NWDF is flat-out one of the best activities you can implement into your life. It's not just about fitness or self defense, though those are very important things to value, but the community that has been built here is nothing short of astonishing. Do not be afraid even if it is your first time, I promise you will feel welcomed and it is a great experience

New World has created an amazing atmosphere for everyone. Educated trainers, some of the best equipment and various class options to meet my crazy schedule. I’ve never felt more confident about reaching my goals.

Love the family environment/ experience you get every time you step into the gym. You feel the coaches and everyone here cares, that’s something that’s missing from a lot of gyms… but not New World Defense & Fitness!

I've only been a member for a little over a year but this gym has given me the self confidence I've been searching for, and has changed my life for the better. I've made some great friendships that I believe will last the rest of my life. I can't recommend this gym enough!

I enjoy coming to New World because they offer a variety of classes throughout the week. I have tried almost all of the classes and have enjoyed each one. The instructors are well informed and encouraging. They have made me enjoy working out!

This is great gym for those who are looking to get back in shape and have fun. I was always skeptical about crossfit, but after attending Coach Juan's class, I was hooked. I will never make fun of Crossfitters again. If you are looking for morning classes, look no further. Try Coach Will's 7AM kick boxing or the 6 AM crossfit. New World is open 6 days a week and has a class schedule for those who work morning or night. Just minutes away from Gateway and I-75.

Just a quick update - - I've been to many gyms along the way but none quite like NWDF - aside from the unbelievable training & workouts, I have made some lifelong friendships with owners, coaches, instructors and members - it truly is an extended family!2020 brought significant challenges - NWDF owners and staff did everything possible to keep everyone engaged and active - live group meetings and events on various platforms with instructional workouts, events, etc. - very effective and very much appreciated!Again - to the coaches and staff - all individuals with great knowledge, integrity and willingness to help, can't say enough about this - you all rock!Excellent staff and facility from top to bottom! Coaches are eager to teach and push everyone to achieve success without causing burn-out or violating individual abilities - and always offer personal attention where needed -Worthy of mention is the friendliness of all staff and membership - treat everyone like family - definitely a place to belong!+
