This gym is a game-changer! The equipment is top-notch, the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is always positive and motivating. I feel like I'm part of a real community here. Elvis and Peter are awesome highly recommend
My daughter is learning fast and she loves it.
I have always had an interest in MMA so I recently decided to find a gym that would meet my needs and this is the one. Before I began my membership with Arena Training Center, I took multiple trial classes at a few different gyms but none quite matched the culture and overall environment that ATC has. Despite no formal instruction besides a few boxing classes I was welcomed in with open arms by the coaches who all clearly have a passion for the sport and teaching it. From day one to now, every class challenges my physical and mental capacity altogether making me stronger day by day. I can’t say thanks enough to the coaches and classmates who are all helpful on my fitness journey.
This place changed my life. Elvis and Pete are world class.
Fantastic work out, great people and knowledge. Combining with my 39 years of judo brings me great satisfaction.
Professor Steven Williams is an Amazing Coach and a great person. I have trained with him prior and always had a great experience, but this new location is pristine and really has a great atmosphere. I highly recommend to anyone who is serious about learning BJJ, MMA, or Kick Boxing.
The minute you walk in you are welcomed and they treat you like family. The place is very well kept. It is a very friendly environment. Highly recommended. Keep up the great work!
I have been under Steven Williams for about 8 years now. He teaches everything from standup to leglocks and everything in between. He incorporates the minute details a learner needs when he is instructing. He teaches all types of take downs for the gi and nogi. Anytime you have a question he will make sure to answer it as well as stay after class to help you with any misconceptions or questions regarding a drill. Pete, makes sure the environment is friendly, and clean. He is also great when it comes to fitness and health. I feel comfortable asking him questions about different workout routines as well as modifying different types of exercises more directed towards jiujitsu. Elvis is a standup guy, i will admit i have never taken his class however i only hear good things from other practitioners.
This is the right place to grow and flourish, especially if you’re looking to change your life for the better.
Steven, Elvis, and Pete over at Arena are rockstars. All experts in their field of expertise and work great as a team. Top notch training in a safe, clean, and welcoming environment!
Awesome training, plethora of strength and conditioning equipment, plenty of super clean mat space. High level martial arts.
My name is Jared Gordon, and I fight in the UFC. The facility is a very clean, professional environment. Following all social distancing protocols. The coaches are of the highest level in each art form. Steven the grappling coach is the highest level coach I have ever worked with. The striking coach Elvis is one of the best thai fighters and coaches in the NYC area. I recommend this place to all levels of martial artists. Go now!!!!!
