Elevation Martial Arts & Training Centre

Fantastic experience: Im 54 and it definitely helps me get that cardio in and pushes me to sweat. Better than a gym by far ,keeps me moving and go at my own pace ,the trainers are excellent, very friendly and professional. I have been and seen other types of training but Elevation surpasses them by far. So if your my age and want to keep moving ,stay alive this exercise is for you. If you want to go further and enter competitions etc. They will get you ready, they hold numerous belts and championships, this training is also great for your kids or teens ,keep them off the phones and video games and create discipline and self confidence not to mention they will be able to protect themselves when that time calls. Overall I highly recommend Elevation it's a family and i will continue to Elevate myself. You can't put a price on your health movement is everything.

Fantastic experience: Great place for kids, friendly staff, and coaches .. felxiable and reasonable policy.. thank you so much elevation for developing my son skills

Fantastic experience: My kid loves kickboxing classes here. Always excited to go to a Saturday class.

Fantastic experience: We love the Elevation fam! Both of my children have been attending Elevation over the last 2 years and we have seen tremendous growth in their confidence. The training centre is clean and organized. Front staff are welcoming and knowledgeable. The coaches are fantastic and very motivating.

Fantastic experience: Coaches are amazing. Such a safe and clean environment.

Fantastic experience: The work done at Elevation is truly inspiring. Their coaches instill confidence, resilience and discipline in their students, within a safe and supportive family atmosphere. All of the staff display the utmost professionalism and all students are treated with respect and care. Elevation builds champions who succeed in the ring and beyond.

Fantastic experience: Both of my kids have been coming for years. Great coaches, good mentality of trying hard and being positive. I have also been going for a while now too, nice people. The actual fighters are very nice to us 'regular' people.

Fantastic experience: If you want your children not to be bullied, it's time for your children to have the ability to protect themselves.

Fantastic experience: I don’t think any gym in the GTA can top this one. Most professional and knowledgeable coaches and staff I’ve ever had.

Fantastic experience: Love Derek’s cardio classes and Jean’s yoga ‍♀️!!!! They have been super patient, motivating and approachable since day 1. I definitely see an improvement in my fitness journey ! So guys give it a try, highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: My son has been attending for about 2.5 years and has been thoroughly enjoying himself. Each class is 45 minutes long and very well structured. There's a warm up that really gets the heart rate going for the kids. The kids then do an activity where they are working together, like an obstacle course, a relay or shoulder tag between two kids. They then end it off by doing some combinations to practice their technique. The coaches are fantastic. Coach Morgan is great with the kids. She is always trying to get each kid to do their best. She knows all the kids names and she has a genuine passion for what she does. There's definitely a positive energy from the gym and the kids are always having a blast. It's kept very tidy and organized even in the slushy winter. There's a viewing area available for the parents who want to stay and watch the class. And there's also a trial membership which is a great option for kids/parents who are unsure. Overall, our experience has been very positive!

Fantastic experience: My daughters have been going to Elevation since June 2018. They enjoy going to the classes a lot. The owner is the most generous business man I have ever met. He constantly holds parties and events for his students and their friends without a charge. During the pandemic, he offered free online classes for the students to keep them active. The coaches there are very supportive and encouraging. The facility is clean and well maintained. It is a great school with great people, teaching invaluable lessons on the daily and completely embodies what martial arts is about! I highly recommend Elevation Martial Arts and Training centre!! Hi! My name is Exxxxx. I am 10 years old. I started to go to Elevation when I was 6 years old. My coaches are very kind. They support me not only inside the gym but also outside of the gym. I was away from November to February because I had to perform a musical production in downtown every evening. Coach Ritch bought tickets for his family and himself to watch me perform on the Boxing day. I want to thank Coach Ritch and his family for the support!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained with Derek and Jean for years and glad to be able to take some of their HIIT and kettlebell classes in such a nice and welcoming gym. The other people that train there are awesome and supportive which is key in these physically challenging classes. Every class is different and dynamic so it’s always something new and interesting. Derek always makes sure the classes are engaging and that you’re doing the moves with proper technique. Jean’s warm up and cool down exercises are equally important so you’re getting an all-round full body workout.

