The training at Shift Combat Sports is literally one of the most challenging and rewarding things I have ever done. Everyone is supportive and inviting. The instructors are patient. On one of the most challenging days for me, I was struggling through a conditioning circuit and the members of the entire gym were cheering me on to finish. It feels like a family.

This place is absolutely amazing. I have been to multiple other gyms and locations, but with SHIFT I believe you get your money’s worth. The couching staff is the best and they are always willing to answer any questions you may have. The thing that I love most about this gym is how they push the pace and keep you busy throughout each session. The environment of this gym is always positive and motivating. All of their equipment like bags, mats , pads and etc are top tier. They keep everything super organized and clean. This place has a bright future and I 100% recommended it to anyone who wants to get in shape or just go to have some fun.

I met Coach Adam back in 2017 while I was mostly training Jui Jitsu. I was not interested in getting punched in the face, but he convinced me to “just try a bag class.” After the first class, I was hooked. I got to learn the technique behind what seemed like a chaotic sport but was actually a beautiful dance and make changes to my body that I didn’t think were possible heading into my 40’s. He made exercise seem (mostly) fun! Now, well into my 40’s, I have a place to go that challenges me physically and mentally. An added bonus is the people who train along side me. They are some of the most interesting people I’ve met and several have become life long friends.
