North Jax CrossFit - Personal Training and Group Training Gym in Jacksonville Florida

This gym is the best! I started MMA Self Defense a few months ago. I was excited and timid at first not knowing what I was going to be doing. Since I started, I cannot get enough of it! The people are amazing! Some have been there for years and others are newer like me. However, that does not seem to matter. With a mix of ages and belt ranks, everyone is there to support and grow. The coaches are very knowledgeable and only want to share their passion of the sport with you. Classes are for both men and women from young adult to retirees! Classes are skill and combo oriented in defensive and attack moves from a martial arts mix of kickboxing and Jiu-Jitsu. It is not just following an instructor at the front of the room. As many of us, I have my own health challenges as well as others in the class. That is more reason to do it! It is a safe and controlled environment. I have gotten stronger, more flexible, and it has helped my memory and cognitive health as well! I love this program so much because it has given me a safe place to learn something new, challenge myself, and commit to my overall wellness. I highly recommend the MMA Self Defense Class at North Jax CrossFit.

I began the JYD self-defense program at North Jax Fitness four years ago. The program uses mixed martial arts (MMA), like Kickboxing and Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) just to name a few, in order to give you the best chance of defending yourself if the need ever arises while teaching strategies to help you avoid dangerous situations in the first place. There is a belt system in place for the members to advance as they learn techniques, drills, combos, and grab escapes that are invaluable to self-defense. All of this is done in a welcoming, safe environment. The trainers are knowledgeable and always ready to help the members with whatever they need in order to be successful. The members are friendly and supportive. After seeing how much the JYD program has helped me in countless ways, my husband and daughter have joined as well. Not only have I learned important skills for self protection, I have developed a confidence in myself that is priceless. Do yourself a favor and check them out! I am forever grateful that I did all those years ago.

As a person on the heavier side walking into any gym especially a CrossFit gym can be extremely intimidating. That thought process kept me away from taking care of myself for a very long time. From the moment I sat down to chat with Billy I knew I was in the right place. My weight has never been a limitation in any class or to any coach EVER! Not only has NorthJax helped me to become physically stronger, but emotionally and mentally as well. I can not thank the coaches enough for believing in me and for pushing me to believe in myself. If you are looking for a place to truly change your life NorthJax is definitely it!
