This is an amazing gym with not only top class martial arts instructors but trainers as well. Not only have I grown as a martial artist in my time at AFS but I have grown as an athlete. The trainers there have helped me with my running, lifting, yoga, etc.. on top of the martial arts classes I take. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for high quality training in a variety of fields.

I trust the staff with my sons physical development and well being. They provide a high level of instruction in real martial arts. My son has thrived at this school and is a winning competitor across the state and region.

All of the instructors are great, they really know how to teach for technique and also real world application which is really important to me. The classes are great and the instruction is amazing. They know how to really tap into your skill level and get just a little more out of you that you didnt think you had. Great place , great people and great experiences training there.

Scott Elliott has a wealth of knowledge and experience. He genuinely wants each individual to grow and succeed in the martial arts journey and will motivate you to do so. He has mentored his student, Adam Fritz, into a highly skilled youth instructor. Adult and youth training is of quality.

You will find few IF any gyms as welcoming to all, instructors knowledgeable in their areas, & everyone eager to assist you in meeting your goals and growing. Scott & Gina have built not just a gym, but a family environment.

Review №17

I agree with others reviewers, great instructors, friendly but tough, good vibe…but its dirty, dusty chain link fence, cobwebs in trophies, nasty carpet. Need to redo front area altogether, more benches for athletes and parents to sit, new carpet or flooring, better cubby holes without poky screws.

This is a great gym with great instructors at every level. These instructors are highly skilled and certified in the respective arts they are teaching. This is the only accredited 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu school in Kentucky. If you are a fighter with aspirations of making it to the highest levels, then this is the gym for you. If you work a 9 to 5 and want to get in shape as well as learning several fighting skills, this is the gym for you. I highly recommend AFS Academy for all of your Martial Arts and fitness needs.

I have been a consistent member at this gym for over four and a half years. Throughout that time I have grown in more ways than one from the experiences and teachings I have gained while being a member. I started coming to the gym only having a karate background but despite the differing art styles I was able to learn at AFS and grow into an even better martial arts practitioner. I never felt pressured to do things I wasnt ready for but at the same time everyone was always welcoming, supportive, friendly, and encouraging; everyone was always willing to help me grow. That support has helped me both inside and outside of the gym. The respect, discipline, and confidence Ive gained from training and training properly at AFS has carried into every aspect of my life: work, school, family, friends, etc... The staff and instructors at the gym genuinely care about each and every member that walks through the doors, regardless of whether they are training for fun, because their spouse is, to better their fitness, or to be a fighter. Additionally, the instructors have all devoted their lives and time to the arts / fitness areas they are teaching whether it is DDP yoga, MMA bootcamps, jiu jitsu, Muay Thai, wrestling, etc... They have studied what they are teaching, researched what they are teaching, and practiced what they are teaching - this gym truly is the best location in the area to come and train at because you never have to doubt the quality or validity of what you are being taught, whether it is a martial art, yoga, personal training, diet and nutrition advice, youth programs, etc... If it does not work or if it is not practical, we do not learn it. All experience levels are welcome and all experience levels come to classes – if you are a beginner you will never feel alone or out of place because someone will be there to help you. Over the years I have made many many friends as a result of being a member at this gym but even more than that I have gained another family that is always there for me, something I could not have gained if I had gone elsewhere to train. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants to learn or improve their lifestyle. Whether it is for self-defense, fitness, weight loss, getting balance and structure back in your life, gaining a team that supports you, wanting to learn real, practical, and proven martial arts, or eventually wanting to be a fighter, this gym is the place to be. The gym is family friendly, supportive, open, and encouraging. The only thing stopping you from coming in and checking it out is you, but once you do – whether it is for fitness and personal gains or gaining martial arts knowledge – you will not regret it.

I love this gym! I have been a member for around a year and a half. I have taken the MMA Fitness Bootcamp, Womens Only Jiu-jitsu, 10th Planet Jiu-jitsu, DDP Yoga and I am a personal training client. In my time at AFS I have lost over 70 pounds and become stronger and healthier. Having been a person who has struggled with weight issues, I never thought Id be this physically fit ever again. I love my new life style and my gym. I wouldnt have had this much success without the amazing skills and knowledge of my coaches and personal trainer.
