  • Muay Thai, "The Art of Eight Limbs," at Spartan Fitness MMA- Birmingham, AL

    At Spartan Fitness MMA Birmingham, AL we encourage a well-rounded mixed martial arts practice, which includes Muay Thai kickboxing, Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Wrestling.

  • 5 Important Strength Training Exercises for Mixed Martial Arts

    At Spartan Fitness MMA Birmingham, AL we strive to be well-rounded mixed martial artists, which not only includes our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai kickboxing training, but Strength and Conditioning as well. One of the key aspects of martial arts is the prioritization of skill over strength. Someone who is smaller and weaker than their opponent can control the fight so long as they possess sufficient knowledge and technique. That is not to say that strength and athleticism are to be ignored by any martial artist. Anyone who has been training for a while knows the feeling of partnering up with someone who looks like a professional athlete. Your skill and experience may greatly ....

I have struggled with weight for years and to finally lose 100 lbs. feels awesome and I couldn’t have done it without the support of Spartan Fitness. I am so thankful and I truly appreciate the support I feel every day I step into your gym.

Ryan Fredrick

Great place to go whether you're interested in competition or just getting in great shape. Good atmosphere for training and meeting new people and great coaching as well. Regardless of your level of talent or fitness, you will be encouraged to improve and results are guaranteed as long as you dedicate the time and stay consistent.

Spartan Fitness has been home to my family for over 6 years. They are phenomenal people that truly care about their clients. All of the coaches are very knowledgeable in everything they teach. I love to take the strength and conditioning classes. Coach Omar takes the time to explain each exercise so you know exactly what you are working and how to do it properly. The one thing I like the most is that every class is different and you work our your full body! You'll always feel great about the workout and Coach Omar is super fun to take class with! The atmosphere is always great and we have an awesome time!
