Testimonials

Leicester College have been working with the Waterfront to help deliver our recreational sports offer over the past 18 months. In this time Tara, Nik and Michael have all delivered engaging boxing sessions to a variety of students and have tailored sessions to suit everyone and any space. The sessions have proved to be extremely successful with students and provided many positive outcomes. I would highly recommend using the coaches at the waterfront if you are considering introducing recreational boxing in any setting.

Having worked with Waterfront for 2 years as part of the UoL Boxing Society, I was very impressed with their approach. Right from the beginning we could tell they were a warm, hard working and accommodating team. And now two years on, we have maintained a great relationship with them.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank waterfront for bringing your team on board to support our events. To provide young people living in a deprived area the opportunity to try new sports with education value. What you do is really motivating and inspiring.
