FRANKIE EDGAR IRON ARMY ACADEMY

Love love love it here. My kids enjoying coming so much it’s the first time my oldest has genuinely enjoyed an activity. My youngest is always wanting to go Monday- Friday. My schedule can be a little crazy at times so the fact they have classes everyday alternating everyday between the time for jujitsu and Muay Thai is awesome because it helps with my work schedule. I also tried their free trial and now it has become a family activity. We are so happy to have came here. Everyone is also so sweet, helpful and informative wish there was more than just five stars to give they would get them all

My son has been coming here since it opened in September 2024. If you’re looking for a gym where you want to learn jiu jitsu, Muay Thai or just have a great workout experience I definitely recommend Iron Army Academy. The atmosphere is so relaxed and not like most gyms. They are wonderful with the kids. Very understanding and really take the time to teach them and practice the techniques in jiu jitsu and Muay Thai. Along with how to be respectful to each other. The improvement in my son since September has been amazing!! We are so glad we joined!

Great clean gym to train at! Awesome atmosphere.

We signed up our 6 year old son and he is THRIVING!!!! 6 years old and he’s being trained in Brazilian JiuJitsu by a world champ. Frankie cares about all levels and all ages and he truly puts in the work to help his students succeed especially the little guys. All of the coaches have been so wonderful and extremely patient. Frankie’s wife Renee is always welcoming at the desk and knows everyone as well. My son is already more confident and looks forward to going every single week. Best decision we’ve made for our son!

Highly recommend, been training since the Iron Academy opened, and I can say confidently that they bring the best environment and technical training. The champ himself is in there everyday along with other high level professors inspiring both the adults and the younger generation. But don’t take my word for it, come try it and feel it for yourself in the greatest town in Jersey, Toms River!
