Fight Lab NZ

More training meant more entries! Winner is Vince Santos. His brothers have full permission to fight him for the prize.

Final week of the comp.

Every class you both book and scan into earns an entry—so if you’re training, make sure you do both.

The goal is to get people booking so we can plan for class numbers and avoid increasing fees—so it’s a win/win.

Winner drawn this Friday, 2 October.

Current availability this week - DM or book via the app to book any of the spots left

PROPOSED TIMETABLE — WHO’S KEEN?

We’re considering these timetable changes and want to know which sessions you’d actually attend.

MUAY STRENGTH
Tuesday and Thursday, 7–8am. Minimum four bookings, with an additional charge.

INTRO SPARRING
At least one month’s Muay Thai training, plus coach permission. You’ll need 16 oz gloves, shin guards and a mouthguard.

THAI SPARRING
Coach permission, advanced class experience and immaculate control required.

If you’ve recently been warned about your control or escalated the power during sparring, you aren’t ready for this session yet. You’ll need to demonstrate consistent control first.

Standard sparring equipment is required, plus headgear and elbow pads.

SATURDAY PRO-STYLE SESSIONS
These will run similarly to a session in Thailand, following a set plan that changes weekly. For example: a run, shadowboxing and stretching, pad rounds, clinch rounds and light conditioning work.

Allow 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours. Minimum four bookings, with an additional charge.

All sparring and advanced classes must be booked, with no extra charge.

Have a look at the proposed timetable and comment below or message us with the sessions you’d attend. Let us know which days work for you so we can gauge interest before confirming the changes.

PROPOSED START DATE: OCTOBER 2

Bit of a 'hard word' : Some of you are still not scanning in (despite walking past the screen saying 'scanning is compulsory'). This is a big deal. The liability and potential fines you place on us are far higher than what your membership contributes. It's not complicated. We'll need to start removing those that don't follow this - the risk is way too high.
You've been provided two barcode/scan cards, and can also use the app to scan in, so there's no excuse!

Booking for all sparring and advanced classed is (still) compulsory - your scan wont work if you dont book, so you shoudnt be entering the gym.

NEW COMP — just book and scan. Easy.

Now that the system change is mostly sorted, I’ll run a comp to persuade people to book.

Remember, booking classes helps us prevent fee increases, so it’s for your own long-term benefit.

Booked and scanned class = 1 entries

Training with no scan = −10 entries

You should never enter the gym without scanning anyway— it’s a liability issue. This includes attending sparring or advanced classes without the compulsory booking.

PRIZE:

Supps kit:
Creatine / BCAAs / Pre-workout / Caffeine / Protein / ZMA / Shaker

Plus, I’ll structure a basic supplement guide for the timing of use based on your goals.

Gym gear:
Gym tee / Wraps / Keyrings / Ankle supports
Your choice of available colours.

Total value: approximately $300.

Starts now. Drawn 1 October.

At the start of each week, I'll start putting up my availability for last minute bookings

If you want to take one of the spots, DM or book in the app.
(or email us, book in person at the gym, use the 'contact us' form on the website, contact in the app, VHF, morse code, smoke signal; not fussy really)

For full info, www.fightlab.co.nz (website is being updated this week with full booking system updated)

Just a reminder to make use of the 'Resources' section in the app.

If you’re unsure what you need to work on, when you can move into sparring or advanced classes, or what’s required before asking for a fight, check there first.

Any fighters looking to book fights should also be forwarding the completed forms on this page so I know you are doing the work.

I’ll keep building on this page if people are using it—so have a look and let me know what else would be useful to you!
