MMA to Dividends
Craig Macintosh, Calum Murrie and Gary Priestly have been competitive Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighters for many years, loving their sport and have spent the last 12 years traveling the world competing and learning from the best coaches. Through the years they decided to become instructors alongside their ‘day jobs’, training and fighting. It was always a dream for them to open a gym and be able to share their experience and knowledge with others and now that dream has come true as they open their first gym together in Alloa.
Following their Passion
Craig had worked in an office job for 12 years, Calum as a tradesman for 16 years and Gary has worked in various jobs before making the leap to personal training and martial arts coaching a few years back while also studying at college, but their true passion has always been MMA. Due to the various aspects of lockdown, redundancy and furlough they are now following their true passion to provide mixed martial arts for everyone. They are fully aware the benefits this can bring to individuals by promoting positive change and a healthy lifestyle.
