The women’s only boot camp class is unlike any workout I’ve ever done before. The equipment is clean and new, the people are sweet and supportive, and the instructors are smart, funny and very inspirational. I am lucky to be apart of such a wonderful gym community.

I have been training here since November 2021 and have had nothing but positive experiences. The coaches (specifically Coach Che) have helped me grow and progress physically and mentally. The camaraderie you build in these classes as you all push each other to achieve your goals is one of a kind!!

Good people but if you want to cancel before 6 months you are going to be paying $268 as a cancelation fee. Absolute robbery.

Horrible service I’ve been trying to join for a month and every time on the day of my appt they call me saying the instructor can’t be there all of a sudden. Ridiculous that you can’t even go in to try out the place.

Wicked class, Richard at the front desk and everyone else was super friendly. Did the mma 6pm class and had some nice grappling and gnp. Was only visiting Miami and would definitely drop by again when I come back!

Really great training overall. Coach Erik really helped to expose me to real kickboxing training for the first time. Also, Erik got me into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. My only warning would have to be with regards to the contract that you sign when you join the gym. Make sure that you understand that if you stop going and change billing info that they are still going to expect full payment from you. I trained for about a month, then changed debit cards and switched gyms. Then in April of this year I received a bill for 1,000$ and a threat of legal action. In part I guess it is my fault for not actively

It's been over decade since I trained with the amazing coaching staff of FFA, if I was financially stable, I would go back. The staff is amazing and encouraging. I try to avoid fights when I can, but thanks to FFA, I'm better equipped to protect myself.

The staff here are really cool and friendly. I enjoyed the training. I liked their training curriculum and their style of teaching... but let me tell you something. They don't disclose all the money involved in moving forward or being promoted to advanced classes. I was so happy to be promoted and finally get some real training (considering I had come from another gym where I was already taking advanced classes) but unfortunately I was gently slapped with a total of $300 to move forward --with!...with!-- an increase in my monthly payment from $160/month to $200/month! --with!...with!-- a mandatory

I started here about 6 months ago and it is amazing! the classes pull you in everytime you go, you just want to go more and more until you find yourself going everyday whether your going for a workout or a class. I've honestly never been somewhere that makes you feel so welcome You real get a family fibe here, your trainers are real mma fighters that show you everything at the perfect pace because they want you to be the best of the best. My endurance, strength and confidence have been raised every week since day one. If your looking to shred weight, build confidence and have a blast at every

The Free Style Fighting Academy has been a true blessing to my child and our family. We have seen a huge transformation on my 6 year old boy in the short amount of time he has been part of this amazing academy. From all the instructors including coach Chelsey and coach Che, who teach life learning lessons, to the friendly front desk staff who are so helpful and professional. We are in love with this Academy and recommend it to everyone. We are raving fans and plan to be a part of this incredible Academy for years to come!

I'm normally not a morning person, but I have no problem waking up to train at FFA. I've been coming here for 7 months now to a 6:00am class and I see my progress both in skill and physical fitness. The instructors are very knowledgeable and have extensive experience teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Kick Boxing, and Traditional Boxing. The fitness classes are also great, where they show proper body mechanics in challenging circuit routines.

But the best part is the staff and students that create an excellent training environment. Everyone here is very friendly and helpful towards

FFA is the place to go if your looking to get into MMA, they treat you like family here. The Instructors are awesome and super humble. I train with Coach Che at 6am and it's an excellent way to start your day. They have a ton of classes, which helps if you have a tight schedule. Honestly, best decision ever! Love the classes and look forward coming to them.

I loved training here. This is one of the best martial arts gyms I've trained in and certainly one of the best in Miami. The instructors are very personable and are top-notch in their knowledge and instruction. The learning environment was very professional and had a family feel to it. The owners of the gym are always trying to improve the company and are willing to work with you personally as a student. Also, it's open 24 hours!

I read about this gym online and before walking in read that their "advanced/Cap" class had a 2 year contract.I was not interested in anything with that long of a contract and i specifically asked them about it before signing up.The employee looked at me like i was talking Chinese and told me they didn't have anything like that.

Well 2 months in, i wanted to move into the "advanced/cap etc class" and the first thing they tell me is there's a 2 year contract, and that everyone in that class has that contract.


Their beginner mma class were pretty underwhelming with

To start off, I'm from out of town and looked for an academy to train. Now, I was looking for a fun and welcoming environment and found one here at FFA. This is coming from an outsider and some one using Yelp and it really helped.

The staff was more than welcoming and let me know what I qualified for and which classes I could take that would compliment my regular training in Cali. First and foremost this is an MMA oriented school, which doesn't mean it's bad it means be prepared to do wrestling, judo, Jiu Jitsu, boxing, Muay Thai, if it's a martial art they teach it here. In

I've been at FFA for many years now. I absolutely love this gym and the people in it. I started with kickboxing classes just for fun and fitness. I discovered that I was pretty good at it, and decided to really focus on improving my technique. The instructors taught me so much, and my training partners have always been great. Thanks to the awesome training that I received, I went on to win the Women's National Golden Glove Championship in 2009. I had some additional fights, and then started to add grappling and wrestling to my training regimen. The coaches are skilled and experienced

DO NOT JOIN!!!! I'm giving one star because I have to put something. Worst customer service I have ever experienced. I paid for 5 months as a deal to later found no out I was sick. I don't need the membership or wanted because I'm also moving to another state. They won't issue me a refund even though I'm providing proof of what I'm saying. Please think before joining this place. Once you sign that contract you are stuck. No wait getting out of that. Another gym that promise and then is not more than a kind of nice place with awful costumer service. I'll make sure

Beware of these thieves' shady business practices. They are real slick with their contract wording and sales pitch. I was made believe I was signing a one year contract to the gym, but then a month later they said the contract was only for the beginners classes and I would have to sign a new THREE year contract if I wanted to take the "advanced" classes.

When I called them out on their BS, they had the balls to get defensive and said I should be more careful about what I sign. My options were to either sign a new three year contract or stay in the beginners classes. The term "

Might be a great gym - but lousy customer service. Pretty slick operators. If you are in fact looking for Miami Shooters Club - its located within. They do not disclose their rebooking fees and do not disclose that they are a business located within another business. Adrian was less than helpful and unfortunately is quite ignorant about good customer service. Again, the gym may be great. But this was my honest experience and I hope never to make the drive all the way down there for all the grief I suffered.

Best gym in Florida, by far, I've been training at FFA since I was a teenager and never once thought about switching gyms. The instructors are always professional, have a great understanding of the martial arts they teach and they always help the students out with any questions they have on techniques or anything else. The customer service is great too, they always make sure every one that comes in is taken care of and has someone to help them with whatever they need. All around this gym is great and I always have and will recommend it to anyone that wants to learn martial arts for any reason or

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

I attend the Women's Only BootCamp and love every single sweat drenched moment!

I have been going attending the bootcamp for 2 months now and what a difference. I have lost 10lbs but so many inches. They are so nice and the workouts are always different and fun. Time flies.

Let me get to the details:

Classes: The bootcamp is only for women which was a major selling point for me. Each class is 1 hour long starting at 2 classes per week until they bump you to the third one which is always a kickboxing class. I think they have an unlimited membership but I have not
