Combat Fitness MMA

Fantastic experience: This place is great and I cannot recommend it enough. I've been in the boxing class since last July/August and have had an exceptional experience. The coaches are fantastic, knowledgeable and patient for all skill levels. And everyone that I've met while training there has been helpful and supportive as well. If you're looking to get into martial arts in a non-intimidating studio with a bunch of cool and supportive folks, this is the place.

Fantastic experience: Very safe and positive environment to learn a variety of self defense and martial arts techniques. While I only did 3 months here, I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for self defense, exercise, or a serious dojo for competitions.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending for a little while now and I have nothing but good things to say about the coaches and athletes. All of the coaches are very knowledgeable in their craft and cater to all levels of skill. The athletes are all very kind loving people that I enjoy training with everyday. I could never find a better community then the one right here at Combat Fitness.

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing, I really enjoy doing boxing here great coach, overall good people

Fantastic experience: Where do I even start? I wanted to get back into shape. Anthony and the staff at Combat Fitness were helpful, kind and made me feel at home right from the start. Over the past several months, I've gotten more than I could ever ask for - friendship, community, and people that care about your development. It's also been an excellent place for my 11-year old son to build his confidence. So, if you're looking to pick up Boxing, Brazilian Ju-Jitsu (BJJ), Muay Thai Kickboxing, or want a great workout, this is the place to be - hands down.

Fantastic experience: Scotty is the most knowledgeable kickboxing instructor in the area, and he's a fantastic coach to boot. Not everyone can teach! Coming here as an athlete is the highlight of my week and the chemistry between everyone is friendly and engaging. That being said, the competitors have a space they can take the reigns off a bit inside the ring, and regularly attend fight events. It's obvious this place is a developmental gym, anyone is welcome, but it's the only place in Vermont that could gladly accommodate someone looking to start from nothing, and go pro.

Fantastic experience: CombatFitness is INCREDIBLE! Whether your looking to compete in MMA, bjj, kickboxing, boxing or you're just looking for a fun way to workout this place is for you! CombatFitness is a clean facility, well stocked with heavy bags of all kinds, pads and mitts (and whatever else you like to punch up), a lifting area, grapple mats and a professional style ring! All of the coaches are extremely knowledgeable and have competed (and won) in their sports at high levels. The community is very welcoming and friendly to strangers and newbies. Dont have stuff? Forgot something small? Dont worry they have got you covered. Wraps, gloves, gis, mouth guards, shin protection its all right up at the desk. You could walk in there today with nothing and no experience and leave tired, better at fighting, and with a full bag of gear! So why dontchya? Come find your second home today at CombatFitness! Your fightfamily awaits

Fantastic experience: I joined 6 months ago and I haven't looked back. This place welcomes you with open arms and provides you with excellent coaches and mentors. Joining this gym has become like a second family, the other members are great and everyone carries a positive attitude. If you are interested in competing in combat sports or just want to use it as exercise, this place is for you. The instructors care about the members and want the best for everyone. I'm happy I found Combat fitness and I truly recommend you try it out.

Fantastic experience: One of the best places in VT for Combat Sports! Combat Fitness MMA (CF) is one of the best places I've been to in VT for Combat Sports. The coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, caring, and funny (sometimes), and the community is very welcoming. The gym is very clean and has lots of equipment for boxers, kickboxers, and BJJ practitioners. There is a free-weights and cardio section which has enough for most gym-goers. Classes are "beginner friendly," so waiting to "get fit" to go to the gym should not be a barrier! Coaches are accommodating of different experience and fitness levels and the other gym-goers are friendly and helpful if you ask for help. Overall, a great gym without a toxic "gym bro" culture

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality , Value Great gym, quality training, great coaches, best gym in vt in my oponion.

Fantastic experience: My fiancé and I have been in Vermont for a few months and been training at Combat Fitness MMA. We have boxed all over the world (Switzerland, Cuba, Canada (Toronto and Montreal), Florida) and what an incredible gym this is. The gym is not only gorgeous and absolutely amazing to train in, but Anthony's passion for the sport translates to his boxers and the gym itself. The gym not only feels like one big family, but it has this spirit that makes you want to come in and word hard, and have fun while you're doing it. I highly recommend Combat Fitness MMA!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Combat Fitness for over a year now and I have had nothing but awesome experiences. The coaching staff is incredible and the atmosphere in the gym is one that encourages growth without seeming too intimidating. Boxing has become my favorite activity and the gym itself plays no small role in that. Make them miss, make them pay!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality , Value I'll admit I had my reservations joining a new gym. However between the experience of the coaches and the kindness of some of the other members. I am happy to a call it my fight gym.

Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough great things about this gym. Everyone is so welcoming and informative. I was nervous to start boxing as a young, inexperienced female but couldn’t have been more relived with the gym I chose. Combat fitness is a cool community, and Anthony has so much knowledge to share. I’ve learned so much since I started and I can’t wait to continue to learn more! 10/10

Fantastic experience: Coach Anthony and his team are all incredible to work with. Getting to work directly with the highly professional coaches is exactly what I was looking to get out of this and exactly what Ive gotten. Everyone at the gym is extremely welcoming and looking to help others learn. Being a newcomer can be intimidating but the crew at Combat Fitness make it so easy. Highly highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Can't say enough good things about this gym! Anthony and Lee pour their heart and soul into this gym, and their effort is reflected by the dozens of kind, accepting and dedicated members who consistently show up week after week. They have experienced instructors, offer affordable monthly memberships and work with all skill levels in a variety of disciplines. Whether you're looking for a new way to get in shape or are want to be the next Golden Gloves champion, this gym has the tools you need to accomplish your goals.

Fantastic experience: I've been training boxing at Combat Fitness for a bit over 2 years now and for a good reason. Anthony is a great boxing coach who is always there to help you learn and answer any questions you have. It can be intimidating to join a martial art gym, but at Combat Fitness you can find people of all ages and levels of experience. Even though I haven't truly given a chance to other martial arts offered at Combat Fitness, I can still tell (from the looks of it) that people seem to enjoy them a lot.

Fantastic experience: Great customer service, very attentive coaching for beginners and advanced alike, owner/coach Anthony is fantastic at catering to the needs of all athletes, very welcoming environment, and overall really great experience. Nothing negative to say in the slightest. Highly recommend for anyone looking into a gym to call home!

Fantastic experience: This place easily has one of the BEST atmospheres amongst gyms in Vermont. The sense of community and inclusiveness is second to none. From the banter before a class, to the congrats after finishing a workout. If you want something that eliminates ego, helps motivate you, all the while having you leave a few pounds lighter after every session, this is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: thoroughly enjoyable experience. i went for the standard free day they give you to try it out (which i appreciate) and found the environment supportive and welcoming. there seems to be a wide range of experience and skill sets in this gym which makes it ideal for progressing as a martial artist, from my perspective. i found the instructors and assistants helpful and sensitive to the needs of their pupils, and engaging and able to provide levity to the discussion as well. altogether, fun and entirely worth it. with humble gratitude, yours truly

Fantastic experience: If your looking to get into martial arts this is the place to be! They have a decent size lifting gym, a boxing ring, rolling mats, heavy bags, and a lot more. Everyone is very professional and it’s a fun place to go to! The classes are for any skill level which I find is great because it’s not intimidating. The coaching is fantastic and if you have any questions they are there to help you the best they can. The one thing that they don’t have is speed bags which I find funny! Overall combat fitness is a great spot for families and beginner to advanced people who want to learn martial arts and it’s worth at least giving it a shot!

Fantastic experience: Best boxing gym in Vermont hands down and one of the best in New England. Perfect for anybody of all skill ranges. Combat Fitness is perfect for beginners to get experience and for veterans to continue to learn and develop. 6 stars!

Fantastic experience: Overall Experience is Excellent! This is a great place to go for training. Anthony is a great Boxing coach and the others seem to be very nice and helpful. If you are looking to get in to Boxing I would say this is a great place to start. The first class is free, Anthony will work with you and tailor what he teaches you to your style. Every is very friendly and helpful. It truly is a Judgement Free Zone. They have many different membership options from a Day Pass to a Full Access Pass.

Fantastic experience: I've been trying to find a "fun" way to workout for a while. Thought I'd give boxing a try, and I'm really glad I have. I'm a total newb. But Coach Anthony and some of the guys who have been doing it a while have all been gracious. The learning curve hasn't been too difficult, and although the workouts sometimes kick my butt, that's exactly what I need! I've been going for a few months and highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I recently joined Combat Fitness and was really happy and impressed with the intro class, specifically boxing with Anthony. The transition was easy and attention not only from Anthony but other more seasoned participants to help get started was above and beyond. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Combat Fitness for little under a year now, and I have never gone in and had a bad experience. Everyone is very welcoming, supportive and patient. The coaches are very knowledgeable and the space is clean and organized.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Coaches create a very welcoming learning environment regardless if your goals are fitness, self defense, or competitive there's a spot at combat. I started coming to calls before I could do even do a full pushup and never felt pressure of shame for it.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, when it comes to boxing Anthony knows what he's taking about, really enjoy the training

Fantastic experience: Very first time goer friendly. Encouraging atmosphere and great community. Highly recommend for anyone one just starting out or continuing their practice.

