This is a training facility that I have toured and actually loved for its atmosphere and the faculty was extremely persuasive and motivating in all factors during the training. Examples were shown and during the training you as an individual were able to try some of them examples with other individuals in the group. After a primary training session we were able to do sparring to train on what was learned and apply it to skill. I definitely give this five stars nothing less and if I could give it six I will give it six. If you are interested in learning any type of boxing techniques and fighting techniques this is a place for you.

Its100% assurance!!!! Coaches are professional & excellent service~my son joined at the Westheimer EliteMMA last year in Feb 2020 before the outbreak of Covid-19. The staff are so understandable to accrual the months for me since March 2020 without any pushing me back to resume class.When the time I feel safe to let my son resume the class, the staff is so nice & initiative to stop billing on our account (without even my need to write a so-called written notice to stop the billing), and let me use back all the accrued months before continue payment again.i shall say, other than the Coaches there are professional; their excellent service is an important reason for me to continue learning at there!!! Highly recommended!!!!Vivian

The best of Houston. Very nice people and the professors are great. Everybody is open to share with you their knowledge. The place is super clean. They are the best. Prices are around $200 and that Includes Brazilian Jujitsu, kickboxing etc. They also have a class for kids. They do test every ~6 months and they charge extra 45 dollars (for the case of adults).

Elite MMA has an amazing coaching staff. They are detail orientated professionals who truly care for their students and community. If anyone is interested in learning a martial art I couldnt recommend Elite MMA anymore.

My 6 yr old son has been doing jiu jitsu with Elite MMA for over half of his life. He loves the coaches and loves going to train.For me and my husband, the most important things are what he learns beyond the physical. The discipline, respect, maturity, confidence, self-control, and perseverance are what matters to us. He has carried all the things he has learned over to what he does outside of BJJ: school, sports, and friendship.Having BJJ before he started organized sports was the best thing we could have done. When he started with swimming, basketball, baseball, and his favorite soccer, he knew exactly how to take direction, hustle, listen, focus, and learn. We are constantly getting compliments from his coaches that he is very respectful and coachable. He also helps his teammates when they dont understand. He learned that at Elite MMA.Anytime someone asks for a recommendation for an after-school activity, 100% of the time I recommend Elite MMA. They have more than this location, and we go to both (depending on our schedules).

I stopped by just to check inside for the first time here with no plans this morning. Dawe welcomed me spent time, had me commit for 12 months and gave me full bag of equipment. Apparently, I am coming back again for the training this evening. Who knows I might be in the rings in the future right? Lol

I would like to thank the coaches for everything that they do. I decided to bring my grandson because this summer both of his parents were deployed to secure the border within a month apart.When school started I noticed a change in his behavior. Since being here for a month I have noticed a great change for example....ConfidenceRespectWanting to do homework was a big problem. This week he was voted homework KING.Thanks again for everything

I’ve been training here a few months now to learn bjj as well as mma, it’s a great and welcoming environment that the coaches create. I was nervous to start training but with help from everyone there I never felt out of place. It’s changed my life completely, I’ve grown confidence and lost over 30 pounds in weight while training here already!

Elite mixed martial arts is a fantastic place to learn discipline, patients and and how to defend yourself. All the coaching staff’s and trainers will never leave an unanswered question. Really love this place guaranteed and recommend it to the world. From experience training there. The options are unlimited to world class MMA.

5 stars all the way. I travel to Houston frequently, have visited many MMA gyms. This one is the perfect fit for me...great coaching, atmosphere, friendly environment, and training tailored to your skill level. And if you are looking for tough, tough training like I get in Ohio, Elite is the place!

Been with the school for two years, went from having poor posture and dragging my feet to actually getting fit. The coaches here have a way of drawing out your untapped potential and the rewards are not just physical, your confidence & moral gets a boost as well. Family friendly environment, highly recommend.

BEWARE parents, you will be forced to sign a FULL 12 month contract and there is a ZERO tolerance for summer months. There is NOT a freeze option for even a week. They will force you to pay the same whether your child can attend one day per week or all days of the week. They will NOT provide you with anything other than a one page to your contract without being upfront about obligations to belt tests every 60 days at an additional charge and good luck getting a break for summer. Their best option is you continuing to pay and making your child attend more and more. They do not care about the children they solely care about their pockets!

