Independent MMA & Fitness - McDonough (GA)

5 /5 Brandon Price: I attended independent MMA in McDonough for a little over a year. Since I’ve moved away, I’ve been to other BJJ gyms but still miss training at Independent. Professor Chad is an outstanding instructor and a great guy. I definitely plan on dropping in to Independent whenever I’m back in town and will miss the training I received and friends I made here.

1 /5 Zack Scott: I used to take grappling classes here. A kid ripped my elbow. It still hurts years later. Afterwards, I was unable to work my construction job. I was unable to attend classes. I called the trainer and asked for my membership refunded. The trainer Chris just interupted, overtalked and dismissed my needs. They really just want your dollars.

5 /5 C Miley: Great gym and great classes for beginners! They WILL PUSH YOU BEYOND your comfort zone! Come ready to work with a great attitude! They taught me the basics, fundamentals and beginner techniques of boxing! Coach Baba is a great coach! Coach Nando and Coach Manny helped me as well! I highly recommend! If you don’t have gloves, and other supplies you can rent or purchase it from Independent MMA & Fitness! Glad I joined and obtained a membership!

5 /5 Justin Zanatta: This is an absolutely wonderful MMA / BJJ gym! All the instructors are tip top at their respective arts, both in their personal knowledge base, as well as their ability to transfer that knowledge to their students. Professor Chad (one of the owners) is one the most personable, dedicated, and knowledgeable BJJ instructor’s my son has ever worked with. Manny, Nando, and Coach E are also exemplary in the muay thai and mma disciplines. My son learned many new techniques and improved his already existing martial arts skill set dramatically over just a couple months, due not only to the excellent coaching, but also due to the team environment that they (the coaches, as well the other students) foster and encourage there. The mentality of team above self is what really makes this gym thrive. Every single student is embraced and treated as part of the family, whether they are new to the gym or not. If you live in the McDonough, GA area and truly want to grow to your fullest potential, then you should look no further.I literally couldn’t find a single criticism if I tried. Truly and sincerely, they are the best from the bottom to the top.

5 /5 Valerie Victor: I love coming to this gym. Amazing community, great workouts and coaches are awesome at teaching you the basics and building you up. Very beginner friendly but that doesn’t mean you aren’t going to work. We workout hard but there’s tons of support and encouragement across the classes. I personally love all the cardio classes, but I haven’t joined a class I don’t love. After spending almost a year coming here, I feel amazing and love how great I am at boxing!
