Best Muay Thai Boxing Gym Sterling Heights Near Me

Geoffrey Kahn: Excellent training, equally welcoming to both amateurs and those interested in fighting/competing. The coaches actively cultivate a great training environment. Everyone works hard but there are no toxic egos, bullies, etc. Or if there are, they don't last long. Wonderful people across the board, and top-notch training. Been going for 2 years and no plans to stop anytime soon.

Jason walker: The gym has friendly staff and pushes me to new limits and has everything needed to become the best fighter

Mel Russell: If you're someone looking for a bjj/fighting gym as a new martial artist, this may not the place for you. I visited this facility on two separate occasions. They were gracious enough to allow me a couple free trial classes, and thank goodness because I wouldn't personally invest too much stock and energy into going back. The first night I went to trial a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu class and was instructed on when to arrive and to wear workout clothes. Upon arrival I was greeted by some not so friendly looking faces. People who kind of just stared at me as I walked in the door and had to stammer through why I was there. Liability waiver was signed and I was shown where to go to change and meet the instructor back at. I was given a gi top to wear over my shorts to run through class in. The instructing for this class, Todd, was not super articulate or favorable for someone brand new to the art, and I was not shown a particularly attentive amount of separate instructing besides my partner, Leah, who ended up being the most helpful (as a fellow newer white belt) by the end of class I had walked off the mat to speak briefly with the instructor who was more concerned with telling me pricing instead of any kind of class follow up, then requested I give the gi top back there - where I took it off exposing just a sports bra underneath. Which is fine in itself, if I hadn't have felt so small otherwise. Fast forward a couple days, I wanted to give the kickboxing class a shot even knowing I'd not be going back for bjj. The kickboxing instructor, Marco ended up being super lighthearted, personable, and inviting for someone new. He gave me a sense of humbleness in what he did, which is what I look for in particular in an instructor for me. Unfortunately, I was greeted, again, by an unwelcoming front desk staff member who wouldn't acknowledge me until I hesitantly approached, and was still met with callousness. I give the gym overall two stars because the facility itself is marvelous, with a wide variety of options outside of bjj/kickboxing for fitness. This includes a full gym with Olympic weights, and a full upper training deck. The bathrooms were clean and modern as well. For someone who has trained in martial arts for 20 years, the subpar instructing (with the exception of Marco *thumbs up*) was okay for me - having knowledge of fundamentals and being very teachable. For someone who's new to any kind of martial art, though, I would not recommend.

Charlie Maxwell: Great facility. Clean and lots to chose from.

Moussa Hamka: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueI thought i was going to die

Loyal Design: You can get seriously hurt here not for the weak

Kyle Berryman: If you have any interest in MMA or the benefits training for it provides you, this is the best, friendliest, and most accessible!

Linda Estes: Friendly environment. Great instructors. Great equipment. Patient while training new comers. My son Brian has Asperger's and needs to build confidence after being bullied in school all his life for being "different". I am well pleased with how they have embraced him. Todd is Amazing and Funny!

Malachi Chambers: I enjoyed beating the snot out of this little white boy

Betty Garey: Great facility and really friendly staff. High price but I honestly think that it results in the gym rarely being crowded and never being overcrowded.

Nathan W: Very cool gym. Took my daughter to the free class that they offer.She liked it but Jiu Jitsu really isn't a girly sport.She is only 6 years old. Only 2-3 girls and rest were boys although there was 1 girl there exact size of my daughter so it was funny.She enjoyed the class, but when I ask if she wants to go regularly she didn't seem excited about it. She likes gymnastics and girly activities.Pricing, in my opinion, is fantastic. You pay 1 time per month and that gets you unlimited classes (they do kids classes 3x a week). So if you took your kid(s) there 3x a week you would really get your moneys worth.

D'Lorean Bolade: Todd a 🤡. Simple as that. Read the other reviews about their experience with the owner.

Jay I: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueAwesome place to train and get in shape. Instructors are laid back and patient with newer people. The personal trainers are also very helpful

Nicholas Antonioli: Mash is an awesome gym no matter where you are on your martial arts journey.I’ve traveled and trained around the country and Mash is among the best gyms I’ve visited. Knowledgeable coaches, clean gym, good competition.Todd and his team (shout out to Karen) go above and beyond to help each member feel like a part of the family while providing an excellent atmosphere to push yourself and develop your skill set.

Brandon Guziatek: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueSuper friendly staff and other people who want to show me how to train and do things correctly. Everyone there gives a good vibe and it's also a legit mma gym which is what I was looking for. Also affordable

anthony Haddad: Critical:Communication,ProfessionalismTodd is a thief. I signed a contract for 3 months, and without my consent, when the contract ended, he withdrew 300 from my debit card. After contacting several times with the very professional lady up front, i am yet to get a call from Todd after almost 2 weeks. Absolutely disgusting.

Olivia Gresham: I do boxing training with Andre Sanders. I'm right handed but learning South Paw stance. He's great, personable, and will create custom training sessions for you

Rebekah Kash: Its my 3rd class and we signed-up for personal training. Doug is our teacher and he is amazing....

