How to sign up for your free week:
1. Click HERE to register. Note: Make sure the button at top is set for Visitor. There is no charge and no credit card requirement.
2. You will receive an email from us; please respond to the email to set up a time and date for your first class. Unless you have significant experience, it’s best to start with a fundamentals class; these run from 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. each weekday. You can start with any class, as your schedule and interests dictate:
•Monday, no-gi jiu-jitsu
•Tuesday, MMA
•Wednesday, wrestling/jiu-jitsu
•Thursday, kickboxing
•Friday, no-gi jiu-jitsu.
Please try to show up around 15 minutes early to familiarize yourself with NESF via a brief tour. Let the front desk know your name, and that you are starting your free trial. If you’re feeling a little nervous about attending your first class, that’s normal. However, the gym vibe is friendly and welcoming.

The free week at NESF is not a deceptive marketing gimmick. A notorious bad practice in the gym business is advertising a “free” week to get customers in the door, and then offering a one-time “discount” to not actually try the place out but instead pay up on the spot. At NESF, before paying a nickel, we want you to try out some classes, see if the fit is right for you, and then make the right, informed choice.
That said, some people have developed a genuine familiarity with NESF through friends who are members, or have enough experience in the jiu-jitsu and MMA space to know simply by observing a class that it’s where they want to train. If that’s the case, and you want to skip the free week, you can enroll HERE, and you get a free rash guard.
If you have any further questions or concerns whatsoever about the FREE Week or any other relevant subject, please reach out to the Student Coordinator HERE.
