This place is the real deal. A pretty active athlete throughout high school (tennis, ran with cross…read morecountry kids, lifted heavy weights), I fell off the track after graduation and was in desperate need for something that would push and challenge me. I tried going to the gym, which worked out for a while, but I soon became bored with the constant repetition. I needed something a little more interesting. Lo and behold, I stumbled across this gym. Met the owner Jeff on an open gym day, who offered a free class before a membership, but I decided to become a member right then and there anyways. Best decision I could've possibly made. Here's a mental picture of a typical weekday evening, maybe around 7: walking into the gym, the first thing you see and hear are the punching bags. The smack of gloves against rubber, and then a timer going off every minute or so at a constant rate. Look to your right, a small class of new members doing a warm up. Look up at the boxing ring, a sparring match is taking place while the owner Jeff is on the sideline throwing in commentary for improvement. Chairs by the front might be occupied by a mom or two, watching as her little ones learn the basics of shadow boxing and how to wrap their hands for protection. All whilst rap music is blasting throughout the gym. With this scene in front of you, you won't be able to shake off this need to put in some work. Moving onto the actual classes. Not going to lie, the first few days suck. The workout with the instructor Jorge is going to kick your ass- I've been here for a little more than a month and for some classes I show up to, there's someone running to the bushes outside to puke at the very end. I've seen a military personnel practically winded- guess boot camp has nothing on here! But as the weeks pass by, you start noticing that hey... I did 10 more than the last time. This doesn't suck as much. And you start noticing how your stamina is improving, and that makes everything so incredibly worthwhile. You can thank Jorge for that, an amazing instructor who will push you beyond your boundaries, but understands that the body still has physical limits and will always want your health to come first. All around fantastic gym with great energy. I highly recommend to anyone seeking out a good workout for a very good deal, wants to relieve some stress, or plan on becoming the next Rocky. This is the place you want to be at.

1) DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD. 2) THE OWNER THROWS…read moreTEMPER TANTRUMS OR TRYS TO INTIMIDATE HIS CUSTOMERS. 3) TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE HANDLE FUNDS AND THERE'S OFTEN MISCOMMUNICATION. My son and I joined the gym Jan 2022, I cancelled our member in March 2022 with his girlfriend because we were leaving town in May 2022 for the summer. I was not charged in April 2022, so I thought everything was OK because initial membership you pay 1st and last months dues and we stop coming in April 2022 so everything was fine. I checked my flex account in July and realized charges reinstated in May, June, and July (2022) from Katy Boxing. So when I got back to town in July 2022 I went to the gym to talk with Rodney. I let him know I was still being charged and I was definitely going to return to the gym in September when school started for my son. So he said he would make it right. I also told Rodney I had funds in my flex account that needed to be spent before August 2022 and I wanted to pay in advance for the school year 2022-2023. Rodney gave me a credit for the months I was being charged after I cancelled to correct the invalid charges for (May,June, &July 2022) and said I could use those funds for fall of 2022 Sept, Oct, & Nov when i returned to the gym. I told him I also wanted to pay in advance for (2023) Feb, Mar, & April since i needed to spend those flex accountfunds. He agreed said I he would discount May (50% off). Since i was paying so far in advance. I had $400 to spend I even bought a bag that I didn't need or get until Oct just to support his business. The bags weren't even in. We agreed I was paid up until June 1, 2023. We did not go to the gym in during the holidays Dec 2022 and Jan 2023. When we returned to the gym in September 2022 everything was fine, in January 2023 they (his girlfriend) started trying to charge my card again. I let her know I was paid up until June 1. Good thing the flex card changes every year because the transactions were declined. When March came Rodney brings me in his office to discuss my account. He said I was only paying like $25/month and I hadn't paid since July 2022. I explained to him we agreed I paid up until June 1. Unfortunately, he doesn't remember our agreement and the receipts don't explain the details of our agreement. So a couple days later I bring my computer to explain our agreement because he said he doesn't remember and he THROWS A FULL OUT TEMPER TANTRUM and says he doesn't understand the payments/receipts. He's yelling saying I only paid $25/month??? Amounts that were not correct. I reminded him we did not come to the gym April, May, June, & July 2022. I reminded him that I came on July 18 and paid $373 and paid in advance for Feb, Mar, April, & May 2023. AFTER I had already paid July 1 2022. I tried to show him the receipts. He wouldn't listen and told me to get out, my businessis no longer wanted. I reminded him in June 2022 I gave him a total of $473 and I wasn't even coming because I work abroad during the summer. I sent him the receipts in text and explained again but to no avail he conveniently didn't understand. He said membersip dues is month to month and I paid months that I did not attend. I explained to him that I would not have paid in advance if this was the case. Needless to say we will not return and I DO NOT recommend anyone to patrons his business until he gets a book keeping system that holds both parties accountable. We went to Katy Boxing one day a week (Wed), my son enjoyed the classes but if the coach is out of control and doesn't know how to handle his business with patrons, I will not return. I recommend ALL customers to pay monthly and get a detailed receipt for whatever service you pay for. DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO SAVE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO. I don't understand the out of control TEMPER, I never raised my voice and always treated him with respect. Extremely disappointing because my son actually enjoyed training with me once a week. I am attaching the payments so customers can see for themselves.