About

This martial arts gym offers training in MMA and kickboxing disciplines, providing members with a space to develop their skills in these combat sports. The facility includes equipment such as squat racks with deadlift platforms, though some reviews note that machines may require maintenance over extended periods. The gym operates with a community-oriented approach, where long-term members often describe the atmosphere as familial, with friendly staff and patrons contributing to a welcoming environment.

reviewsWhat Members Say

Members describe the gym as having a friendly, family-like community with attentive staff, including a manager named Marisa who receives specific praise. However, multiple reviews express significant concerns about management practices, including substantial price increases without corresponding facility improvements, equipment maintenance issues, and perceived unfair treatment of members. Some former members report feeling disrespected or manipulated by management decisions, contrasting sharply with the positive interpersonal experiences highlighted by others. The gym is noted for being less crowded during peak hours and larger than other locations in its chain.

I’ve been coming to this gym for years now and it’s like a little family. The workers here are very friendly and the other patrons here in the gym are a good community of people! It doesn’t get too busy around rush hour which I love. And this is a relatively big WoW compared to the other ones I’ve been to!

I love this gym. It's clean, plenty of equipment and the staff is friendly. The manager Marisa is awesome, always attentive and say hello to her guests. I'd recommend this gym over any of the other local gyms.

I loved this gym the past 4 years. Most of the staff is awesome, especially my main man who keeps the gym clean every morning. Another who works the desk early mornings with glasses is a close second. Over the course of the four years, they have increased the price of the membership three times, with the most recent increase going from 160 a year to 350 a year. In those four years, the only new equipment has been two squat racks With dead lift platforms. Machines will go unfixed for weeks or months at a time, with rips in the material sometimes almost a year. No justification whatsoever for the cost increase. I probably would have gotten over the price increase if it were not for what I heard the manager say after I tried to inquire about being grandfathered in at my current price. Another member overheard her telling a coworker that she was going to “get me“. As in she was going to convince me to pay the 350. For me, that was the last nail in the coffin. I had spoken with this manager for years prior to her receiving her managerial role. I would extend advice and even counsel her when she was breaking down in tears over some personal matters. To say something like that just revealed her true nature. Fake. I’ll never step foot in this gym again.

IF you were gonna read a review on an establishment, read this one's! Not only will they stab you in the back after accepting unpaid help but they will also penalize and ban you for doing something THE EMPLOYEES make you think is fine to do!! Find another gym, this one will not respect you for choosing them.

Pretty crazy to allow unpaid work of another individual, allow them to help you both in service and In sale only to kick them out revoking their membership despite their long dedication to the business solely for taking pictures in an area where employees were also seen taking photos- yet consequences are singled out to one person. Based on the reviews in pricing alone, probably avoid this one. Doesn't sound like management has anyone's best interest and only cares about profits.
