Mr. King is incredibly patient, encouraging, and truly cares about each student's growth--not just in martial arts, but in confidence, discipline, and respect. EJ has learned so much and looks forward to every class. It's been amazing to see his confidence build and his focus improve. Mr. King creates a positive and structured environment that keeps the kids engaged while still making it fun. One thing we really love is that they take time to share and teach from the Bible. It truly makes a positive impact, helping reinforce strong values and character in the kids. It means a lot to us as a family to have EJ in an environment that pours into him both physically and spiritually. We're so grateful to have found a place where EJ is not only learning important skills but also being mentored by someone who genuinely invests in his students. Highly recommend!

They were not only dedicated to completing a great boxing workout, they also had such great comradery. They assisted each other when needed and cheered each other on.

Noah saved my son from what I saw as a possible great decline, and I was very worried. It's been only two months now with twice a week sessions, and the transformation we are seeing in our son is incredible! Noah's approach is precise, building overall strength and motivation. Noah is kind, positive, and knows exacly how much to increase the training difficulty to the next level in a smart progression. The once handsome, fit, intelligent, pro junior athlete boy that we used to know is coming back. He's lost a lot of weight, is more clear thinking, feels great about himself, and is happier, gained motivation, and enjoys his training. It's amazing how physical strength builds mental strength. They go hand in hand. We are so happy to see the guy that we know come back. We're very grateful to have found an outstanding trainer.

I joined in Nov 2021 and am now almost through my second year, I currently go about 6 days a week…read more He is the original review I wrote that I forgot to post on Yelp... Thavma easily beat my expectations. The studio (Sarasota) was beautiful and zen. The teachers were great. The classes were challenging. I tried the two week trial and give myself a 90% chance of joining after I try out a little competition as I am new to the area. (Update: I joined and bought the 1-year all-you-can-sweat pass - love it) The best thing about the teachers was their attention to detail: they make sure to watch your alignment and constant remind us of the right adjustments to make the poses correctly and safe. But they were also friendly and fun and the classes had lots of people that had clearly been members for a while. Their 26+2 class is a slight variation of Bikram, so if you know that or Google it, you will know what to expect. I enjoyed those classes very much. Just know there are slight and intentional variations and you should follow them and not show how you can do the "real" poses. The Red Thavma is basically Yoga + Pilates + Abs + Sauna. This is a great way to tone up and burn calories if that is your thing. The Black Thavma is a harder version of Red, but I did not get a chance to try that. I highly recommend their $39 two week all-you-can-yoga pass. Try to commit to 6-8 classes as the first one will seem hot enough to make you give up, but you get use to it and learn to pace yourself. I think it is easy to get addicted, and I did love it. Hints: get well hydrated 3-4 hours before class, sip water in class, definitely take a sweat towel for your mat and keep an bring a sports drink or two for afterwards. Take a towel for your car seat too. They supply a strap and block and when I forgot my mat they lent me a free one -but they normally charge $2, They also have electrolyte packets to add to your water and they have cold water. They stopped renting towels during COVID and have decided not to restart that. Do it!
