Get in shape, feel great, and reach your full potential
At Southtowns MMA and Fitness Center, we have been creating a judgement-free atmosphere since 2009. We base our sessions and classes on clients' needs and abilities for an effective workout. It doesn't matter if you have never worked out before or are just ready to start something new, all experience levels are welcome! Our focus is fitness and self-defense; not to use these tactics to harm others. When training for a fight, these tactics are only to be used in the octagon or in a gym setting.
