Been training here for a little more than a year. Coaches are good at what they do in every way. Most of the training partners Ive had know when to push you, and when to back off. Every training partner Ive had is willing to help you learn. And also willing to learn from you. Lost 60-70 pounds in a year and had great experiences. The only problem I can think of is that sometimes there's not enough space for everyone training. But really that just means that there are lots of people coming to class and staying after to practice. Says alot about the quality and culture of the gym.

I love it here. It’s a friendly atmosphere and the training classes really have you feeling like a champion. They have get together often where they like to give back to those who train at the gym😁. I would recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for a home gym. …

My son started attending Area 502 at 14 and I now consider this place a second home. It has been almost 5 years and I couldn’t imagine life with out the gym, the owner, trainers and all those that walk in and out of the doors.

Last night was my first experience at Area 502 MMA. I participated in a "trial run" of the women's boxing class. It was awesome!! I am not in the best shape and have no boxing experience. Coach Aaron was so helpful and encouraging but also gave needed tough love. The other ladies in the class were very helpful, supportive, and encouraging. Very friendly atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!!!

Amazing gym with amazing staff. The classes are challenging but the coaches are amazing and take their time teaching. I've even lost a little over 25 pounds in the 6 weeks I've been coming here!

My experience with this gym was nothing less then educational and amazing. The training and coaches at this place have awesome attitudes towards everyone and is very welcoming. I come from playing sports all my life but nothing combat sport related until I went to this gym, there's a different level of respect at Area 502 and they made the lessons fun to. Highly recommended 👌