Initially I enrolled for their kick boxing classes, definitely a great work out, motivated you to come back for more, I’m really glad I joined Elite MMA. I’ve lost some weight and I feel I have gain more muscle as well. Cardio kick boxing is a great class that helped me get into better condition, good stamina, and I love it. After I started taking the BJJ classes and at the beginning it was difficult but now I feel more confident, plus they have great coaches that are always there to help you you. Everybody it’s friendly, every time I go there I always feel welcome and glad to be there. Highly recommend!

Joining Elite MMA has been an amazing experience for me. I recently moved to Houston and was looking for a way to get fit and immerse myself in a new community. I have only been with them for three months and already feel stronger, happier and so welcomed. The instructors go out of their way to tend to all of your needs, and the classes leave you sweating and aching every time. Would definitely recommend!

Best gym we found! We looked around the city for a while before settling on Elite. My son and I have been training here for about 3 years now and we LOVE it. Wouldnt want to train anywhere else. The instructors are top notch and the entire staff is fantastic. No egos here, just great people wanting to help each other reach the next level of their fitness goals. There are classes for everyone and the schedule and amount of classes is the best in the city! They can fit any schedule. Instructors are fantastic with the kids! Great for staying in shape and improving your health all while having a great time doing it. I honestly can say that joining Elite has changed our lives for the better. Come in and try it out....you will be hooked!

My daughter (15) has been training with Elite MME since a year now. I can highly recommend Elite-MMA to anyone. When the Covid-19 situation came up, the Elite coaches switched to online classes within a week. First I had my doubts what to expect but as of the first online training session I was surprised how it was organized and very happy to see my daughter joining the online sessions with great enthusiasm. Since a week my daughter is back at the location of Elite MMA where they took all possible precautions. This is the best Martial Arts school in Houston, no doubt about that. High dedicated and very professional coaches that contribute to developing norms and values for all students.

This place is a home away from home. It is its own little community where everybody helps everybody and knows everybody. Personally, i have built long friendships with the people here and I couldn’t ask for anything better in a gym. Its also very goal oriented. Coaches here will push you to achieve your goal and definitely will help you achieve them. Its the perfect gym and my life resides here❤️

EliteMMA has been my home for many years. When I joined Elite back in 2013 I had no idea the amount of personal commitment I would be getting from the coaches here. They really work to help you achieve your personal goals and create a balanced life both mentally and physically. I have been to gyms all over the world and Elite is determined to go beyond just coaching. When COVID hit Elite kept us informed through newsletters, personal texts, and online updates. Before reopening Elite put an entire COVID prevention system in place, including offering free online classes, decontamination protocols, and buddy systems. They have even offered and arranged for COVID testing of students. I don’t know of any MMA school that has done more for their students doing these epic times. I am thankful to have the ability to call Elite my home.

I’ve been training at Elite MMA for almost two years and I can state without reservation the impact, both physically and mentally has reinvigorated my love and passion for both training and teaching. As a life-long martial artist with over 40 years’ experience, I knew I was receiving five-star instruction from a knowledge perspective as well as passion for what they do.Coaches Eric, Josh, Mitch and Dave are deeply invested in the success of their students and offer a curriculum with a wide range of appeal. Whether your interest lay in Boxing, Kickboxing (both cardio and contact) or Wrestling, they create an environment and value to the training that appeals to top athletes and first-time or family-activity-oriented students alike. You will find an environment that does not crush the ego. It is a true family atmosphere where my classmates welcomed, worked with, and encouraged me to succeed. For the life-long martial artist, they bring a complete picture of the martial arts, from striking to the ground.In addition, what stood out to me was how the character they teach was represented in their community presence and care for others through their fundraising support for the Barbara Bush Literacy Foundation, Mission K-9, and working in an advisory capacity with Texas-based martial arts non-profit Kickstart Kids.I feel my health and well-being are above where I was 10 years ago and I encourage anyone to come and experience the benefits of training at Elite MMA.

