Coach Dave Dow, a former Muay Thai fighter, with significant international experience in Thailand…read moreand Japan, teaches students of almost all age ranges (4 and up). I am an adult student. I am a rank beginner, and I got to kick and punch in my first class. Coach Dave is a great instructor. Gentle and firm. He taught me how to put a headlock on one of my classmates who towered over me (well, my classmate was nice enough to bend down a little, too!). He pushes me, and I sweat freely by the end of class, leaving cortisol behind and swimming in endorphins. He manages classes with students of significantly different experience and strength levels. I added Muay Thai classes to my weekly weight training, and the moves--foot work, elbow throws, and knee throws--add so much extra training of my other muscles. They challenge and improve my balance and core and have boosted my physical confidence like crazy. We also spar in class, which I never expected to like, but my classmates are thoughtful and engaged in trying to maintain good form and getting better with our moves - they have all been super helpful in observing my form and providing constructive observations as we spar. I highly recommend Coach Dave Dow's classes. If you live in Murfreesboro, Coach Dave's place is right across from the Lascassas Pike Kroger and right beside Papa John's Pizza.

I stepped down after two & half years of coaching underneath the HoJo Elite / Showtime imprint…read more During that time I coached two of their HoJo Elite travel baseball teams (different age groups) through five fall/summer seasons. I met many amazing players and families during that tenure; a vast majority I still speak with today. Through the ups & downs of wins & loses, the instruction and development remained consistent. The environment I created at practices & games always facilitated the best to come out in players, and their parents took notice. I can truthfully say that every player showed personal growth within their baseball capabilities by each season's end. Unfortunately, after the numerous hours spent on the field, at the facility, and traveling, getting compensated by the program was never easy. I was classified as a "pro coach" by HoJo Elite and paid a coaching stipend for each fall/summer season. I was told the stipend would be paid upon the conclusion of each season. However, it usually arrived two to three months after, if not much later. I was also an employee & private trainer at the Showtime facility as well, and usually lost work availability due to the scheduling demands of coaching their two travel teams. This created a financial situation that was hard to manage. One fall, I was able to request month to month payments of the stipend. This helped out greatly, and I requested the same be done moving forward. The program agreed, and to my unpleasant surprise I received no amount during any of the pay periods promised last season. I sent a cordial response to management that I would be stepping down after the completion of each team's season due to the lack of income I was receiving. Instead of allowing me complete both seasons and receive pay, HoJo Elite removed me from coaching responsibilities. The players and their parents were devastated upon hearing the news. The players wondered why I was abruptly gone all of the sudden. It appeared as though I'd abandoned the players, which was far from the truth. Luckily, this decision did not hinder any friendships I had made with the former players & families. To this day, I still haven't been paid for my coaching over the past season, for either team. My experience with the program was not a pleasant one to say the least. I'm disappointed that the services provided to players in order to development & enhance their performance was striped because management could not support their own. With a price tag that doesn't come cheap for its players & families, I urge caution in what you're truly purchasing. In my experience, the exceptional instruction was not compensated as promised, even after player fees were collected. I hope that's not the case with the other teams. Too often today, facilities oversee numerous youth travel teams solely to collect a dollar amount. They promise you instruction, development, and exposure - but at the end, they're more preoccupied with their overhead. If you are a parent, paying for those very things, I hope the amount you pay for a pro coach is justified and rewarded. I make my living as a coach. It's my primary occupation. Without compensation, I cannot provide a service. A service that helps players not only become better, but grow in life experience & teaching. A service that places the players first. One that is appropriately priced, budgeted and worth its weight in expertise. Please tread carefully when selecting a home for your son, as quality coaches & mentors are becoming rarer due to the misuse of appropriate funds.

I haven't played softball for 11 years so when I found out I was playing in the City of Hope…read moreCelebrity Softball Game I knew I needed help. I had asked some friends if they knew of any batting cages in the Franklin Tennessee area and all of them said there was this great place called Showtime Sports Academy. The first time I walked in there was so much activity going on and it seem like a great place. I met Glenn Johnson who along with his father Howard runs the place. I told him my situation and he immediately knew what to do. He set me up in the softball batting cages and made me feel right at home. I've been back a few times and I have to tell you the customer service there is truly spectacular. I have watched their instructors teach several kids different levels of baseball and softball and they know their stuff. There is so much room and the fact that its indoors makes it great for rain or shine and even hot or cold outside. I must go back and again tell you about their customer service because I feel like part of a special family just walking in there. Parents are known as soon as they walk through the door and the kids I have watched are happy and eager to learn. Glenn and his team are doing something right and even when the Celebrity Softball Game is over I know I will be coming back. Thank you Showtime Sports Academy for a wonderful experience and I look forward to seeing you all again soon. Sincerely, Shawn Parr NashFm 1033

The gym looked decent, but they have an insanely restrictive lead climbing policy. You'd expect to…read morebe able to show up, pay for a day pass, take a lead certification test, then go climb. Unlike all other climb gyms in the world, that's not how this process works at Climb. There's no walk in certs. You have to make an appointment, sometimes a week in advance for a Tuesday or Thursday time slot. The test itself is supposedly 45 minutes. There was a competition here hosting some of the best youth climbers in the country. They lead climbed in the gym for 2 days. After the comp was over, and once the gym opened up to the public, the kids were not allowed to get back on the walls to climb the routes that were set for them. Why? Because they weren't certified to lead in the gym. That's weird because they were just in your gym climbing those exact routes with the blessing of your management who organized the event, but OK, let's get them certified. Sorry, you have to make an appointment for next week. Next week? There are tons of people working here. None of them can certify these kids who traveled from out of state? No. It actually defies logic.
