Inferno Fitness & Martial Arts

📖Meet Coach Sophia 🥋
Coach Sophia started as a student around Covid at our Rogers/Pleasant Grove location and has been a rockstar ever since 🌟
Training with us through Covid is a big feat and it really shows with Coach Sophia. She has climbed the ranks and has gone through multiple tests to receive her Inferno 1st Degree Junior Black Belt and now paints her fingernails black💅🏻 to remind herself that she can get through anything. She's coming up soon on her Senior Black Belt and we can't wait to cheer her on!
🥋Although her black belt is a major part of her Inferno career, she has found a major love for Jiu Jitsu. She's gone through kids ranks and is now rocking her Adult Blue Belt while hitting scissor sweeps and omoplatas.
Since coaching with us, Coach Sophia has found that she loves empowering the kids and being a major role model for all of the girls in class so much so that some of the teen girls paint their nails black with her to know they can do anything too. Recently, Rogers has started a 3 and 4 year old age class and she says it's one of her favorite parts of her day! Keep your hands up during kickboxing though because she carries around a red foam sword and will hit you to the beat of any song off of the Twenty-One Pilots Blurryface album. She may seem sweet but crazy in class but she's actually super chill. If you ever see her outside the gym, it's probably with her nose in a really good book 📖
We love having Sophia as a coach! She brings the can-do attitude every time 💪

Big Class or Small Class... We have them all !

You can go to any of the 5 locations. Grab a 6am class or jump into a day class or hit the night classes, regardless you will have a great time with great training partners!

Kids Jiu Jitsu Program details

Our kids train brazilian jiu jitsu to learn how to defend themselves on the ground. They will learn takedowns, submissions, sweeps and even how to compete in competitions! The kids have a great time during free roll and learn how to be great partners.

It's more than just martial arts 🥋
The techniques matter but the lessons learned and community built matter even more 💪

If you're willing to learn, we are there to teach 🥋
The only thing stopping you is you

💥Meet Coach Joe 💥
If you're from the area, you've probably heard the name Joseph Pianalto. He's one of our head coaches at the Springdale location and always brings the heat
Coach Joe might look intimidating in person, and we wouldn't want to get on this old pro-fighter's bad side, but he's only mean in the cage otherwise he's a big softy🧸
🥊So far, most of our higher-level coaches have chosen BJJ as their favorite discipline they train and teach but Coach Joe is one of the odd ones out with his favorite being striking which makes sense; he has his 4th-degree Inferno Black Belt and has his 1st degree BJJ Black Belt 🥋
Everyone has a favorite technique from arm bars, to chokes, to take-downs and Coach Joe's is whatever works. Stay sharp, you'll never know what he'll try to do
Coach Joe has seen many students come and go through our program that has listened to him play Party In The USA by Miley Cyrus during a class or many and his favorite part about coaching has probably evolved over the years, but he says he loves helping people learn they are way more capable and resilient than they think they are
He dedicated a majority of his time to the gym but if you catch him elsewhere, he's most likely saying "here fishy, fishy, fishy" with a pole in the water🎣, hanging out with his family and friends, or both at the same time
If you train with Coach Joe you already know he brings the precision, technique, and fire to every class 🔥🔥🔥

Trying is where it all starts and failure is a part of the journey
Don't let fear stop you 💪🔥
