The reception lady was super nice and gave good info but the gym itself just sucks to be honest. I scheduled my first class today at 5:30 am. In my head, class should start at 5:30 am. Issue number one was when I booked it I was told I would get a confirmation text about my visit. Nothing! I checked my email. Nothing! So I still show up. She said be there 5-10 mins early I get that at 5:22 am. The whole gym is closed and no one there. I wait a bit because I used to work at a gym and I know sometimes people can be late. Guess what?! A white car pulls up. I'm like cool another student. Nope! Some white man who looked like he just got out of bed and gets out of his car. Does he greet me? Does he say he give me a moment let me get the gym set up? Nope! Just looks pissed off he's up super early and looks miserable and looks like he just rolled out of bed. Honestly I waited another 4-5 mins seeing if he would kind of get out of hiding. Nope just never saw him again. Saw the gym lights on. Didn't even see him unlock the door. Went missing for quite sometime. So I just left. This was supposed to be my first class visit and it completely was not what I was expecting. I'm pretty active already. Today I was going to rest more after slowly getting over something I caught from Labor Day weekend and was excited to try something to as a workout. But this place really is a disappointment.

I can't personally attest to the workouts, but there are several classes offered throughout the week and they definitely wear out a teenager who has extra energy to spare! Definitely recommend checking it out for anyone curious about MMA gyms.

The first thing that drew me to actually contacting Midtown MMA was the 30 day free trial. The first thing that drew me to actually showing up was getting a call from Chris about an hour after I submitted my form online. The first thing that drew me to sign up full time was after the first class when I realized that Midtown MMA was more than I could have hoped for! After a few short months, Midtown MMA has helped boost my confidence in my physical and mental ability to defend myself. You build on the physical side during the first part of the class where Chris leads you through a "warm-up" which is more like a mini boot-camp that leaves you with a good burn. The mental and physical side is continually built through the second portion of class as you work on muscle memory routines, perfecting techniques, following drills, and self guided practice. The great thing about Midtown MMA is that your motivation doesn't come from someone yelling at you, it comes from the everyone else giving it there all and encouraging you to test your limits. Everyone is there to learn the proper techniques and advanced students are more than will to give and take constructive criticism when working in teams. There are a good mix of males and females of all different physical capabilities which lead to good match-ups during the drills. No one is there to judge you, I have never had that feeling even when I thought I must look pretty goofy. Chris is an awesome instructor who keeps the class relaxed but professional and directed. He's good about gauging what each student needs to focus on during the drills - technique or power - and making corrections for individual students during the drills. He is interested in the needs of the class and will reserve certain sessions to address student questions. It is easy to have a lot of respect for Chris. This helps make you accountable and give you that extra boost to show up for training on the (rare!) occasion that you may be less motivated to do so. If you decide to sign up and pay, I believe you pick a 6 month or one year program. I think it averages to about $12 a class. I'm doing this with my husband and we were able to work our a 2 for less than 2 kinda deal.

    This Krav Maga Houston location has excellent instructors who know how to teach good fundamentals…read more If you are looking for a place to start, this school will really help you understand and dedicate time to working on the basics of boxing. I'm giving it two stars because if you are a POC, LGBTQIA+, or not a theist, this is probably not a safe place for you. Additionally, women are not treated with the same regard as men. If those things are less important to you, you'll be quite happy here. I'm writing this review as someone who has trained with and was part of the organization. I wanted to let others reading reviews know that many of these positive reviews are from people who are dedicated to the organization, much like I once was. I trained here for almost 6 years. I feel regret and sadness when I remember how I participated in and recruited for this community. They give free trial classes and are very welcoming to new comers. They also have an online intro class: https://www.kravmagahouston.com/online-intro-class-video/?vgo_ee=tOM8fxgf7AtIAuv09spDKr75exZJPGwvOcPrNxzPEu%2BZwtg%3D%3AKDX4JfdF9M%2BWjVcA2hqSBT%2FFsGTClW5U As always, see for yourself and decide.

    BEWARE!!! High-pressure contract sales (think time-share or…read moresleazy used car sales reps), and they DO NOT care about you or your situation. You are $$$ to these guys, that's it, they don't care about getting you into shape, your health, or anything about your life; getting you to sign a contract and collecting their monthly fee is their MO. I don't care if you lose an arm, break your back, or are forced to move to Alaska, they will continue to charge you the monthly fee or will turn you over to collections to ruin your credit with no remorse. There are plenty of other gyms in the Houston area that are run by reputable coaches that actually care about their students. Which is likely why they don't have to resort to high-pressure sales tactics and hire ex-time share/used car sales reps... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

But I don't really mind being on the receiving end of some punches. Group was friendly and welcoming. Coach though was behaving strange and impatient to say the least. He got upset when I continued a fight on the ground instead of trying to stand up. Like people can read his mind. Very unreasonable and kept on repeating how he trained so many champions (check their website too for more big stories). He reminded me of people I met in office that were about the have a burn-out. Really disliked his attitude. I must have pressed his ego-button or something, pretty sure he did not like me either. Never had issues at 3 previous gyms, where I have trained for 28 years in total. Will look for another gym.

The gym has a terrible class schedule it needs serious improvement, the main coach has no people skills he forces the membership on to people then if you don't sign up he tells you to go fuck yourself , the guy is a complete asshole .

Then I discovered The Edge here on Yelp and I love it! The classes are small and focused. Some days are cardio based, other days are weight based, so you're always getting a balanced workout. Tim is a fantastic instructor. He gives due attention. Teaches proper form. He's also methodical about which stretching we do, knowing most people have jobs sitting most of the day. The workouts never get boring! Tim also teaches different Martial Arts classes (Mousel's), as well as Women's Self Defense. Whether you want to lose weight or have more strength or just be fit, there is so much variety offered here to help achieve your personal goals!

The best thing about Tim's classes is that he pushes you to do your best, but never so hard that you'll never want to go back. I really look forward to attending every time. Participants in the classes range from people just starting their fitness journey to those that attend 6 days a week. It doesn't matter what level you're at, it's never intimidating. Everyone there is very encouraging, which makes for a very fun experience. A typical day in the class is running the stairs outside for about 10-15 minutes, then strength training exercises for 20 minutes, then abs and stretching for the last 10-15 minutes. One of the things that Tim does well is mixing up the exercises so that we're not doing the same things over and over again. Also, he incorporates some martial arts and crossfit type exercises which adds some fun to it. I can't say enough good things about Tim's classes. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. You won't regret it. Edit: Don't be intimidated by all the pictures of the girls in the classes. There's a good amount of guys that attend the classes as well!
