We enjoyed taking classes here at Foss. A lot of the staff were great. The two major pitfalls are…read morehow crowded it is. Granted the "classes" are about 3-4 kids average but the classes are all at the same time as everyone else and in a small section of the lane. This is not conducive to learning for the other pitfall, the overstimulation and inability to accommodate children with special needs. Trying to learn to swim in a loud, busy and crowded pool is daunting. No dig at the staff, they are doing the best they can given the circumstances presented. Maybe Foss can carve out some time and space for kids with non-neurotypical or special needs.

I have never been so frustrated with a business over something that should have been incredibly…read moresimple. My daughter is 2 years and 10 months old. I registered her for a FOSS swim class and FOSS had her date of birth during the registration process. Their system allowed me to enroll her, accept the registration, and take my payment. We showed up for her class today, only to be stopped at the door and told that she was too young because the class requires children to be 3 years old. If the age requirement is truly mandatory, why did your registration system allow me to register a child whose DOB clearly showed she was not yet 3? Why was my payment accepted? Why wasn't the registration rejected or flagged at the time I signed her up? I was told someone had supposedly called us earlier today to warn us. We received no call, no voicemail, no text, and no other notification. Regardless, waiting until a family physically arrives for a class before addressing an eligibility issue that was already apparent from the child's registration information is unacceptable. I also asked FOSS to show me the written policy stating that this specific class requires children to be 3. I could not find this requirement on the information available to me, and when I asked for clarification and requested escalation to management/corporate, I was essentially given nowhere to go. Their customer-service chat has refused to provide a corporate contact or meaningful escalation. This isn't about wanting special treatment for my child. It's about basic customer service and accountability. If your system knows a child's date of birth and allows a parent to register and pay for a class, you should catch an age restriction BEFORE the family shows up at the facility. We paid for a service that FOSS accepted our registration for, made plans around that class, and showed up expecting our daughter to participate. Instead, we were turned away at the door and then couldn't get a straight answer or a way to escalate the issue. Very disappointing experience, and based on how this has been handled, I cannot recommend FOSS Swim School.

Admittedly, I was a little intimidated starting jiu jitsu at my age...now in my 50's. Yet, 6 months into it, I have become an evangelist for Olson's and jiu jitsu, overall. I only wish I had started much sooner. Brian has earned my utmost trust and respect. Of course, the fact that he is a 4 x Olympian in Judo certainly speaks to his dedication and pursuit of his personal goals. It's rare to have an opportunity to meet an Olympian...let alone a 4-time Olympian. Yet, it is his humility, patience, and constant encouragement that has helped me and my sons thrive. As a father, I have seen a dramatic improvement in the respect, support, and encouragement my boys offer each other...and myself. I think that has a lot to do with the fine are of jiu jitsu...and the culture Brian has fostered in his academy. If you are looking for a new challenge and personal growth...If you are looking for a way to get healthy and achieve your fitness goals...If you are looking for something that will positively impact your children for a lifetime...reach out to Brian through the website or phone...you won't regret it. It's a decision your future self may reflect upon as a significant catalyst for the quality of your life.

I am writing to express my most enthusiastic recommendations for the Unified Martial Arts Academy…read more Upon my reflection of my nearly nine years at Unified Martial Arts Academy earning a Black Belt. I can confidently state that becoming a student at the school was one of the most productive and positive decisions I have made. I started as a student in my early thirties. Many adults feel uncomfortable about beginning a commitment well into their career since they have not been in a "learning" environment for a long time. That is a big mistake. Personal growth and knowledge should never end, no matter what your age. The benefits I have received at Unified Martial Arts Academy are many and it is a classic case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. The diverse training program put together by Sensei Albert makes every class interesting and exciting, so that there is never any excessive repetition. One of the things that makes the program special for me is that it incorporates physical, mental, and spiritual elements. I have taken many lessons learned at the unified martial arts academy and incorporated them into my everyday life. Finally, the key ingredient of what makes Unified Martial Arts Academy unique is the spirit of the teacher Sensei Albert. He teaches in the way you learn and will take the time to make sure you fully understand the training. He puts heart and passion into every class. Sensei Albert is the proprietor of the school and has practiced karate for many years. and he teaches every class. Also, the bonding that comes through sharing the spirit and training of the other students meeting shared challenges is not found often, but it certainly exists at Unified Martial Arts Academy. I hope others take advantage of all the special benefits of martial arts training provided and taught by Sensei Albert. It is a great program that offers physical fitness and self-defense tools wrapped in a fun and motivating environment.
