The Academy MN

Super welcoming. They let me pop in while I was visiting and I immediately felt good vibes. Coaches are awesome and Muay Thai classes are definitely Muay Thai classes. You get worked hard if you want to work hard. Matt is cool too

I went to one of their beginner-oriented BJJ classes, and the experience was outstanding: great teaching, great practical drills, and it was fun to learn with the other students. Highly recommend for anyone looking to start their BJJ journey

If you’re looking for the gym with the best coaches, best classes, best facility, best community, then The Academy MN is the right gym for you. I've trained at a variety of martial arts gyms in Minnesota and absolutely no gym will top The Academy MN. One thing that separates The Academy MN from other gyms is how qualified the coaches are and how the gym has a background of professional athletes which proves its reliability and credibility. Another thing that sets this place apart from other gyms is how the classes are scheduled. There’s many classes with different qualified instructors just about every convenient time of the day! In my experience, I’ve seen no other gym with this amount of effort to appease to their gym members’ needs when it comes to convenient class times throughout the day. Coaches and classes aside, the facility is top notch. There is plenty of mat space topped with a gym as well. The gym has everything you need to get stronger along with everything you need to get your cardio in! Finally, the community. The Academy MN is home to the best martial arts community in the state of Minnesota! Coaches and members are always willing to work with you and help out! You will definitely meet new people just about every single day that are all willing to train and have a good time! Best coaches, best classes, best facility, best community. 10/10.

I've been going to The Academy for almost 10 years now! I would still be there but I have opened a Muay Thai/kickboxing gym in another country. This is by far the best Martial arts gym I've been too! I'm a bit biased because they have such a strong community that I was a part of. Even today being a world away, the coaches still keep in contact with me. It doesn't matter if you are going for fitness, Martial arts and/or to be a fighter. You will learn proper technique from world class coaches! They are very supportive in whatever path you choose. The biggest reason I felt it was necessary to open my own martial arts gym, was to bring this community to other people. It's not easy to recreate what the academy has. They are definitely very special. Thanks for the years of training and teachings I could not have done this without all I learned at The Academy. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I had the chance to train a nogi class here today, and I loved the place, the environment, the facility is super clean and confortable! you have a lot of different options in their schedule! and they have worked with many pro athletes! I had a great experience and recommend the place for sure! Also the level of the girls that train there is very good, bjj competitors with a lot of experience.
