Glory is the best and most supportive gym I’ve ever joined. The coaches care about your success and never hesitate to show you how to complete a combo. The owners, Mike and Laura, are extremely welcoming and always take time to listen to your goals and help you achieve them. I’ve met so many great people through Glory, and I totally feel myself improving with every class! Everyone at Glory pushes each other to be stronger, both mentally and physically. It’s the best community around!

Absolutely loved my experience at Glory Combat Sports and Fitness! From the moment I stepped in, I felt like part of the family. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what they do, always pushing you to improve while making sure you’re safe and learning at your own pace. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned fighter, there's something for everyone.
The training environment is top-notch—clean, well-equipped, and has a great vibe that motivates you to give it your best. The variety of classes they offer, from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to Muay Thai, boxing, and even strength conditioning, means I never get bored and always have something new to work on.
What really stands out to me is the community. It's so welcoming and supportive. Everyone cheers each other on, and there’s a real camaraderie that makes you excited to come back every day. It's not just about fighting; it’s about building strength, confidence, and becoming the best version of yourself, both inside and outside the gym.
If you're serious about combat sports or just looking for a fun, challenging workout, Glory Combat Sports and Fitness is the place to be! Highly recommend!

We could not be more pleased with the training that my son is receiving at Glory. The staff are excellent in the areas that they teach, many having taught and competed for many years. They are genuinely interested in teaching to the level of the kids, while also challenging them. My son has grown tremendously in his skills but also his desire, due to the atmosphere at the gym. We highly recommend this gym and look forward to many more years with Glory.

A few months ago, I signed my son up at Glory after he’d taken a few years off from training. Tucson doesn’t have many full-scope MMA gyms for kids, so this place has been a great find. In just a short time, he’s trained in no-gi BJJ, Muay Thai, MMA, and boxing—and he’s loved every bit of it.
Mike and Laura have built more than just a gym—they’ve created a space where kids feel welcome, learn from skilled coaches, and gain real confidence. Whether a child wants to compete or simply develop self-defense skills, Glory is an outstanding option. If you’re close enough to make the drive, I highly recommend it.

My son and I have been going to glory combat fitness for almost a year now and I cannot say enough great things about this place! From the moment we joined, the owners made us feel so welcome and like family! The coaches are encouraging, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping you reach your goals. The classes are always challenging but fun, and I’ve learned so much while getting stronger every week. It’s more than just a place to work out, it’s a community that makes you want to show up! I’m so grateful to have found this gym and highly recommend it to anyone (adults and kids) looking for a supportive and motivating place to train!

My experience with Glory Combat has been quite glorious. The classes are tough, fun, educational,and helped me realize that though I've been sedentary for 30 plus years, it's never to late to get in shape. The classes are never boring and each coach has their own style of teaching, which has helped me stay engaged and focused. The coaches are professional, inspiring and motivate me to push myself to levels of intensity I believed were long gone. If you want get in shape, learn martial arts and have fun all the same time, I recommend Glory Combat.

My son attends the Kids Combat Summer Program at Glory Combat and we absolutely love it! The coaches are so patient, positive, and motivating. They’ve created such a fun, safe, and structured environment where the kids can learn discipline, build confidence, and stay active.

I absolutely love Glory Combat & happy to be trained by the best. I do mostly 1 on 1 private training but the group classes are just as good. The environment is so inviting, the instructing and coaching is progressive so, weather you’re a beginner or advanced, you will fit right in :)

