Amazing gym. There are some very very experienced dudes in there that will bring you from a starter to more advanced in no time if you really want it. Everyone is very smart and humble no huge ego or bad sports which was big for me. 10/10 recommend and very good price for students and fighting in general.

Cannot speak more highly of striker. Came in as an absolute beginner and have learned an immense amount in the past 4 months I’ve been able to train here. The facilities, instructors, and community are all absolutely phenomenal! If I wasn’t moving I absolutely would continue training here and renewing my membership will be the first thing I do if I move back!!

I can’t even truly capture with words how amazing this gym is. It is such a welcoming, yet competitive environment that drives you to try your hardest. All of the coaches are awesome; they know so much and are able to break things down for people at any level to understand. Not only are the coaches great, but Gina is an amazing owner as well! If you’re in town, definitely stop in, you wouldn’t want to miss it!

Training at Striker Fight Center has been one of the most impactful decisions I’ve made for both my confidence and mental health. From day one, the environment struck the perfect balance of tough and supportive. You’re surrounded by real fighters, but it’s incredibly welcoming, even if you’re brand new. Huge shoutout to Coaches Stevie and Frank, and Gina as well. You can tell how much they genuinely care about the people in the gym. They push you, they’re honest with you, and they create an atmosphere where you want to keep showing up. I’ll never forget my first class kicking my ass in the best way. It forced me to take a hard look at myself, clean up my diet, and get serious. I dropped 10 pounds in a month, started putting weight back on the right way, and saw real changes in my body almost immediately. The coaching is real and direct, which I appreciated. I still laugh thinking about Coach Frank telling me to get my knees up or I was “only hitting a toddler in the face.” That kind of honesty sticks with you and makes you better. The only reason I’m stepping away is distance. A 40-minute commute made consistency tough, otherwise I wouldn’t be leaving. If you’re anywhere nearby and want a place to build confidence, improve your mental health, and let out some steam in a healthy way, Striker is the real deal.
