"Starting as a complete beginner with zero knowledge about DJing, DJ Gym have taught me more than I could have ever imagined. A huge thank you to DJ Gym's tutors who are incredibly skilled and talented. They will structure classes tailored to you as an individual and give you the guidance you need to perfect your DJing skills. You’ll be amazed how much you learn in just a few hours. I would highly recommend them to anyone who has an interest and passion for music. I can’t wait to begin the production lessons. Thanks so much to everyone at LSA"

"Best DJ academy ever! I was a long time bedroom DJ and thought I knew most things, but when I came to DJ Gym about one year ago...the school took my skills as a DJ to the next level! Thanks to all my tutors and the biggest thanks to DJ Gym's father Buster Bennett! He makes DJs dreams become real! DJ Gym was one of the best experiences of my life. I'm proud to be a DJ Gym alumni!"

Micol Treichler

"I found out about DJ Gym via a friend and I'm really glad I did. I started with the Beginner DJ course when I had no previous experience. I had tried to learn by myself (online etc.) but taking the course was a great move. I'm completing the Intermediate course now and I'll definitely do the Advanced. I feel I learnt a lot in the most efficient way possible and feel more confident at every new session. The equipment used is top, the lessons fun and very productive. DJ Gym gives you a great opportunity and tips to develop yourself and start to build a DJing career!"

Naen Chidchob

"I'm currently finishing off the intermediate DJ course and soon onto the advanced! Lessons are super easy to arrange, and the lessons really push you to achieve your best! From having very little experience, my tutors were able to help me grow and understand the techniques and the skills required to become a great DJ. Highly recommend for anyone at all! No experience needed just bring your passion for music."

Joanna Poole

"Completing the beginner, intermediate and advanced DJ course at DJ Gym was one of the best decisions l have ever made and l wish i'd done it years ago. The tutors are great and thankfully very patient! Thanks to DJ Gym, l have been able to play in some of London's biggest clubs and on the famous Pukka Up Boat Party in Ibiza! I have met great people through DJ Gym and some friends for life. Get involved!"
