My daughter trained Jiu Jitsu and MMA here for close to 8 years and really enjoyed it. My husband and I also did the cardio kickboxing and enjoyed it as well. So many good coaches during our time there. Shout out to all the great coaches, Coach Zac, the youth BJJ Coach Zac, Coach D, Coach Murray, Coach Kieth and Coach Devanta!

Awesome gym!! Zak and all the coaches are really nice and informative. They all have their own unique ways of teaching! Every coach instills you with the upmost confidence while also breaking things down and simplifying them for you to understand. They really care about their craft and it shows. It is a judgement free zone, so check your ego at the door when you walk in there. They offer free trial classes for BJJ, Kickboxing and MMA. Get outside your comfort zone and come in for a free trial class, you wont regret it! My only regret is that I didn't come here sooner!

Tried a couple of other gyms but always come back here. The level of professionalism and cleanliness beats anything I've tried in the area. Great gym, experienced coaches, and welcome atmosphere.

The energy of this place is addictive! The staff is so genuine and friendly and lightly push you to go beyond the limitations of your body and mind. I should have joined years ago because after 3 months of kickboxing fitness, I’m seeing my body transform. Just give it a try!

Dropped into MMA classes for a few weeks while staying with family in Kansas City during the holiday-- I absolutely loved this gym and would absolutely train here full time if I lived here! I learned so much, and really loved the vibes and atmosphere at this gym. 10/10 recommend :)

Grew up boxing, started BJJ about a month ago. The comradarie and welcoming at Glory is second to none. Every coach and training partner I've trained with has been awesome to mentor under.

I love going to this gym. I was worried about starting at 40, but everyone is willing to work with you. I’ve been going for over a year and miss the gym and people if I can’t make it in. They have great kids programs as well. Our 10 year old loves the class and coaches.

Best gym chain in the area guaranteed. They teach a variety of skills regarding fighting, also the head coach of the bjj and mma classes is a UFC fighter. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to get better at self defense or even cut a few lbs for your summer figure.

One of the top Northland fitness gyms in my opinion. You can plan on a great full body, gut wrenching, stress relieving workout, day in and day out. Instructors are very positive and encourage everyone to work hard .

I walked into Glory MMA over a year ago and my experience has been amazing. I started off just doing the GloryFit classes, they are amazing cardio classes taught my amazing coaches. Each coach has a different style so no two classes are ever the same. The coaches work with you to keep you up to speed but also challenge you every class. It’s a great atmosphere and definitely a great value.

One of the best BJJ and MMA experiences I’ve ever had. I was brand new in BJJ and welcomed with open arms. Zak & Matt run a family oriented but serious training environment. Whether you’ve never stepped on the mats before and want to start training, or need a hardcore coach to push you to the next level in the fight game. GLORY is the place to be!

I found Glory through a trainer at another gym in 2016. I had always wanted to learn some martial art, and MMA striking seemed like a great introduction. I joined and immediately found an awesome group of coaches and friends. This place is more than a gym, it’s a community. The coaches really care about helping people achieve all their goals (look for the black chalk board wall with all the goals on them), not just fitness goals. They are kind, but hold people accountable. And most importantly, the leadership team leads by example! Since joining, I have seen them invest and reinvest into their gym. They have expanded, invested in new equipment, new mats, and have created a clean and comfortable and welcoming environment. There are a lot real fighters that train at Glory every day, but everyone has a place here. If you are interested in simply burning calories and getting more fit, give their GloryFit class a try. If you want to learn boxing/kickboxing, they have put together a an excellent striking program. I went from barely being able to throw a punch to feeling comfortable live sparring with others within a year. If you are more interested in grappling, their Brizalian Jiu Jitsu program is top notch, being led by some best black and brown belt coaches around. You won’t find a better group of men and women to train with either! These people push themselves and the people around them to be better than they thought possible! 10/10 would recommend checking Glory MMA and Fitness out if you have any interest at all! I promise, it will exceed your expectations...it did mine at least!

Coach Zak Cummings is an amazing and talented instructor, leader, fighter and person in general. Same can be said about every other instructor, as well. The gyms atmosphere is always welcoming and everyone’s focused on bettering themselves and each other always.

I dropped in on my way through town for one of their BJJ classes. You can tell a lot about a gym by how they treat total strangers. Everyone was very welcoming, courteous, and gave me a great training session. Not to mention that these guy are damn savages. Love it. I'll definitely be back if I'm ever around again.

We had tried Tae Kwon Do and wrestling with little buy in from our boys (9&6). After an incident at school where our son was injured by another student, we were determined to find a class to provide some self defense instruction, we found that and much more. - Both boys love going and have increased confidence. - They are learning striking, defense, take downs and submission techniques that I feel confident will allow them to protect themselves. - The coaches work to get to know the kids and create a positive learning environment to allow for real progress. - Their dad takes jujitsu while the boys do class. - I take advantage of Glory Fit while everyone else is occupied. I typically burn 350-400 calories in 45 minutes! The environment is family friendly while still maintaining a professional feel.

I have been a member for a little over 2 years and I have to say this is hands down the best MMA gym in town! You will not find another gym like it. I take all the classes Glory has to offer and I am never disappointed. We have the best instructors and teammates who always make you feel welcome.
