I first walked through the gym doors in March to learn something new and for a fun and engaging way to get exercise. I stay for the community and for improving myself each time I show up and push myself. Everyone at Recon is there to become better versions of themselves, and to help each other along the way. Iron sharpens iron. It's an incredible environment, and I'm so glad that I have made Recon a part of my life.

Recon is more than just a gym, it's a family. Not only have I been pushed beyond my limits and out of my comfort zone, I have been welcomed with such warmth since day one. I love the wide variety of classes and the enthusiasm of every coach. I started at Recon to accelerate my postpartum journey and to my surprise it was one of the greatest transformations my body (and mind) has ever gone through. I'm now two months postpartum again and back at it. Whether you are a beginner or seasoned athlete, Recon is for you!

Had a lot of fun at the boxing class today. Came all the way from Chicago and can say this is one of the best gyms I’ve been to yet. Everyone was very inviting; the gym had a family and friends feel to it. My instructor Henry focused on each one of his students giving them tips to improve their boxing. You can tell that the coaches and students here are in it for the passion. The drills we did were beneficial for all levels from beginners to fighters. Overall A+ experience! I recommend this gym to anyone that is looking to level up their MMA or even just get a nice sweat in. If I ever travel back to Maine I will definitely return.

Came in as a complete beginner with only a background in Taekwondo. I was immediately welcomed in by all coaches and people in the gym from the first day and began improving immediately. Outside of the culture, the best part of the gym is that if you put your head down and prove that you are there to grind and shed sweat and blood, you'll be taken in like a family member. Darren and Henry do an incredible job along with all other coaches - there are few better gyms out there that have perfected the balance of cultivating an environment of hard work/grit and genuine love/support. If you're looking to become a person trained in skilled violence or improve upon a solid base, there is no better gym than Recon.

Recon is unlike other gyms, and that’s what makes it such an amazing place. From the moment you walk in the door, you are treated like you belong, because to them, you do. Whether you are a COMPLETE beginner looking for someone to guide you through working out for the first time ever, are training professionally, or somewhere in between, Recon has a class for you. They even have a kids program! The coaches are some of the best in their field, and encourage everyone to push themselves while having fun. No two classes are the same, and you will walk out with a sense of accomplishment, some great technique and a lot of sweat. There is no other gym that can even compare to what you get here. Recon is more than a gym, they are a family, and when you walk through their doors, you become a part of that family. I cannot recommend them enough!
