Vaz Facey has a message for Ilford's sports community about Vaz Facey Fitness Centre—where he's leading the charge to help everyone smash their fitness goals. Focused on Muay Thai, the centre is run by Vaz, a martial artist with 22 years under his belt.
Originally from Jamaica, Vaz has always been into sports. Cricket, swimming, Taekwondo—you name it. He became a certified lifeguard and fitness instructor back in Jamaica. When he moved to the UK in 2002, he worked as a swimming instructor and got some valuable security industry experience. But his heart was always in martial arts, especially Muay Thai, which he trained in under Arjan Vincent S Deckon.
Vaz has racked up an impressive Muay Thai record: 18 wins, one draw, and one loss. Even after an injury, he stayed committed, passing his Khans and completing various Muay Thai courses. Today, he's running Vaz Muay Thai Academy classes across East London and works as a personal trainer. He’s big on the Muay Thai ethos and keeps learning from Grandmasters in Thailand.
At Vaz Facey Fitness Centre, Vaz wants to help everyone reach their fitness goals with a mix of techniques and a holistic approach. Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned athlete, there’s something for you—group classes, personal training, you name it. The facilities are top-notch, and the community’s supportive.
You can find the centre at Fort Galaxy Gym on Connaught Lane, Ilford, Essex. They’re open Monday to Saturday, from 10:30 AM to 10:00 PM. If you want to get started, check out their website or get in touch with Vaz directly.