Fantastic experience: Started doing some of Derek's strength & conditioning classes and didn't take long to see results. Really enjoying the variety and fun challenges in the exercises.

Fantastic experience: If you want to learn various martial arts or improve your overall fitness and health this is the best place to be. Elevation has changed my life for the better and has taught me how to become a skilled kickboxer. The coaches are all so supportive and welcoming! I could not ask for a better community!

Fantastic experience: Joining Elevation has been one of the best decisions I’ve made I started out with 0 experience in any martial arts and after 1 year of training I’m now the Canadian national champ for the 75 kg weight class, not only are they amazing at teaching martial arts this has also been one of the most welcoming environments I’ve ever seen, everyone at the gym are some of my closest friends now and kickboxing is by far my #1 favourite activity.

Fantastic experience: Really nice place! Do do classes once a week and they teach me alot of new stuff!

Fantastic experience: The Instructor was great with the kids. She ensured the children were successful with their focus & effort. Always a great experience!

Fantastic experience: Great facility with amazing instructors. I highly recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: Elevation is the premier martial arts centre in Markham. Not only do they train great athletes but they train great humans. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Our kids Lia and Nick have been attending Elevation for over 3 years, and the skill, confidence, and focus they have gained over the years have all contributed to the amazing, talented, caring coaches at Elevation. Coach Ritch, Coach Morgan, and the rest of the coaching team are absolutely incredible. The coaches not only teach the kids martial arts but also to be respectful, positive, and confident. This is not just a gym but a family. A family that cares for one another, supports and encourages each other. We highly recommend Elevation to our family and friends. Teresa and John Uzelac

Fantastic experience: I started with a 3 class pass. I started with no Muay Thai experience, and I was scared of looking and feeling like like a fool. I showed up though, and despite being new, the instructor was patient. The front staff were wonderful and welcoming! The instructor introduced himself, explained what the class was going to entail and encouraged me to go at a pace I could sustain. The class started with some skipping and conditioning, then we learned some combinations on the bags. The instructor came around to all of us and helped with anything we needed. He helped me correct some things with my stance to keep me level. I never felt dumb, I never felt excluded or forgotten about. I felt like I was part of something and before I knew it, class was over. I've met three instructors and they have different conditioning styles but they're all patient, kind, helpful, attentive and understanding of your limits. If you're looking for a gym that treats you like a person, and helps you with your goals, this is the place. More than fair pricing for what you get! Looking forward to the next year with Elevation!

Fantastic experience: We just recently signed up my two boys 11 and 9 to help teach them self defence ,increase their confidence and self-esteem. The team at elevation is superb and their welcoming atmosphere made my two boys feel right at home and excited. We look forward to many more classes together!

Fantastic experience: Ritch and his team are beyond amazing. They provide a happy and positive environment where every child can grow and have fun. I highly recommend this place and I cannot say enough good things about them!

Fantastic experience: Clean and following covid restrictions. Instructor really nice and has the knowledge.

Fantastic experience: I signed my young kids up for virtual classes in January 2021 to give them a physical activity while waiting for schools to re-open. I had hoped that they would enjoy it but I suspected that at least one of them would lose interest quickly. I couldn't have been more wrong. From the first session, the coaching staff has captivated them and kept them motivated to continue with their training. They look forward to their sessions. As a parent, when a child finds a passion there is nothing more enjoyable than to go along for the ride. Aside from the physical training, the coaching staff emphasize the importance of respect and effort. I only wish I had discovered Elevation sooner. I can't speak highly enough of the staff. I highly recommend Elevation Martial Arts.

Fantastic experience: We've been a part of the Elevation community since before it opened, and they've been an amazing example of adapting to the restrictions during COVID-19. They quickly rescheduled all of their classes on Zoom at convenient times for their students. Elevation really prioritizes kids' education, providing a safe space for children that's encouraging and supportive. We're so happy to have found them!

