Mark Reay has run a part time mixed martial arts club from the Leisure Centre for over 2years. Now, with existing and new members growing every session, he has made the move into a full time gym which he calls Viper Mixed Martial Arts on Aycliffe Business Park on Durham Way (above Aspire Fitness)

He will run a number of classes including mixed martial arts, womens fitness, street effective grappling  and ultimate self defence. Mark intends to offer reduced rate sessions of MMA through the day for unemployed people to come along, train and give them pride in themselves. He also wants to encourage young people to look after their bodies by doing this ultimate form of fitness.mma leads the way in fitness, and Mark believes  there is no better way to achieve a high fitness level.

Mixed Martial Arts sometimes known as Cage Fighting has really found pace over the last few years with the ufc taking pride of place in the fighting sports.

“We have many in our club that fight regularly all over Britain, and we also have the current British Lightweight Champion as a member at Aycliffe. I am sure we have many future champs in our team” said Mark.

The club is now ready for business on the top floor of Acorn House and new members are always welcome. It is a friendly club with everyone made to feel welcome and they stock a small range of proteins and pre-workout supplements.
