Bad Company Gym was founded in 1993 by Richard Smith and has grown into one of the most successful and respected Muay Thai gyms in the United Kingdom.

Renowned for its welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere, Bad Company caters to all ages and abilities, from complete beginners to world class fighters. Whether you’re training for fitness, fun or competition, you’ll find expert guidance and a strong community here.

The gym is led by head coaches and founders Richard Smith and Lisa Houghton Smith, who bring decades of experience and a passion for developing talent at every level.

In 2024, eight time world champion Liam Harrison, a lifelong student of Bad Company, became a co-owner alongside Gym King founder Jay Parker. This new partnership enabled the gym to move into a brand new 12,000 sq ft facility in early 2025, marking a bold new chapter in its ongoing evolution.
