The top 5 benefits of doing MMA Fitness and Conditioning
It’s time to learn the top benefits you receive from getting in shape with us!

- Better flexibility: Your ability to move your muscles and joints through a full normal range of motion will improve thanks to consistent workouts. Basic movements will be easier and more efficient for you with better flexibility.
- Increased strength: There’s nothing like the feeling of getting stronger! A stronger body means you’ll be more resilient. Through bodyweight exercises and weight training, your body will be able to increase its energy output in movements like punching and kicking.
- Improved aerobic conditioning: When you’re worried about catching your breath, it’s tough to focus on skill improvement. You’ll be able to do better in every area of your life when your aerobic capacity is better.
- Better mental focus and clarity: One of the biggest benefits of our workouts is your ability to focus and think clearly will improve.

What’s a typical MMA Fitness and Conditioning class like?
Our Absolute MMA Fitness and Conditioning classes are scheduled for 60 minutes but some classes may not use up the full 60 minutes. There are different factors involved such as the intensity of the exercises as well as the type of exercises that affect total class time.
Classes start with a 10-minute warm-up to get your body warm and ready. This is often done with running/jogging or jump rope followed by a mobility exercise.
The core portion of the workout can include a range of exercises such as the following:
- Medicine ball slams
- Deadlifts
- Body weight squats
- Barbell squats
- Push-ups
- Assault bike rounds
- Pull-ups
- Kettlebell swings
If you’re new to an exercise, you don’t need to worry. Your coaches and teammates will help you understand basic techniques so you can perform each exercise safely. You’ll find yourself being pushed to new limits in a way that you feel encouraged and supported. We focus on getting better together because we can accomplish amazing things when we work together.
