    Our family has been training at Roots for the past three years, and it has truly become a second home for us. Before Roots, we spent several years at another gym, but when it shut down due to Covid, we decided to give Roots a try--and it turned out to be the best thing that came out of the pandemic. Roots is more than just a gym; it's a family-friendly environment where both adults and youth can learn authentic Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, all under one roof. The coaches here are phenomenal--highly skilled, knowledgeable, and deeply passionate about martial arts. They provide structured material and a clear path for learning, making it easy to see consistent progress whether you're a beginner or experienced. One of the things we love most is how inclusive the gym is. Whether you're single or have a family, Roots has a place for you. For us, it's been incredible watching our youngest son thrive. He's not only learning the true discipline of martial arts but also gaining confidence, focus, and life skills that will stay with him forever. If you're looking for a gym where you'll feel supported, challenged, and welcomed, Roots is it. We're so grateful we found this place--it's truly one of the best decisions we've made as a family!

    Why I like this place: The coaches are experts in their field. Passion, Integrity and discipline are the staple of their practice. You can see the many years of combined experience that they bring to the table. There are no handouts here and is as real as you can get with the coaches and the staff. Do you want to know Who our coaches are? Come Take a free class or observe one! ..... What keeps us coming back and referring their classes and location ..... There is a welcoming vibe with anyone who walks in from novice to experienced. As you become familiar with the coaches and their philosophy of educating, their students, you begin to understand that there is a deeply seeded root in their dedication to educated our youth in the importance of respect for self and others, having discipline and self-control, and being a teammate who encourages their colleagues. Kids are learning to be a leader and utilize feedback as fuel to strengthen skill sets. Our coaches see the kids who show up day after day to practice and the potential that these kids have along with consistent dedication, passion and heart. ...What they are Not.... This isn't just a day to day after school program, this isn't something to just keep them busy, there are no babysitters here where you drop off and leave and pick up. This is a family. This is a community that you become a part of even if just a spectator or a parent of a child who participates. Often you will see parents here, tailgating outside their trucks and cars with camping chairs outside talking about their kids and the tournaments that they'll be attending in the near future. It is a close knit family, and we build within the community of ROOTS. These coaches show up not only for their practice each day / six days a week, but they also show up for all the various tournaments for jiujitsu and Mui Thai that are held all throughout Northern and Southern California even as far as Arizona to support their students and ensure that they have a Squad riding behind them! ...When... Classes vary by age group. Best place to check is their website for most accurate classes offered each month. They also offer a trial if you're interested.

    Been going for CrossFit for almost 1.5 years and love it here. Coaches are knowledgeable,…read moresupportive and passionate about helping you improve. Community is humble, passionate and about the right size (not too big feeling crowded or not too small). I have gradually improved in all dimensions - strength, cardio, flexibility, technique and mindset/mentality. 5 stars! Highly recommend. You have various options (CrossFit, bootcamp, powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting etc) to chose from depending on interest and where you are at in your fitness journey.

    I've been going to CrossFit One World for about 14 months now, and it's been a great experience. I…read morefirst joined the Boot Camp program, and coaches JP and Moe really made a difference for me. I had no background in CrossFit or weightlifting and felt completely new to it all, but they explained the basics clearly, kept things motivating, and often stepped in to correct form so we built the right foundation. That gave me confidence and made the classes something I looked forward to instead of dreaded. Over time, I enjoyed Boot Camp so much that I moved into CrossFit. I'm still a beginner in CrossFit and probably will be for a while but my weight loss has accelerated since making the switch, and I've started feeling stronger, healthier, and more positive overall. So far, I've had classes with seven different coaches plus Brad, the owner, and every one of them has been dedicated, approachable, and engaged. Each coach has their own style, which makes it fun you pick up something new in every session. Brad himself is humble and very committed to building the kind of community that makes people want to keep coming back. The best part of this gym is the great community of coaches n people. It's full of people who push themselves, encourage each other, and make the hard work enjoyable. If you're looking for a place that challenges you but also supports you, CrossFit One World is it. Joining here has been one of the best decisions for my health and well-being.
