The class was fun and everyone, coaches and students alike were friendly and helpful. I definitely understand my weak points better and what I should begin to focus on and prioritize.

Honestly was disappointed with how unorganized things are... My girlfriend and I arrived early like recommended and were left to guess at what to do upon arrival. There was no direction or anyone who looked like they wanted to speak to us to offer help. Not one person greeted us or asked if we had been there before and yet I kept hearing every person that came in after us get a hello or greeted by name. Was pretty off putting as the same people were standing in the front entrance the entire time. As a black man I'm pretty used to feeling invisible in white spaces and unfortunately this was one of those cases. For this reason we decided to leave as the vibe of the gym did not align with what we are comfortable nor did we want to continue to spend our Saturday in a place we felt unwelcome.

This was my first cardio kickboxing class with Leroy. I had so much fun and the music and the vibe was perfect. I really like the facilities and no pressure. I'm excited about trying some of their other classes but cardio kickboxing was definitely two thumbs up and will definitely do it again.

Oh, I couldn’t recommend this gym more!! the Cardio kickboxing program was the best work out I’ve had probably ever. I used to go to other generic gyms and try to walk treadmills and stuff, but it was never THIS satisfying. This was an amazing work out, and I’m not very active at all. The trainer (and everyone, really.) was amazing and super encouraging. I’ve never kick boxed before, but I’m definitely coming back!! Their 3 day free trial is an absolutely amazing deal!! Make sure to bring a water bottle! Also thank you to Patrick for being nice and answering my questions!!! I’d recommend this gym a thousand times over.

I signed up for 3 free trial classes. There was no catch, no hard sell or pressure. Just a great class with a lot of accommodating people. Being new and out of shape I was worried I may be met with some disdain but nothing could be further from the truth. The instructor was informative and the partner he paired me with was incredibly patient. I would highly recommend that anyone thinking about giving some form of martial arts a try to do it here. I will be coming back to finish my remaining 2 free classes. And will be continuing on after that. The pricing is extremely reasonable and, the classes are flexible, and it's a great workout.
