Elevate has been my first experience training MMA and the past six months have been great. Solid coaching, teammates, and inviting atmosphere across many levels. Keep up the good work!

The culture and the people are incredible; it feels like a family. After training at a different bjj gym that didn't have separate beginner classes or modifications, I'm still working to get my confidence up on the mat and there isn't a better place to do that. Top notch instructors and a variety of class options enable me to always feel safe in my practice. Highly recommend!

Elevate MMA is a great place to learn martial arts or continue your training. The crew there is easy to work with and everybody helps everybody get better. This is my home gym. Stop by if you want to continue your training or learn something new, you won't regret it.

I had an idea of what I wanted in an MMA gym and the diversity of grappling and striking classes are on point. It's the most inviting and friendliest place I've ever trained in. I highly recommend this place!

Elevate MMA Academy is not just a gym, but has become a second home! I joined Elevate MMA Academy last April with no prior experience. Cody (the owner) and everyone in the team are friendly and welcoming. The instructors I've had: Schroeder, Shayaan and Cody are all extremely patient, knowledgeable and helpful in teaching both new and advanced students. I highly recommend Elevate MMA Academy!

I've trained at several gyms in years past and this gym is by far the most welcoming. Cody has done a great job promoting a great gym culture where the more experienced folks are more than willing to help out new people. Cody is a great instructor, gives logical and practical progressions for techniques and makes sure to give tips while drilling. I couldn't think of a better place to continue my martial arts journey.

I have been training at Elevate for about a year. I have practiced Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at a few other places in the country, and this gym by far has one of the greatest feels out there. It's a wonderful facility for hobbyists and martial artists of all ages, backgrounds, and interests. I highly recommend the Elevate team!

Elevate MMA Academy is top notch and has a great culture! Cody is the best instructor I've ever had. I will be investing a lot of my time and money into this gym for all those reasons. They are moving in great directions with a great team and I'm really excited to be a part of that.

Just started there yesterday. I do BJJ and I was looking for a solid Muay Thai class to add striking to my repertoire. I go in and it was EXACTLY what I was looking for. The class with D'Juan went into more than drill after drill. It went into the technique. It went into the strategy. It went into the theory of WHY you do certain combos, what they set you up for, where they are weak, where they are strong, everything (even why some moves will be better suited for sport vs. self-defense and vice versa). The man is hands down the best striking instructor I have found to date.
I then stuck around Cody's No Gi grappling class. Again, very tactical in each application. I am still green around the ears when it comes to BJJ, and what he taught really exposed some areas I haven't even thought about before.
Both these guys have impressive fighting records (which you can look up). Long story short - they know there stuff. Better yet, they know how to teach it.
The students there are very humble and welcoming. They had no qualms walking me through the more complex motions. Really looking forward to getting to know everybody there.
The facility is clean. Zero funky smell (until class starts, in which you can't blame people for sweating). Which, let me tell you, is really nice - the cleanliness; not the sweating :)
Seriously, do yourself a favor and check this gym out. These guys are the bomb.

I've trained at Elevate for seven months and have highly enjoyed my experience. The Academy offers specific classes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Striking as well as MMA. They also offer "Kinstretch" classes which focus on improving mobility and joint health. All classes supply clear, technical instruction from instructors able to provide different cues for correct movement mechanics.
The mats and facilities are clean and have everything one needs to practice martial arts. The sense of community is excellent. Members are welcoming and helpful to newcomers and you can see the camaraderie that has developed among those who have trained together for a while. Highly recommended.

This is the best MMA academy I have ever set foot in. The attention to detail during instruction, diversity in training and the community vibes set this place apart for me. No wonder we have almost 100 members at this academy and we are still growing. They also brought in another black belt recently to teach a movement, mobility and kinesthetic awareness class which is working wonders for my injuries and mobility. Weather you are a beginer or a pro, If you are serious about wanting to learn MMA this is the perfect place to go to.

The instruction here is dedicated, detailed, and passionate. The members and atmosphere here are both super welcoming. The mats are busy and if you want to elevate your practice you need to come by and try this place out!

Elevate is by far the nicest martial arts gym I have been to. It is always clean and welcoming, and the instruction is some of the best I have encountered as well. Highly recommended.

The kind of gym you want to practice martial arts, no matter if you're just starting or switching gyms, the friendly environment combined with good technical and experienced instructors makes Elevate a great place to train!

Incredible instructors and staff. Hands down the most welcoming gym I have ever been to. Family atmosphere and they work with all skill levels. The facility and mats are always clean. Can't recommend Elevate MMA enough.
