It was an excellent experience with very cordial and helpful students and staff. Not training much in Jui-Jitsu, I found the class to be a great workout and an experience that increased my knowledge of martial arts. It was quite a rewarding experience. I was invited to participate again while on vacation or next time I a vacationing in the area. Thank you all at Grounds Martial Arts Academy. John D.

The coaches are friendly and incredibly knowledgeable and come from all walks of life and help break down the techniques so you can understand them as well as how and when you may need to use those skills. Other gym members are incredibly friendly and are great to learn from as well. I've made some great friends through this gym! The environment is very clean, the mats and pads are wiped down after every class, which isn't true in all fight gyms. I very much appreciate the dedication to cleanliness. If you're shopping around for gyms, I highly recommend stopping in for a class and see why this is the best gym in Fort Myers!

We didn't have luck at other gyms, but this gym not only let us workout, but didn't charge for the weekend! The staff was incredibly friendly too! Most of the people there cane over to say hello and introduce themselves. Even though they were running a strongman class, we could still access other equipment and do our own thing. WE DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS BOX!

Amazing coaches, members, and programming!Every gym I drop into in other states rarely compare to…read morethe community that the coaches and members have created here at Crossfit Estero. Definitely recommend this place if you are deciding to try out crossfit for the first time. I came from a conventional gym program, got pregnant, and then tried crossfit and have been hooked since day 1. I will never go back to strictly isolation-only lifting. I find that my crossfit training has made everyday activities that require any sort of lifting, strength, or endurance - seamless. The coaches are super helpful/patient and KNOWLEDGABLE.. They make everyday different, challenging, and fun. Highly recommend for ALL levels of fitness.. Not sure what the negative reviews are about.. I have never experienced any separation between "elite" and beginners at this gym. When I came into the box for the first time, I was 70lb overweight from my not-so-fit pregnancy and was definitely not my usual "fit-self". Despite my situation, the coaches and members that I had classes with everyday were always friendly, engaging, and encouraging... I am stronger everyday and am so thankful for those who have pushed me to be better everyday at this gym.

The sessions and classes are tailored to your physical capabilities, but you will be pushed beyond what you think are your boundaries.

They just tell you to hit the bags.They don't even have a structured boxing program. Larry Willis lost his building after the hurricane and started bringing his guys to sjc to just use their gym as free space. Larry Willis is the only certified boxing trainer in that building. Only downside Larry doesn't like to train everyone they have their seeds and it's funny watching Larry defensive when his guys get out worked by somebody he claims can't box at all. So sjc is a building full of rejects who are never going to make it, and it's all thanks to Steve not having real trainers in the gym and having Larry steal all Steve's students because Steve just provides the gym because he's lonely. And drives a grey sedan and parks it front of sjc.Bobby drives a black jeep looking car too he parks it by the building.

I would recommend this gym for kids as well. They also have a outstanding boxing, kickboxing and MMA program.

Being a drop in student, he made me very comfortable and welcome to the group. Talking about the workout, It's wonderful, it will really get you in- in a good way. Not to mention, the owners are great too, great communication. My credit card was charged over accidentally, and it took only one voicemail for the owner to get back to me and refunded it. Five star gym, five star service. If you're in Naples area looking for a wonderful CrossFit gym, This is the place to go.
