Made an inquiry about getting started and they were very rude. Also force you to buy their equipment. Don't recommend.

This place is awesome. Any beginners who have been putting off getting into MMA this is a great place to start. Everyone at the gym was warm and welcoming. I left my first class excited about starting down this road. Not to mention a great work out.

Would be 5 star but….EDIT: I have now edited this review to a five star. Thank you for the replyEDIT 2: I have now come to another conclusion that the training is quite expensive. Not to mention the fees you pay on your first sign up. A very expensive I believe $140. I do not understand this and I believe it has caused a lot of people to steer away from it. Maybe to a different gym.Boxing is $100 a month which isn't bad until you take into comparison of other gyms offering around $50-70 a month. Not to Take anything away from this gym. It's still good but it is pricey.Also boxing coaches without a doubt have favoritesSo in my opinion this is a great gym overall but here are a few reasons why I didn’t give it a 5 star.The boxing classes are boring and many, not just me but many feel that they are not learning much because all we do is hit the bag which is great for workout and form but we do not feel we can get good at boxing by just hitting the bag. And we wish the coach would do more one on one training.Muay Thai is great but i believe the coach should go over details more.As for the wrestling, it’s a 10/10 just wish there were more classes. But still a 10/10

This place is amazing,there's a lot of hard working fighters there and a great place to train I did a free trial for boxing and am going to be going regularly. Aaron is a great instructor and keeps the class fun while getting an intense workout. Also I met the owner and head coach, he introduced himself to me and gave me motivation to try other classes

My husband loves their classes. He spent a long time looking for a place to study and once he found this life's complete.

I swear, the vibe between a place like this and a big name gym is all different. I would never go back to somewhere like Planet Fitness. 🤢 …
