They meet you where you are and encourage you to be your best, whether child, adult, or senior. They are like family, and I'm so happy to be a part of it!

I'm still very new to this gym but am loving it so far. I signed up for the trial month which I…read morethink is $67 and includes gloves and wraps. A few things I appreciate about this specific gym: 1. Personal greetings from the trainers and receiving occasional texts checking in. Accountability is key and it really helps me when I feel like I have someone who helps hold me accountable to my goals. 2. The gym is small but never really feels crowded because of how fast each round goes by. The 3 minutes in each round with a small break in between helps the workouts feel super manageable. 3. The workouts change every day and I know that even though it's 30 minutes, I'm getting a GREAT workout. I've been feeling sore (in a good way) as my body adjusts to this. And because it's only 30 minutes it's very easy to work into your schedule. 4. You can go as many times as you want during their open hours which is stellar. 5. I've met Mindy and Sadie and they are both wonderful! Looking forward to my next workout!

9round is a HIIT gym with a focus on kick boxing. There are 9 rounds each 3 minutes long and a 30…read moresecond active rest break between. You're able to get a great workout in 30 minutes, I'll typically get around 400 calories per round but have gotten up to the 600's depending on the day. The workouts change each day so you'll be able to get something different each day. 6 out of the 9 rounds will use bags and the others are a jump rope, core, and free weights. Kickboxing is a great workout overall and I can't emphasis enough the stress relief it'll provide! The workout will hit a little bit of everything with arms, legs, and core. There are no class times so you'll be able to come in whenever it's open. The hours vary but typically will be open early in the morning and later in the evening. I will say what gives this gym 5 stars is the 2 primary trainers there, Sadie and Savannah. Although they are younger l, it's clear they have a strong interest in the field and wanting to help you achieve your fitness goals. They quickly offer easier alternatives for injuries and more challenging progressions if you want to repeat the cycle a 2nd time. They also are very good with feedback on proper boxing techniques as well.

This place was very disappointing!! Their 8 week boot camp was not professional, nor was their…read morebusiness. There were so many flaws but ill try to make this short. 1) 30 min class. They rushed warm up and did not cool down or stretch! As soon as class was done, your off the mat and they move to the next class. 2) the place is tiny, so no room to stretch on your own. So the most vital part of a work out was not even an option! 3) The class offered workouts 6 days a week. In the first 3 weeks, It was only open 6 full days be cause of 1 holiday 1 event 1 sick instructor, then their heating was out for the remainder. 4) Through this time of many closings, I never received one notice through any form of communication! You can imagine my frustration when I would show up. 5)After lots of patience, By week 3, I was over it! and politely asked for a full refund, since I only attended 4 of the 6 full days and was not getting results I payed $225. for. They blamed me for some of the communication problems, and said they will only refund $132. There's more, but I'm sure you get the point.

I originally joined IMAC in 2008. I was 18 years old and my doctor had just dropped the bomb that I…read morewas officially "obese." Not knowing what to do, I began searching for something fitness related that wouldn't make me feel like a hamster on a wheel; I found Indianapolis Martial Arts Club. It was/is a workout that is both physically challenging and fun. I had to end my membership after the first year, because I went out of state for school, but I always remembered strenuous but enjoyable workouts. June of 2016 I joined once again, this time my Mom did too. We've been learning together in a way that strengthens our relationship and our muscles! Ray, James, and Stephanie are full of encouraging advice on how to improve your form and get strong. They're constantly challenging you to be better than you were before, and you will receive a lot of personal attention for improvement. It's not just a workout, its learning a SKILL, and they've studied it for years. My advice would be to give it a try, but understand your budget. Quality education requires a time commitment and a financial commitment. Make sure you're ready for both, and have fun.

after leaving the review below he threatened to sue me again and everyone else who left their gym a…read more1 star google review and said he is working closely with google for isp addresses to sue each person clearly yelp has more transparency when leaving reviews compared to google. So before I started cancer treatment my son went to Sarkine's Total Warrior now Indianapolis Martial Arts Club on west Washington St. ran by James and Ray (the owner) well I was sick and not working and not able to afford to keep paying them, so I let them know I needed to cancel! I explained my medical issue before knowing I had cancer I was just extremely sick everyday with no explanation. They advised to cancel in writing so I did that. They sent me a letter and I returned the remaining things to cancel. I hear nothing back they don't reach out about lack of payment lack of attendance anything. Then while I'm sick and fighting for my life literally they sue me over a contract that I cancelled. I missed court due to being sick, they garnish my wages once I start working. Then I am rediagnosed and unable to work and have no income this gym hires and attorney to attempt to get more money. I explain my current terminal cancer diagnoses and that I'm not working and that I had cancelled the contract. Today they levied my account for almost $5,000. This gym has predatory business values to say the least so if you ever have considered doing business with Ray or James please be aware of their true human nature. They will be getting a 1 star review from me and I would appreciate any assistance to shed light on the type of business they run. They also have a secondary location off Allisonville Rd. Please leave them a 1 start google review they need to feel this in their pockets too I'm definitely not the only one they have done this too!!!!!