Fantastic experience: Elevation is the best training center I've ever been to. It's such a genuine, friendly, warm and welcoming place. Coach Ritch hosts a environment of positive growth, fitness, discipline and hard work. Coach Colten, coach Morgan and the rest of the Elevation staff are highly skilled to say the least. They are very meticulous and thoughtful in their training. In the group classes, everyone receives specific care and attention in how to purposefully better their technique and performance. The facility is extremely clean and regularly maintained. It's inspiring how pristine the space is. Their staff is truly exceptional and I highly recommend anyone at all age brackets and levels to train at this academy. It's the best place to be for top quality training!

Fantastic experience: Amazing service and attention to the needs of individual participants - the trainer, Colten, made sure to perfect my form, and pushed me to reach my potential. Very professional, friendly and nice studio! Will return again :)

Fantastic experience: This was my first time ever doing kick boxing. As soon as I entered the gym, I felt so comfortable because everyone was so welcoming. The gym itself is so clean, open, and bright. I did personal training with Colten May, he is so motivating and always pushing me. I highly recommend this gym and trainer.

Fantastic experience: Always an excellent experience here. I have taken classes in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with Gabriel (always amazing!) and Muay Thai with Matt (also amazing!) and now I am taking some personal coaching sessions with Colten. With so much time off from athletics and Muay Thai due to quarantine, this is the perfect time to refocus and get a more nuanced perspective on the striking techniques that I am the worst at (aka all of them.... as being a former hockey player does not translate so well). Colten is an excellent teacher and I feel like I am receiving valuable coaching and conditioning under his supervision. There is so much to learn. A great martial arts school with quality instructors can be hard to find, so I am grateful Elevation is close to home! A great place to pursue your dream of learning martial arts or honing your existing skills.

Fantastic experience: Best place in the GTA! Great coaches and great atmosphere... Very clean as well

Fantastic experience: I cannot sing enough praises about Elevation, the quality of Martial Arts Education that they have to offer, and the family-community oriented environment they embrace and create for their students. As someone who has been practicing fitness kickboxing and is trained in coaching fitness kickboxing, I was looking for somewhere to continue my professional development; to elevate and tighten up my technique so that I can better my own skill set to be a better fitness kickboxing instructor. I was not only looking for authentic martial arts technique, but also a welcoming, non-judgmental, open, and positive environment for me to train. These requirements are so important to me especially as someone who has only ever practiced in women-only gyms and studios. As someone who is female, I always found martial arts gyms to be intimidating, and as soon as I stepped foot into Elevation, I realized it's everything but. From the moment I joined Elevation, I not only had the support of all staff and coaches each and every time I walked into the gym, but even throughout the pandemic closure, the Elevation team was there for me every step of the way. They provide an environment that not only allows me to work on my Muay Thai technique, but they also challenge my mind to grow and provide me a space that helps alleviate the daily stresses and emotional and mental tension that comes from coping with the ever-changing circumstances that life entails. They truly take the time out to help better you and inspire you to grow in every aspect of your life. There's no doubt in my mind that Elevation is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: We've been going to this gym for 2 years now and started the virtual class due to the pandemic. We weren't sure how it would work but we're glad we tried because coach Ritch is really positive and motivates you to do the proper technique and continue to be physically active. He makes the virtual class very interactive especially for the kids with weekly giveaways ( pizza party, ice cream, cupcakes) and fun games at the end of the class. We're happy to be part of the Elevation family!

Fantastic experience: I just want to say that I have trained with Ritch for ten years . He is such a highly motivated and positive individual , a pleasure to be around. I highly recommend elevation martial arts & training center . When your in the gym it feels like a family atmosphere . While this “pandemic” has been going on he has offered online classes everyday of the week for my children and myself. If you have the chance please check them out, you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Excellent training facility and super clean!!

