The best gym and instructors ever!!!!! If you want a great workout and learn the correct way of doing anything. I love them!!

Great stress relief. Staff is super friendly & helpful. Gym is clean & well managed!

I'm so glad to have found Team Octopus! The people there are nice and willing to help you at anytime. The staff is nothing but kind and helpful. They are very family orientated, so they are welcoming to anybody! No matter what class you take, all the instructors take the time to help you on what you're struggling with. Whether you want to get fit or try something new, I suggest Team Octopus for all your fitness/martial arts goals! read more

Beginner to veteran, this place has them all and welcomes them all. I just started BJJ here, pretty new to it. Great place to learn and advance. You get time to learn and drill different moves/techniques. I would recommend this place to anyone, if you are just starting to learn or you are already in the game. The environment has such a good vibe and a welcoming sense. They also offer other varieties of classes that looks like great fun and offer a great work out. read more

I started out with the groupon but ended up joining because Team Octopus is awesome! I've been coming for over 4 months and I have seen a huge improvement in my strength and stamina. They have also started switching up the coaches for the kickboxing classes which adds an extra level of intensity because each coach has a different style. I am so happy I found this place! read more

My body hurts, thanks to David's Crossfit class! Haha! I just joined about a week ago and I am so happy I did. This team here displays professionalism and courtesy each day I walk into the gym. That is one of the top characteristics I look for in any business I enter. All the classes gave me a hard workout, which I needed. The instructors were very helpful and did not act all stuck up or snobby to me as I tried out their classes for the first time. They were respectful and showed me the proper way to perform the moves. I appreciated that. The classes I tried were Crossfit, the Speed & Agility, and the Kickboxing classes during my free trial week. The Kickboxing instructor seemed to enjoy the pain my friend and I were in as we huffed trying to hit and kick bags. That was funny and I'm glad he had a sense of humor instead of making the class atmosphere terrible. The Speed & Agility class hurt, too, but I felt a sense of accomplishment completing it. That is something I'll definitely do in addition to the Crossfit class I signed up for. The Crossfit instructor was very courteous and helpful during the session. He's passionate about what he's doing compared to other people I've worked out with, and that's a good thing. Yeah, that's another thing that made me go with them. All the other gyms I looked into only offered a free day while Team Octopus offered a full week's worth. The gym is less expensive than other gyms I looked into but the classes are not for the quitter. I leave there dripping sweat each workout, and I've only done less than ten. The gym is clean, including the rest room. You don't find that too often in public or private businesses. I'm glad I joined because I know my fitness will be taken to another level working out here!

Best gym I have been to in a very long time. Awesome trainers and awesome staff. They cater to all your workout needs. Trainers take time to teach you and you can go at your own pace. Very friendly environment too. read more

I've been a member since August 2015 and I love it! I joined after trying the kickboxing classes for 1 month with a groupon i had purchased. My boyfriend actually joined, too. He goes to the morning kickboxing classes and I got to the 5pm kickboxing classes. They seem to be a bit different from what my boyfriend told me. Mark seems to focus more on technique in the morning while Joe's 5pm class is more of a power-out class (lots of cardio, abs, legs etc). I love Joe's high energy class, it's almost like having a personal trainer in a group setting. I agree with a previous reviewer that the class never gets boring, as they switch it up every day! read more

I've been coming to Mark's kickboxing class for over a year now and have no plans on stopping any time soon. I was new to kickboxing and he made it super easy to transition into the class. I can tell a huge difference in my muscle tone and stamina! Highly recommend! read more

From someone who hates exercising, I was sold on the kickboxing here after one class. Started out with their Groupon and recently joined as a full member. Highly recommended if you're looking for an exciting way to work out. read more