My 11 year old son has been training at Elite MMA since he was 5 years old and I cannot recommend it highly enough. He has grown so much in his time there. In addition to the physical skills that he has gained, he has also become more confident, disciplined and respectful. He has made lasting friendships and considers his classmates and coaches to be a second family. He takes a lot of pride in his training and looks forward to his twice weekly classes. As a mom of two children, I have invested quite a bit of time and money in extracurricular activities over the years and I would have to say that our time at Elite MMA has been the best time and money spent.

I have been working out here for a few months now and I am absolutely addicted to it! It is an amazing facility with great coaches who are always looking to help you improve no matter what level you are at. I love working out here because of the positive energy I feel as soon as I walk in the door. I would highly recommend working out here if you have the slightest interest in learning martial arts!

We came to Elite MMA because our son was always getting in trouble at school for not listening and been silly. Every day the teacher will complain about something and we knew he needed to have a sport that will help him focus so we thought of Jiujitsu. Our experience with our son at school has been way better ever since he is coming to Elite! He has change his way of behaving in school been more respectful and paying attention.. He loves it here and we are happy we found a place that teaches him to protect himself, teaches him boundaries, how to be respectful, to be helpful, that he feels appreciated.. i love the way he came here and he had to earn his first belt. He is been doing this for 4 months And its been a great Success!Thanks you Coaches and Staff for your great work and dedication!

THANK YOU ELITE MMA WESTHEIMER FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE IN THE REOPENING WITH STAY SAFE!The protocols in place brought me true comfort and confidence in allowing my son to go back and train in person! Everything Elite has done, was above my expectations! From the moment we pulled into the parking lot, and saw the safe distancing marks on the ground, leading up to the door and having temp check before entering the door and then being sprayed on hands, shoes and feet with a safe solution to kill germs and bacteria just as you enter, is totally spot on! Then to be led by a staff member to safe distancing floor markings that are 10 feet apart up to the mat, and again, being led to the designated mat space to train by another staff member was extremely going above and beyond! Oh and after my son trained, to be sprayed down from head to toes with the the anti-bacteria solution again... WOW!Elite MMA has put together top notch protocols for training and I confidently recommend this facility to anyone who wants to get in person total conditioning and training in an extremely safe environment!BRAVO to ELITE MMA!!!

I truly appreciate the array of classes Elite offers, and their scheduled times. At this location, Ive taken the self defense class, fight fit, Kardio Kickboxing and most recently adult boxing. Elites teaching objectives are well planned, and one thing that I will always rant about is the sense of belonging and family that is fostered there. Everybody helps each other grow, from the coaches, to your own classmates; inspiring me to encourage and help others. Were all in the same boat together, regardless of ones finals destination be weight loss, gaining strength, agility, skills, or fighting in the cage; we know itll be challenging, but were there to face it together.

I was in town looking for a place to train. Man were they welcoming here. I have a kickboxing and MMA background so I was looking for somewhere I could get efficient training. The structure of the class was great, it was high intensity drilling combined with full body conditioning. Just what I needed for an hour of training. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area. Really looking forward to coming back. The staff were all great and helpful. Thank you Elite for a great experience.

Ive been at elite for about 3 or so years now and have not regretted it. Its a very supportive community, with a diverse range of walks of life. It really is more than just a place to work out. After Hurricane Harvey, the instructors and students coordinated volunteers to help others affected by the storm. Theres a variety of classes for different levels of experience, everyday of week.

I have been with Elite for several months now and I cannot say enough good things about this facility, their program and the crew that runs it. Elite is more than just a mixed martial arts or self-defense school, it is a community that focuses on camaraderie, growth and support of attaining personal goals. All of their staff is top notch as both instructors and individuals. The other members of Elite are great folks too who push and support each other in training.In terms of results, you will find it here. I have limited time these days outside work and family. My time training at Elite is optimized – quick, flexible and intense. I have seen big results in a short period of time, both physically and my technique. I am in the best all-around condition (mind and body) than I have been in a very long time. It’s simply fun and rewarding to be a part of this group.

I come from a martial arts background which is be tough or leave, having a bit of military history went to enforce the train until you get hurt, then train some more mentality.... well, Im happy to say you will not find that here. They push you but not to the point of breaking you, they take your personal history into account for your training and in my case thats a very good thing.Elite is a good place to train whether youre starting up or are experienced.Give it a go you might like it, i know i do.

