It's definitely a tough form of exercise, whips you in shape. But it's limited in a sense. You go from station to station and in half hour you're all done. You've got cardio plus weight training in one. Great time saver. That's a plus. Down side. Very small, cramped area. I didn't feel comfortable. You're surrounded by other folks sweating but is not a group exercise. It's more like "parallel play" in childhood developmental talk LOL. Each kid in the room is doing his own thing, at his own station, but no interaction. Costly. Membership was nearly $700-1K for a year. Plus in the already cramped exercise area, the owner's dog was roaming near the members working out. Unhygienic. This world has literally gone to the dogs! I mean really, no kidding. I ended up joining LA fitness. More traditional gym, variety of choices - group classes, equipment, weights, cycling, swimming/ aqua exercise etc. Membership for a year under $400. Locations across the US to use.

Honestly, it felt like stepping into an Eminem music video - high energy, great vibe, and seriously motivating. My friend and I took the Strength & Boxing class, and wow - it was such a fun, challenging workout. Coach Mike was incredibly welcoming, and the entire class had a supportive, inclusive feel. Two days later, we're definitely feeling it (in the best way), and already looking forward to going back. Bonus: there's free parking in the lot on Myrtle, and it's super close to Beltline Brewery, so you can plan your post-workout reward accordingly.

A friend (and fellow Yelp Elite!) and I heard about MLC Personal and Group Training through one of…read moretheir friends, so we decided to check it out. We had a great experience! My friend and I came for the Wednesday, 6pm, "Strength and Boxing" class. There are a few parking lots around 500 Seneca so finding a parking spot wasn't a problem. It was a little confusing figuring out where the entrance to MLC Personal and Group Training was, but we were told to park in the parking lot on Myrtle Ave. and use the entrance on the same street. Once inside, we walked all the way to the end of the hall and MLC was through the doors on our right. We were impressed with how spacious it was but we were only on the top floor, the floor below was where the class was. It was just as big downstairs but the vibes here were awesome with plenty of equipment, music blaring, it felt like we found a secret boxing gym! Michael, our instructor, was great! He came right up to us and introduced himself, went over where everything was located (lockers, bathroom, showers, etc.) and showed us around the space, introducing us to our classmates. After that, he explained the warm up and let us go to tackle it. The class was excellent, putting us through various cardio, core, endurance, mobility, boxing exercises. My friend and I finished the class plenty sweaty and tired, but energized and proud. Michael did a great job checking on everyone throughout the class, encouraging us to push ourselves. After class, Michael gave us his card and highlighted the other classes and programs he offers. MLC Personal and Group Training is great! The gym is quite spacious and clean, with two floors, plenty of equipment, and a cool vibe/personality to it. The "Strength and Boxing" class will put you through your paces and make you sweat and Michael does a nice job checking on all the participants to make sure they're working hard and demonstrating proper technique. My friend and I are looking forward to coming back for another class!

I wanted to broaden my training and take a hiatus but still drop back in for open mats and the occasional class. Instead of acting like a mature business owner, Deacon Mike got physical and escorted me out. They come off as kind honest people until you mention training at other schools. The reason I'm going out of my way to write this review is to warn people to steer clear of this twisted academy. A couple of the many reasons I'm leaving a one star review because this school operates under an alternative agenda. They take advantage of kind people. The academy is not inclusive. I have witnessed misogynistic characteristics and anti LGBTQ comments by the owner, Mike. Two of their instructors have domestic violence history, one of which runs the kids BJJ program. To leave the school you must turn in a letter stating so. I handed my letter to leave the school to the owner, who reacted in a hot headed way. Meaning, this is when my jacket was grabbed and I was thrown out. This is after 6 years at the school. The owner pushes his religious beliefs on people, and deflects issues as somebody else's fault. He likes to label others' problems as having "victim mentality" and not his prerogative. He is immature, manipulative, and acts like he cares until you might decide to train elsewhere.

(This review is only for the Brazilian JiuJitsu program.) I haven't trained in a few years, but between BJJ and karate I've trained in martial arts for at least a decade. Have trained at a few different area schools and done seminars all over the state. Professor Eduardo Barboza is the real deal. Not only is he an accomplished competitor and IBJJF ranked athlete, he's also genuine, kind, encouraging, humble and professional. He's also very thorough. I love that there are multiple classes offered each day, and several different types: basics, beginner and all levels. It's a great variety, and they are adding additional classes in no gi next month (July 2021.) The facility is always super clean, students and staff are friendly. Rates are very comparable to other schools, no contracts. I'm excited to be training here and honored to be able to train with Professor Barboza.

Everything in my previous review stands. What I would like to add here is a bit about the kids…read moreprogram at WNY MMA. For a long time I saw the kids program from a distance even though I train with the two people who coach the kids (and love training with them). When I had my best friend's 5yo stay with me for two weeks though, I got a very good look at how the kids program runs and really want to share that experience to help others looking for a good, safe, supportive environment for their kids to blow of steam and gain self-confidence. There are five class options per week: 2 days of jiu jitsu, 1 day of wrestling, and 2 days of kick boxing. Coach Matt and Coach Cavemen start the kids with warmups and stretches, then do games and some time focused on technique. The kids have an absolute blast, are encouraged to engage each other respectfully, and are rewarded with high fives and the chance to earn class champion. D was a little uncertain at first. He was visiting so he didn't know the other kids except for one he met right before his first class. Over the course of the next two weeks both coaches were able to draw him out of his shell until he was just as enthusiastic as the other kids. They were aware of his body language and often realized that when he just stood there not participating it was because he was unsure how to do whatever they were doing, so one of them would come over and walk him through whatever it was. Both coaches are great with the kids and have a ton of patience (on top of both being excellent at the techniques they are teaching). There are two age group options and both groups are full of kids who clearly love being there. I've been training here for over a year and am really glad that I got a chance to experience another aspect of the gym that I hadn't paid close attention before. I would definitely recommend this as a great experience for kids.