Fantastic experience: As someone who is picky before joining a gym, after taking a few classes at Elevation, I can confidently say that I will be back for more. The classes are intense for any level athlete and leave you exhausted after a good workout. The coaches will support you in your journey whether you are starting off in learning your martial arts or an experienced fighter. Coach Cornell dedicates his time to work with every student and will stay to answer any questions you may have in perfecting your technique. You can tell that all individuals at the gym are dedicated and passionate about their journey in martial arts. The facility is kept exceptionally clean, has a filtered water station for refills, and even fruits to snack on should you need a quick bite to replenish those glucose levels after a hard workout! Martial arts helps build discipline and mental strength to overcome adversity which is why I am so excited to learn more at Elevation. I will definitely be showing up more often to classes and I hope to see you there!

Fantastic experience: Amazing Jiu-Jitsu BJJ program!!! Just like the muay thai, its a family friendly gym, super clean and has the knowledge to back it up. Professor Gabriel brings his high ranking skills, patience and passion for the sport of Judo and BJJ. The environment feels welcoming and safe to be in. I couldn't be more grateful to be apart of elevation. ♥️

Fantastic experience: Cornell is a great coach. He push and motivate you to perform your best. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: What an incredible place and CLEAN!!!! I have been to many martial arts schools and though some are good the difference I see here is that EVERY student is given attention to grow at their own pace. All the coaches are incredible and truly love what they do. Coach Colten in particular really takes the time out of his busy schedule to work with my son and my son LOVES it!!!! He is not really into anything other than his electronics but this is one activity he NEVER complains about going and is always trying to work his best when he's there. THANK YOU ELEVATION for helping my son grow as a respectful and disciplined person!

Fantastic experience: After a few months of nagging me about trying out some of the different classes @ Elevation coach Cornell convinced me to try out the Kick boxing / Muay Thai classes and Strength and conditioning classes. The classes and staff are superb, as well as the other gym members. It takes a little getting used to but after a few weeks anybody can get addicted to the work outs and will start to attend more and more. I was living an unhealthy and self destructive life style before I met coach Cornell, and if not for Cornell and the support of the Elevation staff and members I don't know how far down the rabbit hole I may have gone. Nobody is judgmental over at Elevation, its the opposite everybody is supportive. I recommend Elevation to anybody who wishes to learn any of these martial arts, or who wants to better themselves, you will find no better place!

Fantastic experience: I've been to the gym a handful of times based on the recommendation from my friends. I've taken the beginner classes with Cornell and I absolutely love it! He is an amazing teacher and trainer and gives me helpful tips and corrections even in a class setting. The gym is so clean and the staff are so wonderful and friendly. Highly recommend this gym but most important their staff and teachers.

Fantastic experience: Amazing people ,teachers and staff! My favourite coach is CornellAwesome positive vibe when you walk in the doors and it is very clean!

Fantastic experience: Really professional training, great coach and great environment!

Fantastic experience: My friend has been coming to this gym for the past year and Coach Cornell has been a great mentor and trainer to him. Coach Cornell’s engagement with his students and my friend encourage them to keep coming back for more.

Fantastic experience: I have always been into martial arts due to its fundamental core values of self improvement and well-being that comes through discipline and pushing your body to its limits. Elevation’s experienced and skillful coaches such as Coach Cornell are able to lead by example through safe and well instructed drills. Coach Cornell is able to balance a good variety of fun and traditional as well as in-depth practical applications through his teaching practices. In addition, there is also a sense of community that the gym is able to provide unlike anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Good place to train and the gym is very clean. Cornell is an amazing coach who spends his time going through the details. This is like my home away from home. I would give more stars if I could!!!

Fantastic experience: Clean place, great instructors, strongly recommended. I really like Coach Cornell’s classes.

Fantastic experience: Elevation is great and Coach Morgan is a great coach! She is a great teacher and really knows what she's doing

Fantastic experience: The program is amazing!!! coach morgan is a great coach, shes made a large positive impact in my technique and confidence

Fantastic experience: Hands down, the best training facility in Markham. Their dedication and passion for teaching is contagious.

