Whether you are a complete beginner or more experienced going to a new gym can be scary. This place…read moredoes an amazing job of creating a welcoming atmosphere for all ages. I stopped in a bit early for the adult class and noticed that during the kids class the instructors were making a priority of devoting time to all the students individually which was amazing to see and sets the gym apart from others. During the adult class the coach encouraged questions and ensured everyone understood the instructed moves before moving on. If you're debating trying jiu jitsu, I would strongly encourage you to stop by for a trial and give this place a shot.

Had reasons to quit after six months and asked for a partial refund, was given a hard no. Once the year was up, I got billed for August because they automatically set you up for month to month and wasn't informed I needed to give a 30 day notice in June. The classes were fine, but the business practice side was very frustrating.

After years of living with a shoulder injury that left me in constant pain, Dennis didn't just get the spasms out--he gave me stretches and exercises so I could release and strengthen it on my own as well. I'd been to doctors, physical therapists, other massage therapists, and a chiropractor, and none of them did as much good as Dennis. I don't know if it's the martial arts training or what, but frankly, I don't care. Oh, and did I mention I have really tight IT bands? He's helped fix that, too! Alright, alright--I admit that I routinely wreck his good work...I'm a bit of stress-holder, and I regularly ignore intelligent recommendations from much smarter people than I to be nicer to myself, but I know Dennis will be there to work it back out. Baby steps, right? So if you need a massage, DO NOT waste your hard-earned money on anyone else. Schedule with Dennis RIGHT NOW. You'll be glad you did!
