From the reviews
Friendly, non-toxic culture, clean facility... ApexMMA is a welcoming place for all skill levels and ages. Coach Mike is a coach's coach -- he keeps a rigorous pace, but is mindful of burnout; super technical and a true teacher. Highly recommend if you're in the area
What a great place to train! Mike has an excellent vibe at APEX, and is a great instructor. Would highly recommend coming to train here.
Both my children started clases at APEX MMA Gym approximately 6 weeks ago. The classes they have taken at APEX have made an immense impact and improvement in their mental clarity, energy and attitude (both are teenagers and that’s not easy to do!).
You get the Best of both worlds with this new gym! Mike has deep “traditional martial arts roots” But he’s also been part of the MMA community since the late 1990s! He’s fought MMA, but he’s also had “real world experience” bouncing at clubs and doing personal security for A list celebrities.
New to kickboxing? Start at Apex MMA Gym
Apex MMA Gym 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 Apex MMA Gym
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.