Great gym! The staff are very encouraging. Environment just makes you want to work out. I leave that place with a wet shirt all the time and it feels great! read more

i have taken Kung Fu & Tai Chi in the past with Master Gary Grooms many years ago and it was very challenging yet rewarding at the same time! i loved it...except that one day i got smacked in the nose with the bird crane from a black belt! oops! lol but i kept going! #dontgiveup when i noticed #teamoctopus moved nearby i knew we had to check it out! mixed martial arts (mma) is one of the best ways to build confidence, leadership and team building skills and just all around character (while learning to protect yourself at the same time) :) these are skills that will last children just as well, if not more than the adults! very friendly atmosphere and the best coaches! we love every coach and the #octofam for all they do to dedicate their lives, knowledge, skills with such dedication and heart!!! ***reasonable rates and specials all the time**** #wortheverypenny :) read more

After getting a month long groupon to the gym I was hooked after two weeks. I generally don't like working out, but this gym offers great instruction and individual attention if you need it, and the coaches employee a variety of different workouts so you don't get bored. Definitely would recommend giving Team Octopus a try. read more

I started going to Team Octopus with a groupon for their kickboxing class. It only took three classes before I signed up for a year membership. It is so much fun! Although, I think the kickboxing classes are slightly more focused on cardio (I haven't taken any of the other classes here), the coaches are all really nice and great at pointing out better technique. And talk about cardio! Every class I have attended has been a great workout. The classes are varied and always keep my attention. I particularly like the morning ones because they are early enough for me to make it to work on time and I feel accomplished for the rest of the day. read more

I first tried the kickboxing class at Team Octopus back in 2013 on a Groupon. For personal reasons, did not continue. But, now living almost 20 miles away, I am back; signed up for membership. I've had Koon and Mark as kickboxing instructors and both are great in their own ways. Koon is more straight-to-the-point. Mark will smile all happily as you and your peers die on the mats from his HIIT-style of kickboxing. I've also heard that Joseph is really tough but haven't had the chance to attend his class with my work schedule (thank god!). And if you come on Saturdays with Mark-- get ready for a challenge (punishment). I have an advice for the kickboxing area. If you come to the class and take it as is, you will get more of a cardio workout. If you come to the instructor and ask for help to refine your technique, you'll get a more wholesome workout, i.e. cardio/strength-training, and a by-product of tone and lean body. On to the Speed & Agility class. I just tried it for the first time this week with Brandon. I really like this class! He pinpoints micro-techniques within the usual routines -- how to maximize the benefits of a plank; how to land when jumping; how to shift your body. I joined this class then moved straight into kickboxing class and noticed an immediate difference in my form. Love how my body feels toned and tightened now, and I've only been back for just over a month. (*Disclaimer: also have altered my food intake using the Fresh n Fit Cuisine so this helps with the overall improvement). Lastly, always enjoy the fresh faces at the front - Hannah and Jet! Come join (die with) me on the mats! *EDIT: In one month, my 5k race time improved by 1 minute. I could definitely feel the difference in my endurance, my stamina. read more

I've been taking kickboxing for about a week and half now and absolutely love it. The coaches are great, the staff is great, and the classes are challenging. It's a really great workout and it's perfect for me to squeeze in on my lunch break! High fives all around - definitely check this place out! read more

My 11 year old son attends Team Octopus for MMA and he absolutely loves it! I really like how they work with the kids and the instructors' teaching styles appear to really keep them interested. I would recommend this place without a doubt!! I only wish there that the kids MMA was an hour later and a child care was available so that I can participate instead of watching all of the fun on the sidelines with my other small child. read more

I was looking for a complete body workout that fits my crazy schedule and I definitely found it. I just drove by after moving the to area and Rudy made me feel comfortable about trying out Team Octopus right away. They have a great facility and very friendly staff. It is by far a much harder kickboxing class than you will ever take at a regular gym. Best part is the instructors encourage you and don't make you feel bad if you cannot do everything right away. Class schedules are flexible too. Excited to keep training and get conditioned! read more

Recently joined and very happy with my decision. The staff and trainers especially seem to care about your progress and results and are there to help and encourage you. The classes I've attended have had people of every fitness level so you can come in no matter your starting point and not feel discouraged or out of place. They want to help you get to your goals and will work with you no matter where you're coming from. The bathrooms could be a little nicer but it's not a make or break deal by any means, it's just the only negative thing I can even think of to mention. Glad to be a part of the team and looking forward to reaching my goals over the next several months and year! read more

