Project Achilles is hands down one of the best boxing/MMA gyms in Chicago. From the moment you walk in, you feel the energy and dedication of the coaches and the community. The trainers are highly skilled, passionate, and genuinely invested in helping you improve. The weapons training class is also phenomenal! The facility is clean, well equipped, and has a real no-nonsense vibe that pushes you to be your best. What really sets Project Achilles apart is the culture supportive, intense, and focused on growth in every way, both mentally and physically. I can’t recommend it enough. 👏

I’ve been training at Project Achilles for about a month, and I can’t recommend it enough. Whether you’re a total beginner or an experienced fighter, this gym has something for everyone. The energy, the community, and the quality of instruction are all top-notch. Armand and Adrien are phenomenal coaches—both incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. Adrien brings intensity and precision to every Muay Thai session, while Armand’s BJJ instruction is technical, clear, and super effective. They both push you to be your best without ever making you feel out of place. The environment is welcoming, motivating, and focused. You’ll get stronger, more skilled, and walk out every day knowing you gave it your all. If you’re looking for a serious gym with world-class coaching and a real sense of community, Project Achilles is the place to be.
