If you want to learn to fly, this is the gym for you. They have everything you could possibly need to train for your OCR races, and the possibilities are endless for the ninja course runs you can set up. Not to mention, they have the "Mega" 18 foot warped wall to run up also. The coaches are all very attentive and energetic. Diego, who is the owner, also goes above and beyond to make sure everything is safe AND clean for everyone on a daily basis. Such a great place to train, and a really friendly environment.

I'm serious as a heart attack when I say this is the greatest gym out there in the block! Not to mention it is the only Obstacle Course Gym for 100 miles!

During our initial conversation, I was also told that "it's not daycare" and that everyone should respect other people's time, which felt like an unusual introduction for a prospective family. On the day of the trial, we arrived early, completed the waiver, and met the coaches. The assistant coach was warm and welcoming, especially with the younger children. Unfortunately, my experience with the head coach was very different. He seemed annoyed that my daughter was there, despite her being invited to attend. As a nervous first-time participant, she needed a little encouragement and came over to me briefly. She was then corrected for walking across the mat instead of around it. I understand the importance of rules and etiquette, but no one had explained that expectation to her beforehand. Overall, the environment felt unwelcoming for a young beginner. While the assistant coach made a positive impression, the program did not seem well suited to very young children, and we'll be looking elsewhere.

Follow up thoughts:…read more I stand by my original review, which reflects my personal experience and opinion -- both of which I have a legal right to share. Your public response includes multiple false and inflammatory claims about me, and I feel it's necessary to respond to set the record straight. The incident you referenced occurred during an open mat session in 2018. At the time, I was training under the supervision of one of your coaches, who explicitly asked me not to throw punches so I could work on my defense. I followed that instruction. The training was light, controlled, and respectful. Your later claim that I was recklessly sparring with brand-new students is inaccurate, and to my knowledge, no such concern was raised until you confronted me aggressively and physically escalated the situation. As I described in my review, you grabbed my shirt, followed me into the locker room, and shoved me into the lockers. You then followed me into the parking lot while still in gear. That was not professional or necessary. In my view, it was less about safety and more about control -- and when I didn't back down, it seemed to bruise your massive ego. Regarding the private lessons: I paid you personally for a package, and the sessions were not completed. That's a fact. Whether or not I submitted a formal refund request is irrelevant -- I paid for a service that was not fully delivered. You've now made public accusations that I submitted fake reviews, used vulgar language, and harassed you over several years. I unequivocally deny these claims. They are completely false. The fact that this is only being raised now -- in response to a critical review -- speaks for itself. My review was not harassment. It was protected speech, written to share my personal experience for the benefit of others considering your gym. Your public response -- filled with personal attacks and verifiably false claims -- only underscores the concerns I originally raised.

It always took elite, former ATP-level players from other states to challenge Larry for the numerous titles he won, and many of them left as the runner up. I had the privilege of spending some time on court with Larry and, in that brief period, learned how the very best in this game think. He shared what his Father taught him: "..don't miss, put every ball back over the net and between the lines...notice I didn't say 'hit it hard', with lots of pace?" Sounds simple doesn't it? I'm still working on that part Larry, but I pale in comparison! We miss you out here in Colorado! John Hetherington

She made it all the way to Level 5, and we can see such a big difference in her swimming skills and confidence. Thank you, Zach, for being so patient with her and making every lesson fun while teaching her so much. She really enjoyed her lessons and always looked forward to them.

Now I'm training 2x a week doing headstands, raw functional training, muay thai and calisthenic exercises on the parallette bars. I haven't found virtual training to be a drawback at all. Ryan is extremely attentive to your posture when doing any of the exercises and will point out nuances and provide clear, specific feedback to improve your positioning. Sometimes even a millimeter of change that Ryan suggests makes an exercise 1.5x more challenging, but that's when you know that he's watching closely to make sure you're doing the exercise right. Highly recommend Ryan as a trainer for anyone who is looking to stay fit throughout the week but doesn't want a gym commute. Heck, I was training out of the living room for a while before graduating to the garage. The workout programs are challenging but he mixes it up to keep it interesting, and ensure that all of the muscles across your body are worked in a balanced way.
