I came to the gym casually but have had so much fun in the classes that I can't help but get more into it. The gym is traditional and full of expertise so there is a lot of room for growth.

My overall striking and grappling have improved because of this gym and I plan to train here as much as I can. Thanks CSA!

From day one, they made me feel welcomed, encouraged, and capable--no matter my fitness level. The coaching is top-notch: they pay attention, help with form, push you when you need it, and support you when you don't think you can keep going. The community is just as amazing. Everyone is supportive, motivating, and genuinely happy to see you succeed. This isn't just a CrossFit gym--it's a place that helps you build confidence, discipline, and a better version of yourself 100%. If you're on the fence, stop thinking and just show up. It worked for me, and it can work for you too

Unfortunately, one of the staff members -- a heavier-set guy with glasses -- came across as rude and dismissive toward me, which made the experience uncomfortable. As a beginner, first impressions matter a lot, and instead of feeling welcomed I felt talked down to. The head coach himself seemed respectful, which is why I'm leaving this review honestly instead of just writing the whole gym off. I just think new people should be treated with more patience and respect, especially when they're stepping out of their comfort zone to try something new.

It's common for people to look around confused, unsure of how to perform the long combo shown. In maybe half the classes, though, additional instructors might occasionally come around to give tips. Compared to other gyms, the culture is notably less welcoming. I think the worst part though, is that some of the staff is oddly rude and sometimes aggressive. The only time I received a lasting injury in around 2 years of combat sports sparring was when a staff member here suddenly threw dangerous unpadded knees to my rib cage during a light spar. There are some parts of the gym that are nice. The head instructors, for example, are very kind and knowledgeable, and the place is usually pretty clean.

Here are the reasons why I enjoy this gym: The coaches are very experienced, encouraging and personable. They will personally correct your moves so you can improve your techniques. For me, that is what separates them from some other boxing chains around here. Additionally, the coaches switch up the curriculum so you don't get bored! They also do pad works with you in addition to pad work with other gym goers. This is so much better than just punching bags because it is way more dynamic and realistic. I really like the variety of classes here. They don't have too many time slots yet but I like there are Muay Thai classes, pad and bag combination workshops, boxing bootcamps and also Jr Muay Thai classes that my son loves. Did I mention Kids classes are the cutest!? All the coaches offer personal training too so if the timing does not work, you have the option of booking your private time. I highly recommend coach AJ, Joni and Monica! Last but not the least, I like the smaller-size class format so we can all get a good amount of attention from coaches. I forgot to mention, the music during class here is the best. It really keeps you going while sweating like crazy. If you want to get in shape or learn muay Thai, make sure you check out Boxstarz!

From the…read moremoment we started, it's been clear how much care and dedication goes into working with the kids. Coach Matt and Coach T.G. have both been amazing. They truly take their time with the kids and strike the perfect balance between being kind, encouraging, and maintaining the discipline that martial arts requires. The structure they create teaches the kids respect, focus, and accountability, while still making the classes fun and engaging. One thing I really appreciate is how they foster a team environment in what is technically an individual sport. The kids learn to support each other, celebrate each other's progress, and grow together. That's something really special. The facility itself is also very nice and always clean, which makes it even more enjoyable for our family to spend time there. A heartfelt thank you to Coach Matt and Coach T.G. for the time, patience, and passion you bring to the kids every day. We truly appreciate you and everything you do. Highly recommend CSA Gym.

I think there are too many kids with different status (beginner vs advanced) and age ranges 4-16. When they broke into drills there was an instructor showing the 6 (ish) year olds the drill and then walked over to the older kids with another instructor. I was baffled. How do you leave little ones to do a partnered hitting drill by themselves? There were 5-6 instructors but they seemed to talk amongst themselves and not demonstrate or monitor the kids. Sandy stated they have students completing their degrees, who need hours coaching. So basically, volunteers who don't care. I'll keep my money. They need to reevaluate their business model and hire dedicated coaches.