Dave and the guys over at Elite MMA are top notch. The place brings a feeling of respect to the whole block. They cater to your level and push you to be your best. I suggest taking private lessons and following up in a weekly group class a couple of times a week. If this is your hobby, be good at it.Their clientele is a great mix of professional people, students and entrepreneurs that are all working and encouraging you to be your best.

Started training in March. In just 3 months, I am now more fit than I have ever been in my entire life. Both staff and members are very courteous and helpful. Technical knowledge is of the highest order. The environment is very team and family oriented. I would recommend the training for any age, gender or fitness level. They will help you focus on immediate goals but also emphasize fitness and self defense for the long run. If your goals include improvements in fitness, practical self defense, self-confidence, self-discipline, stress relief, team/family comradery, tournament or match competitiveness/success, come visit. I have trained with teammates from every location and their technical abilities are superb. No wonder why so many gold medals line the classrooms. Highly motivated people and a winning spirit in and around this place. See for yourself.

I am eternally thankful to those at Elite MMA for accepting me into their family and pushing me to grow in every aspect of my life.Success is derived from our ability to approach life with the proper mental, physical, and spiritual strength. To know this is easy. To achieve such a balance in your own life is a challenge. The ability to help others achieve it is exceedingly rare and valuable.The family at Elite is one of those rare groups that understands how to drive you to succeed. I am proud to have studied, trained, and prayed (in a sense) at the House of Elite.

Ive been in Elite for about 5 months now. Has been a great place to learn mixed martial arts. The first thing the coaches tell the new comers is about respect and discipline inside of Elite gym. The coaches actually take the time to teach the technique correctly and to also practice it with your fellow teammates. If you are trying to learn a new hobby or exercise to get into shape or even to actually compete in MMA I recommend to join Elite MMA.

I had a great time training at Elite Mixed Martial Arts. I believe this is the best school in the Houston area. The instructors are great, and have a ton of knowledge and experience. They not only care about you as a member of their school, but also as a person. They are very organized and professional. Regardless of class size, all instructors treat every class the same.

Elite MMA is great place to train for martial arts. It’s going on fours that I have been training at Elite. The facilities and instructors are fantastic. They have everything you can offer in a gym: family atmosphere especially for kids and teens, excellent training for the novice to professional fighter. Even if you just want to get into shape Elite has the training and expertise for that as well. One thing that you will notice right away at Elite is the camaraderie and family atmosphere.

To join you must sign a 12 month contract. Even when I sustained a shoulder injury WHILE training at the gym, they would not let me out of the contract. So I was forced to pay out the remainder of my membership out of pocket even though I couldnt train. Could I receive a refund ? No. Could I take a leave of absence? No. Could I place the membership on hold ? No. The contract and policies of this gym are extremely restrictive. Most gyms are going month to month now. See what your other options are before joining.

I have been training with John at Elite MMA for a few months now. I feel stronger and have a lot more energy! John is knowledgeable, encouraging, outgoing, accessible and patient (I require a lot of patience!). He keeps it fun by mixing up our sessions with challenging yet achievable exercise programs. Working out in a comfortable atmosphere is very important to me, and this gym provides that and so much more. If you are ready to change your life for the better, I strongly recommend John as a trainer. He will drive you to try harder and reach goals you didn’t think were possible!

As a practitioner of the martial arts for almost thirty-five years, I find that Elite MMA is a top notch school that puts the interest of the students above any monetary reward given to the instructors. Both instructors are knowledgeable of the style of martial arts they are teaching and have many good training tips. They have helped my son gain confidence and have pushed him academically to get better in school. I appreciate all they have done for my son. I highly recommend this school for both physical and mental discipline for any person young or old.Jeff

From the first moment I set foot at this gym I felt at home. The staff is very warm and welcoming to beginners and professional athletes alike. I spent years in regular gyms pumping iron and not making any progress. Within the first month, I made more progress Elite than I did in 6-8 months at a regular gym. The instructors are excellent and very knowledgeable. The facility is always clean. Even though I dont live in Houston any more, I drive nearly 3 hours to and from to train there because theres no place that compares.

