In just over a month my son has absolutely fallen in love with the program at Spartan! We got him started for the discipline aspect but he is also learning skills that he can carry with him for life. Could not recommend Spartan more!

Great gym. Good for general fitness and 10/10 MMA training. There’s great striking, grappling, and strength and conditioning available with a stellar staff.

I was there years ago, trained everyday, strength and conditioning, jiujitsu, and muy thai for a month straight. What made me stop coming was the fact that they let some people who say they have experience get promoted within a week. Then the coaches, especially Kenny doesn't take criticism when I made that comment. I was told I wasn't a martial artist by Kenny. So I moved on, I guess I'll just protect myself with gun jitsu. I had prior experience before coming to Spartan but I was humble enough to try to learn their way. But they do pick favorites, well at least from when I came there. I hope others will have a better experience than I had.
