We’d love to have you as part of the American Top Team Community. We are proud of the quality of instruction and the attitudes of our students. But don’t take it from us, here’s what our members have to say about their experience at American Top Team Asheville:

You owe yourself to come train at American Top Team Asheville. This place is amazing! Overall, the gym is run very professionally but it also has welcoming culture that makes it great for both beginners and pros. I’m focusing on the striking training, and the coach, Steve, is as good as it gets. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, is a great teacher and very patient and relaxed. Classes always start on time and we get right to work. All the time is used for training and working out. Everyone taking classes is very focused on improving themselves and yet there’s a very cooperative and friendly atmosphere. There’s a methodology to the training. Each month, we focus on a new skill and we spend the month drilling and practicing that skill so we can internalizing the skill before moving to the next one. The place is also great for kids. The kids boxing class looks amazing and I can see the kids improving and developing confidence. We also get a great workout so there’s that! I would highly recommend coming here.

These guys are the best! They are all so accepting and encouraging. Before I went to this gym I had no confidence or self esteem. I’ve been going for a couple of months and I feel so confident in myself than I've felt in a long time. I get excited to go practice to get better! They make you feel apart of everything and everyone there are kind and caring. I feel like a have an amazing gym family!

I've been going to this gym since last October. I've never done this type of activity prior to that first visit, but had always been interested boxing. I finally took the plunge and wish I had started sooner. This is the only gym I actually look forward to going to after a long day at work. This is the only activity I look forward to putting effort into. Sure, some if it is because of the activity itself, but mostly it's because of the community and culture. It's a very supportive and engaging group of people. Everyone looks out for each other and offers support however they can. From my very first visit and since it's been this way. I can't explain it any better. I can't recommend this place enough!

Amazing atmosphere with people and coaches that want to see you succeed. Just signed up last week and felt super welcomed. If you’ve been thinking about starting jiu jitsu, I promise you won’t regret coming in. Huge shoutout to Coach Patrick for being the best mentor for so much talent here.
