We’ve had such a wonderful experience with this program! My kids absolutely love going, and I’ve seen such a positive change in them. They’ve become stronger, more confident, and much less afraid to try new things. Thanks

Had a great experience at Elevate MMA! I went in for a trial class yesterday and really enjoyed it. The coaches were welcoming, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The atmosphere was great, and everyone was friendly and respectful. Definitely a place where I’d feel comfortable training and improving. Highly recommend!
I’ve had a great experience training at Elevate MMA. It’s a great gym for anyone interested in MMA or Muay Thai, whether you’re a beginner or already have experience. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the coaches genuinely care about helping you improve.
The private training has been one of my favorite parts. The one-on-one attention makes it much easier to work on specific techniques, improve your weaknesses, and get detailed feedback. Coach Bilal has been especially great to train with. He explains techniques clearly, pays attention to the small details, and pushes you to improve while still making the sessions enjoyable.
If you’re looking for an MMA gym with good coaching, private training, and a supportive environment, I’d definitely recommend giving Elevate MMA a try.

Whether you’re completely new to MMA or already have experience, I’d definitely recommend checking out Elevate MMA. Great gym, great people, and an even better coach. 💯
Trained at this place for 1.5 years by far the greatest Muay Thai program I’ve been in more which provides more freedom to spar than any other gym but yet no one ever gets hurt just comes to show great sense of community elevate has to offer . Coach bilal was the best coach he doesn’t like sugarcoating rather he likes correcting mistakes in a humorous way keeping the gym environment positive while improving technique condition and allowing space for creativity. The gym was also open from morning all the way till night allowing space for more training and fitting into multiple schedules really loved every bit of training I did there highly recommend
From personal experience, Elevate MMA is hands-down the best Muay Thai gym I’ve trained at. The coaches aren’t just skilled—they genuinely care about your progress and push you to be your best without ever making you feel out of place. I came in with minimal experience, but the way they broke
down technique and built my confidence was incredible. The vibe is super motivating—everyone's focused, but there’s a real sense of community too. You walk in feeling like part of the team, and walk out stronger every time.
I've been coming for around a year now. I can't even begin with how much this has helped me not only grow as a martial artist but also as a person. As a teenager, I was able to make many friends while also pushing my athletic capabilities. The engaging experience provided by the owner and coach Bilal, is like none other that i have experienced. He provides a lot of wisdom and experience in the world of Mixed Martial Arts. With very flexible hours, I feel comfortable to come when I want, even with my very flexible hours. One review that I saw mentioned that he didn't have much help. All he had to do was ask as I did when I was new to the sport. So maybe for him I recommend that he would have come for a little bit longer than two classes. All in all, Elevate MMA is a wonderful business and I strongly encourage anybody who would like to start or continue their MMA journey to come check it out!
I’ve trained at all the gyms in Ottawa and I’ve never experienced a place like elevate mma good fighting skills tricks and drills and pads and a great sense of community ! Coach Belal and amine are the best !
Elevate MMA is the perfect gym for beginners! Bilal's coaching is top-notch, and the atmosphere is so welcoming. I've gained confidence and skills in a short time. If you're new to MMA, this is the place to be!
Omg this place is amazing. My boys had so much fun in the young Muay Thai. It was beautiful to see all the coaches helping the kids. My kids were smiling and very in to it. 😂😂. With the tongue out 😂😂😂

I has a bad experience at this place. When I went for two trial classes, I didn't learn anything and was left to work the bag by myself. The instructor took a hands off approach. I didn't get the impression that he was the type of person who was level-headed, as he bragged about punching a construction worker and had broken his hand doing so. The students are nearly exclusively teenagers; I only saw one or two adults training there. At minimum, one student was a "killer" as he easily out wrestled me and then proceeded to crush my windpipe. I was surprised that he did that to a complete beginner even though we had agreed to work on wrestling not bjj. On a positive note, the facility seems clean and well equipped although it is rather small. Overall I can't recommend this place for an adult beginner like myself. Perhaps I caught them at a bad time, giving the benefit of the doubt.