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Everyone I encounter at this establishment! Coach Anthony…read moreis genuine in everything he does and teaches. His performance and upbeat attitude will push you to limits you never knew you could achieve. Bella by far is a superb Assistant Manager that can juggle taking care of the books to selling, answering phones helping everyone settle in and making us all feel welcomed with her sweetness, and still finds the time to workout. Jesus signed me up and ensured me that I would not regret signing up. He was very nice and knowledgeable to help me make my decision and never will he ever pressure you to sign up. Coach Shawn is exceptional and committed to ensuring you learn how to box while keeping you motivated. Coach Moses and his positive energetic personality shines all while still maintaining a hard but fun workout. Coach Christina is the heart and passion. She starts the day off with morning classes and with her technique you will never fail. Coach Edith is tiny but mighty and I love her coaching/boxing style. Coach Gaby is the GOAT of boxing. He is tough, always in good spirit and will have you performing like a boxer for real. Reggie has an incredible attitude anytime I see him and an amazing team!

I've been going to this place for exactly one year and boy it has been an amazing place to be in! I…read moredid have reallllly epic pictures and reviews before but Yelp had deleted the previous page (the business owner consolidated the pages for all Elite branches and deactivated them so the owner can manage them 'officially'), and I have to start from scratch. Let me just say this is my background: -- I learned Muay Thai when I was in middle school but it only lasted 3 months since it was only a summer thing my parents wanted my siblings and I to do. -- In college, I took a cardio kickboxing class for 1 semester and I thought it was pretty nice but not a lot of self-defence (none at all actually!). It was taught by a really exuberant and energetic trainer and she (I believe to this day) still teaches cheerleading. Yes. My fitness instructor in college was a cheerleader coach as well!!! -- Lastly, I played college sports, so I had my coach along with my fitness trainer. They taught us how to train well and eat well. However, no self-defense discipline. Now, to the review: I ran across Elite MMA by accident since I was interested in doing martial arts again but I really needed the motivation to go to the mats. My type of work does not allow a lot of flexibility and it involves working at night, therefore, I'm usually tired by the time I get on, or lacked a lot of sleep, or I'm pretty much starving since my sleep/meal schedule is always changing. I am very good at reading people well (it's part of my occupation) and I must say I have never met such a personable Coaches like Robert and Julian. 1) They are very passionate about their students and their wellbeing --- if I ever had kids of my own in the future, I would feel comfortable having these guys train them on how to roll. I also watch Robert with his own kid, and I must say he loves him to death --- note to parents: if a man cannot manage his household in a loving way, how can you expect him to care for yours? 2) They are very active in BJJ and encourages ALL of us to continue training all year long. Robert and Julian also compete so they continuously learn new things and teach us new moves. This leads to the next topic: 3) The Coaches train us to roll SAFELY! This is very important to me since I am familiar of other gyms/fitness centres that do not care about your personal well-being, (and dare I say it!?), just want your money! If I can tell that they're pressuring me to join them, I'll just refuse their offer since my health is more important than being out of the job. 4) Accountability. When you're missing for more than 1 week, they send you an email to see how you're doing. If Robert has your mobile number, he'll make sure to check that you're ok. If I'm having difficulty going to class because of work or I'm ill, all I need to do is let them know and it will put Robert and Julian at ease :-D 5) They have monthly events going on all the time. There are competitions and belt promotions going on. Families enjoy it and are having a blast. You should check out their "Lock-ins!" There are pizza, movies, and fun games for the kids! 6) Lastly, I can't thank Robert and Julian and the rest of the guys and gals for their friendships. They promote healthy relationships in this branch of Elite (I am not sure how the other branches are like). Going to a BJJ gym like Elite is worth it if you can always look forward to meeting your classmates there. Bonus: They also have cardio kick boxing! I have not done that myself (I would but it's just overkill for me on top of what I have on my plate!) Overall, check them out and have fun! Coach Robert and Julian, (and pretty much all the guys/gals/teens) will make you feel at home. I have never regretted ever joining them and I will sorely miss them. I learned to be disciplined and to be able to take care of myself in all situations :-D