For the longest time, I had been wanting to find a place to start being more active and get back into shape. I had looked at a few different places, but as soon as I went into Elite, I knew I had found the right place. Staff and coaches are excellent and was able to get back on the right path to a healthy lifestyle. This past weekend, I won my first gold medal in a grappling tournament and I am looking forward to entering more and advancing up the ranks. I would highly recommend anyone to come by and check it out for the free sessions and youll be hooked and happily join like I did.

I started at Elite in June. I wasnt much into working out or much physical activity other than hiking on the weekends. If someone had told me Id be working out 4 times a week I would have told them they were crazy. I would probably be there more but my work schedule doesnt allow it.Everyone there is friendly and encouraging. They want to help everyone succeed and meet their workout/fitness goals. They keep the workouts challenging and fun. If you miss classes someone is on the phone to check in on you. The instructors are very helpful and point out ways to improve the techniques youre working on. They always ask for input on what you would like to learn, clarification or general questions.

The only thing I dont like about this place besides that it smells and they dont clean the mats between each class session is that you get stuck in a 1 YEAR CONTRACT THAT YOU CANT GET OUT OF.

I went in for a free class last night and got the best workout Ive had since college rugby. Everyone was extremely welcoming, unfailingly polite, and genuinely interested in helping me learn.

All my rolling partners (they rolled, I wheezed...so out of shape) were friendly and willing to teach me. I really cant say enough good things about my experience. Im fat. Im out of shape.

I train mainly at the Greenway location and occasionally at the Westheimer location and have loved this gym. I joined in September 2013 and have been impressed with the professionalism and dedication the coaches show to their students. I have trained martial arts before at other gyms and was disappointed when good coaches ended up being bad businessmen. I have not had any issues with billing or schedule, as the offer a variety of times. You feel free to ask your coaches about any situation and they are good about not overwhelming you with too much too quickly. I would recommend this gym to martial artists of any level.

The moment I stepped into the gym, I knew this was a perfect place to work out. I was impressed with spacious gym, clean training mats and multiple class schedules, locations I could choose from. They welcomed and introduced me to other staffs, members and from then on, it felt like I’ve known this community before, and even if you go visit other branches, they’ll treat you as a family!I joined Elite MMA for self - defense reasons, but I found myself enjoying Kickboxing as well. It’s a great cardiac work out and surely felt accomplished after the class! I love going to Jujitsu, the foundation offers great self-defense moves and all are professional, cautious and respectful during the drills.If you are looking for a challenge, sports, stress reliever, self – defense, I highly recommend this place. You will always have a “Good Job!” after work out!!

Review №61

I joined elite ~ one month ago - I didnt really understood why, although I had an idea. But the ratings on google did help, and as rare as it is, this time the reviews didnt deceive. Starting from the first contact with Dave Campbell, setting up my first appointment - very attentive and listens to you - to the first contact with the coach - which puts you at ease and you dont feel the pressure of having to look good from the offset...(Josh, Mitch... ) I do KKB (Cardio Kick Boxing) Self defense. KKB is one of the best work outs ever - and likely if you just need to release some energy/stress - then definitely recommended, Self-Defense is fun and informative... personnel, coaches, the matts - family friendly environment... Really good. I recommend....In 2020 pandemic... What these guys do help us by giving us online classes, quick adjustment and effective too... Lots of reinforcements. This team is one of kind.

Best decision I ever made was to join Elite MMA. The instructors are top notch and my team mates were so easy and fun to train with.

All of that includes learning how to be a great fighter, giving you confidence whether youre in the cage or out on the streets. I dont plan on leaving anytime soon. Id recommend Elite over anywhere else.

I have been going to Elite MMA for a couple months and I have to say the staff is amazing. The manager and most of the instructors knew my name with in the first 2 weeks. Every staff member I have interacted with has shown great interest in my progress and know just how to push me just beyond my current limits. I have never felt over pushed but they have constantly giving me enough motivation for a little more than I think I am capable.All the staff is very approachable and very willing to help in anyway they can.

