From the owner: Bobby Lawrence Karate - Orem is not just a "karate school". It is a Leadership Academy. We teach…read moreour children leadership skills through the discipline of martial arts. We teach our students to rely on the Pillars of Success; Leadership, Attitude, Excellence, Discipline, and Respect, to assist them with making good choices and helping them grow up to be the happiest, healthiest, safest version of themselves possible. Coupled with our comprehensive curriculum that offers Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Carlos Machado), kickboxing, sport karate, traditional weapon study and more, we offer a very broad and deep system of self-defense that appeals to both beginners and experienced martial artists alike. Also, the Orem school is currently the only Bobby Lawrence studio that offers the Trailblazer Leadership University; a program for those who are serious about their martial arts training and wish to become instructors who will go on to help others.

They have a shiny facade, with a rotten core…read more While they show off the trophies, newspaper mentions, and boast about their lengthy history, it's actually hiding a group of people that aren't all that invested in people now that they've made enough money. During the summer camp they offer, if your child doesn't bring enough water, they either make you pay for it, refuse the child water, or make them drink from the bathroom sink. (The drinking fountain they have by the bathroom is actually broken, but they don't tell you that when you tour.) They also let employees work on site before they have gotten the fingerprint check back, which is just dangerous, and illegal. The might be skilled in martial arts, but they only thing on their mind now is the money you give them.

Amy's treat you great as long as you are enrolled. They will…read moremake special deals with you to keep your children enrolled if for some reason you try to quit. Once you disenroll those special deals went away and any merchandise you bought from them will not be given along with reimbursements for private lessons that were not used. I tried multiple times to get in touch about a pair of shorts that was ordered before we left and not even so much as a response. I had to do a charge back with my bank to get my money refunded. Their response to that charge back was a lame apology. Stating sorry for not following through. My bank accidently did two chargebacks. One for an item I actually did receive and Amy's was calling, leaving voice messages, texts and sending emails all within 5 minutes of each other because they were due money. Otherwise when asking them a simple question about a reimbursement to me they don't even bother to respond. Same situation as the shorts. Long story short as long as you are paying them money they communicate well but if you are no longer paying them money they don't care about you or your questions. Keep the money. Your true colors really shined through.

Great, great place! While living here previously I took my baby here for gym classes. She…read moreabsolutely loved it. She always had so much fun and laughed and giggled. She also started learning some good skills - such as somersaults, pulling up her body weight on bars, balancing and other physical strengths. She also was taught language and cognitive skills. The teachers and employees are all so friendly and wonderful with the kids. I seriously love this place for kids/babies. My little one was in the class for 10-18 month olds. I'm sure there programs for the other ages are great as well. This place is worth the price (even though it isn't that expensive).

He used to be afraid of the walking across the balance beam and now he likes it. I know I could do a lot of the stuff they teach at home, but it's nice to be with other kids and have the gym equipment for him to use. Fun and nice teachers!

History: I have unsuccessfully been to so many various gyms and exercise programs, and always with…read morea fierce desire to get my body healthy and into shape. But after PAIN, dizziness, nausea, blacking out, and uncertainty that I'm even doing all this right, I lose the will to keep going within the 1st or 2nd week. I remain a member for months later, but my body definitely does NOT ever want to return so badly that I never go. Then I give up and take the loss of money paid. So when my boyfriend signed me up for Orange Theory Fitness, I was not thrilled about the idea. I was just too out of shape (having rarely exercised my entire life!) *** But Orange Theory is DIFFERENT, and here's how: It's like having a personal trainer watching out for you. You put on a device that tells you where your body is, and how hard you can push or not. There is a Science to it all, and I can finally get into shape without all that overage of pain and dizziness. I walk away with actual endorphins... and so yes, my body is ok with me going again and again.
