atmosphere, the coaches will make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in the door and teach you every step of the way.

Base Training Center offers a variety of classes with incredibly talented coaches throughout the day and night making it easy to attend before and after work.

So happy I found this gym and get to be a part of the amazing culture they have created.

Cant recommend this gym enough. Has been great for my whole family both physically and mentally. Best thing we ever did was begin our journey here. The coaches are approachable and extremely passionate and regardless of your skill level or age the gym always makes you feel welcome.

Base Training Centre has provided our sons with a supportive environment where they have been able to thrive as individuals. It has been a privilege to witness them progress as mixed martial artists under the tutelage of this wonderful coaching team. Our family is truly blessed to have become members of the Base community.

My 6 year old started at Base training. He is a very shy kid but the trainers and the owner are so welcoming and knowledgeable, our son got into training and can’t stop talking about it. He asks me when is training.

So if you looking at some new skills. Base training is the place.

Easy transition from another gym, it was really welcoming and my partner and I are extreamly happy to be apart of such an amazing gym.

Best gym I have ever trained at, I have no doubts in my mine that base will be the number 1 MMA gym in the country in within the next 5 years.

Base is one of a kind. The coaches are lovely genuine, compassionate and patient with everyone. Very knowledgeable and helpful. They will go out of their way to help you.
The culture of everyone is wonderful. Everyone makes you feel like you are part of team.

Excellent facility with expert coaching and an amazing/friendly team. Makes you look forward to going to training all day. Classes cater for all experience levels

Base Training Centre is a gym like no other. With spacious facilities, knowledgeable staff, and a friendly team, it truly is second to none.

Their timetable provides members with a vast array of options, and there is certainly something for everyone looking to achieve their goals and find their niche.

I highly recommend Base Training Centre to anyone looking to improve their quality of life as it provides a great sense of community and mateship, without the alpha mentality and toxic egos seen at lesser gyms.

Whether you’re looking to fight competitively, or simply improve your fitness, Base provides a comfortable and welcoming environment for all demographics and fitness levels with zero judgment.

I started here completely new to martial arts. I've found the coaching, community and facility to all be amazing. Would strongly recommend signing up with Base to anyone.