Excellent school. Great instructors. There are a lot of students who attend Elite which gives you a great chance to practice and learn with a large variety of people who bring many different skills to the table. In all of this you do get a lot of personal instruction from the coaches. At elite they will really work with you to develop and tailor your game to what best suits you. You couldnt ask for a better group of individuals!

I have been trying to lose weight and get in better shape for 6 years. Elite MMA is the place that helped me achieve that goal. It is a community that helps and supports each other, and I look forward to going there, getting a great workout and seeing everyone. I am valued as a person, and have built positive relationships with the other students and the instructors. It is a fantastic place to train and workout!

Elite MMA is more than a gym for martial arts. It is a community formed behind guiding principles to help individuals reach goals which are bigger than themselves. Some people come to lose weight, others come looking for a training team, and some are just blown in by the wind. All are warmly welcomed into a family dedicated to pursuing excellence in all areas along the journey of life.

Elite MMA is a great place to workout. The beginning classes will exhaust you, and you can progress to higher levels if you choose. I highly recommend this place. The energy is good and the coaches were very helpful.

I am so grateful I found this place, the atmosphere is awesome! Everyone is so nice and welcoming. All the instructors are fantastic which makes it not only a great work out but a really fun class. Ive been doing cardio kickboxing for the last few months and I always finish tired, drenched in sweat and with a smile on my face. Once youve tried it, youre hooked.

I knew nothing coming in and just wanted to try some new workouts. Now I can’t get enough of this place. Friendly environment. Knowledgeable coaches. Learning fun new skills and getting intense workouts done at the same time. Try a free class and you will be blown away.

Awesome establishment with very knowledgeable instructors. They will help you to reach your goals, if youre a beginner to an experienced individual, these guys have the classes and staff to help you reach your potential. My wife has attended different gyms and always quit after after about a month or so, but shes been attending Elite for the past 2 years now, because of the great atmosphere, staff, and training....

Absolutely love training here! I began with kickboxing and then transitioned into Bjj. It’s helped me in every aspect of my life! The coaches are highly invested in your progress and always more than willing to assist in your growth as a trainee!

Elite MMA is not just a martial art school, its a community that gathers all kinds of people who have the same interest in martial art. And in this community, we help each other push through any obstacles in life physically and mentally. All the coaches are great and very friendly to talk to. They try to keep us positive and to keep the right mindset to better our game and our life. If you are looking for a life changing class, this is the place =)

My family (me, my wife, my two boys 6 and 10) train at Elite MMA. We decided to train first aiming to lose some weight and to learn how to protect ourselves. Mission accomplished!!! As a father of 4 kids I strive to get the best for my kids and preparing them for life is my top priority. Id like to thank Elite MMA instructors and staff for helping me getting my boys more confident, disciplinated and respectful. Everyone at elite is very welcoming and the coaches are the best. Doing kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu made my family stronger to face a very difficult time we had in life. My beautiful wife had cancer since 2016 and going through the treatment process was very hard for us. Thanks God, now shes okay!!! Keep training had helped me keep stronger every time I felt weak. Great atmosphere and community. I highly recommend Elite MMA!!!

Our family have been a member at Elite MMA for over 2 years. We have 4 Kids ages from 5-12. Elite MMA gym is amazing!!!! The coaches care for the kids so much. They not only teach Brazilian jujitsu and kickboxing technique but also impart life lessons on self discipline, resilience, self confidence, and leadership. The gym community is uniquely kind and supportive. The coaches are patient and make learning a fun and incredible experience. My kids have really grown physically, mentally, and emotionally!

Being new to Houston (and the US) and having only recently started training martial arts last year, I was looking for a friendly place where I could continue to learn and develop my skills. Elite MMA ticks all the right boxes. Everyone has been very welcoming and encouraging. Ive had lots of fun in classes (of which there are plenty) and made many new friends.

Elite MMA has awesome instructors, friendly members and great facility. Perfect place to get in shape and learn self defense with many, many class options available. Both the gym and the schedule is family friendly, and filled with professionals who understand that not all of us can go to work with black eyes and bruises. Perfect fit for all experience from pros, to amateurs, to people with no plans to compete. Youll find rooms full of smiles, a close knit group with no zero intimidation factor.

