What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Brian Fix
"Pete was very knowledgeable, and showed exuberance towards his students. The workout flowed nicely, and had great energy/pace. 10/10 would recommend. Wish I had a bandaid for my big toe as twisting tore the skin, but I’m not a crybaby and pushed through it."
Nate Flint
"Variety of classes offered week in and week out. Pete (owner) does an excellent job teaching students. I came in with little experience and have an absolute blast every time I attend a class. Morning and night options available! Whether you’re new to mixed martial arts or you’re an expert join our team! It’s a fantastic workout!"
