I live near Wigan and Skelmersdale. I am interesting in taking up the sport from scratch. Therefore I'm in the process of finding a reputable gym/club, as close to me as possible, that is willing to train a total novice. I have done some research and found quiet a few but they aren't so close. I would be willing to travel but only if they come recommended.

Please give me some feedback on the following places:

Fighting for Fitness, Golborne
http://www.wigan-mma.com/

Powerbeck, Leigh
http://www.powerbeck.co.uk/gym/

Colosseum, Farnworth
http://www.colosseum-mma.co.uk/

Colosseum seems to be 'The' place but I'm unsure how they'd feel about a 25 year newbie walking in the building?
Fighting for Fitness comes across a little 'McDojo' but who am I to judge.
Any suggestions of somewhere closer to home would also be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
