I have been training here for a year now, and Im so grateful that I went through with signing up. Area 502 has improved my life in so many ways. I was fighting a depression spell with no motivation to do anything and steadily gaining weight from a stressful, sedentary office job, but after a couple of months of regular attendance I already noticed a change in my mood and physique. Here a year later, I lost 16 pounds, am in the best shape of my life at age 27 and am happier and more confident than ever. I had tried other fitness regimens before, but nothing ever stuck for long because I didnt enjoy it. Now I look forward to working out and do not see it as a chore. This gym stands out from others because of the centralized location, competitive pricing, professional and supportive coaches, and our impressive fight records- easily the best gym in Louisville and probably the state. If youre thinking about checking it out, do it!! First class is free!

To be honest I wasnt sure at first coming from a beginners stand point. I have been at this gym for almost 3 months, its amazing how far Ive come. The coaches work with you hold mitts for them if needed, always willing to help out during any class. As a result my ground and stand up game has made a lot of progress, currently thinking about a jujitsu tournament in the near future. My peers at the gym are awesome too everyone respects everybody. Everyone there will push you to do your best so you will be able to make progress you need to succeed in the sport and/or as in a individual. We even have a Facebook page and build relationships with one another. Im glad area 502 has token me in and Im glad to be apart of it. Just show up and the coaches will help you make your goals happen.

Being an older guy then most that start out at 39, I wasnt sure how I would be received. Or to be honest if it was a good idea. 2 months in and Im already in much better shape mentally and physically. Ive lost 10 lbs and have a basic knowledge of beginner bjj and boxing and I absolutely love it. The coaches are excellent, willing to work with you no matter your level of previous training. There are no attitudes only people looking to work hard and get better. My advice to anyone at any age that loves watching fighting of any kind. Stop watching and start doing it at 502 mma. You wont regret it.

Area502 is the best gym! Regardless whether youre just wanting to get in shape or are training for a competition/fight, their coed classes are perfect for all experience levels. They even offer kids classes! My wife and son also attend 502, and we are so grateful to have found a place that made us feel welcomed from the moment we stepped through the door. Since then, we feel better physically, mentally, and have more confidence than ever before. The 502 staff is very knowledgable and sticks with you to achieve your goals. I highly recommend 502 for your family too!

Best gym in probably the state. I went to a really good gym in Frankfort and Area 502 beats it just because of the comradary and the instructors are top notch and have been doing this pretty much their whole lives. If you want to fight in the cage or just learn how to properly defend yourself then Area 502 is the gym to go to. I wont be surprised if a few UFC fighters end up coming out of Area 502. I know one guy there that is undefeated in his amatuer career as well as his professional.

Ive been pretty much apart of Area502 from the beginning. Ive seen the gym grow from a little room in the back of a gym to one of the premier places in Louisville for people to train. Whether you want to be a fighter, get in shape, learn to protect yourself, or have a setting where your children can become more disciplined and confident through martial arts. Area502 is the kind of place that can offer it.

I had the privilege to practice at this gym during my cross-country MMA tour five months ago. My immediate review was "If you want to be a fighter this place will make you one. If you are a fighter this place will feel like home." To this day the fighters I met there still inspire me to train harder and be better every single day. I cannot recommend this gym highly enough.

Awesome facilities, awesome trainers, awesome members! You cant get any better than that in the 502! HUGE space, kept very clean! Definitely send your kids here for their awesome childrens program. its a great way for them to learn discipline, respect (for self and others), and self defense. This is the #1 MMA gym in Louisville, the fighters records speak for themselves!

never have I entered a gym with so many different types of people, and so many different skill leaves ranging from MMA professionals to individuals who want fitness and health. We all come together as a family, there is not one ego in the gym. Owner and head coach Phil Perkins has defiantly created a second family to me. And Ill always be apart of 502.

Hands down the best gym Ive ever been to. An abundance of space to work out and learn combined with coaches with world class lineage has helped me better myself in every facet of my life. The best training partners the city of Louisville has to offer. Some of the best fighters in the state, soon to be the world!

Great instructors. Great students. Area 502 makes everyone feel welcome, from seasoned professional fighters to people who have never trained before. Ive traveled from Cincinnati several times to train at 502 and would recommend everyone give them a try. You wont be disappointed!

Only been putting in work here about a month, if that, and already feel like part of a family.. the coaches are very knowledgeable, and even the people who train here can help you learn a thing or two..theres a sense of camaraderie with this place. 100% legit.

This is an amazing place to learn new and exciting skills. I originally went in because I just wanted something to do and instantly fell in love with it, from the instructors and atmosphere to the different styles that are available to learn. Great place!!!

I joined Area502mma back in May to get back in shape. I went to class about 4 times a week and in 6 weeks I lost 19 pounds. I enjoyed the gym so much Ive referred as many people as possible and highly recommend it to anyone!
