Five Elements MMA & Fitness

I found this studio through ClassPass and ended up getting a membership here instead!
I’ve tried a few other kickboxing spots including 9round and CKO, but five elements is by far my favorite. Unlike the other studios, they have smaller class sizes that are led by instructors, which makes the experience much more personable. I’ve taken the Cage Fitness group class with both Mike and Nguyet and they are both awesome! They have great energy and more importantly, they take the time to correct you so that your workout is effective! I also love that it’s a quick 30-​minute high intensity workout, which means no excuses!
So happy to have found a place I enjoy going to workout at and at a vey reasonable price! I’ve referred my fellow ClassPass friends and they’re totally into it. A must try with or without ClassPass, I believe new clients get their first class free!

Just signed up, great atmosphere and nice poeple. They have everything you need for high intensity work outs, mma, boxing and more. I highly recomened this place. Great deals!

I did a 6 week challenge here and I have never in my life been more motivated on the day to day than when I was here. The trainers were helpful, understanding and insightful to every question I had. Whenever I arrived early to class I had someone to talk to or I was able to stretch out my limbs in whatever area wasn’t in use. There was never a time I was body shamed and never a time when I felt like I was being forced into a way of thinking that wasn’t me… we all know that feeling we get at some of those other locations.
«You’re doing great, but you shouldn’t do this… or you shouldn’t do that…»
There wasn’t ever a shouldn’t do feeling here, but rather a «Hey try this and see if it works for you».
If there was an exercise I couldn’t perform for any reason, they always had a number of other options that would help me get the same results. It is a family ran business and when you join you immediately become part of that family.
I highly recommend for anyone in the area. What helps this place really stand apart form other cross fit or multi-​circuit training type of gyms is that this place specializes in families so much that I have seen moms working out while their children take a self defense class. I don’t think you will find that at most other locations.

I really like Five Elements MMA & Fitness and came here a few times when I was on Wildfire.
I took the kickboxing class with Tim who is one of the owners and he was so friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable when it comes to mma, muay thai, boxing, and everything else in between. The few times I came here it was either a very small class (less than 3 people) or just a one on one with myself and Tim which really helped me learn technique so much better.
I definitely want to come back and check out the self defense classes more once I get my schedule situated. From what I’ve heard, regular pricing also really isn’t bad here and parking is ample.

Took this class via class pass and honestly wasn’t sure what to expect prior to walking in. However, everyone was so welcoming right away. Tim is so knowledgeable and helpful! Not only did I have a great time but learned A LOT as well. Can’t wait to bring friends here. Self defense is so important for girls in college and Tim makes it easy to learn. Highly recommend!

I’ll admit I was a bit nervous to take the Cage Fitness class at 5 Elements. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I walked in, but when I showed up, we met Mike and checked in using our fitted app. He was super friendly and gave us a very quick tour of the gym and made us feel very welcome.
The class was awesome. It was a quick high intensity, class with five 5-​minute rounds that worked the total body. We were done in 30 minutes which I loved! It was fast paced and not boring. The class was just challenging enough, and I was sore the next day. The instructor did a good job leading us and then correcting our form, while keeping the energy up. I really liked how she took the time before class to explain how everything would work, as walking into a new gym can be really intimidating, but they went out of their way to make us comfortable.
I’ll definitely be back to take another class here. They also told me about some of their upcoming challenges within their community which sounded very motivating and fun.
** Note** It is a bit hard to find from the street as they don’t have their signage up yet, so just be on the lookout**

I came across this place while in search of Filipino Martial Arts, one of the classes offered 2 times a week at this location. I attended the Escrima class and while here I noticed the facility is well cared for, with new equipment, and a very friendly staff. I’d recommend it for those looking to have fun while losing weight.

So stoked this gym opened up. They offer a holistic approach to fitness. They have an amazing/​brutal circuit training course, jujitsu, and even yoga. They also offer advice on access to organic supplements. The people that work here offer a great deal of individual attention. I have been to other MMA type gyms and I received minimal coaching, not here. This is an amazing spot to get all of your fitness (and wellness) needs met.

2 days later and I’m STILL feeling the (positive) effects of the cage fitness class! The staff was very welcoming and encouraging, the class was a blast! I’ve never felt a more effective workout for my core and upper body that was able to combine cardio with such intensity! I am trying to see if my girlfriend will join me for another class here!

I love this fitness center. Tim had an incredible story. He has done a ton of research on regenerative medicine and how to help people achieve optimal health and longevity through fitness and diet. You can tell Tim and Newitt really care about each person that trains with them.
They also have a kids self defense program and Brazilian jujitsu which my boys love.
I love training here as well, because there is a trainer always on watch to help people with their form and alignment.
I love also doing the stick fighting, adult jujitsu, personal training and the functional fitness rig. Highly recommend them! I can’t wait to get a full blood test so they can help me improve my quality of life through nutrition too!

Logged into Unilocal & saw my old review. Man I miss this place! I attended regularly (1 – 4 times a week) for 3 or so years. I have a 4 month old now & it’s the only reason I’m not in there regularly. Haven’t been back since she was born & I’m chomping at the bit to get back in — it’s that good!

