    This is a review/warning for any mothers who are looking to get your kids into martial arts. I am not the first parent to complain and I won't be the last. We were members at Fighting Chance Fitness for 2 years, we did not "drift in", two years invested with zero complaints. Until there was a new management and coaching "style". The owners son (shown below) was beyond disrespectful and unprofessional. Poor behavior for a human being in general. After today I truly don't want any parent or child to endure this treatment from an establishment that you've trusted your child with. My child is not perfect, that I am aware... but this grown man went beyond any sort of "constructive criticism" straight to cruel, hateful, disrespectful words and name calling of a 7 year old boy. They're pushing out anyone who prefers the previous coaching to this new coaching which is subpar and not effective for children. Calling a woman a loser, and a 7 year old child a baby... wow, what a man. Luckily onlookers sent me screen shots since they were so appalled, before he tried to delete all of them from his post. Also please read all of this before jumping to conclusions, he is not truthful in his comments and quickly deleted the screen shots of what he said about my son and how disrespectful he was. Those screenshots are included below as well. Since I can't leave a review on their page... Fighting Chance Fitness is no longer the gym we've grown to know and love. Change in coaching has resulted in high class numbers and low quality. As a patron of the business, you are not allowed to criticize or question ANYTHING, or your child will be picked apart for paragraphs on end.. Unwarranted and unnecessarily unprofessional. ***A simple question "can my son move to the older class", (to actually learn something, as the little kids class is now simon says and standing around mostly) a simple "No"would of been just fine, not a 5 paragraph dissection of a 7 year old.. some of which I would agree with, most not so much. As a homeschool mother I see my children and their flaws in detail daily.. there is a fine line between constructive criticism and tearing down a small child in order to make yourself feel important. Followed by a grown man boasting himself up and telling of all of his accomplishments (as narcissists do) Other mothers from the gym have messaged me saying his accusations were outrageous because they've never seen bad behavior from my child. Again he's not perfect but he's truly a respectful kid especially at class. So this "man's" outrage which was aimed at me but targeted a 7 yo boy! Simply because the content of the class was no longer at the high level it was before, so I inquired(as consumers usually do) Followed the next day by a post to the entire gym, basically saying my family was too weak for his gym. The disrespect and arrogance that the "leader" of this gym showed was disgusting and I was truly not expecting it. Then to receive an email from his mother, the owner, that your membership is cancelled even thoughI have an older child in a separate class that wasn't even mentioned in this particular encounter. Sad that we have given them our time and money but will take the skills we've learned and move forward. I have referred many to this gym but will no longer be doing so. Beware of those who tell you how great they are; a lion doesn't have to tell you that they're a lion... Fighting Chance Fitness Kids Fighting Chance Fitness

    This gym is relatively new, has a large open area for training, is clean, bright and air conditioned. There were a lot of different bags and pads to utilize for kicking, ground n pound and boxing. The staff here teaches Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Kid Jitsu and MMA (mixed martial arts) techniques and conditioning. I think this would be a good spot for someone who wanted to get the fundamentals of MMA, some good sparring practice in an authentic ring and the conditioning for this program is effective. The training staff seems good, although a little quiet and there is a very high emphasis on being effective yet humble. Each student at the end of class shakes the instructors hand and subsequently each of the additional students hand as a sign of respect. I really liked this aspect of what could be considered a tough-guy sport. Rates are set up like a gym at around $110.00 for all access class times. Very good pricing for this kind of training.

    I met Tim Doughtry, co-owner of Invictus Sports Performance quite by accident. The door was open…read moreto the facility and I poked my head in thinking it was a different business. I had my son with me who only moments ago had been discussing fitness improvements to boost his rugby performance over the off-season. Hmmmnnn...how ironic we would run into Tim only minutes later. Invictus has an incredible sports training program centralized on an individual's needs. Want speed? Tim has a program and trainer to boost your speed. Want more endurance? The program described to my son and I seemed like a phenomenal solution. Want to build muscle mass? Tim explained they have nutrition class to accompany that program as well. Want to lose weight? Trust me, by what I witness in their facility, there is no way not to do so. Each person gets a specific program based on their very specific needs at Invictus. And let me tell you Tim and his staff are incredibly passionate about their educational offerings and coaching, emphasizing strongly how do implement these programs in the right way. Currently, Invictus is training a local La Crosse and basketball team. I am truly impressed with not only Tim and his fellow instructors, but with the individualized performance programs that they are customizing for each patron. Amazing stuff! Give Tim a call and ask to have a free session with him and his crew. If you are looking to make your game, whatever that may be, better, this is definitely the place to go!!

    Amazing fitness program! I was looking for something to get back into shape after a couple kiddos…read moreand really challenge me. Capstone Fitness is just that! Christina and Ben are fantastic trainers that take the time to make sure your form is right and push you to get stronger. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND for any fitness level. They will individualize the workout for what is needed. I love that there is a trial week option to check it out. I have been here for a year, and everyone who does the trial ends up signing up for a membership. It is tough but very rewarding - I see results in my body and feel stronger with each workout.

    Where do I even begin! Capstone has been the best gym I've been to and has helped me get in the…read morebest shape of my life. Not many gyms have a 5:30 am class which is convenient for my schedule! I love the people, the trainers, and the workouts, it is seriously like a family! The CUT by Capstone program helped transform my body to something I didn't think was possible. They taught me one way of healthy eating, which made a huge difference in the way I look and feel. Capstone trainers take the time to show you the proper form and technique and they push you to higher limits! Christina helped prepare me for my first Bikini competition and I can't thank her enough! Her knowledge and patience were critical during my competition prep. This gym is by far the best out there! I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to transform their body and take it to the next level!
