My husband and I joined Elite MMA one year ago, and we are absolutely hooked! Joining an MMA gym was intimidating at first (to say the least!), but the staff has been so incredibly welcoming. Our coaches, Mitch and Jose, have been awesome and so supportive. I can't speak highly enough about Elite's gym culture; you're treated like family, and everyone is a student. As a woman, I need to add that Eric and Hai have created such an egalitarian environment at the gym. If any of you ladies have reservations about joining, rest assured; I've felt nothing but respect and positivity while training.
There are multiple locations and classes to choose from: Kardio Kickboxing (a great workout!), Fight Fit, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, MMA, Muay Thai, Self-Defense, and Boxing, among others. My husband and I previously worked out 4-5x a week. We lifted weights, did spin classes, played tennis and basketball, and trained for 5k's/a half marathon. However, training at Elite has been our toughest workout thus far. Additionally, training together as a couple and learning self-defense and martial arts skills have been added motivations to showing up at class.
There's no better stress relief than taking a long day at work out on a bag. Joining Elite was one of the best decisions we've made!
