Very laid back and welcoming here. The coaches here are great. You can tell they enjoy teaching others and want to see you progress. Very patient and helpful during the drills and training. This type of flow runs through the gym. Nate (The owner) allows you to take your kids with you which is very convenient for me as a parent. My daughter looks forward to going every week. He's always engaging and playful with the kids there. Just an over all great atmosphere.

I started my training journey in this gym, and I couldn't be happier. I walked in to learn some basic kick boxing for a trip I planned with a cousin. I was greeted by the head coach and owner, Nate Lamotte, who spoke to me about the programs available. Coach Nate is insanely knowledgeable and a highly professional instructor with many professional fights. He leads this VERY CLEAN and GREAT gym WITHOUT the cult like atmosphere you see in other gyms. This place makes you feel very comfortable and welcome for all skill levels. No egos from anyone here. It's also very obvious that he takes great pride in who he employs to represent him and his company. His team of assistant coaches are very knowledgeable and very patient, making sure that you understand what you're learning in a safe manner. I joined for Kickboxing, and now I train Jiu-jitsu, Grappling, and Muay Thai when I can. They even have me doing my first BJJ competition after only a few month. Before I forget, I have lost 15 lbs by simply showing up. You can't put a price on your health. This is easily the most effective way to get into shape, trim your waist, and increase your cardio. And I can't thank them enough. Do yourself a favor, walk in, and speak to any of the coaches, take the free trial. I promise you won't regret it. Don't get discouraged if it feels tough the first week. Keep coming, and the pieces all fall into place.

This is the best gym I've ever had the honor of training at. The instructors are laid back, very knowledgeable, hands-on, and push you far beyond your limits. I've been coming since October of '23, and I've taken their striking class and some grappling classes. My body is WAY more conditioned than before I came. My cardio, strength, balance and reaction-timing is so much better because of this gym.

Incredibly welcoming and training focused. I have been to schools where any new guy gets met with a bunch of ego and aggression and this place does not feel like that. Everyone is extremely nice and the amount of talent is incredible. Overall the best experience I've had at a martial arts school. Nate is a great dude with a great attitude, really feel like you are making the right decision walking through the door.

There really isn't a word I feel comfortable using to describe Burgess MMA. Academy, Gym, Dojo, they dont really accurately describe what this place is and can be. It's a community and the destination for the absolute best martial arts training you will find in the Manchester Area and beyond . There is a martial art style trained here for every persons needs, Muay thai, boxing, kickboxing, BJJ both no gi and gi , karate, and of course wrestling. A den of wolves where all are welcomed.

I showed up to Burgess MMA in 2016 after re-locating for a job in Manchester, NH and having trained with a great team in Fall River, MA who I had fought for and become very close with. I had a tall order and tried several gyms in the area after moving up to see if any were a good fit. From the first time on the mats at Burgess it was evident to me that this team was strong, dedicated and very skilled, much like the gym and team I had just left. Not only was everyone very welcoming, all training partners and gym members were extremely encouraging right off the bat as I hadn't done much training in a Gi before starting here and had to make some adjustments. Burgess is the premiere gym in the Manchester NH area, Nate Lamotte is a great detail oriented coach and it's a privilege to study with him. In many other gyms you'll find coaches with different expertise whether it be striking, Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, etc. - Nate is very well versed in all areas of MMA having been a long time competitor himself. The other major difference is after visiting many different gyms in New England (CT/MA/RI) many were advertised as an "MMA GYM" but did not offer a class on fighting under the unified rules - Burgess offers 2 MMA a week specifically working on MMA - so it won't be up to you to blend all your skills together without much practice. Bottom line is if you're living in Manchester or southern NH and thinking about trying MMA/Kickboxing/Jiu-Jitsu, look no further than Burgess.

I came into the gym after I tore my ACL, and after doctors told me I'd be battling pain from "jumpers knee," and the asthma that returned for the rest of my life. Training here not only cured my asthma, but I have been pain free on my left knee ever since. On top of making life long friendships with team mates and getting in the best shape of my life, I also gained confidence that resulted in a better job and better life.

It's fine. Probably the best place for this in the area since there aren't many of them. The pricing is really good and the amount of different types of martial arts classes is nice so you can focus on grappling or striking or whatever you want to focus on. The owner is actually an active instructor which is good and more I can say about some other schools nearby, and you can tell he and the other instructors do care about what they do which is very important. There is a very strong sense of camaraderie they try to cultivate after and between classes. None of the instructors here are anyone I'd rank in my best martial arts teacher list that ive had over the years except maybe the muay Thai guy on Saturday, he's pretty good. The owner is overly cautious in my opinion, you need to be here 6 months for MMA classes and wear all this protection to spar so that's not great for me. And like I said, neither he or the other instructors except the muay Thai guy are amazing teachers in my opinion, they're fine. And I don't enjoy all the kids running around the mat all the time. Overall, this place is okay. Probably best in the area. Edit: after I posted about the kids I don't recall seeing them again. So I did appreciate that.

The head coach Nate LaMotte is an unprofessional bully. He constantly shows up late to classes if he even shows up at all. I would leave zero stars if I could, and there are much better places in the area. And no, the criticism is not unfounded. I've personally witnessed it multiple times.
