Training Intensity:
MMA Gym: MMA sessions offer an intense workout that combines aerobic and anaerobic exercise. You can burn up to 1,000 calories per hour during MMA training, which is very effective for weight loss and fat burning.
Gym: Weightlifting and using fitness equipment are beneficial, but they usually burn fewer calories compared to MMA. If your goal is to lose weight, MMA training is the best choice.
Fun Factor:
MMA Gym: There is never a dull moment in our MMA classes. Each session is unique and includes different techniques, warm-ups and exercises. Unpredictable conditions increase focus and excitement for the next workout.
Gym: Training in a traditional gym can become monotonous over time, especially if you do the same exercises over and over again.
Full-body workout:
MMA Gym: MMA offers a full-body workout by incorporating different fighting styles such as Muay Thai, kickboxing, boxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It targets core and functional strength.
Gyms: Gyms offer a wide variety of equipment, but they don’t train all muscle groups as comprehensively as MMA.
More Confidence:
MMA Gyms: Learning self-defense and improving in martial arts increases your confidence. Knowing you can defend yourself increases your confidence.
Gym: Achieving fitness goals also increases your confidence, but MMA adds a practical dimension.
Built-in Support System:
MMA Gyms: The camaraderie of an MMA gym creates a supportive environment. Stay in touch with classmates, trainers, and sparring partners.
Gym: Some gyms offer group classes, but the social aspect is not as strong.
Improve problem-solving skills:
MMA gym: Martial arts demands strategic thinking, adaptability, and quick decision-making—skills that go beyond the mat.
Gym: Although problem-solving isn’t a priority, a similar mental process is required to overcome training plateaus. More savings:
Traditional Gym: In a traditional gym, you train and then go home. While you train, you have to be knowledgeable on your own on how to train and push yourself.
If you can’t do that, you can hire a personal trainer, but that will cost you more.
MMA Gym: When you join an MMA gym, you get a lot of knowledge from some of the best people you’ll ever meet.
