I think there is a misconception joining a dojo, gym, etc. From the initial free class you’re greeted by the staff and the students and honestly it feels like family. Excellent instruction, great life saving skills, cardio, explanation and the list goes on. Definitely check them out you won’t be sorry, I would give them 10 stars if I could.

As someone with previous martial arts experience and newly relocated from California, finding the right academy in Florida was very important to me—and New World Self Defense Fitness has exceeded all expectations. The instructors are highly knowledgeable, patient, and truly committed to helping every student grow. The training is authentic, challenging, and well-structured, blending real self-defense techniques with solid conditioning. The environment is welcoming, and even as a newcomer, I immediately felt part of the team. If you're looking for high-quality martial arts training in Fort Myers—whether you're a beginner or have years of experience—this academy is a hidden gem. I’m incredibly grateful to have found it and highly recommend it to anyone serious about improving their skills and fitness. 🥋💪

My Success Story & Testimonial:Joining New World gym was one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself. As a busy mom and working professional, I needed a place where I could focus on me—somewhere I could get stronger, learn new skills, and improve my confidence. This gym was exactly what I was looking for.From day one, I felt welcomed by the coaches and community here. The space is always clean, and the energy is unbeatable. The coaches are truly incredible; they guide you at every step, whether you’re a complete beginner or working your way up to advanced levels. They helped me push my physical limits and discover strength I never knew I had.Since training here, I feel fitter, faster, and ready to take on challenges both inside and outside the gym. I have an improved sense of self-esteem, confidence, and, most importantly, the ability to protect myself and my loved ones if the need ever arises. And beyond the training, the community is full of genuinely supportive and cool people who make every session enjoyable.If you’re hesitating, remember: Strength doesn’t come from what you can do; it comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t. I’m endlessly grateful for the coaches here at New World who believed in me and helped me believe in myself. Thank you!Update: 2025we have since joined the teen program. It is a great initiative for teens to keep healthy and have skills that can be with them for life. My teen enjoys it and the coaches are so helpful and encouraging. 5 star gym! -C.K

An incredible place for self improvement and growth. I highly recommend this place especially if you’re looking to get into better shape and find individuals who are like-minded. Everything offered here is taught by some of the greatest practitioners I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.

This place is amazing! I started about 2 months ago and absolutely love it here! All the coaches are hilarious and friendly. I can literally walk up to anyone in the gym and start up a conversation. It’s like one big family there that grows with new people every week. The classes are super fun, with different moves and holds the coaches teach. It’s a lot of work, and I leave every class more tired than the last. But I feel I’ve made a lot of progress already! Everyone is there to help, no one makes you feel bad for messing something up or not understanding a certain move. I got my dad to join the gym as well, and he’s like a kid in a candy store there. He absolutely loves it, he comes alive when he’s there. I’d recommend this place to everyone and their grandma

Everyone is extremely friendly and more than willing to help you learn. I was very nervous to come at first, but it has been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I wouldn’t trade this experience for the world.