Of all the gyms i have ever joined this is hands down my favorite. Everyone is so supportive and respectful of your goals and your abilities. They provide an excellent workout environment for anyone interested in MMA or just getting in great shape. I would recommend this place to everyone.Easily the best gym in Houston.

I joined Elite about a month ago and love it. The BJJ training is phenomenal and the Kickboxing classes are challenging (to say the least). Its also nice to know that you can get some exercise and be learning something that could come in handy in protecting yourself and your family. If youre interested, you shouldnt hesitate to come in and give it a try. Youll be glad you did. - Update, Ive been at Elite for 2 or 3 years now, who know - who cares, Im going to be here for as long as possible. Its a new kind of family and friends guys. Theyll beat you up, theyll push you to do things you dont think you can do and theyll be there to help you when you feel like you cant wrap your head around it. Its not for everyone, but if youve got a little grit in your belly - and you know who you are - you should stop by and have a chat.

Ive been training at EliteMMA for six months now, and coming from the Caribbean with a martial arts background Elite was right on the money. My game has improved drastically in the time that Ive been there, The knowledge level of the various disciplines was something that Ive never experienced before. My overall technique level has come a long way having the opportunity to train with world class instructors. In this time i was able to compete and do well in local tournaments building my confidence with each class. I could not imagine another Martial art school with the facilities and knowledge that Elite brings to the table.

I joined Elite MMA because I needed to lose weight and was looking for something different then a gym. I called to say that I wanted to get fit and lose weight and they told me to come on in. From the moment I walked in I was so comfortable with all the amazing instructors and loved how clean and nice the facilities are. Kardio Kickboxing is the hardest and most fun workout I have ever done!!!! I love this place so much- probably my favorite thing about Elite is that my coaches keep me accountable and check on me and make sure Im coming into class. The mix of students is fantastic, from beginner students like me to black belt jujitsu, to professional fighters.  All ages, shapes, and sizes are welcome here. I’m obsessed with kickboxing now!!! This is my happy place.

This place is amazing. The facility is well cared for since going barefoot is required. Every time I come in, Im greeted with smiles. I get a fantastic workout, Im motivated to do more, its a great learning environment where I learn something new or want to learn more every time. Im definitely a better person today since going to Elite. Great group of guys and girls. Overall phenomenal experience, life changer. Go Hai!!!

Elite MMA has cultured a strong family atmosphere, allowing clients from all walks of life to be able to come in and feel welcomed. Whether youre looking to get back into shape or to take up a new combat sport, you can appreciate the friendliness and care given by the trainers. Every trainer Ive met and trained with have all been kind--same with the students. Now that its being upgraded/remodeled, theres no better time to go visit and try out a few classes on the fresh, new mats to see for yourself the great experience that keeps me coming back.

Making a commitment to live a healthy and fit lifestyle and having Elite be the structure to support me on the journey is one of the best choices I made this year. I am learning not just the fitness, but all aspects of living a healthy life! The coaches/staff are very friendly and understanding, making the classes fun for me. They continue to challenge me each time, so I see the results I desire. After less than 2 months, I am stronger physically, not only do I lose 6 pounds, but start to build muscles at the right place. I am also more in tune with my body, how I feel and my mental state. I am so excited and look forward to whats next on my curriculum to health and fitness, and Mt. Everest!

I really enjoy the intense kickboxing classes. This is a REAL KICKBOXING CLASS - theres actual bags and sweat is flying from across the room. The experienced instructors (especially Master Hai) motivate your workout plan and everyone knows your name when you walk through the door. Great place for all Houstonians to become more fit while having fun!

Elite MMA provides superior instruction in many martial arts. It is able to accomplish this by retaining great instructors, providing outstanding facilities, and creating an environment in which competition and camaraderie can coexist. The huge student body has an incredibly diverse demographic and many friendships are established that extend beyond the training hours. If you are looking to try something new, improve your game, or just want a great workout, come talk to the folks at Elite. You won’t be disappointed.

The instructors are great however, be extremely aware of the contract that you are signing for one year that they will let not let you out of for any reason. Even if you become unemployed and can no longer pay or if you move the contract specifically stipulates that this does not release you from paying the contract in full. You are literally signing a contract for one year with no way out after 30 days for any reason.
