Personally, he literally made sure my number was in your phone & that I had his # the instant I initiated for a personal training. 3. Dynamically, one of the things I wanted to learn, he immediately incorporated into that days group lesson, on the same day!! Which was amazing. 4. As far as a coach can go, he always knows when who needs what & most importantly who needs to problem solve for themselves before his assists.

Great Gym, I haven't met the owner John, but I have spoken with him over the phone, seems like…read moresuper cool dude. All of the coaches there from the jiu-jitsu coaches, boxing coach, Muay Thai coach they're all great and very helpful if you ask. I would highly recommend going here. It's $160 a month for unlimited classes. It's totally worth it in my opinion if you're a fan of mixed martial arts, gyms don't get much better than this. I really don't see what they could do much better than what they already have so John, good job, and I look forward to meeting you in the future.

Very matter-of-fact with out pretending they can tell you what DA's or lawyers will do, as Vinny will tell you, he is not a lawyer, but has the decades of experience in executive protection and military experience in self-defense to tell you what you should say, have, and do to maximize your safety, responses to threats, and minimize your risks. Just took a class there last night on defending the home. Afterwards he let us see & use the laser room, and Airsoft training room. I watched him and his staff give some quick basic instruction to a few people. Very impressed. Did not take pictures. Wish I had.

The first week was me asking the other guys in class a lot of very basic questions, which they were very glad to answer. Their reasoning being it is better for me to learn right than to pick up a bad habit which might hurt myself or others. The work out was nice, but in order to get the best results you need to get your reps in at home. "fatigue makes every warrior a wuss" By the second class I had the rhythm down on how classes progress. I knew what to bring and where to stand. Any drill I didnt know I asked and some one explained it. By the second week I was shadow boxing at home, in the office, just thinking about my combos. I would run after work on days I had no class and do chin ups. By the third week I felt like a champ every time I put on my gloves. and I found myself staring at myself in the mirror a bit more and liking what I saw. The coaches are there every class, this gym is not a place for judgement or bad attitudes. I was treated with respect and dignity, but I did have to bring respect and a desire to learn in order to get the most out of class. I also had to develop a personal workout routine outside of class to maximize its benefits for my own goals. I would recommend this place highly, and will continue to go in the future. PS: no one was wearing any tap out shirts or just beating on the little guy. I would know I am the little guy.
