Great coaches, fun programming for CrossFit. I tried Krav Maga as well and I had so much fun. This gym is great.

While visiting family around the holidays I was able to sneak in several Krav Maga classes here and had an absolute blast. The various instructors each have their own style and work diligently to ensure that class is both fun and productive.The best part of the entire experience was meeting Alexis & Juan. They are wonderful owners who truly care about their clients and run their business with integrity.If you are even curious about Krav Maga, don’t give it a second thought. Just reach out to New World and schedule your first class!

Don’t let having zero experience stop you from trying it out! New World has amazing instructors that teach you everything you need to know and encourage you the whole time. The instructors truly have your best interest in mind and the people you’ll be working out with are friendly and inspiring!

Amazing lessons, workouts and staff!!! I attended the introduction to Krav Maga class with a friend and instantly fell in love. Aside from the great benefit of getting in shape, learning how to defend myself is priceless. The instructors teach such valuable techniques and are motivating and kind. Alexis and Juan are incredible human beings and leaders. They are genuine and truly care about their members. Thank you to all of the New World instructors and staff for all that you do. What you teach is truly appreciated. I highly recommend this gym, especially the Krav Maga class!

I miss this place every single day! My family and I moved back to Michigan a little over a year ago but I was member at New World for two years and I can easily say there is no place like it! I have joined 3 other crossfit/boxing/krav gyms since being back in Michigan and I have left them all because they don't compare to what I got out of New World. You feel welcomed on day 1, and safety is very important. Yes, you are taking combat classes but Juan, Alexis, and the coaches teach you how to be smart about getting the most of your classes. Coach Will's boxing class is something you need to try out along with cross fit unloaded!

My family and I have been training at this gym for nearly three years now. It is a great gym, with diverse training options: Boxing, BJJ, Krav Maga, Kettlebell Sport, Crossfit, etc. The owners, Juan & his wife Alexis are constantly working to make the gym the best it can be. They care about each of their members like family. This gym is literally their life. They take pride in selecting and training excellent coaches & trainers for their programs. Coaches conduct themselves professionally, provide an atmosphere of acceptance, and are great resources for information to supplement or support your goals. Unlike other gyms that can have an atmosphere that is uncomfortable, cliquish, or overly competitive, New World really does offer a different feeling. If you are looking for a top notch fitness facility that offers a wide variety of training options alongside others who are friendly, motivated and committed to their goals, New World is the place for you.

Come by once. If you don't resonate with these exceptional people and their ability to improve your health, then by all means, look elsewhere. My bet though, is that you'll love it and your health and emotional well being will both benefit. It is a welcoming atmosphere and genuine folks are the members here.

Great Crossfit gym! Very motivating group and knowledgable coaches. I've lost over 50lbs in the last year with these guys. Highly recommend !

I have been going here for three days and feeling the pain like crazy. This gym will motivate you every step of the way from start to finish. They have a great group of adults that want to train and get fit and they are all willing to help you meet your goals to success.

Absolutely amazing transition from your average gym! This place has truly been a life changing experience. The members are very welcoming, the coaches are amazing and really know what they are doing. They are constantly learning new techniques and movements to help keep you safe and building strength. They offer Krav Maga which is a self defense class, that teaches you to protect yourself against real world situations while getting fit, you won't find another class like this! They also offer Crossfit (Crossfit GreenBox), and a Cmma class which is like a kickboxing class. This place delivers results and is super fun!
