From the coaching staff to the curriculum to the amenities, Driven Gym has been a second home for me. I would not be the person I am now without the guidance of both James, Spyda, and the Driven Gym Family. Can’t wait to see how far we’ll go and excited for the journey!

Driven Gym stands in a class of its own. At this gym you will meet nothing but respectful, hard working individuals from the staff to the members. James and Spyda have created an atmosphere in the gym for ALL experience levels. Whether your a beginner or a seasoned fighter, the staff at Driven gym are more than capable of helping you improve. From my experience, even other members of the gym will go out of their way to help you. Plain and simple if your someone whose interested don’t hesitate. It’s absolutely worth it!

Coach meals is a phenomenal coach. Truly cares about all his students, from his fighters to the most casual members. Extremely knowledgeable man with a heart of gold.

Coach Meals made sure he walked around to whoever needed more attention to make sure everyone was getting the correct technique down from fighters to beginners. Coach Meals and Spyder encourage technique over speed and strength as those things come with learning technique. They have a strong commitment to teaching Muay Thai and MMA correctly.

James doesn’t just teach you how to fight, he teaches you about life. There aren’t many men like him left. I’ve only worked with him a few times, but he taught me lessons that he didn’t even know he was teaching. LET GO LET GOD

I've been training Muay Thai at Driven Gym for over a decade and it has certainly been (and continues to be) a life-changing experience. The trainers are understanding and accommodating to all levels of martial artist and/or athlete. Driven offers authentic Muay Thai training as well as impressive MMA, BJJ and Boxing programs.

Driven gym and it’s coaches are the definition of success. The knowledge they push out goes beyond training and can be used for real life applications as well. They inspire everyone to be the best version of themselves and I couldn’t be more grateful. The Love and loyalty shown by them is not comparable along with friendships gained as well. Thank you driven Gym, you guys are the absolute best!!!!!

My daughter attends the children’s Muay Thai program here at Driven gym. She loves it! The classes are managed well and each kid gets the attention they need. They are encouraging and skilled to help these children become the best they can be. Can’t wait to continue her training and my 3 yr old is patiently waiting for her turn to get on the mat!