Fantastic experience: I have been doing the boot camp at Elevation since this January. The instructor Candice is great. She is cheerful and modifies the workout for you. My cardio has been improved a big time. I also started taking the Muay Thai classes. The coaches and environment are awesome. You won't feel like being left alone, and coaches will spend value time on correcting your forms, which is really helpful for my Japanese Jiu Jitsu training. Come to train with us!

Fantastic experience: They had free apples and bananas. The place was very clean. All the staff make an effort to make you feel welcomed....and I'm just a spectator while the boy (age 3) participates. Instructors, whether they know anything about muay thai or not, it doesnt matter because they are fantastic with kids. My boy is strong willed and out of control when he wants to be. I believe this place will drill "focus" into him sooner than later. Final comments: the little things makes this place what it is. We even got invited to a bbq they are having.

Fantastic experience: The instructors are amazing and patient, everyone is very kind and passionate with what they teach. I highly recommend this place.

Positive experience: Parking is very limited, and the facility is tiny. Good lessons and good customer service but they need to organize their flow of people coming in and out of the studio.

Fantastic experience: (Btw this is Brigham) Jeez I honestly don’t know we’re to begin about how good this place is. I had zero experience with any martial arts and now I think it’s fair to say I’m addicted, I come everyday and love everything about it. The coach’s and people are amazing and it feels like they take you into the family on the first day. Programs and classes for everyone with varying difficulties. If you want to just go to get fit and learn a martial art or want to go and actually compete then elevation at accommodate to both those needs. Really everything about this place is 5 stars and there’s no where better I’d want to be training. Although every class at elevation is amazing I personally feel that coach Cornell’s are simply spectacular. Coach Cornell will always give constructive criticism or fantastic feedback on his thai or strength classes. I always see him working his way around the class correcting technique on everyone, making sure that no one is left untaught. Classes are always interesting and unique with coach Cornell as well, he’s always mixing up classes and won’t do the same thing twice in one week. Overall Cornell is a fantastic role model and coach for elevation mixed martial arts.

Fantastic experience: I cant even explain how amazing, welcoming and hardworking every individual is in this gym. I’ve gone to multiple martial arts facilities in the past years, but nothing compares to Elevation. The gym is very clean and uses space effectively, promoting hard work and participates to hold themselves highly while maintaining humility. In addition the training is at the highest level, coaches Matt, Cornel, Darnell, Jay, Kyle and Ritch always makes us train hard while having fun. The kids classes are also a blast and I hope my younger brother joins soon! I could go on and on about this gym, it is like a second home.

Fantastic experience: If there was an option to give 6 out of 5 stars I would. I have been a member at Elevation for close to a year. Not only am I a member I’m also part of the Elevation Fight Team. My experience has gone beyond my expectations in a positive way. From my first day walking through Elevation’s doors I was nervous because I wasn’t sure if I was ready to take the next steps in my fitness journey, but I’m so glad I joined! The entire elevation family made me feel welcomed and answered all my questions. Another thing I noticed is the training facility is extremely clean, spacious and well lit. All of the coaches provide excellent knowledge, skills, and technique that cater to each members’ or athletes’ abilities. Essentially they cater to your level whether you’re trying to achieve your goals for fitness, for competition, or to learn something new. Personally, from participating in classes and competitions ,the coaches have provided me with mental and physical strength that I apply in my daily life, such as taking on new challenges, maintaining confidence, and staying motivated. Also if you are someone who wants to get involved or give back to the community, Kru Ritch, is a big advocate for supporting community initiatives. It is a great way to create a positive impact in your environment and donate your time, talent and effort to build a stronger community. Elevation is a friendly and safe space for anyone. If you’re looking for a family friendly environment, build new friendships, compete, get fit, or set new goals this is the place to be! :)

Fantastic experience: We have only amazing things to say about the coaches at this gym. They are supportive of all the kids who attend. They are not like other gyms that make you feel like they are just in it to make a buck, they work wonders with the kids and encourage them to be the best they can be.

