I have practiced Martial Arts throughout the years and trained with many seasoned pros. This is by far one of the most professional and friendly places I’ve ever trained at. The staff is welcoming and all of the people training here are super cool. On top of that they really focus on the things that matter… fitness and defense! If you want to stay in shape and learn high level self defense, I recommend this facility to you!

I started going here by myself as I wanted to try boxing. I was very nervous but when I first got there Breanna was very welcoming and made me feel at ease. She came and checked on me as well which made me feel better. All the instructors were very nice and I learned a lot of helpful techniques in self defense and learned so much about boxing! I improved every single day! I highly recommend this place it has a very welcoming environment!

My daughter and I joined this gym to learn Krav before she went to college. That way she could gouge the eyes out of some pos if it came to that! Anyway, we both enjoyed it, learning a lot and got to meet some really good people. Great atmosphere and tough workouts.

The first time I heard about Crossfit I was intimidated. A friend invited me to try out NWDF and there was a warm welcome from the get go! There is a strong sense of camaraderie and such a great community, I would recommend it to anyone thinking about getting back to the gym and wanting to stick to it! I don't think I'll be able to return to a "normal" gym again.. I also take the Olympic Lifting classes and can recommend it to anyone who's looking to improve their Snatch or Clean & Jerk, Coach John is awesome and has the experience as both a lifter and a coach to help you improve. Haven't tried out the other classes, but I've only heard positives from everyone at the gym trying to convince me to try them out.

Everything about this place is 5 star! The owners Juan and Alexis are incredible. The trainer Will who does Cross Fit and boxing is very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The members are also motivating and competitive. The classes are challenging and community driven so it pushes you to keep up. It's the first gym I've joined and I'm really glad I did. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