The Sky is the Limit
If you are looking to get in shape, sharpen your martial arts skills and/or compete, be apart of an amazing team with lots of talent, this is the gym you’ve been looking for.
Transformation Program!
I pursued the 16 Week Transformation Program. The nutrition plan Mike provided me was fantastic, he tailored the plan to the foods I enjoy which made it very easy to follow. Following this program I cut my body fat percent in half from 25% to 12.2%. Not only did Mike provide the tools for me to use to get into shape, but he also provided an abundance of information on nutrition and fitness along the way.
One on One Training!
If you’re looking to step up your training even more, the one on one trainings I’ve done with Mike have helped me leaps and bounds. Mike is a fantastic Coach, is a fountain of knowledge and incredibly patient teacher. I’m 8 sessions in and my Muay Thai and MMA skills would not be where they are today if it was not for Mike. I feel more confident in the gym and sparring than ever.
To reiterate the title of this review “The Sky is the Limit”, If you’re willing to put in the work and utilize all the provided tools, information and guidance, you will achieve your goals.
Mike and Laura have created an amazing gym. It’s incredibly welcoming, well organized and full of talent. They put ton of hard work into the gym and constantly make it better. I’m beyond grateful to be apart of the Glory Combat Sports and Fitness team and to have the opportunity to know such awesome individuals, thank you Mike and Laura.
Glory!

I've been going to Glory Combat for about 7 months now and I am so glad I made the decision to attend. All the staff there are friendly and genuinely care about their customers like a family. The workouts are awesome no matter what your fitness level is. I would highly recommend to anyone (all ages) wanting to get into shape while also learning great self defense skills. God Bless!

Coach Mike is the real deal. He takes a scientific, calculated approach to MMA that makes every session purposeful and effective. The gym is clean, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about helping each person improve. Highly recommend for anyone serious about leveling up whether it’s in MMA or overall fitness.

Amazing Gym, staff, and community. I was only able to be a part of this gym for a short time due to work and having to move. I was pretty upset about it. Very welcoming facility and friendly faces regardless of background knowledge in combat sports. If you are looking to get into MMA, Muay Thai or any sort of combat sports then look no further. Experienced staff and Coach Mike was able to work with me on my membership agreement with my change in address. If the commute wasn't so far I would still attend. Do yourself a favor and sign up for a trial class, you wont regret it. I hope to eventually drop in from time to time if my schedule allows and I am on that side of town which shows how much I will miss the environment.

I’ve been training at Glory Combat Sports & Fitness for almost a year now, and I can honestly say it’s been an incredible experience! I’m having so much fun learning new techniques and combos—there’s always something fresh to work on, and it keeps me engaged and excited to come back! The coaches do a great job of pushing me to improve while still encouraging me every step of the way. It’s a great community where everyone is supportive & encouraging, no matter your size, skill set, or experience level! I love how I’ve been able to make some great connections with some of the ladies here, too! Whether you’re just starting or looking to refine your skills, this gym is a place that makes you want to keep coming back. Be ready to get those gloves & put in some work!

I've always been a fan of MMA gyms, and this one stands out because the people here are great at matching your pace. The grappling is also more tailored to MMA training, which makes it more practical than typical recreational Jiu Jitsu. Great coaches, great atmosphere, check them out!

We signed up our 6yr old not knowing what to expect. He is pretty mellow and has never showed interested in combat. It was more of us wanting to introduce a different type of sport. We were nervous as none of us has any experience so it was more watching him grow into it. The coaches are like family and very welcoming. Highly recommend if starting out to join Glory Combat. Coach Mike and the team are so great with all ages.

The first time I met with Mike and Laura I knew it would be the kind of environment I want my family to be involved with. They are very committed and coaches are very passionate and involved in the athletes development. Owners are very responsive and thrive to be involved with the community which is a big plus for me. Location is excellent: close to the freeway and surrounded by shops.

Ever since I was young, I had wanted to learn martial arts, eventually focusing on kickboxing. As I grew older, I became less confident that I could start from square one. Fortunately, this was not the case, thanks to Glory Combat Sports and Fitness!
I started slow, but now I can manage 5 days a week of classes! This is thanks to Coaches Mike, Dez, Andrew, and Frankie's expertise in working with all fitness levels and ages.
If you're in the Marana area and are interested in Muay Thai, Boxing, or Jujitsu, I highly recommend trying Glory. We will welcome you as a fellow team member, where we can work towards our goals, safely and together.

