evo692 I recently completed my STCW course at UKSA in Cowes and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment you arrive, the place genuinely feels like Hogwarts for sailing — you’re completely immersed in a professional maritime environment that’s focused on learning, safety, and seamanship. The instructors were extremely knowledgeable, professional, and supportive, with a huge amount of real-world experience. Having an ex-paramedic teaching first aid and ex and current members of the fire service delivering the fire training made a massive difference — it’s a bit like having Lewis Hamilton giving you driving lessons. You’re learning from people who have truly been there and done it. The course was well structured, engaging, and delivered in a way that made even the more demanding elements feel manageable. Safety procedures, first aid, firefighting, and sea survival were all taught clearly with a strong emphasis on practical application, which really builds confidence. UKSA’s facilities in Cowes are excellent and well maintained, and the overall learning environment was friendly and professional. The staff were approachable and genuinely invested in helping everyone succeed, regardless of background or previous experience. I left the course feeling confident, competent, and fully prepared for work at sea. I would highly recommend UKSA to anyone looking to complete their STCW training or progress their maritime career.

Helen Eadie I can’t speak highly enough about Aro Kickboxing and the incredible experience my daughter has had with Jason as her instructor. From the very first session, Jason’s passion for teaching and his ability to connect with the students stood out. My daughter has not only developed new skills but has also grown in confidence, focus, and discipline, all while having a great time. Jason’s teaching style is both engaging and empowering. He makes each lesson challenging yet fun, and my daughter looks forward to every session. His patient approach, combined with clear and motivating instruction, creates an environment where kids feel encouraged to push their limits without feeling pressured. The classes are well-structured and cater to different skill levels, ensuring that each child gets the attention they need to thrive. It’s clear that Jason genuinely cares about his students’ progress and well-being. My daughter has learned so much, not only in terms of kickboxing techniques but also in terms of respect, perseverance, and teamwork. I would wholeheartedly recommend Aro Kickboxing to any parent looking for a martial arts program that is both high-quality and inspiring. Jason’s expertise, combined with the positive atmosphere he cultivates, makes this a fantastic choice for any child looking to develop physically and mentally.

SSSB Southampton Suns I had a great experience at David Lloyd, largely thanks to Soph. She was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. Soph took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions with patience, and made sure I felt comfortable and supported. Her professionalism and positive attitude really stood out and made a big difference to my visit. A real credit to the team at David Lloyd.

Jean Very professional team, knowledgeable and friendly instructors. Wide range of high quality equipment and two spacious studios.
