We love this place! My daughter takes the women's class and takes private kick boxing lessons with Jose! She has learned so much from these classes and Willie, Jose, and the rest of the gang are AWESOME people! Jose is an AMAZING trainer, very patient and kind! They are just great trainers and they truly care about you and what they do. This is such a great place and I encourage anyone that wants to try something like this to please give Ultimate MMA a chance! You won't regret it!

The trainers are extremely friendly and professional. 5 years old and up are all welcome. Ultimate MMA is the best of the best. Group and individual training for almost every age is available. My 6 year old boy and 5 year old girl absolutely love it. Highest recommendation.

I love it. It is family friendly. They have great trainers that slow down and work with you to make sure you are actually learning what they teach and the people training with you are laid back and friendly plus the first class is free so you can get a feel for it to find out if it is something that is for you or not before you put your money into it. I would suggest this gym to anyone who would like to give mma or self defense a try.
