Great cardio, awesome strength, discipline, and incredible flexibility and movement. If you’re looking for a workout that transforms you both inside and out then Arena is the right choice for you.

Need some convincing? Here’s our top reasons to giveit a try:

1. Arena training teaches basic principles of self-defence skills, which builds confidence and self-assurance.

Arena Fitness classes build confidence and strength. Knowing self-defence techniques will definitely give you a boost in your morale. Self-defence is a valuable life skill that is incredibly empowering. When you know how to defend yourself, you get self-assurance and confidence to take on any challenge that life may throw your way.

2. Arena training builds total body strength, reduces body fat and gets fighters in tip-top shape.

MMA-based workouts like Arena Fitness classes are fat-blasters because high intensity interval training burns body fat for up to 18 hours after the workout is done. Arena Fitness classes take different fighting disciplines — boxing, Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling— and combines them into an unpredictable combat system that gets you into the best shape of your life. No part of your body will be neglected during a workout, meaning you’ll be stronger across the board. Cross-training is effective because it engages muscles that you never even knew you had and prevents any weaknesses from appearing.

3. Arena training teaches discipline.

This type of training teaches its practitioners to grow both physically and mentally in a non-combat environment. MMA fighters are very balanced and disciplined people with a great philosophy towards life. That’s because MMA teaches discipline of the body and mind. You’ll learn how to eat right, sleep right, and train right. Even though Arena Fitness classes won't be teaching hand-to-hand combat, you'll still be practicing with well-grounded technique to build a disciplined mindset.

4. Arena training helps to release stress.

Everyone accumulates stress from everyday life and any hard cardio combined with new skill development (and hitting a punching bag!) will be an excellent way to blow off some steam. Mentally, you’ll learn how to have emotional control in stressful situations, which will help you become more calm and level-headed in real life situations as well.

5. Arena training makes you part of a close-knit community.

At Arena our members are part of a close knit community where everyone knows each other’s name. Small group training creates bonds with other fighters and you’ll find real team spirit here that’s difficult to find in a regular gym. Another plus: training in small groups improves your performance because your mates will hold you accountable for the sessions you’ve missed!
