This gym has it all! A great clean and vibrant environment. The coaches are truly elite and I can't emphasize this enough! I went to other gyms that had decent coaches but these guys will just keep you hooked. These coaches and members are my family and they will get me to my Mission! :) <3!!!
Mission MMA is hands down one of the best martial arts gyms in Chicago. It's a great place to train and to get a great workout in. Awesome people, knowledgeable staff, and a great facility.
I have attended their "better than bootcamp" class time after time and always leave knowing I got a great workout, worked hard, and had fun with my friends. Mission MMA has great facilities, ample parking, and is a beautiful new gym. I would recommend this gym to anyone looking for a challenging workout, wanting to try something new, or maintaining their health. The staff is super helpful with any questions about memberships and keep those white mats clean!
