SPRINGFIELD MISSOURI GETS NEW 10,000 SQUARE FOOT MARTIAL ARTS / FITNESS FACILITY

Ground Zero Training Complex offers a blend of
Fitness Bootcamps and Martial Arts Classes

Ground Zero Training Complex in Springfield, Missouri is now open. The facility is Springfield's newest addition to the local Mixed Martial Arts scene. Mixed Martial Arts has been gaining popularity in the region since around 2005 according to Ground Zero owner Eric Stevens.
Stevens originally came on the scene as a fan back in 2005 attending local Mixed Martial Arts competitions commonly referred to as "cagefights". According to Stevens the first time he attended an event he knew he wanted to get involved in the sport. Originally Eric intended to become an event promoter but found himself training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as his first step toward getting involved in the sport.
  In March of 2008 Stevens opened his first gym along with a couple of other local MMA fighters in Nixa, Missouri. As the gym grew the need to be in a bigger market pushed Stevens to open a facility in Springfield. According to Stevens his first gym in Nixa was only the size of a garage and a small office.
  After relocating operations to from Springfield to Nixa, Stevens was able to grow the operation to a 5,000 square foot gym in the heart of Springfield. As the gym grew so did the amount of work and Stevens added some partners to the business. In 2017 Stevens began the process of selling the business to his other partners to pursue a different business model.
  Over the years according to Stevens he came to realize that there was a huge part of the population that wants to exercise and get in shape and would like to try Martial Arts as a way to achieve the goal. However, Stevens says that people are intimidated to go to a "fight gym" for fear of having to fight someone to become a member.

 Fast forward to March of 2019 and Stevens has now opened a 10,000 square foot facility that has more to offer the public than just "cagefighting". Ground Zero Training Complex is also located in the heart of the Springfield Metro Area just off Battlefield on Golden Avenue. The facility offers everything you would expect to find such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes for men and women and martial arts for kids as well as training for would be MMA fighters in addition to a complete setup for boxing training including a boxing ring and a large variety of boxing training equipment.
  Most notable according to Stevens however is the amount of gym area devoted to fitness equipment and the new bootcamp and weight loss programs available at the new facility. Stevens says that he is specifically looking to help people that are looking to lose weight but have struggled reaching their goals.
  According to Stevens there are plans in place to make some major announcements in the month of May regarding new coaching staff for several new programs. The facility is installing equipment to allow its members 24 hour access to the facility as well. Stevens says it will be the first facility in the region to offer 24 hour access to Mixed Martial Arts training.