Fantastic experience: The staff here is extremely experienced, professional, and flexible to your needs. I train with Anthony weekly and he has tailored my program around what my goals are and I've seen nothing but improvements since I started. Go here! Even if you don't want to partake in actual combat the workouts in the classes are worth it!!

Fantastic experience: If you like yoga but it find that it isn't violent enough for you, there is no better choice than Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Combat Fitness MMA in Winooski. I have been training in BJJ at Combat Fitness for the past 4 years and I can't recommend it more. Grappling and striking classes are great ways to have fun, learn a skill that could save your life, and get in great shape. With all of the different classes and instructors you are bound to find at least one that works well for you.

Fantastic experience: The place to go if you want Rocky Balboa vibes and superb trainers. Very easy to learn here because they give you a quick run down on how to box, if you want to make some serious boxing gains, this is where it will happen!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with a very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They will absolutely push you and up your game in any system you practice.

Fantastic experience: A great environment with very knowledgeable staff. They are also very responsive in making the schedule and offer a variety of martial arts. It's got a really nice community feel. They also are great if you are trying to get some tournament experience

Fantastic experience: Absolutely cannot recommend this place enough! It’s a work out that leaves you wanting more than just the hour! The truly amazing trainers will take you from a beginner to feeling like or becoming a competitor. The trainers also foster an environment that is truly welcoming for all! Everyone I’ve ever encountered at the gym (trainer and trainee alike) has been nothing but kind and willingly to share their knowledge. As a woman, I’ve truly appreciated coming into boxing (a “man’s” sport) with nothing but a welcoming atmosphere. If that’s something you’re apprehensive about, fear not! There are a bunch of kick a** women and men here!

Fantastic experience: Amazing! I've gone to the boxing morning class. Great 1-1 attention, get the heart rate up with those burpees/ladder/jump rope and learn new skills with mitts and partner work. Have any interest (or already hooked) on boxing - this is the perfect spot for anyone of any skill level.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to combat for a little over a year with my 8 year old daughter . The gym is encouraging, positive, and a great learning environment for anybody who wants to get healthier and learn a martial art. The coaches are all supportive and are always willing to help in whatever way they can.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym. Great place for beginners to learn and experts to get better. The coaches are great. They work you hard and really help you improve. I recommend this to anyone who wants to learn how to box/any of the other offered classes, or to anyone who just wants to get a great exercise for the day. Great community, great gym.

Fantastic experience: Great place! Friendly environment. Professional coaches. Always wanted to box but never had time. Now I'm doing it and I absolutely love it!

Fantastic experience: My first boxing experience was great!! Highly recommend for all levels of experience. I’m excited to try all the other classes.

Fantastic experience: I tried the Boxing Conditioning class as my first experience. It began with calisthenic movements to warmup and then progressed into basic boxing fundamentals which included working with a partner. Anthony (owner and boxing coach) did a great job acknowledging the diverse group of people. He set me up with a more experienced classmate to teach me the “basics,” which included things like proper footing, hand positioning and how to strike or defend. There’s a lot of technique and information to comprehend but I didn’t feel overwhelmed. It’s clear this is the kind of thing you just have to keep at to become good. Personally, I like that. I’ll be coming back for sure. I should note that there’s a strength area in the gym with squat racks, cables, benches, etc. It was important to me to still have access to those amenities. There’s a bathroom, some lockers and plenty of benches to gear up on. No shower, a small inconvenience but not a deal breaker for me.

Fantastic experience: Great classes and an inclusive atmosphere. The instructors have all competed in their respective practices, so every drill has practical applications. Beginners learn a great foundation. More advanced students get worthwhile feedback and have a bit more liberty to perfect their craft. The community is terrific and there is time to meet and practice outside of the class setting. Everyone is welcome and challenged at their level. Anthony is a fantastic boxing instructor. I primarily attended his classes, but have also dabbled in grappling, kickboxing, and MMA classes. I have been attending classes here semi regularly for the past 3 years and have approximately 0 complaints.

Fantastic experience: I joined 5 years ago and never left. Whatever your motivation is (weight loss, stress relief, martial arts, etc) this is the place. Supportive and accepting environment with caring instructors.

Fantastic experience: Came here to learn how to box, left two years later completely satisfied! Strong focus on technique over cardio, although a good cardio workout will certainly be attained. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the area.