Tim came for a haircut and gave me a card to come check out his business. I took my first class last night and I am hooked! Going back tonight! It’s a small, homey feel and I wasn’t uncomfortable at all. Typically I’m very shy and it actually took me about 15 minutes just to walk inside. Everyone in the class was very nice and introduced themselves. I’m doing cage fitness right now and am looking forward to adding some yoga to my weekly routine. I would suggest coming a little early so you can stretch and find yourself a comfy spot on the mat. A towel and water are also pertinent. FYI you can’t wear shoes on the mat so wear socks or slippers!

My husband and I have been taking the Tai Chi/​Yoga/​Pilates class for almost a year and are super pleased with how flexible and toned we’ve gotten. I never thought I could get my hubby to attend a class, but this one is small, geared for all levels and he LOVES it. Our teacher is in his 70’s and is amazingly strong and knowledgable. He gives specific instructions and modifies the moves so everyone can do them. The location is in an industrial area, but don’t be turned off by that. This class is different from anything you’ve done before — it not only challenges your body, but your mind as well. Give it a try (I think the first class is free)!

GREATEST PLACE EVER!!!
The owner Tim is great and is an experienced instructor. He gives great instructions and is encouraging during the workouts. There is a variety of classes to choose from (kids program, kickboxing, boxing, jiu-​jitsu, yoga and ect.). You can get a great workout, be surrounded by great people and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to come.
COME CHECK IT OUT!!!

Review based on the CAGE FITNESS class.
The cage fitness class is designed to simulate a championship MMA bout — so you’re working out using a 50 lb body bag for 5 5-​minute rounds. The instructor, Adam, was hilarious, extremely energetic and very helpful. My friend and I were new (which he knew) to the body bag working out thing, so he paid extra special attention to us (HUGE PLUS!!) as well as still being helpful to other members. This is only a 30 minute class with a 1 minute water break in between rounds — if you’re busting your ass, then you will definitely be dripping in sweat afterwards!
Random side notes:
–NO MIRRORS! I see that as a good thing! You aren’t tempted to look at yourself and judge your posture or notice how disgusting your hair looks. just do it!
–The members that attended the class while we were there were quite friendly
–No shoes on the mat
–Limited number of little cubbies to put your stuff in
–They provide cups of water for $ 0.25 with refills, and $ 3 a month for unlimited. Just bring your own!
–The studio is in the back of a business center. Tons of parking (when I went at 6pm)
–Compared to other gyms, it IS small. It’s one big room with padded floors and walls. It doesn’t bother me at all, just saying!
The owner, Tim, was also very helpful in answering our questions before and after the class. He mentioned another thing that stands out with this studio — NO CONTRACTS! You pay monthly! You can give him $ 60 cash and there’s your payment for that month. He doesn’t take your credit card down unless you want to do it that way. I don’t remember exact costs, but it’s around the usual $ 60+/month with other classes included. You can also come in for individual classes, or pay a small fee for 2 classes a week. It’s very flexible!
Overall, I had SO MUCH FUN and was actually kind of sad when I realized the 5 rounds were over. Time flies when you’re having fun! I expected a typical kickboxing class where you’re punching/​kicking/​elbowing/​kneeing a heavy bag — instead, you’re doing all that to a «body» on your feet AND on the ground which makes it unique and fun to try at least once. I’m definitely be taking more classes =]

Nothing feels better than being worked out so hard that you create a pool of sweat on the floor.
Tim (the owner), and just about everyone taking the classes, is super supportive and genuinely wants to help you. They push you to your limit, but never over works you.
My favorite class so far is martial arts. Tim taught me how to resist a predator that tries to get you into a van, and how to fight if someone knocks you down on the floor. Super empowering, and a great workout. He also taught me how to always stay aware of my surroundings to avoid bad situations.
Its $ 15 a class, and there is a discount on the webpage for new members. A must try for any gal that walks home alone late at night!

Loved this place! The studio is clean and contemporary, the staff is courteous, and there was plenty of parking. I took a free Zumba Class with Brenda. Her classes are free the month of August, so get in there! The class is taught on the matt which provides great shock absorption for your feet and shins. Plus I really love that there are no mirrors! I was able to just have fun and sweat! There is also a check in special on Unilocal for the studio’s other fitness classes. Bring socks (no shoes on the matt), water, and a towel.

I did the kickboxing class and it was one of the best workouts I’ve done in a long time. I’m an avid swimmer and work out regularly. I’ve gone through home workouts such as P90X and Insanity; they’re great workouts, but can get monotonous after awhile. Doing the kickboxing class at 5 Elements was a great full body conditioning workout that was fun and exciting the whole time. I enjoyed the routine the whole time and didn’t feel like I was working. I’m not from the area, but when I came back to my home town I immediately looked up my local MMA gym and joined the kickboxing class — all inspired by Tim and his studio. Now I do kickboxing 2 – 3 times a week and feel amazing.

I started doing the woman’s kickboxing when school started. Tim took the time to really show me how to do moves that I struggled with. I really enjoyed how clean the mats were and how much core strength I feel that I have gained. Also it is really kinda therapeutic.
My son also takes a kids class as well and really enjoyed it. The price is great the experience is something my son enjoys.

Great place! Fun and challenging… I always feel like I’m being pushed to work as hard as I can but I’m still excited and ready to go back for more. Everyone is fun and supportive, not just Tim and Mike but all of the guys and gals that come to class.
The focus on practical self defense (even in the ladies fitness kickboxing class) makes you feel like you’re really learning a skill you can use while you’re getting fit as opposed to mindlessly leveling up or burning calories on the treadmill.
Highly recommend stick fighting and tai chi/​pilates/​yoga on Saturday.
