Adding ourselves to Spartner has seen a decent increase in activity at the gym. Fighters are matching via the website and then, where we can, we act as the middle-ground where they can meet up and spar. For free, you get a full listing that includes photos of your facilities and reviews from Spartner users.

What I’ve noticed about Spartner is the potential to connect with different boxers from a wide range of backgrounds and abilities. There are circles and communities within Spartner based on discipline and ability, be that recreational, amateur or professional. It’s definitely worth setting up a free profile, I’ve organised plenty of sparring sessions through Spartner.

Creating a Spartner account was a no brainer once I was referred to the website by one of the guys in the sports club I work out of. It helps me to make connections not only with other fighters who want to advance in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but professionals like sports therapists, nutritionists and cardiologists who I can message for advice.
