This gym has become like a second home for me. The classes are great and I’m learning so much, but there’s also a great sense of community here. I’m the type of person that always feels inadequate when … More I try new things but I’m always so encouraged by the instructors and my peers. I really can’t say enough about this gym. Highly recommend!

Chelsea Roberts ★★★★★
If you are looking for a self-defense focused gym, look no further than Elite Training Center. While learning how to defend yourself and to protect those you love, you are also bound to build new connections … More and friendships here.
Everyone I have met at the gym, instructors and students alike, embody the school’s values of Respect, Honor, Discipline, and Strength. As you can imagine, when people of all ages and backgrounds of sound character come together, a strong community is built effortlessly.
The classes can be physically and mentally challenging, but personal growth isn’t given, it’s earned. At Elite, you will be able to grow and develop your martial arts skills while being a part of a solid community cheering you on every step of the way.

What a fantastic place, staff and members! I was a bit timid and procrastinated to join earlier. I started as a rookie, very basic. Once I walked in Katie made it very comfortable, then the instructors, … More and the members made it very easy and amicable for me on the mat. I quickly felt I belong here. Awesome group of human beings, You get to work out and learn new skills! You move at your own pace with great instruction and advise. Big time 5 stars. Well deserved. Elite Training Center rocks!
