Want to Start With Other Students First?

Personal training at Shaddock MMA is a great option for anyone who wants a more focused, individualized approach to fitness and martial arts training. One-on-one training allows you to work directly with a coach on your specific goals, whether that means improving strength and conditioning, learning boxing or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques, developing MMA skills, improving your fitness level, or building confidence in a supportive training environment. Personal training can also be a good fit if you are new to martial arts, returning to exercise, have specific fitness goals, or simply prefer the individual attention of working with a coach rather than participating in a group class. Your training can be adjusted to your current ability and progress as your skills and fitness improve. For those who prefer the energy and structure of training with others, Shaddock MMA also offers a variety of group fitness and martial arts classes.

We offer a variety of Adult Fitness and Martial Arts Classes from boxing, jui-jitsu, wrestling and more if personal training is not your style.  Take a look at our Class Descriptions. Contact us if you don't find the class you need.
