It didn't take very long to realize this place is super disorganized and unprofessional. On my…read moresecond time, the person who booked me in gave me the wrong time. The person at the front asked me my name, checked me in and let me go get changed after telling him that it was only my second time. He didn't mention anything about the class already starting. Completely wasted my time changing and getting on the matt just to be told I can't actually join the class. Terrible service, considering I have 2 text messages confirming my booked class for 6:30 when the class was actually at 6:15. The staff didn't even try to accommodate or find a solution to their mistake. Overall terrible experience. If you're looking for an actual kickboxing gym, 10/10 do not recommend this one. You spend 70% of the time either stretching or warming up and the instructors are not very experienced with kickboxing. There's no sparring, just punching bags and beginner level stuff.

My first impression after I was not properly checked for being vaccinated , was shock. The fellow…read moreat the desk had me fill out paperwork based on my health, looked at my vaccine passport and DL but when I asked him if he'd be scanning it it, he laughed and said that the iPAD they had to do that was in use and that he'd do it, later. He literally said to me: "I trust you." I thought...really? Why would you trust a complete stranger when we have many people clearly and openly trying to come into places that they shouldn't when they're unvaccinated - putting other's at risk? I thought this was very unusual seeing as I'm sure these vaccine passports can be faked and weren't they regulated by our government to check it by scanning it to make sure?? I wondered how many others weren't properly checked. This was red flag #1. The class was okay and the woman who was with me during the class showing me the moves was very pleasant and helpful. It was high impact and although I have a back injury, I thought I'd try it, anyway. After the class, I was immediately asked if I wanted to sign up for a gym membership. I told them I needed to see if this was for me, before I could commit. The fellow behind the counter wasn't there to double check that I was vaccinated so I just left. After nearly a week, I thought I'd try it again so I booked my 2nd class but I was having back pain the next day, so I called in the morning and cancelled. When I did so, I was thanked that that that would be the end of it. It wasn't. During that evening, I received an email that said: Thank you for purchasing: Order Information Order Number000107271749Order Date: Nov 2, 2021 05:51 pm Payment Method Account $10.00. I thought: Whaaaat?! They're billing me after I cancelled? I was furious (I'll openly admit that) and when I read: "Thank you for purchasing" I assumed they'd charged my credit card. I was never told about a cancellation charge by anyone and had no idea that this was automated and that I wasn't actually charged. So...I got super mad. I called up and ask them to explain why I was charged and penalized (the email clearly says: Penalty for late cancel or no show visit.1$10.00) when I'd taken the time to cancel that morning. The fellow on the phone apologized and said they'd reverse the charges - again making me think that they'd charged me without asking or letting me know this would be done. I then asked him to take my name and credit card information off of their records as I wouldn't be returning. He said he would and that was the end of the conversation. Was I upset? Hell yes! Did I yell or swear? No, I did not. In fact, in the end I thanked him for his help and hung up. I emailed both their HQ and the gym manager and expressed myself in a way in which upset clients do. I admit, there was a 'tone' but I did not behave in a way that was mean or insulting but said that if they charged all perspective members ever time they cancelled a class with them, that I was surprised that they were still in business. Their HQ did what most businesses do and above and beyond that. They apologized and reimbursed me in full (which I didn't ask for and was happy for them to keep the promotional $40 that I'd initially paid). Then things got ugly. Their Coquitlam Manager, Marissa, emailed me back, first explaining what had happened that this was a miscommunication and that the email was automated and that, no, I wasn't actually charged. Had she left it at this, I would have been fine and thanked her for letting me know. I probably would have even apologized for my 'tone' in the email but what she did next, was unbelievable. She wrote: "Your reaction is ignorant and unnecessary. There are ways of inquiring about business matters maturely and respectfully. We do not need members who aggressively make assumptions and speak to our staff in this way." Firstly, she insults me. How would anyone react to being billed for cancelling a class? When I spoke to the fellow at the gym I said: I just got a charge from you for missing this class as a penalty and I called this morning and cancelled it: can you explain this to me, please?? He asked if I'd cancelled the class (even though I'd just told him I did) and I said, yes! I did! Again, I didn't raise my voice or insult anyone. People get upset; it's a normal reaction to getting charged without being told this would happen. When I responded to her in shock that she'd even say this to me, she kept up the fight and refused to back down - taking what I wrote and incorrectly saying that her staff DID properly check my vaccine passport. Just to be clear, they did not. She could have called me or asked when a good time to chat would be to explain what happened. She did neither and applied her own assumptions, telling me in the end that they didn't want me as a client. I'm okay with that seeing as I'll never go there again. What shocks me is the attitude and unprofessional approach by a "manager".

Coming from a big city my gym is huge and no one really cares and its pack and tons of machines. This is the complete opposite which I totally love. Talking to people here it is like family, everyone know each other and everyone is there to work out not flirt like other locations I have been to. There are a number of people that are more then happy to help you out if you ask. This is a great location and I love it for sure. The owner is also a former Kick Boxer and at the look of him he works out a lot and when someone told me his age I was in complete shock.

My experience has been so overwhelmingly positive that both of my children now attend the MMA classes as well. The gym's greatest asset is the caliber of its coaching, and instructor Sal is a prime example of this excellence. His knowledge is truly top-notch, reflecting a lifetime of dedication to the martial arts. He is incredibly generous with this expertise, and I have consistently found his instruction to be of a very high level. The private lessons I have taken with him were exceptional and significantly accelerated my progress. This sentiment is shared by multiple friends I've recommended to the gym. They have all enjoyed their time there and can't speak highly enough about Sal's skills, abilities, and coaching style. In fact, many were so impressed that they have also undertaken private lessons with him. If you're looking for an opportunity to improve as a person, develop as a martial artist, get in better shape, or build a real knowledge base for self-defense, this is a great gym. For anyone trying to level up their skills, the environment here is second to none.

September 10th I was told I was no longer a member at 30 minute hit by the general manager. October 1st I was still charged, when I reached out to them I was told that my request to cancel my membership did not apply. That's not how the situation was explained to me, nor was I given any notice that "my application to cancel was rejected" prior to being charged, disallowing financial planning on my end. The explanation given to me by the owners is insanely standoffish and just plain unprofessional. I shouldn't have to check in with ownership (whom I've met maybe twice, only once at the actual location), when the staff (specifically your manager) at the gym had told me I am no longer a member. I consider the staff friends who have brought me a long way in my fitness journey and wouldn't expect them to knowingly lead me astray.
