I tried out a trial kickboxing class and a trial Muay Thai class here. Even though I realized I’m not ready to train yet due to still healing from shoulder surgery, I was very impressed with the gym. The coaches are the real deal—experienced mixed martial arts competitors, with some who have fought in the UFC. The atmosphere felt authentic, like a true fighting gym, but also very welcoming. The coaches and staff were friendly and professional, and they made me feel comfortable right away. From what I saw, this is a top-notch place to train for anyone serious about martial arts.

One of the best training environments I've seen aside from the main facility at Coconut Creek. Great instruction, real training with top notch instruction, and a very welcoming group of staff. Will absolutely look to make this my next training facility and I can't wait to meet new friends Edwin Rivera

UPDATE (Long read): If you’re looking to get fit, learn real self-defense, or build discipline, this is the place to be. Oh my lord — this place has completely exceeded expectations I didn’t even know I had! The coaches here are AMAZINGGG. Coach Douglas, Dhiego, Brantley, and Samer are all incredibly thorough in how they teach, and they’ve helped me progress so much already. The classes are always interesting and give me the craziest workouts. Coach Dez is also incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to MMA. He’s always mixing things up and giving you the perfect “recipes” to take on any fighter. His classes are fun, exciting, and full of energy. This gym is truly for EVERYONE — it doesn’t matter your fitness level or martial arts background, they break everything down and teach you exactly what you need to know. I’m a 4th degree black belt in Taekwondo, so I came in with some experience in the world of martial arts — but since joining, I’ve completely expanded my horizons. There’s still so much more to learn, and I’m loving every second of it. The front desk staff are so kind and always on top of things — they really make sure everyone feels welcome. Beto is super attentive and takes great care of you. I seriously love this gym, and I’m so glad I made the decision to train here. It’s completely changed my life for the better and made me a better martial artist all around. Huge thank you to Douglas and Dhiego for creating such an amazing space 🥋 4 MONTHS AGO: ATT Team Lima is the BEST GYM! The front desk staff is AMAZINGG and the coaches are too. I’ve been training for over a year and I have seen so much progress. They make sure all their students understand what they’re doing and are very welcoming to newcomers. Needless to say this place has become a second home to me and I’m blessed enough to call everyone here family.

Their passion for martial arts and their genuine care for each individual’s growth shines through in every class. The cleanliness of the facility is impeccable. The mats and equipment are always spotless, giving you peace of mind while you train. It’s evident that hygiene is a top priority, which only adds to the professionalism of this gym. What sets ATT Team Lima apart is its incredibly family-friendly environment. Whether you’re an experienced fighter, a beginner, or a parent bringing your kids to learn, you’ll feel welcome here. The supportive atmosphere makes it a great place for everyone, regardless of age or background, to come together and grow. Another standout feature is the focus on self-defense. The instructors emphasize the importance of practical skills that can be applied in real-world situations, which is invaluable for building confidence and personal safety. If you’re looking for a gym that offers top-tier training, a clean and welcoming space, and a focus on community and self-improvement, American Top Team Team Lima is the place to be.

Very good gym, great Muy Thai class. I enjoyed it. Gym could be more organized far as costumer service, that’s lacking.
