“Dropped in to this gem of a gym from California. The team here was extremely friendly, informative and inviting. I had no problem plugging right in with the team. The training was very thorough. From start to finish coach Steven was involved with everyone checking technique, giving instructions, pushing us with encouragement. I noticed he was very involved with the entire class. From phone call to the completion of training American Top Team KC is a great team of individuals, if I lived in KC I’d need to look no further. Thank you for your hospitality and an exceptional experience, Gracias!”

“Staff are simply amazing. You're guaranteed to sweat a bunch, hurt, but afterwards feel like you've not only gotten a great workout in, but also learned a thing or 2. Seems more like a giant family than a mma gym.”
Bill P.