Donald Murphy: I've been going here for a month. The instructors are awesome. All of the members are really solid and friendly. If you are reading this and thinking about coming here, please do. If you are totally new to BJJ this is a very welcoming place. There are a really good variety of skill levels as well as a good variety of...well, peoples sizes. I always leave this gym feeling like I've learned a lot and bettered myself. See you on the mats.

Samuel Park: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,ValuePlenty of equipment and good owner. Great trainers. Many different fitness and combat options.

Nathan Zhang: Came here last November before I had this google account which I'm posting this review from. MMA class was intense. Judo class is very welcoming to newbies.I'd recommend this gym, sure.The only reason I'm not a member here and thus not taking lessons/sparring here, is that they don't teach Muay Thai kickboxing, they teach Yaw Yan kickboxing, and I'm a Muay Thai style kickboxer.

Dylan Kittila: The best people, the best environment, you become part of a big and very caring family here. I’ve been training jiu jitsu here for just under two years, and it’s been one of the most gratifying and funnest experiences of my life. The coaches really care. Doesn’t matter if you’re 5 or 50, male or female or anything, everyone’s kind and supportive and encouraging!

Eric Rose: Just joined, love it already!

Fortnitegamer777: very nice trainer goes by the name sandro. Helped me out. Only one problem. His weiner was always pointing out hard. Not a issue because it wasn’t very noticeable because it’s small but still a minor issue. This is his face

Leo Hajduk: The instructors are top notch! Happy to work with you when your struggling and full of motivation and encouragement! They will train you at any level. They will help you to succeed!!

Sammuel Lahaie: Amazing Jiu Jitsu Program.-Friendly/Knowledgeable instructors-Clean mats-Clean bathrooms-Clean shower-Good prices-Great scheduleIf you’re looking for a BJJ gym to try out or switch to, I highly recommend New Way.I think they offer a free session; I recommend trying BJJ even though they have more than just BJJ. I can only speak on the BJJ aspect though.5/5 recommended!

Marcus Redman: A great atmosphere with great people! Very welcoming and no ego!

Miles Ortolan: This gym is FIRE!! Everyone there is very helpful and friendly, would highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants to start boxing. Just watch out for Casper, he always cooks too much spaghetti and brings it in. The spaghetti isnt bad, but he gets really offended when you dont eat a incredibly large portion. like really... I love the gym, but about once a month I have be avoid casper until everyone else has taken the time to eat his spaghetti. Maybe it wouldnt be such a problem if he bothered to salt his pasta water.

Andrew Cholagh: Great atmosphere and people!

Christina Barbar: Hard workout, Felt great afterwords. Friendly environment! Staff/coaches is great and welcoming!

Belanda Daoud: Great cardio session! Burnt lots of calories

Yulissa Gallegos: The staff here is super nice, giving it a very warm and welcoming atmosphere where I can get a good workout in!

Jordyn Carl: Instructors are great! Fun way to exercise and meet amazing people!

Nikki Rini: The coaches and owners here have made me feel like a part of their family over the last 18 months and if you are looking to get good training in for you or your kiddos - for ALL levels of training and competition if your brand new or if you have competition experience in boxing , jiu jitsu or MMA new way is a great place for you to train!

Kristian Jovanovski: Awesome place to train and it has a great community

Jason Stachura: Love training at new way. Instructors are all grade "A" and have a vast knowledge of boxing, MMA, BJJ and fitness training. Coach bobby breaks down boxing to its simplest form which makes for easy learning and most importantly he shows how to apply in the ring. Stan, Sunshine, Izi, Jordan, Marcus and Jim are all real good at thier craft and make you feel comfortable training even if you are new.

Jeff Packett: I have been taking my daughter 10 years old here for 4 years.When we first met the coaching staff my daughter was quiet,timid,and had no self confidence.Fast forward to today she is a leader,mentor, independent 14 year old and is going to a National tournament soon to go up against some of the best female fighters in the U.S.Through hardworking and dedication from the staff and my daughter this could’ve never been achieved.Thank you coaches and Newway for all that you do!!

situation effect: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueGreat place to train and very discipline

Kevin Smith: So I have been going to New Way for about 8 or 9 months doing just Jiu Jitsu there. It really is a great no pressure place to learn the craft. There are a variety of skill levels and good class sizes that are not overwhelming. They take good care of you whether you want to learn to compete, in it for the fitness, need a confidence boosting hobby, or (like me) are doing it to have a skill for your job in law enforcement.The rest of the facility is awesome too if you want to work out, hit something, or throw people around in Judo. Make this one of your first stops if you are looking for a martial arts gym... They have kids classes too... It's adorable.

matthew windquist: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueNew way has an amazing atmosphere as soon as you step in the door. I always feel welcome and that the instructors genuinely care about teaching. Other gym members are fun and make it feel like a family. GREAT JOB NEW WAY!