I have been coming to this gym for a couple months now and absolutely love it! It has a great community feel which is what I was looking for being new to the area. The coaches are VERY knowledgeable about Muy Thai/boxing/Jiu Jitsu which I haven't often experienced at kickboxing chain gyms. There are a variety of classes, so something for everyone! Couldn't recommend it more!

There’s so many good things I want to say about this gym, but I’m not sure I can fit it all in this paragraph! I’ll start off with the owners. Mike and Laura are the most genuine, down-to-earth people. I recently had a personal issue, and had to communicate that with the owners, which they were completely understanding of. Glory is still pretty new but it’s already such a great place to train at. The gym community here is amazing. Also, this gym is LEGIT. I have trained martial arts for a while and competed - I’m from a gym in Oregon where I received my blue belt in bjj, Mike the owner is also from the same gym! If you want to learn martial arts, train at Glory. The Muay Thai is legit, and so is the jiu jitsu! 🙏🏼

This place feels very different from other Martial Arts gyms I've trained at. The coaches here genuinely care about their students and WILL help you achieve your goals. Whether you're someone completely new to the sport, a seasoned fighter, or just trying to improve your overall health; this is the perfect place to do that. This place has everything you need to become the best version of yourself: Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, Kickboxing, MMA fundamentals, and some pretty intense fitness classes that will get you into the best shape of your life. ✊✊✊

Mike is dedicated to motivating people to reach their fitness goals. After working with Mike for more than 4 years, I've come to realize that being fit involves more than just exercising. Mike gives me advice on healthy eating, creative exercise regimens, and the value of rest. Following through the fitness plan created for me, I can see a difference in range of motion, strength, and endurance. Mike is a skilled coach who will create a personalized plan to assist you in achieving your fitness objective. His is an expertise is in conditioning, combat sports, and weightlifting. If you're on the hunt for diversity in a gym, I highly recommend Glory Combat.

Out of all the combat sports gyms and martial arts schools I've been too, this one is my favorite by far. The coaches know what they're talking about, they have a lot of experience and they have allowed my techniques improve very much. Everything in this gym is very nice and high quality, it's a lot of fun, very nice training, good sparring, good coaching, and a nice environment. Can't wait to come back

As someone over fifty I was a little concerned with my flexibility and stamina and being able to train martial arts with a younger crowd. Mike is great at working with your physical capabilities and building upon that to make you better and stronger while increasing your range of motion. I found the training has far reaching benefits including managing weight, more strength, better balance, better coordination, and better reflexes. Its also highly gratifying when then benefits begin to spill into other activities, like hiking or golf or other things you like to do.
Both Mike and Laura are very encouraging and foster a welcoming atmosphere that makes training enjoyable. Training at Glory Combat gives a sense of working as a team and being in the Glory family as you make friends and build relationships. While there is a wide range of abilities and experience levels, there is a way to grow at Glory Combat. And its not just Mike but I have also had the opportunity to train with a great coaching staff including coach Flores, coach Slater, and coach Quenga providing training in BJJ, Thai boxing, boxing, and strength and conditioning classes.
If you tend to get bored doing the same old cardio regimen at the gym I would encourage you to give Glory Combat a try. When you get to the point of dodging punches, you become very motivated to keep moving and push past your physical discomfort and limitations.
While one may not ever plan on being in a street fight, ultimately we don’t have full control over that possibility. The training gives us some skills and peace of mind that if some one tries to harm us that we could defend ourselves and our families.

What an amazing experience. I haven't been very active since I was an athlete 12 years ago. I was scared I would be feeling uncomfortable in a group setting with people who have combat sports experience since this would be a new experience entirely for me. Mike and Laura made it absolutely perfect!! To feel encouraged about my skill level and experience and progress through my first class made me hungry to come back! I've got classes booked for the next month now and can't wait to grow, get active, and shred weight! I cannot recommend this place enough!!
