Located in Birkenhead, North Shore Auckland, Urban Sport Gym is a premier martial arts and fitness facility dedicated to serving the community with high-quality instruction in Muay Thai Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), and strength and conditioning. Whether you are a complete beginner taking your first steps or a seasoned competitor preparing for national and international titles, Urban Sport offers a welcoming environment where everyone can thrive. The gym prides itself on being a supportive, non-intimidating space that focuses on proper technique, personal development, and overall fitness rather than just fighting prowess.
The heart of Urban Sport is its diverse range of programs tailored to all ages and goals. For adults, the flagship "Urban Technique" classes, led by Head Trainer Greg Nesbit and Chris Eades, combine Muay Thai and kickboxing drills with intensive pad work to boost heart rates and refine form. For those seeking a more inclusive atmosphere, the Women’s Program offers expert-led sessions focusing on confidence and strength. Fitness enthusiasts who may not be interested in sparring can still achieve incredible results, as the high-intensity nature of the classes can burn up to 800 calories per session. Additionally, the "Urban Circuit" program provides focused strength and cardio workouts for those looking to push their physical limits.
Urban Sport is equally committed to the next generation through its "Urban Youth" program. Designed for children, these classes go beyond simple kata, teaching practical self-defense, discipline, and respect in a safe environment. The goal is to make kids "bully-proof" while ensuring they have fun and build confidence. For the highly motivated, the exclusive "Urban Fight Team" offers rigorous sparring and fighting drills by invitation only, allowing elite athletes to test their skills under the guidance of world-class coaches.
Coached by Greg Nesbit, a respected figure in the North Shore fitness community, and featuring expert trainers like Chris "Cobra" Eades—a decorated professional fighter with titles in WMC, WKBF, and IKBF—Urban Sport Gym delivers premium instruction. The facility is open seven days a week, offering flexible pricing options from casual drop-in classes to full weekly memberships. With a strong emphasis on community, friendly coaching, and state-of-the-art training areas, Urban Sport Gym is the ideal destination for anyone looking to transform their body and mind.
