Sorry if this is long-winded but this place really is special. Not because of the expertise alone but mainly because of the people. I have played nearly every sport at various levels. Along the way you get a feel for what kind of community you are walking into. The minute I stepped in the room (having no prior martial arts experience) I felt welcomed and encouraged. It's a unique family of people that are all there to better themselves and there are very few people at Glory that I couldn't point out as being amazingly humble. Specifically, Paul and Garrett stand out in that category for me. I have no clue how far I would take martial arts or MMA but just getting to know these guys as friends is well worth the investment. If you are thinking of joining just give it a try and you won't ever look back. Thanks Glory!
Our son has been in the MMA and Jiu Jitsu programs at Glory for nearly a year now. My husband and I believe the instruction is top notch and in no other sport or program have we heard such an emphasis on Respect, Doing your best day in and day out and hustle. Our 6 year old can watch matches on TV or at Glory and identify what one is doing right or wrong and what will help them win their match.
What an awesome gym! One of the best places to train in the KC area. I highly recommend Glory MMA & Fitness to anyone who's looking to get in shape, or to anyone who wants to learn MMA and/or BJJ, or Wrestling. Glory also has some of the best trainers/coaches around! Check them out today!
I have been going to Glory since Jan 2015 and I have thoroughly enjoyed the GloryFit class they offer. The staff and other gym members are incredibly friendly. There are many people there with different end goals and the staff takes the time to learn what your goals are and how they can help you get there. I'm your stereotypical 8-5 cube farmer with a mostly sedentary lifestyle. Five months into my membership (and paying better attention to my diet) I'm down to 173lbs from 200lbs and chasing my kids around is a breeze. Try out the free class! Send me a message and I'll be more than happy to go with you
I've been a member for a few months now, and it has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. Glory MMA & Fitness has a great staff that is very welcoming, and that's SUPER important for someone like myself who hasn't done this sort of thing before and was out of shape. I'm still not in great shape, but I've made serious improvements and I've also been able to make good gains to my mental health, which is my #1 goal.
This place is definitely the REAL deal. The instructors are amazing and really care for us. I highly recommend Glory! There's a well rounded group of people who attend it and so many excellent classes. This will be my home gym for life. Very very impressive!
We've trained at Glory numerous times since 2013. This gym is amazing and the instruction is top notch. Would definitely recommend anyone in the KC area check out their classes and excellent facility.
Great program and instructors! My 11 year old son has been doing the mma program for a year now and loves it.
Everyone there is super nice and there are so many ways to get in shape when you walk in.
Top notch facility, great coaches and fighters here! Can’t wait to come back. Best gym in the Midwest!
Grandson goes here & staff is great
Amazing environment for kids and adults to learn martial arts! All instructors are not only highly qualified, but also great people that you can be proud your kids look up to. No matter what your goal is Glory is the place to be to achieve it!
The Kansas City area has an excellent MMA scene and great gyms. But Glory is the best in my humble opinion. You may search but you will not find a better MMA gym. The people showing you what to do are premier level athletes. Something rarely mentioned in reviews is cleanliness. Some places will give you the funk. Glory will not. The cleanest gym I have ever stepped foot in.
I've always heard about Glory MMA through James Krause on Twitter & when fighters from there would appear on UFC tv. I walked in expecting to only meet Megan Anderson because of her Invicta FC fight coming up this week to show my support & ran into James Krause sitting down at front desk too. Everyone was super friendly & understanding of what goals I want to set there. The monthly fee was a bit pricey for me but James told me that he works with people to keep it affordable which I liked. James took me on a quick tour...I took a picture with James & Megan...grabbed a Glory shirt/compression shorts & left there happy man. James even offered some classes for me to attend & observe...I will take him up on that offer soon. Thanks for the warm hospitality.
After numerous times of going back and forth and trying to find the right gym, I walked in to one of the most welcoming environments I have ever encountered in my life. I have been a member of this gym since May, 2015 and my only regret is that I didn't join up even sooner. Admittedly, I was intimated by the gym in general and being in an environment with professional fighters but everyone has been welcoming and willing to help you along. My experience has been nothing but positive. I started out just doing the GloryFit classes and I have transitioned to training in MMA. While, I was AGAIN, intimidated by doing that kind of training, I continue to be amazed at how great the environment is. Even when sparring, I'll get coaching and advice from everyone on how to be even better the next round. I would encourage anyone to give this gym a look. You won't regret that decision.
5 stars isn't enough for this place....The staff who are all fighters genuinely care about improving the technique that you have or lack thereof. They will make sure you know exactly what you're doing and are doing it right. It's great that this place has many pro fighters in different MMA promotions. I've known James for years and finally decided to join up! I've not regretted it since!
Hands down the best MMA gym in Missouri. The people you meet here are role modles, coaches, teammates, competitors and friends. I have personally fought out of this gym and if i could still do it i wouldn't go anywhere else in the world...real talk, if you or anyone you know is looking for a great gym to better yourself, you've found it!
Amazing culture and atmosphere. One of the best gyms I've ever trained at. High level coaching and top level athletes. I wouldn't want to train anywhere else.
