The best academy that I have ever been to. This place has been helping me get stronger, tougher, and most importantly having discipline.

Almost 4 years ago I started a new fitness routine I didn't think I would enjoy as much as I do. I…read moreused to attend one of those bigger gyms, walking in and out alone. Not sure what machine was gonna get me the results I wanted. Not sure who to get advice from on the floor about improving myself physically. Then 4 years ago I walked into 9Round and I felt something different. I felt a community. I felt a family, dedicated to boosting each other up! I felt a group of people who came together not for 6 pack abs and clout, but came together because "health is wealth." Feeling strong. Feeling healthier. Feeling growth at any age was progress. And that completely changed the way I felt about myself and my fitness. In 4 years I've seen myself grow in how I dedicate myself here. I walk in with a smile. Come out 30-40 mins later with a bigger smile. Pam, Randy, and all the team have made me feel so welcome and a part of this community that there isn't any other place I'd rather give my all every chance I get. Thank you guys for all you do!

Going to a gym can at time feel like a chore. Thankfully, that's not the case here. The owners…read morePam and Randy have built an amazing community here. Going everyday is something I look forward to. The members are great and the staff is amazing. The trainers really get to know you and push you the right ways to do more than you thought you could do. Props to the trainers but I will shout out Coach Scott. He kicks my butt every time but does it by motivating me. Awesome coach, but the whole team is like that. Love this place!

My husband and I have been coming here for a few weeks now, and I seriously cannot say enough…read morepositive things about OC Muay Thai. To start, my husband takes once a week privates and is signed up for their weekly classes. I'm currently in grad school so I take once a week privates. Let me tell you: 1.) You will never find a group of more genuine, kind hearted and caring people to teach you Muay Thai or boot camp. Neil coaches my guy and I and he is such an honest and real person. He pushes you, but always safely. David, the owner, is the coolest and he is so honest - he really cares about the people who come to stay here and even those who just come through. Hamid is an absolute joy to be around - he's always happy and energetic. Despite me entering the gym with 0 knowledge in Muay Thai, I have never once felt judged, embarrassed, or any other negative emotions because these dudes just aren't those types of people. 2.) the gym itself is pretty freaking awesome. It's large, it's spacious, the equipment is good and clean and the ring is kept clean. There's never any weird smell (I'm looking at you 24 hour fitness) and I love that their ceilings are high as hell so that there's just a ton of space. 3.) I cant speak for the classes since I haven't been, but husband LOVES them and he is always happy to go and come back from them. He tells me about how helpful everyone is and how even though people are at different stages, everyone holds each other up. There's no "me versus you" feeling. Everyone is here to learn and egos are checked at the door. 4.) The privates with Neil will kick your ass. Enough said. Neil is a lovely, personable guy and he will push you - but as I said, always safely. For example I got a foot cramp today and he stopped the lesson for a few minutes to help me breathe and stretch through it. All in all, I love this place and it's becoming a second home to my husband and I. I look forward to every day that I come in here and I can't wait to get better.

The facility…read moreis extremely well maintained, and the staff and coaches have always been a pleasure to work with. Every coach has their own unique teaching style with so much to gain from every class! Oka is a place you look forward to coming back to every time. Not only for the intense workouts but for the community. Staff and fellow members become family and everyone is constantly uplifting and looking out for each other. It's all hard work, good vibes, and positive energy here!

ŌKA is the best gym I've trained at, and it's not even close. I'm there 3 to 5 times a week and I…read morestill look forward to every session. The community is the biggest reason. New people get taken care of, longtime members still get pushed, and everyone wants you to get better. That's harder to find than it sounds. Ron, the owner, is a big part of why it feels that way. He knows his stuff at a level you notice immediately, but what stands out more is that he actually cares about every person in the room. He remembers what you're working on and checks in on it. The rest of the coaches are the same way. I've never left a class without something I could use the next time I trained. I'm in the best shape of my life and I'm still learning constantly. I highly recommend ŌKA Kickboxing Club!

I started my journey with Total MMA January 24th, signing up for the 6week challenge in Kickboxing…read more It's been 6 months since then and what started as a 6 week challenge to help me get out of my plateau ended up becoming a lifelong commitment for me. Before this gym and before BJJ and Kickboxing/Muay Thai, I wasn't very confident in myself. I struggled to have hard conversations, make hard decisions and stick to commitments. I knew I needed to be better but I just didn't know how to be comfortable being uncomfortable. Well, that six week challenge did more for me than anything else I had done before. It put in an uncomfortable amount of effort, pain, stress, and happiness! I was terrified, I was never good at cardio, I would always throw up (and I did my first class!) but what I found is everyone here is rooting for you. Coach Eric who conducted my first class was so proud that I made it back into the class even after the bathroom break. Because all the coaches here have started where you have started. And they are here to support you, guide you and help you mold yourself into the best version of yourself. In completing the six week challenge, I had found the best version of myself. Someone I had desired to be but didn't know how to get there. I'm confident in my abilities, in my body, in my mind, in putting myself in uncomfortable positions and knowing I have what it takes to overcome it and succeed. I have made so many friends and found that I really have made this gym my second home! Coach Eric, Carlos, Regis and Coach Marcello are so supportive and incredible teachers who are so knowledgeable and great at pushing you forward and to your goals. If you're on the fence, take that leap of faith. It's worth it, even if it's just for the 6 weeks! You'll come out stronger and better than you were then. And if you're a woman, come on over we're more than excited to have more women join and be part of our girl team!

I first came to Total MMA Studios with zero Brazilian Jiu Jitsu experience, and several months…read morelater I'm even more impressed than when I started. The coaching has been excellent across the board, and the atmosphere is one of the best parts of the gym. People work hard, but there's no ego or posturing--just a welcoming group that's happy to help each other improve. Most of my training has been with Instructor Marcello, and he's been outstanding. He's knowledgeable, patient, funny, and somehow manages to challenge everyone while making beginners feel comfortable. I'm also looking forward to trying some of the cardio kickboxing classes and boot camps. It's nice that there's more here than just Jiu Jitsu. If you're thinking about giving martial arts a shot, whether you're brand new or getting back into it, I'd absolutely recommend Total MMA Studios.
