SASSOM Fitness was started by Marcus Collings as a mobile Personal Training business working from different gyms and local parks. After renting space in other gyms for a few years, Marcus found a new location in Woolloongabba. The location was a rundown warehouse, but with a vision and a lot of hard work and some much needed help from friends & family SASSOM Fitness was reborn.
Our programs help develop coordination, agility, balance, speed, power, and strength. We encourage self confidence, respect, positive attitudes and work ethic. SASSOM Kids focuses on helping your child become bully proof while ensuring they do not become the bully. We do this by teaching them awareness, responsibility and finally the.

Awesome school with a really friendly owner (Marcus) and great coaches. Good atmosphere, and you get people of all sorts here from beginners to very friendly pros. Learned a lot! They have BJJ, kickboxing/striking, and a few other classes.
Special note for the weightlifting room — it's tidy, there are five racks with lots of olympic and heavy metal plates, and the plates and dumbbells are always in the racks in the right spot. Not your average globo gym, people here are respectful of the gear.
I hope to be back!

This is a McDojo
1) they let day 1, zero experience white belts roll full speed with other zero experience white belts. I've seen multiple injuries occur
2) every 3 weeks there's a new rotation of white belts who don't stick around because all the classes are taught by a purple belt who shows you one random, obscure move, then lets the class loose. Barely any drills, no focus on the basics
3) mats are disgusting. They are the cheap, thin, interlocking puzzle type. Bjj starts after the boxing class, and you roll around on puddles of sweat because the ventilation is so bad
4) to get stripes,

Always friendly, never a 'sorry out of order' sign on equipment, spotlessly clean and air-conditioned to a temperature that you feel comfortable even while working out. Quality equipment and plenty of free weight thoughtfully spread around the gym. Nice to see gymnastic rings and proper lifting platforms too.

Marcus has been in the fight game for a long time and is a well respected trainer and very successful competitor himself.
Sassom MMA caters to all sorts - the casual who just wants to get fit or the stud looking to be the next champion. It is a great ego-free place to train with a full roster of morning/lunch/night classes to fit anyone's busy schedule.

I started training at Sassom over three years ago and can happily attest to the wonderful, friendly atmosphere of the whole place. The Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and the Muay thai classes cater to everyone from beginners to the more advanced, everyone is made to feel welcome as I was so warmly over three years ago. If you are interested in starting a life changing journey that provides the benefits of fitness, friendship and most importantly fun, then come on down to Sassom MMA, you won't regret it!

I've been training jiu jitsu at Sassom (both gi and no-gi) for almost six months now. Over the years I have experimented with BJJ at two or three other gyms, and Sassom is the only one that kept me coming back. The coaches are first-rate: knowledgable, accessible, friendly and good at teaching. The comaraderie at Sassom is inclusive and immediately felt. The facilities are excellent: spacious training area and numerous classes. Very impressed and would recommend to anyone looking to give BJJ a go.