Fantastic experience: I have personally trained with the instructors and the owner years ago and I can tell you there is no one else is more passionate about teaching Martial Arts than team Elevation. Their knowledge and respect are always on point and they work great with all age groups. I highly suggest to check them out and have them be your trainers in your Martial Arts Journey.

Fantastic experience: Positive and professional atmosphere. Great for kids and adults alike. Excellent instructors. Clean and organized environment.

Fantastic experience: An excellent facility with top notch instructors and staff. I have not only enrolled myself in some of the classes but have also signed up my 3 year old daughter. I would highly recommend Elevation Martial Arts to adults and children.

Fantastic experience: Amazing instructors and community. Absolutely recommended for those who are interested in learning/improving their fitness and self defense.

Fantastic experience: We just moved to Markham recently and I am so happy we found Elevation Martial Arts! I had so many questions and concerns and everyone took the time to answer them and truly made me feel comfortable with my decision! It’s rare to find something all three of my children love, being 5, 15 & 17 years old! All three absolutely love going, in fact they want to go every day! To see them with a great big smile while truly being challenged in class is all I need to know this was the best decision I could have made! The instructors are welcoming, supportive and encouraging! Warm and friendly “family” atmosphere. Really couldn’t ask for anything more!

Fantastic experience: The instructors are very skilled and push you towards your potential. Awesome place to learn Muay Thai, as everyone possess positive mentality and is focused on improving their technique. I am very glad to be a part of this community!

Fantastic experience: I was not sure what to expect going into my first class, but as soon as I got there everyone made me feel super comfortable. All of the coaches are very friendly and welcoming. The classes are challenging but the coaches motivate you and make it lots of fun. The facility is bright and clean. Everyone there is knowledgeable and takes the time to answer any questions you may have.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best place to learn Muay Thai in the Markham area. It is a very inclusive environment where the staff is friendly, instructors are patient and encouraging, members are supportive and the gym doesnt stink! The workouts are challenging but not overly difficult and I always leave feeling good about myself. Highly recommend this club to anyone and everyone of all skill levels.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train with friendly people.

Fantastic experience: Me and my brother are in the Muay Thai/Kickboxing classes and I got to say it’s sooo fun. I’ve learned so much the past few weeks. The trainers are professionals and make you feel welcomed. Great place to learn Muay Thai

Fantastic experience: If I could give it 6 stars I would! Elevation training center a truly world class facility with top level training .. Kru Ritch Kruz - a world class fighter trainer and a true gentleman you'll benefit whether 1 st day beginner or world champion I've been there seen them all , if it says Elevation on the door its best money you ever spent Guaranteed !

Fantastic experience: Kru Ritch is an exceptional coach and a fantastic human being. At first, I was intimidated by the level of skill he carried. However, the first time he trained and coached me, it was nothing like I ever expected. The way he spoke was very calm, and he made sure you understood exactly what he was talking about. At my very first grappling tournament, I didn't actually have a coach. However, Kru Ritch saw me, and because he knew me, he came over and helped me out. He laid down on the ground to speak to me at my level and spoke so calmly, in a way that it cut through all the excitement and loud noises. He did something no coach had ever done before, and it took me all the way to the finals. I've never had a coach quite like that. A few hours later, I competed in the MMA/Sport Jiu-Jitsu tournament, and was defeated by one of his students, to no surprise at all. I just could not speak any higher about a coach like him. There are great coaches around if you search hard enough, but it’s not often you find ones like that WITH heart. He’s simply the best of both worlds.

