Base Defence Gym (BDG) - (Near Redbridge, UK)

mayu mathuralingam Sharath was incredibly professional from the very start. As someone who had never done weight training before, he made me feel completely comfortable and eased me into it with patience and encouragement. He took the time to teach me proper form and technique, ensuring that I could train safely and confidently on my own. What really stood out was how genuinely he cared about my overall physical health. He regularly checked in on my progress and even tailored a diet plan that fit perfectly with my busy schedule. From the beginning, he took the time to understand my current strength, stamina, and daily routine, then designed a personalised plan that was both effective and easy to stick to. I’ve really appreciated his supportive approach and the results that came with it — I’d highly recommend Sharath to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring trainer.

B Brown Lovely local library — quiet, friendly, and great for readers or anyone who needs a peaceful place to work. Free internet access is a big plus. It’s close to the station, and there’s paid parking nearby, making it easy to visit. Nice to see it open on Sundays too!

D Hay very helpful tour given by Brad today, the gym looks great i was really impressed by their reformer studio, the cardio machines are amazing too giving you POV while you work out, facilities has definitely improved. The price is definitely worth it compared to what local gyms in the area offer.

Marion Marling I’ve been with Marc & Liam for over two years now before they where D&D! There passion and commitment to each individual that walks through there door is second to none. The atmosphere and vibes is like no other, the wealth of knowledge they have to pass on is amazing. They have helped me reach goals and then set mew ones always insuring that I receive the best and most focused training. Both my kids train there and love every session. Each coach brings something different to the plate. Marc - exemplary experience and passion, watch out for the fighters he is developing Liam - commitment to changing the norm second to none Simeon - the vibes master and another man with passion and experience, his knack for keeping the kids focused is crazy Lillie - amazing talent and patience even with someone like me! Kiera - always the early bird keeping the 6am bunnies on there toes! And all the other coaches making there way through the ranks! Amazing And Tara!! The wonderful lady who keeps it all ticking! Tara is a smiley face, so helpful and a fab baby sitter for the Mums & buggy class! TRULY AND AMAZING TEAM IF YOU HAVEN’T BEEN IN YET! YOUR MISSING OUT

Shabana Waka It has been a great 1:1 training experience with Laiba over the last 10 weeks. I’m someone who doesn’t have the greatest of relationships with the gym and exercise. She has been patient and supportive in getting me started on this journey. She has great listening and motivation skills and makes you instantly feel comfortable. She has understood my health gaols and helped me to get focused on working towards achieving these. A great PT to partner with on your wellness journey