This gym is seriously the best! I only joined two weeks about but I fell in love the moment I walked in. I drove by the gym for two years before I finally had the guts to see what it was about. So far I have only partaken in the kickboxing classes, but they whoop my butt every time. All the coaches and staff are super friendly and accommodating, especially to a newcomer like me. I exercised regularly before joining, but every class is definitely a challenge. I think the prices are reasonable. They have a really convenient app where you can sign up for classes, record your workouts, check the class schedule, put in goals, participate in challenges - I really love it. I'm always looking forward to my next class. Honestly I can't say enough about the gym. I've been borderline obsessed but I guess as far as obsessions go, this is the best one! read more

Another day, another butt kicking with Team Octopus! I've been coming here since December of 2014. It took some time for me to get my rhythm going, but it's none stop now. Love the classes, the atmosphere, and the staff is great! read more

Just started last week and so far it's best workout I've had in a long time. Really love the kickboxing class and the instructor Mark is awesome! Usually go to the early morning class-- great way to start the day. read more

My wife and I stumbled upon a groupon for Team Octopus about 2 months ago. We had never tried kickboxing before but we were looking for a new workout so we decided to try it out. I was instantly hooked as was my wife. We love this place! We've been coming here since January and look forward to our workouts every time! Even at 6am! The staff is VERY friendly, knowledgeable and funny. I definitely recommend team octopus to anyone willing to give kickboxing or any other martial arts a try! read more

The environment here is great. The staff is also friendly and knowledgable. I recommend checking out this gym if you are interested in mma. Ask for jet at the front desk read more

Team Octopus is an extraordinary place to get fit. Nice, friendly staff who are personable. True Professionals... Highly recommend them.

I found out about this gym with the monthly Groupon deal to checkout their various classes, and have since signed up for the yearly membership. It is very well organized with a mobile app that lists out all a comprehensive list of classes. I was impressed with the amount of classes they offered for kickboxing alone, but they also have a variety of other classes you can try out. Worth checking out if you want an intense workout with instructors that will push you! read more

Excellent customer service, motivating trainers, and clean! They encourage a positive culture which is also wonderful since a lot of people are trying something brand new. :) read more

The staff and fellow clientele are so welcoming and non judgemental, and the BJJ classes are awesome!!! So addictive!! I highly recommend the fundamentals classes to introduce you to the sport!! read more

I love this place!!! Being an inexperienced woman going to a gym for the first time can be one of the worst experiences EVER!! But the people here are so nice. They have NO TOLERANCE for egos or rudeness. I am on my 3rd week with the kickboxing class and I love it! I take the noon class and because not many people are there at that time, I have my own personal trainer. :) I have never been to a gym where EVERYONE is so nice and caring. They are an extremely tight nit family who make you feel like a member the minute you meet them. This is the first time in my life I have been serious about getting into better shape and these guys are there to help every step of the way. Thank you Team Octopus for giving me the support I need to make these changes in my life and thank you Mark for putting up with my whining while your getting me in to better shape. Be prepared! They work you hard! PS. GODFATHER I'M COMING AFTER YOU! :) read more

I don't typically like to leave bad reviews, but i thought it was time that someone be honest on here. They give you a free shirt to write a good review on yelp, Facebook and Google +. The kickboxing instructor told me that he had been going there for a few months when the coach they had quit and he was asked to take over in a hurry. Poor technique and no attention to detail. The owner never even speaks to you when you say hello. I got a fungal infection in my feet twice while going there, and I wore socks most of the time. They don't mop between classes. Gross. The girl behind the desk that greets you looks very unhealthy to be the face you first see walking in, and could answer zero technical and even simple questions about the classes.. The instructors are not professionals or even professionally trained. Now they are jumping on the crossfit bandwagon. Go research the owner of crossfit. The place is unfortunately the only choice for the area, and the reviews are misleading as it is a reward system for a fake review. I started in boxing there and the coach was habitually late. They have since added a second boxing coach. The only friendly knowledgeable guy there was the original Salesman, and he quit shortly after I started going and made sure to tell everyone why he quit. Bad management. Good luck and hope you have a different experience than myself. read more

