So they come without an agenda and the class unfolds in the moment. The studio space is very small thus I almost hesitate to write a stellar review as I'm concerned that the classes with grow TOO much and we'll be too crowded; but then again, in India the matts are touching one another so I suppose we'd learn to make it work without smashing one's neighbor accidentally in the face ;) I love this studio!

I absolutely love this gym and the coaches. The workouts are insane and I would burn between 400 - 600 calories per class (Per my Fitbit and per my age, sex, and weight). The coaches are super supportive and encourage you to push a little bit harder than you normally would. I'm also a little biased because I met the love of my life at this gym. (Thank you ILKB!) My honey and I had to leave the gym because our financial goals required more cost savings. We always talk about going back when our income improves. It is our GOAL to come back here because that is how awesome they are. SIGN UP!

The atmosphere is very welcoming, friendly, and relaxed. All ages and sizes are encouraged to attend and the instruction is second to none. The dojo has become like my second home. O'Hara Sensei brings over 18 years of martial arts training to bear. And, while his advanced training can be very practical and precise, he encourages all students to explore and find their own "AiKi" methods. In the end, Aikido is about improving yourself. From the first day I have been learning and I continue to learn more with every class. This summer, Fort Collins Aikikai is actually providing FREE classes on Tuesdays. This is an extraordinary opportunity for anyone who has been curious about self-defense but, maybe, has been deterred by the cost. The only detractor is that the practice space is a little difficult to find. We work out in a community space that is not well marked located next to Fusion Massage. There is another Aikido dojo just around the corner with a HUGE sign. That is the wrong place. The dojo does NOT face Mason St. It is located in the parking lot complex that contains the Foundations Music School. This is NOT "Aikido of Fort Collins"! Fort Collins Aikikai is not a business. It is an Aikido club, made up of individuals who are interested in learning and sharing the philosophy and art of Aikido.
