From the reviews
I use to come from all the way from Queens, NY to train in this gym. Professor Crow has been welcoming to me and my friends since day 1. What I like about this gym is that it's both community and competition based.
As one of the first female member of the gym, I’ve always felt incredibly secure, safe, and part of a family here. I started my martial arts journey at 18 with a few boxing lessons and then transitioned to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
The best mixed martial arts gym in Westchester County! Animals MMA is one big happy family with knowledgable and helpful coaches in a positive learning environment. They offer numerous martial arts classes like Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai kickboxing, wrestling, boxing, and mma.
Excellent all inclusive MMA gym. Kickboxing, boxing, Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, they do it all here. Very friendly staff and the owner is a really good guy. I would highly recommend anyone come in and try a class. Ask for Timmy at the front desk and wear gym clothes.
New to kickboxing? Start at Animals MMA Yonkers
Animals MMA Yonkers comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Animals MMA Yonkers
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