My ninja-obsessed 7 year old son had been begging us to sign him up for karate lessons, so we…read morecalled this local studio to set up an intro lesson. Neither my husband nor I ever took karate, so we were not sure what to expect. Sensei Ken Piper quickly accommodated us and spent an hour with us describing the program and costs, and then provided a demo lesson to show our son what would be expected during a class. Our son loved it so much we signed him (and his older brother) up. Both have been attending for nearly a year now and are now orange belts. We appreciate that not only are they learning various forms of karate (basics, sparring, kata), but they are also learning self-discipline and respect. They have taken the lessons from the dojo to their classroom and home. Pricing is very affordable, especially for parents considering joining along with their children. Packages are available from 1 lesson a week to unlimited classes. Special add-on lessons (weapons and seminars) are also available. The schedule is very convenient with evening and Saturday classes. Beginners can move through their first few belts within their first year which is encouraging. The Senseis are very patient with all ages and abilities, and a typical class usually has a diverse group of 10-15 students ages 7 years old to 50. Safety and hygiene are also emphasized, especially mid-pandemic. The facility is good and there is plenty of space for classes and overflow seating for spectators. The studio recently remodeled their waiting area. The studio's goal is for every student to reach Black Belt within a few years, so we hope to stay that long!

My 4 year old daughter discovered the Power Rangers on Netflix and got really interested in Martial…read moreArts. My wife and I decided to let her do some trial classes nearby at Mr. Piper's Family Karate Academy. All of the instructors we met were very kind and respectful. It was instantly visible that all of the kids looked up to and respected the staff at this school! The classes were fun and my daughter always enjoyed attending. She never fussed about going to class. Not even once! Which speaks volumes for a 4 year old! They do a great job teaching respect, discipline, manners, being humble... etc. (the whole karate thing!) I started my own martial arts journey nearly 14 years ago at another karate school in my hometown of Mooresville, IN. Not to the fault of Mr. Piper or any of his instructors, I ultimately made the personal decision to resume classes (now with my daughter) at my hometown dojo. I would like to thank Mr. Piper for re-igniting the passion I once had for martial arts by enthralling my daughter into the karate lifestyle! I would definitely recommend Mr. Piper's Family Karate Academy to anyone who is interested in becoming a martial artist!

It was a gym, weights, floor pressess, squat racks, dumbbells up to 150 lbs fat bars, chains and some really good machines. It was neither a powerlifting gym or body building. It was designed for all kinds of training for all ages and very welcoming. Yes there are some broken and used equipment, but that describes me! After 40 years of powerlifting this was a refreshing change to the fitness gyms of today. I felt at home. This from a contributor to powerlifting USA hardcore gyms. Thanks for a great workout.

It's definitely not as well kept as some of the other gyms in the area, but it has it's own charm. The gym has a good amount of free weights, machines and cardio equipment. Unfortunately, most of it is really old, and they're short on bars sometimes. Still, I have never had a problem with the equipment, and despite it's age, it does it's job. There is a separate room with some really heavy weights for the hardcore. The clientele skews towards the more hardcore rather than bored housewives. This tends to intimidate some people, but everyone has always been very considerate towards me. It's a good value, only 15 dollars a month if you sign up for an entire year. It's 30 dollars if you sign up on a month by month basis and 75 for 3 months at a time. They also have specials occaionally. You also get unlimited access to tanning and free movie rentals. Yeah, they have free movie rentals for some reason. Judging from the selection, I think they raided a Blockbuster that was going out of business. In other words, it's mostly B-movies with a few new releases and some classics peppered in. My only complaint is the extremely limited child care services. It's basically a small, unsupervised playpen with some toys in it. I don't have kids so this in itself isn't an issue but there's been a few times when some welfare queen will bring her 12 kids to the gym and they end up running amok, playing on equipment and the like. There's no place for that at a gym. Despite this complaint, I've been coming to this place for about a year and I really enjoy it. Don't let's it's run down appearance fool you. Oh yeah, they've also started keeping some old weight lifting magazines from the 80's and 90's around which is pretty amusing.
