Faith Attwell

As an MMA enthusiast, I’ve trained in numerous makeshift gyms, all started with passion but lacking the sustainability this fast-paced sport demands. This ignited a conversation amongst friends about creating a comprehensive gym, a haven for combat sports athletes, a concept unheard of at the time. That’s how Hangar was born.

The journey of establishing Hangar wasn’t without risks, but I had faith that our hard work would pay off. Friends Matt and Paul were instrumental in the initial stages, contributing ideas, painting, and conducting classes. Matt has since ventured into TV but occasionally drops by to train a client, while Paul remains an integral part of our team.

I took massive financial risks to open this facility.

I risked my time, my relationship, my business and even my home!

But when you plan with Passion, the hard work pays off. And here we are today.

Our proudest moment was reaching our first anniversary, a testament to our ability not just to survive but to thrive.

Fast forward over the years, Hangar boasts a regular schedule, top-notch coaches, and most importantly, a thriving gym community that exceeds my wildest dreams.

I've loved my time with Hangar and being part of this family run gym.

Participating in this course has shown me a number of importnant life skills which can be applied inside and outside the gym, such a great family of people which will keep you motivated everyday!

Absolutely amazing facility, coaches, trainers and staff. Faith & co. work hard for the community and creating a fantastic atmosphere for all. I was very intimidated to start going to MMA classes but I’ve never felt more welcome and can’t wait for the next session.

By far the best gym I have ever been to. Very much a family/community vibe where everyone is welcomed and included. As a 40-something woman with a moderate level of fitness and more than a few pounds to lose I was nervous that this wouldn’t be the place for me, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. I love it.
