Starting with asking you to join the leadership program at a discounted rate which entitles you to fifteen minuets weapon training at the end of each class, ($ for the weapon of the month)however they never really used that time for weapon training they use that time to push bring a friend for buddy week and you get tickets for a raffle, so they can sucker someone else, you child will be doing everything wrong and they won't correct him, just the few that they see. I signed up for a three year contract, my fault and left after 2 years, then on top your child is pushed through the belt class regardless if they are ready or not just for that $40.00 testing fee. If you are dead set in sending your child to a karate class just watch the class and see exactly what they are doing and how many instructors they have,also ask for a six month contract first so when you see what I see your not trapped. Ask any of the students to explain the proper technique on how to throw a punch, kick or a block, they will show you a kick a block or a punch but will have no idea of what the technique behind it is, instead of using the time to teach and talk about technique it's used to talk to the class about recruiting new students.

I can't believe some of the skills that they are teaching the kids (hello - flying kicks), it is quite amazing! Another element that makes this program different is many of the teachers /leaders each class are young students. They help correct form and keep an eye on the students as they are progressing. It is so nice for the children to see welcoming and youthful faces. it makes their goals of becoming a black belt more tangible. In addition, AmeriKick has wonderful extras (breaking classes, and parents night out). Keep up the good work.

There's a good group of nice people; my first class I had to sit on the side b/c I couldn't keep up. With each class though there was definite improvement and I no longer had to sit out. Mr. Sean is NRG and experience. He works with you (hyped up), advises you and pushes you and understands. If I were living in L-town (Im in N. Jersey) I'd be going year round to maintain the growth I was seeing in strength and stamina. Now back in N. Jersey I will look for another local, but if I'm back in Levittown for summers I will revisit this gym. It's right next to PHS where I went to school in the Vermillion Square Shopping Center...oddly enough the first time I went to the shopping center even though I grew up in the area. If you're looking for a work out that offers variety, that's fun, that'll test your abilities, and one that will give you results if you're willing to TRY and not give up def. call in speak to Mr. Sean and give it a trial. Plus, now when some are trying to save the price along with scheduling is def. more than right.

Mercer County Park is a complete park that offers something for just about everyone's needs…read more Whether you're looking to take the kids to the lake for a swim, go kayaking, let the dogs off leash in the fenced in dog park, ride your bike along paths both paved and natural, or just go walkabout to enjoy the largest park in the county. There are even a small number of campsites that can be reserved during certain times of the year. There are also large playing fields that host tournaments throughout the year for baseball, soccer, lacrosse, etc., and rowing regattas are hosted on the lake. At 3.9 square miles, Mercer County Park is a whopping 1.7% of the total acreage in all of Mercer County. The NE portion of the park is part that I like best, as it's also the part that gets the least amount of traffic, with the only folks you see being people walking the trails, birdwatchers and BMX bike riders. I wouldn't advise taking a gravel bike on the paths in this part of the park. I used to come here often with my bike, but now I'm also enjoying the trails on foot. If you're a road bike owner who's just looking for a short ride, the paved paths that run the length of the park, and the broad shoulder of the main road offer a good conditions for a road bike, but you'll need to look elsewhere for a longer, challenging ride. Also, I've yet to encounter the entitled dog owners who think that the leash regulations don't apply to them. I'm sure that they're out there, but perhaps they're not as common as they are at places like Mercer Meadows or Mountain Lakes--fingers crossed.

He had gained strength, agility, and balance. The instructors are friendly, and wonderful with the students.

He really cares about what happens in those hours outside of the gym, too. In addition to focusing on strengthening and physical fitness, we talk about nutrition and sleep, managing stress, and mindfulness. This approach has made a huge difference: I have more energy and feel stronger and happier about my body than I have in years. I was dealing with a shoulder injury so progress was slow and carefully staged at first. Howard was very interested in what my goals were--but he was not afraid to challenge and push me--communicating with my physical therapist to provide the best exercise regimen. I will never forget the day I could bench press 20 pounds again. Howard's reaction was excitement and sheer delight. Now, go onto YouTube and check out "325 lbs Bench, Howard Aaron" and watch him break the International Powerlifting Association record for the 60-64 year old men's division. Yet his pride in my small (but meaningful) breakthrough was whole-hearted and genuine. Howard's dedication to his own fitness and his amazing accomplishments have inspired me to reevaluate the limits I have been setting for myself--physically and mentally!
