Family-run kickboxing and fitness club in Aberdeen.

Your child is capable of more than they think. So are you. Endurance Kickboxing has been proving it since 2011.

Results-driven classes to improve fitness, build confidence, and develop real kickboxing skills.

Some people find us because their child is struggling with confidence and a friend mentioned kickboxing.

Some because they've been meaning to try a martial art for years and finally decided to just go.

Most of them say the same thing a few months in - they can't believe they nearly didn't come.

Nick and Lindsey Smith

Endurance Kickboxing is run by Nick and Lindsey Smith.

We've been coaching in Aberdeen since 2011. Nick has a first-class honours degree in Sports, Fitness and Coaching. Between us, we have more than 30 years of coaching experience. And we know something about showing up regardless of what life puts in front of you.

Our coaching team — Stephanie, Lewis and Kaitlyn — started as young athletes in this very club. Today, they’re the ones helping drive it forward.

What our members say

I love the fact it's family-run and genuine. Hard to find these days.

Kelly S
Parent of Ninja student

What our members say

Arran quickly learned the importance of being on time, especially when Coach Nick's '100 burpees for being late' rule is involved! Most importantly, he absolutely adores Lindsey and thoroughly enjoys every class.

Shahana B
Parent of Cadet student

What our members say

Both girls adore their classes and the whole team is fantastic with them - and me when I ask a million questions!

Christina W
Parent of students

The name Endurance came from life, not a branding session.

We chose the name during one of the hardest periods we'd faced, when showing up anyway was the only option. That context sits behind everything we do. It's why resilience isn't just a word on a wall here. It's why the club exists at all.

Who we are

Endurance is a family-run kickboxing club on Mugiemoss Road in Aberdeen.

We coach children from age five and adults of all levels - first-timers, fitness members, competitive athletes and everyone in between. Around 300 members train here. Some have been with us for more than 10 years. The children who started with us years ago now train alongside their parents.

This isn't a club people pass through. It's somewhere they stay.

Nick Smith

Head coach, PT and the reason everything’s still standing

I have been training in kickboxing for 20 years and coaching for 15.

I have a 3rd Dan Black Belt in Kickboxing, have represented WAKO GB at an international level and won the British title in 2014. I have a BSc first-class honours degree in Sports, Fitness and Coaching and a Level 3 personal training diploma. Good coaching comes from continuously learning and knowing more year on year - and that's what I do.

I also give everyone nicknames - everyone's fine with this - those without even ask for one!

Being a head coach also comes with the responsibility of being the handyman, janitor and the reason the place is still standing!

Lindsey Smith

Coach, S&C Coach and the reason everything runs smoothly

I've got a 2nd Dan Black Belt, a Level 4 Strength and Conditioning diploma, a Level 3 personal training diploma, Level 2 group fitness and gym instructor qualifications, pre and post-natal qualifications, and a nutrition qualification.

I'm also working towards my Certified Youth Athlete Development Coach qualification (the only youth coaching qualification endorsed by the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity).

I've been coaching and running the business side of Endurance since the beginning - but I also work in finance. I know every student by name, and always notice a new haircut, remember a good week or spot when something's off.

Stephanie, Lewis & Kaitlyn

The coaching team

Stephanie, Lewis and Kaitlyn came to Endurance as children.

Between them they've accumulated more years on our mats than most clubs have been open. All three have Black Belts and fitness qualifications, as well as PVGs and first aid.

They keep things going when we can't be there and they're part of what makes the place work.

Family Values

We have three children, including George who has CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder and requires 24-hour care. He’s part of our story - and the club we built makes much more sense when you know that.

We fundraise for George's school, CDKL5 UK, Charlie House and the Children's High Dependency Unit. The Endurance community shows up every single time.

Knowing we can give our members the opportunities George doesn't have is one of the things that drives us both.

Nick and Lindsey Smith

What we believe

People have more potential than they believe — we’ve helped unlock it hundreds of times, and it never gets old.
We removed head contact for under 13s - not because we had to but because Nick looked at the evidence and decided it was the right call.
Students compete for fun and when they're ready, not for our medal tally.
The safety and wellbeing of our students and members always comes first — from training with care, to coaching with integrity, to making sure every athlete is supported at competitions.

Kickboxing classes in Aberdeen for children and adults.

We run classes for children from age five and adults of all levels. Every class is taught by qualified coaches who know what they're doing - from five-year-olds earning their first belt to adults competing at national level.

Children's kickboxing classes

Every class at Endurance is taught by qualified, PVG-checked coaches.

Before anything else, kickboxing at Endurance is a technical sport, alongside contact sparring across our age groups.

We teach fundamental movement skills, strategy, strength and confidence in a safe, fun and properly coached environment. Head contact has been removed for under 13s. Nobody gets pushed into anything before they're ready.

Ninjas

Ninjas (Age 5-8)

Classes focus on the fundamentals - movement, coordination, listening and basic technique. Fun, structured and taught at the right pace for this age group. A good first sport for children who need an outlet, something to call their own or a confidence boost.

As students progress, advanced sessions are available for those who are ready. They include more complex techniques, and sparring drills, skills and strategy. Full sparring kit required for advanced sessions.

Cadets

Cadets (Age 9-12)

Cadets work on technique, combinations and the beginnings of sparring strategy. Classes are more demanding than Ninjas but it's still about progress, not competition. Students progress through our syllabus with our support.

Advanced sessions are available for students who are ready to take it further, focusing on complex technical drills and sparring skills as they work towards Black Belt. Full sparring kit required for advanced sessions.

Teens

Teens (Age 13-17)

A significant step up from Cadets, this is where training gets serious. Technically demanding, physically challenging and built around the kind of resilience and hard work that shows up everywhere else in life too.

Beginner and advanced sessions are available. Both cover the full syllabus, pad work, contact work and sparring preparation. The difference is the level - and students find their own.

You don't need to be fit to start, you just need to show up.

Adult Classes

For complete beginners through to advanced students.

Classes cover punching, kicking, movement and sparring strategy - proper kickboxing, not a fitness class with gloves on.

You don't need to be fit to start, you just need to show up.

Classes for all ages

Sparring (Friday evening)

For students at the right level across age groups, split by ability, height and strength.

Sparring strategy and tactics, and application of techniques, movement and focus. From younger students finding their feet to advanced fighters preparing for competition, everyone works at their own level.

Competitive team training pathway

Led by Nick, helping students reach their potential in contact kickboxing.

Endurance runs two competitive teams - under-13s and over-13s. Both train every weekend and compete regularly at local and national level. Get in touch if you'd like to find out more.

The change in Lola has been amazing. Her teachers at school noticed almost immediately. She joined five years ago and has achieved her brown/black belt.