Great gym! I have been training bjj here for the better part of this year. All the coaches are highly knowlegdable and very welcoming to new and regular students alike. While at this gym I feel a strong sense community amongst the other students who know how to balance hard work and a sense of humor while training. The coaches at octopus have done a good job instilling these values. On top of this The facility is consistently kept in great shape. read more

Team octopus is a great great gym to train at. I stopped by for a few classes and have met nothing but great people. The staff are extremely friendly and everyone there only wants you to improve on your goal. No ego or attitude. Definitely check them out if you're in the area. A great workout and an even better environment! read more

Super friendly and clean gym. Ive been working out for about 2 weeks now and the staff, trainers and people there are very nice and supportive. Great place for starters read more

Love, love, love Team Octopus! I was looking for something to replace running because I'm on hiatus due to an injury. After trying barre classes and a couple of other things, I decided to try Team Octopus. I love kickboxing but had never taken a class at a "real" gym. I LOVED the class! The instructors are great, very knowledgeable and helpful, and the class itself is a blast! The kickboxing classes are challenging but are so fun that you want to keep coming back. This is my favorite workout hands-down! read more

I've been studying martial arts since I was a young Marine I've 30 years ago. This is a great place to train - if just to loose weight and get into shape or learn/improve your martial skills. read more

This is by far one of the best martial arts gym in Atlanta, if not the best gym in the metro area. I was very impressed with the versatility that the gym offers catering to the needs and interest of the consumer - they offer kickboxing, muay thai, boxing, crossfit and many more. Their lucrative programs are offered in packages, all of which are incorporated in different price points, creating $ options for various consumption levels. Their programs are solid which are commenced under the direction of experienced cerebral practitioners that have an extensive background in the specified sport that they specialize in. I also like the fact that gym is both organized and clean. the staff members are courteous, friendly and cultivate a welcoming atmosphere. I belive I found my second home... even my girlfriend loves this place. I give Team Octopus an A++ based on their consumer-centric focus. read more

Never experienced a cardio workout until I tried kickboxing. My first class left me sore for days but had me wanting to go come back immediately. After 3 weeks I decided to join and glad I did. Be prepared to sweat! I can tell after each class on the improvements of my workout and core. The coaches really focus on your technique and I love how they push you to your full potential. Definitely recommend kickboxing here! read more

I just started this month and am addicted! I look forward to the classes. I needed a new fitness routine s to jump start my goals for the summer again, as I usually only run and do yoga and I was getting so bored. Cardio kickboxing is an amazing sweat. I was super intimidated the first time, but everyone is very friendly and welcoming. I've had people in the bags next to me show me how to get the moves and encourage me. Mark will stand around you if you are new just to make sure you get the techniques down. Go on a Saturday if it is your first class- there's usually a few new people those classes so I think he tailors the routines to that a bit (still challenging though!) I highly suggest at least trying this place out for a month on Groupon or their free week trial. I don't think you will want to stop! The only reason I've held off signing a year long contract is I might be relocating this summer, but I am definitely going to look into their short term options and keep at it as long as I can! read more

I love this place. I've participated in the BJJ, strength & conditioning class, and kickboxing over the last 6 years. It may have grew but still feel like home! The best MMA gym in Atlanta! read more

I signed up for a week free trial, mainly to try the kickboxing class, and then signed up for a year membership the next time I went in! It's truly a great deal for an awesome workout. You can tell the instructors know what they are doing. I am trying to get used to lighter instruction... I'm used to classes where the instructors are very vocal, walking through instructions and providing guidance to the whole class along the way. At Team Octopus, the instructors take a more hands off approach, though they do ensure to come by to make sure you've got the combinations correct. I'm excited to start my regular workouts here! read more
