The MAD Family

Members have been calling themselves the MAD Family since the early days. It was never a slogan we came up with. It's just what happened.

You can train anywhere. What's harder to find is a room where the coach knows your name, the person next to you says well done and someone notices when you haven't been in for a while. For a lot of our members, MAD is a second home. For some, it's already their first.

Nobody should feel intimidated

Our priority has always been to have fun and not take ourselves too seriously. Walking into a new studio can be daunting, especially if you haven't trained in a while, so every class is coached and every exercise can be scaled to your level. Plenty of our regulars started out nervous, and they're usually the first to say hello to someone new.

A timetable that fits around life

With over 30 classes a week, there's room for most routines: early sessions before work, classes after it and Saturday Circuits to start the weekend. Our off peak classes are baby friendly, so parents can train with their little ones close by in the studio. HYROX members train alongside people who are trying a class for the first time, and both get the same attention.

More than the classes

The MAD Family doesn't only meet at 6am. We run events through the year, from HYROX workshops to socials, and we've got Run Clubs and Recovery Sundays on the way. They're a chance to train together, meet members from other classes and spend time with each other outside the usual sessions.

What members say

Close to 90 Google reviews at 4.9 stars, many from people who've trained with us for years. The thing they mention most isn't the kit or the classes. It's the people.

Come and meet us

If you're looking for somewhere to train in Sidcup that feels welcoming from the first session, our 2 week trial gives you access to every class. Try a few, meet the coaches and see what the MAD Family is all about.
