From the reviews
World class level of coaches but they are very humble and nice. This is my first mixed martial arts gym in my life but I can say it is top class gym. Huge and clean, good time schedule, variety class, treat all people well. You can be stronger physically and mentally.
The main coach knows his stuff and still trains which I don’t see a lot of head coach’s do! Awesome stuff overall for this gym 👍

Extraordinarily addictive workouts for all ages. Adult full body workouts in groups or individual training with a trainer. Get in best shape. Get shredded. Gain confidence. Lost weight. Tone the body and lose the flab. Learn self defence or just workout.
New to kickboxing? Start at AntDawg's MMA Training Center
AntDawg's MMA Training Center comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 AntDawg's MMA Training Center
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.
