I LOVE Personal Best Karate! I joined kickboxing with a few friends of mine in Feb. 2012 as part of…read morea fitness challenge. I never thought I would love it as much as I do. Not only did I lose 25 lbs and 8% body fat .....but I also have adopted a healthier lifestyle. The instructors are so positive and they want everyone to succeed. The people that go there are like family and they are so welcoming to everyone! You don't have to be in your 20's to go either.....everyone ranges in age from teens to 60's....it is a blast and an amazing workout and stress reliever. I would recommend anyone looking for a way to get in shape, relieve stress and create a happier and healthier "you" to come and try kickboxing...you won't be disappointed! Personal Best in Norton is top notch!

This is also real kickboxing, with pads and gloves in classes and the option to take Fighter Training, where you learn to fight in the ring. New people are always made to feel welcome and find a great support system in the trainers and other members. I've been a member for years and although sometimes I "fall off the wagon" with my workouts, I never feel judged and instead am greeted enthusiastically when I come back. Donna (the owner) and her trainers are genuine, kind and will absolutely help you achieve your fitness goals - provided you quit slackin' and do the work!

I am really happy we tried this place for my son. He has been attending Impact Martial Arts for a…read moremonth now. He is 5 years old and is having a tremendous amount of fun. It might be the one place he is willing to go without putting up a fight or stalling (often for no reason). I thought it would be challenging to get our son there twice a week, but it has been such a positive experience that we now prioritize it. The instructors are fantastic, and the environment is very welcoming. It is a great mix of fun games and actual karate. Another place we explored, while likely a great studio, didn't seem the right fit for this age and attention span. They also host wonderful events like movie nights for the kids.

The…read morefacility is spacious, kept clean and hygienic and the gear is new and not run down like most other dojos. The owner is a dedicated teacher who has studied Muay Thai for 20+ years from the best in the sport, often training in Thailand himself and bringing that experience and knowledge back to his students and staff. The classes are both challenging and fun no matter who is teaching that day. I can't wait until my next class!

I have been doing kickboxing on and off for the last 10 years across 4 different states. Atomic…read moreKickboxing has been in the top 3 gyms favorite I have gone to. Every member of the staff is super friendly and engaged - of course to the degree that you reciprocate. Each trainer has their own twist, exercises, and music, but the structure of the classes are the same. They are purposefully challenging to transform your body, but beginner friendly enough to go at your own pace. After years of not exercising, I started at Atomic and could barely make it through a class. But I was able to stick with it, with some breaks, and get myself to lose over 35lbs. The hardest part is starting, but the classes become addicting the more you do it and the community/motivation from the instructors and other members helps you stay accountable. Would recommend to anyone who is serious about committing to change and wants to have an exercise they are passionate about.

As usual, locked into a deal to check this place out. Very conveniently located to my residence…read more Owner Christine Bannon-Rodrigues is quite unassuming considering she is, I found out, 8th degree black belt and holds 9 World Championships (ahem). I really had fun going to the Kickboxing fitness classes here. Each participant typically gets a bag to him/herself. The routines are authentic -- a combination of sparring and bag kicks and punches. Music was cool, too. We all worked out on mats so I really felt the shin and top of foot kicks. The staff is polite and the crowd is made up of parents with kids taking up Karate, if not Karate and Kickboxing enthusiasts. It was especially great support training for the choreographed kickboxing classes I teach myself. I really wanted to stay on as a regular member but the rates were prohibitive. Around $80 a month for unlimited attendance to kickboxing classes, on auto debit. Other than attending classes, if they synced with my own schedule (which mostly did not), there is no other option for me to make use of that fee. I asked for a special arrangement that would somehow make sense -- drop in, perhaps? Cost is just a bit high. If you come in as a family, perhaps, or wish to stick to only one fitness routine and this being it, this is a very good place. Then the rate might make sense to you. Check it out.

My son and I were looking for a dojo in Coventry. After visiting a few local schools this one…read morereally stood out above the rest. What impressed me the most was how we were welcomed as "part of the family" from the moment we walked in. We watched a class and even got to participate a little. The instructors are very supportive and took the time to explain things. I feel like all of the emphasis has been placed where it counts, which is on the students and the art. It doesn't feel like a corporate money machine at all and the prices are very reasonable. Don't expect a flashy dojo however it has what you need, where it counts. The extra challenge of actually finding the dojo is also quite rewarding as it is way in the back and difficult to locate :)
