I never felt completely comfortable there. Since becoming a member at Oakley Fitness Center, I have learned proper lifting techniques and been given work out ideas to fit my goals (per my request.) The classes are small, and I don't feel judged which is quite refreshing. I have gone down a pants size since starting a few weeks ago, and I can feel my body getting stronger. I highly recommend trying boxing there! Best gym in Asheville as far as I am concerned.

I am a beginner to working out. On my first trip to the gym the owner John showed me around and…read moregave me some pointers on how to get started. Since joining I started going to the kickboxing class on Sunday's and enjoy the work out. The gym is very clean and has plenty to offer no matter what kind of workout you are looking for or what level you are at in your fitness journey.

I found this place their Groupon ad. Not knowing what to expect and not necessarily big Gym person…read moremy workouts usually consist of programs like P90X. I was intrigued by the offer on the ad for a boot camp type work out. Located on Riverside Drive, you might miss them if you don't look carefully, but once you find them I think you'll be happy. The staff is uber friendly and helpful and the programs are very good - group as well as personal type training. We did a month program which was great, but in the end we decided to to another round of p90x, which isn't any reflection upon the gym.....just not the right time or in our budget at that moment.

Take this review how you want, just know that I have no reason to lie about this place. Johnny Buck…read more(main instructor/owner the way he explained it) makes fun of the mentally ill with a lot of maliciousness. 7 months into my BJJ journey and taking my training very seriously; I saw a student go up to Johnny and say (referring to one of the mentally Ill students who would train with us) "I was worried about hurting him" in which Johnny responded with "Oh no, they're really strong, they can handle a lot, and uh don't worry if you hurt em because they're not even human so..." Racism is prevalent here, don't be fooled by their kindness at first. Johnny used to call me mutt before I confronted him on that. There's plenty of cops that go to this gym so if the "leader" is encouraging making fun of mentally ill people and racism then you have a cycle that will continue throughout the community. This "gym" pushes a 12 month commitment for new members. They speak under their breath about you here if you don't submit to their culture or their way of thinking. It's almost like a cult in a way. The main reason why I wrote this review is because I felt it was my civic duty to let anybody who's innocently trying to learn self defense to protect others, are not taken advantage of like I was. My advice to new and potential future customers is to please stay away from that place but if you do want to check it out then I suggest you listen to your gut, stay true to who you are, and if you believe in God stay close to him because this guy and his ilk aren't good people. -Message to Johnny: What you teach is a perversion of what real humans naturally feel. Real humans have empathy. You don't.
