My Success Story & Testimonial:

Joining New World gym was one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself. As a busy mom and working professional, I needed a place where I could focus on me—somewhere I could get stronger, learn new skills, and improve my confidence. This gym was exactly what I was looking for.

From day one, I felt welcomed by the coaches and community here. The space is always clean, and the energy is unbeatable. The coaches are truly incredible; they guide you at every step, whether you’re a complete beginner or working your way up to advanced levels. They helped me push my physical limits and discover strength I never knew I had.

Since training here, I feel fitter, faster, and ready to take on challenges both inside and outside the gym. I have an improved sense of self-esteem, confidence, and, most importantly, the ability to protect myself and my loved ones if the need ever arises. And beyond the training, the community is full of genuinely supportive and cool people who make every session enjoyable.

If you’re hesitating, remember: Strength doesn’t come from what you can do; it comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t. I’m endlessly grateful for the coaches here at New World who believed in me and helped me believe in myself. Thank you! -C.K.

Excellent place to learn a variety of skills. Great atmosphere, very clean , and even some gym equipment. Plenty of coaches so the pace changes a bit every class. Pricing is reasonable, but value is in how often you go .

All the coaches are super nice and helpful and keep me accountable. I always learn something new and enjoy trying the different classes. It gets your foot in the door for martial arts and coached exercise, and it’s great to meet other people too.

This was my first time trying any martial arts activities and my experience so far has been amazing! I am not a naturally active person but my time with New World is an exception. I absolutely love all the classes offered. The environment is extremely welcoming and the coaches do a great job at teaching people from all levels. I feel so good going to the classes and it has helped me build a lot of confidence in my ability to defend myself and feel happy with my progress.

If you have any doubts my advice is to go for it, it will definitely be worth it for your physical and mental health!

My family and I have been training at this gym for nearly three years now. It is a great gym, with diverse training options: Boxing, BJJ, Krav Maga, Kettlebell Sport, Crossfit, etc. The owners, Juan & his wife Alexis are constantly working to make the gym the best it can be. They care about each of their members like family. This gym is literally their life. They take pride in selecting and training excellent coaches & trainers for their programs. Coaches conduct themselves professionally, provide an atmosphere of acceptance, and are great resources for information to supplement or support your goals. Unlike other gyms that can have an atmosphere that is uncomfortable, cliquish, or overly competitive, New World really does offer a different feeling. If you are looking for a top notch fitness facility that offers a wide variety of training options alongside others who are friendly, motivated and committed to their goals, New World is the place for you.
