Don't let the frou-frou surroundings fool you... this is a large well-equipped facility filled with all things meathead. Abundant bodybuilding machines, free weights and cardio equipment. It doesn't seem like you'll have to fight over working out in this place; but truth be told, I didn't come during primetime. This place also has a swimming pool and large coed hot tub (people fecal mover). Locker rooms are roomy and clean. Friendly people willing to spot you if you need one. If I lived in Dalton... this would be the place I would train. Solid.

Mostly Great Place…read more I want to do 3.5 stars but it's not an option. 3 is mean but 4 is high. I was going to do 4 to be nice, but I'm pretty disappointed in how things went. I enrolled my 4 year old son in The Little Tigers program 8 months ago or so. It's a cool program for the little ones who are not ready for the older kid classes. They combine learning the simple moves with fun and games and kids love it! He got his white belt with orange stripe in this group. Now my son has a yellow belt in the kids class and he loves martial arts 9 out of 10 days when he isn't tired or in a mood like all kids. Sundays he is sad when we don't go. My boy enjoys learning Bo Staff and Nunchucks Saturdays in weapons class. The instructors make it a fun learning experience for the kids and I took the parent orientation 8 days course here and did a couple weapons classes too. Remarkable Instructors exist here, I don't remember all the instructors names but the ones who stick out most are: Mister Tony is in my opinion the most caring instructor anyone could imagine with the kids. Kid patience and honest caring is so impressive to me. He is not only a credit to his parents but this studio! Mister Christian is another super friendly instructor with a fun personality. Master Brandon has a great personality and makes things with him enjoyable. He is a good people person and knowledgeable as a master. Master Seo has many accolades but I rarely have interactions with him. He takes time with the kids really well when they have trouble. I don't know enough to say more than that about him. Mr. Wood is one degree from master and I really like him. He is a friendly instructor and nice guy from out interactions for sure. I like the young instructor with the really long hair too who teaches weapons. I don't remember his name though. Great instructors make learning not only easier but more fun overall! The only negatives I experienced were enough to cause me to take my son to a new school. Master Colton seemed like a nice young master in the beginning but then shifted to in my opinion far less friendly and difficult. He was good with the kids, but not with this dad. He took me aside politely a couple times to talk about my son's experiences and I appreciated it. Then one day Master Colton decided our unlimited classes contract was not actually unlimited anymore and said he only wanted my son in one class per day. His reasoning teetered between him saying he didn't want me my to burn out and that nobody else goes that much. The definition of unlimited is no limits so whatever the underlying issue with him and myself is, I don't know. Contract canceled then. I let my son do his 6 days a week one class a day and then choose if he wants to do a second class. He often wants to stay since all his friends are here and he wants to be with them. If you want to rationalize or talk something out with Master Colton my experience is that he will only listen to "be polite" but then just stick with whatever he said but explain it a couple more times.

I can not tell you how much my daughter loved her instructor..... unfortunately the manager of this place seems shady. High, high pressure to sign up and commit to either one, two or three years. You can't take a class unless you make some kind of irrevocable commitment (what happens if you move? Your child falls ill??). I decided to commit" to six months to see how she juggled it with work and school only to find out (because she took a two week trial class) that we couldn't because we weren't new clients.... we would have to take a 1,2,or 3 year commitment..... So sad as this was a great place. I don't feel good about this kind of situation at all.

We played a few of the fields and they were all cool in their own way. We had paintballs left afterwards. I recommend wearing thick clothing, even though you will sweat.

The only thing I did not like about is that they only have a couple of porta potties. It would have been nice to have a place to wash our hands.

We came yesterday and I genuinely can't stop thinking about how special it was…read more I called last minute in the afternoon after my little one woke up from his nap, not really expecting much -- but they fit us in that same day. From the moment we arrived, Ray made us feel so welcome. He had the horse ready for us, walked us through everything, and was so patient and attentive making sure my little one felt safe and comfortable the whole ride. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does. What we didn't expect was everything that came after. We got to explore the petting zoo, meet the farm animals, and then a staff member came over and introduced us to a baby goat that was only a few days old, my little one's face was absolutely priceless. And then the moment that made this visit truly unforgettable, while my son was laughing away on the horse shaped tire swing, I glanced over and noticed a wobbly little goat behind us. Turns out we were witnessing a mama goat giving birth right there in front of us. Completely unplanned, totally magical. My little one got a nature lesson he'll probably never forget. This place has the most wonderful energy and the staff clearly care deeply about both the animals and their guests. We will absolutely be back. Highly recommend!
