Fight and Fitness MMA is my release from stress, work, kids, etc. I can go for an hour and have a great workout with great people, or I can stay for back-to-back classes and really get an intense training session! I lost a lot of weight and am getting toned, and I love it because it feels more fun than an actual boring workout like at a regular gym. Plus I’m learning real life skills. Classes are challenging and I learn something new every day. Everyone is super-friendly and helpful. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and go out of their way to help everyone. They know how to motivate! I love head instructor Walter Kimmel, he is very hands-on, giving lots of personal attention to each student, and is eager to see all students reach their potential. The personal approach and family feel is what separates this gym from others, and Fight and Fitness MMA is about creating an awesome training environment and not all about money. I enjoy the family atmosphere and knowing that my children are also in good hands when they train with me or are waiting in the comfortable lounge or children’s play area. I’ve done the Muay Thai, BJJ, Fitness Kickboxing, and MMA in Garwood NJ, but it is nice to know we are also part of a worldwide network with Roufusport and Equipe Jucao and that I can visit world class gyms all around the country and world. I could go on forever, but just come see for yourself all the wonderful and positive effects Fight and Fitness MMA will have on your life! This is a great place for entire families, men, women, and children.

Class ambiance is great! Students are friendly and will help you while training. I have seen the classes for little ones (as young as 4 years old) and the kids have impressive technique! BJJ and Muay Thai at Fight and Fitness MMA in Garwood is good for all ages and at a great price. I learned a lot even on my first day, and I haven’t stopped learning since. Before having a trial class here I had a trial class at another school. It did not compare to my experience at Fight and Fitness MMA at all. The other school just put gloves on me and had me throw punches. At Fight and Fitness MMA Walt asked me to throw a punch and instructed me how to do it correctly. The BJJ is great too! I suffered a herniated bulging disk before I started here and I can definitely say the exercises and stretches have helped my lower back post recovery. If you are looking to get a great workout and great instruction then look no further. Walt and the other instructors are all patient and help every student in detail. I had no hesitation at all and decided to make this a long-term life changing commitment! Dont just take my word for it, just look at the other reviews (all 5 stars)... and try it yourself!

I started going to Fight and Fitness MMA to just try out their Muay Thai class on the last week of 2015 just to try it and see what it was like. It is now October of 2016 and I am so glad that I went and stepped through the door there. Walter has been a fantastic instructor and takes his time to help bring out the best in all of his students. I had played football from the time I was eight all the way through my Junior year of high school. Coming here and doing this has been alot harder and more satisfying then anything I did playing football. If anyone is on the fence about coming and trying dont be just walk through the door and see for yourself. I have met plenty of great people here and I am so glad that this is where I train. Not only have I seen how Walter works with adults he is just as good in the instruction of children as well. I have gotten there early to my class and just observed how he also works just as hard to teach his classes for kids and is always encouraging and positive.

Fight and Fitness MMA has become my second home!!! I felt welcomed the instant I walked through the door. Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can be quite intimidating for a newcomer like myself but everyone here made me feel super comfortable. I really felt there was a genuine effort from everyone to want to help each other. Above all, Walt is an amazing instructor and has had years of experience in MMA. I really admire that he takes the time to make sure everyone learns the proper technique and motivates everyone in the class to be the best they can be. Although, I love the Muay Thai here, BJJ has my heart. Garwoods Fight and Fitness MMA s BJJ classes are the best. Fight and Fitness has helped me get in better shape, be more confident, make amazing friends and has allowed me to do things I never thought I could.

My sister loves training at Fight and Fitness MMA in Garwood, and she talked me into trying a free class. She told me there were a lot of other women, but I was still nervous. I never thought I could start MMA at my age (over 40) mother of two little kids and out of shape. Well I was wrong! Now Ive done MMA, Muay Thai, Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. All classes are motivating and lots of fun. I lost over 15 pounds in a few weeks. Training with Walter Kimmel has made my life happier and healthier. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Fight and Fitness MMA to anyone in NJ or Union County that wants to learn self-defense or just to get in awesome shape. This was probably the best thing I ever done for myself. Great for Kids too!

Fight and Fitness MMA is one of the best in the greater New Jersey Areas. I am a 50yr old woman trying to loose weight and strengthen and tone my body. And succeeding under the direction of Walter. I have been working with Walter the Trainer and Owner since the beginning of November. Walter is all hands on. Making sure his students either young or older are doing the classes correctly. If the student is having trouble with something hes right there to help. He is right there to praise when doing it right .Extremely clean fitness center. A Parents room to hang and watch and wait for the student with stuff for the little kids to play with. I will never train anywhere else. Thanks Walter for pushing me to go further than I thought I couldnt handle.

Training here is easily the best decision I have made all summer. Walt is an incredibly skilled fighter and instructor. With a bit of time and hard work I saw amazing results in my muay thai skills. Every class Id walk away with something new. This gym is very welcoming to all levels of experience. Members are extremely encouraging and also very constructive. Very good environment, lots of positive energy and fantastic instruction. Sparing here is very controlled focusing on technique rather damage. The gym/mats are kept very clean. I absolutely recommend this gym for anyone who wants to get in shape, learn self defense, alleviate stress or even eventually compete. Great place, great people, great instructor.

My family trains MMA back home in Argentina. I moved to Westfield and tried a free class at Fight and Fitness MMA in Garwood NJ. I fell in love with it immediately, and was surprised to see such a high level of instruction, along with so many other women and everyone was having fun. Even the men are nice and helpful. The classes are energetic and a great workout for Kickboxing, MMA, Muay Thai, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I do them all and I lost weight and am learning practical self-defense skills. Walter Kimmel is the head instructor and knows how to keep classes exciting. Training here is a like a big family and now I have new friends too. Awesome training for advanced or beginners :)