Fantastic experience: Elevation is a martial arts school like no other. The skills you and your children will gain are second to none. The owner and head instructor Ritch Kruz is a champion fighter who's experience is global. His approach to teaching is fueled by passion and commitment. The experience the children get, is truly special. As parents, we are so incredibly blessed to have instructors like Ritch, Matt, Kyle and Morgan (to name a few). They are deeply committed and clearly passionate about what they do and how they do it. The stories you hear about children walking into the school with low self-esteem and turning into super confident kids, is absolutely true! I know this because we had one of those kids of our own. So while they are teaching Muay Thai to the students, they are giving them so much more. This is absolutely a family school, that just so happens to house the best fighters and best teachers you'll find.

Fantastic experience: I've been a few times and can't wait to get back every time i leave. They take the time to really cater to your level. Even though i'm a novice they take the time to teach in a way which makes it easy for me and fun at the the same time.

Fantastic experience: Great Facility Great Instructors Very friendly. We love it. Highly recomend it!!!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility and instructors , inspiring atmosphere , would def recommend to others !

Fantastic experience: Why run on a treadmill when you can sweat way more AND learn life skills? This amazing facility can help you reach your fitness goals while training in Muay Thai and Brazilian jiu jitsu will help you to instill a quiet confidence that transfers into everyday life.

Fantastic experience: Ladies, I just finished the beginners/intermediate Muai Tai class with coach Cornell. I was very, very intimidated at first because honestly i had never done Muai Tai. It was the best work out I have EVER had, the coach, Cornell, was amaxing and very patient with me and everyone in the class was kind and helpful. It felt like I belonged with my classmates. One big happy Muai Tai family. I highly recommend it!!! Try it once and you will be hooked. I promise.

Fantastic experience: My kids and I joined Elevation at their Grand Opening, and it has been a very positive experience ever since. You feel it as soon as you walk into the gym — the beautiful space, the welcoming front house staff, the professional and hard working instructors, and the friendly clientele all make for a motivating and engaging atmosphere. Both the adult and kids’ classes are challenging but fun, and the quality of instruction that we receive is always exemplary. What’s most amazing is that Elevation is a true family-run business, and they treat their members like an extension of their own family. We are grateful to be a part of it! Keep up the great work!

Fantastic experience: I have been to few places before signed up here, like no other, very clean and bright. Great instructors with family like environment. Try it for yourself!

Fantastic experience: I started doing the Women’s Kickboxing classes at Elevation a few months ago after moving to Canada from Australia, seeing a deal for trial classes and realising it was opening just down the road. I’ve never done any kind of martial arts, and was so anxious at first I almost turned around before setting foot in the place for my first class but I am so glad I didn’t. The women’s classes are amazing! Always different, always a great focus on technique and always a super tough workout! And everyone is so encouraging and welcoming - the team really just want to see everyone be their best. My four year old is also now doing the kids class and absolutely loves it, his two year old brother is just sad he can’t join in too. Huge thanks to Ritch and the team for creating such an awesome environment to learn and train! Just wish I knew more people in this country to recommend Elevation to!!

Fantastic experience: Ritch Kruz's has made such a positive impact on the community that anyone who knows him or his team will attest. I've been to many martial arts gyms/clubs in my life, none as clean and friendly as Elevation. Couple that with the fantastic coaches with world class experience, and you are left with a truly amazing gym.

Fantastic experience: I train at Elevation Martial Arts, along with my two daughters (6 and 8). The facilities are top notch, super clean and includes some state of the art calorie tracking on the bags that make training fun. All of the trainers are experienced martial artists, and have all done their police background checks. I feel safe when my kids are there, and I can tell they are growing from this experience.

Fantastic experience: Amazing martial arts gym, Welcoming and family environment which is present the movement you walk in the door. Clean and organized workout space and equipement. Charistmatic and insightful coaches and staff that are dedicated to helping their students achieve their martial arts and fitness goals. Would totally recommend :)

Fantastic experience: I started at Elevation a month ago and this gym continues to exceed my expectations every day. Their punching bags that measure and add up the power of each strike, their attention to cleanliness, and the high caliber of the coaches' skills and experiences makes Elevation stand out. The passion and love these people have for their sport builds a community that supports each other and is welcoming to everyone. You will never be left confused about what you need to improve on and the steps you need to take to get there. Whether you are looking to better yourself as a fighter, trying to get in shape, or anything in between, you can leave every class knowing you have progressed a little closer to your goals.

