Even from my trial class I felt welcomed and like the staff really care. I've been going regularly for less than a month but I've become addicted to the kickboxing classes! Don, the owner, is exceptionally knowledgeable and patient, and a great coach as well. He does a great job of explaining the moves and combos in a way that make sense. I'm horrible at kickboxing but I'm not made to feel bad about it, which says a lot. I can't wait to continue to grow here. read less - Ivana Susic - 11/09/2023

I have nothing bad to say about the gym, the owner, and most importantly the people. They gym is filled with some of the most kind and respectful people I have ever met in my life and it’s a joy to train at this gym every day with them. The gym is my favorite environment and outlet to be at other than the comfort of my own home and this gym allows me to have the most fulfilled and exciting experience every time I train here. The coaches here do a fantastic job of working with students to train you to excel quickly at the fundamentals of any of the martial arts they offer here and assist you in reaching your potential, no matter how athletic or skilled you are in martial arts. To top it all off the gym is run by a fantastic owner and has had my back ever since I got there, which to me is a very important aspect of choosing a gym to train at, and I wouldn’t want to train under any other coach. I would highly recommend this gym, and I have, to anyone looking to find an environment that feels like home to train at and get a great workout. read less - Ibrahim Abuisba - 8/20/2023

The owner of this place really takes care of his students in terms of drilling good technique and honing in on details while also focusing on students' safety. I'd say all of the coaches here strike a great balance between motivating and pushing the students and giving accurate and critical feedback. It's also just a great environment to train in as far as sparring etiquette and general respect. Great staff, great training partners and I feel like I've greatly improved since I started training here. read less - John - 7/18/2023

All the coaches are very knowledgeable and friendly, and the gym has a welcoming feel to it. The owner, Don Roger is also friendly and welcoming; he has worked with both my daughters and helped us get acclimated with a trial class and lots of pointers when we first joined. I would definitely recommend AMAC to any individual or family looking to get some exercise and learn some kickboxing skills at the same time. read less - Andrew French - 6/21/2023

The personal touch provided by Don and the instructors is above and beyond what is to be expected. From kickboxing to Muay Thai to Jiu-Jitsu to Grappling to Judo (for both kids and adults) their instructors are extremely well versed in their respective areas. They care about everyone in the class and really help to refine your abilities as you progress. AMAC has the feel of the old time gyms where you just do the work - that is what they care about. You come in, you warm up, and give 110% of yourself on the mat. You learn the skills and have fun at the same time. Whether you are in an advanced class or just a beginner, everyone helps everyone. There is a true feeling of family here. If you are near Apex NC and looking for someplace to get in shape, might I suggest giving AMAC a try? You will not be disappointed. read less - SS Cooper - 2/20/2023

I feel like I came in with a good base from training at another gym for a year. Don could not be more welcoming and inclusive and his gym has a positive vibe. It can be very intimidating to go into a martial arts class for the first time, and every class I've been in has been welcoming and disarming. I personally appreciate that as an older female athlete. I enjoy the class formats. There's a good amount of cardio push at the same time you are learning KB and incorporating challenging combos. The level 1 class is consistent for learning the basics of KB and there is growth potential for every member. My 6 year old daughter loves the kids classes. I enthusiastically recommend AMAC! read less - Robin Forgione - 9/20/2022