Fantastic experience: Great facility, amazing instructors and very welcoming for experienced and beginners in the sport. The staff at elevation treats everyone like family and provides a lot of face time with instructors. The best gym around.

Fantastic experience: Girls loving their kids Muay Thai Classes....kids are having blast while the coaches focus on inclusiveness, creating confidence, body strength/awareness, instilling grit, focus and life lessons on and off the mat. They want to go train everyday and that says something about the positive environment that has been created at Elevation. Thank you Kru Ritch and all the coaches for being who you are and all you are doing for my kids!

Fantastic experience: Losing weight has always been a challenge for me until Elevation opened. It’s a great family-friendly gym, with passionate instructors. Highly recommend it, especially the women’s kickboxing class!

Fantastic experience: This gym is truly like no other! I brought my daughter because she is shy and always stuck to my side in public environments. My son has a hard time focusing and listening. I had taken them to other gyms before but they didn’t like it and wouldn’t go back. Because they had never stuck with a program, I wasn’t sure this would give me what I was looking for. After the first class at Elevation, they wouldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had! They asked me everyday when we were going back! Not only do they love the classes and the instructors, the confidence it has given my children is incredible. After taking only a few classes, my daughter runs in the doors before I’m even out of the car. My son listens much better and is able to focus! The staff is amazing and it is such a nice place! It is super clean and beautifully designed. And everyone there is so welcoming and nice! Which is a relief as new places can be very overwhelming and intimidating. Not here!!! I feel like I’m part of the Elevation family already! Do not hesitate to bring your whole family here!!!

Fantastic experience: Walked in there and loved the facility. Impeccably clean, with water refill stations and fresh fruit for all. Had a feta time with staff that are friendly, helpful and accommodating. It’s obvious they take pride in what they have to offer and go above and beyond to provide members with structured challenging classes. Absolutely love this place. Will recommend to everyone!!!

Fantastic experience: This place is top notch. I’ve been to many Thai Boxing gyms, and I have never received such technical and professional training. The way they pick at your stance, correct your strikes, and really focus on foot work. Usually at Thai Boxing gyms the instructors have minimal fight experience, and have only competed a handful of times. At Elevation, the instructors have a great amount of fight experience, Matt alone has 85 fights under his belt, I’m not sure about how many the others have, but I know they aren’t far off. This is my only google review, and it’s only because I feel like I’m at home when I’m at Elevation. The atmosphere is like no other gym. No one is there to hurt you, only to motivate and push you to be better. Beginner, amateur, professional, it doesn’t matter what level you are at, there’s a place for you at Elevation.

Fantastic experience: Even before opening their doors Elevation Martial Arts was active in ensuring their ideology was conveyed with positive reinforcement. As a woman entering her third act and recognizing the need to be healthy, Ritch Cruz and his team are forward thinking in their ability to make your program as individual as you are. I look forward to a long and healthy fitness journey with Elevation.

Fantastic experience: My son loves this place. I find him more confident and he has also been sleeping better since joining

Fantastic experience: I recently switched gyms to Elevation Martial Arts Training Centre and I am so glad I did. I wasn't sure if I would like it so I did a trail membership. By the time I finished my first class I knew this was the place I wanted to be training. Great workout, amazing staff, and the atmosphere makes me feel like I'm training with family. I love this place and would recommend it to anyone who asks.

Fantastic experience: I have known the Elevation crew for years now. They are just honestly great people. Elevation surrounds themselves with good, knowledgable people, creating that team and family atmosphere where you feel comfortable to train and learn at your own pace. Kru Ritch and the instructors have a vast amount knowledge at various disciplines at your disposal, they are always willing to help improve your game, health or whatever goals you have set for yourself.
