Joining a combat sport like Jiu-Jitsu was something I never considered, until my younger brother…read morejoined Gracie Barra last year and encouraged me to try it. One day, I finally gave in to his persistence, attended a trial class, and ended up signing up the very next week. Every day on the mat is a learning experience, and training at Gracie Barra has instilled a strong sense of discipline in me. The professors are incredibly kind and patient. Even if I've practiced a drill countless times and still forget a step, they make sure I feel comfortable and always guide me through it. I genuinely look forward to every class and deeply appreciate the amazing professors and training partners who have become friends along the way. I highly recommend this Gracie Barra location to anyone looking to start Jiu-Jitsu.

We have heard of FoF from a couple members of another gym we went to and we were lucky to meet someone at FoF at Hyrox last year. I couldn't remember the person but I remember chatting with them, signing up for their email list and got a cinch bag. Well I was finally able to actually check out their gym. I'm bummed it took me so long after Hyrox to visit. Wow, they aren't faking it when they say "everybody loves everybody" in the gym. That's their motto. I checked out their Wednesday Hyrox class (met my friend Erin that morning) and I was immediately welcomed with warm smiles, high fives and good vibes. I legit felt "part of the family" at the get go. Matt, the coach, is a fantastic coach. He is always suggesting either something more challenging or something to substitute based on any injuries. I especially also love the extensive warm up before our runs -- A skips, B skips, you name it, we do it. I'm already seeing a noticeable difference taking the Hyrox classes (Wednesday, Saturday) on my runs. The staff always say hi and are extremely friendly. Brenda, always smiling and cheering us on. I really appreciate everyone is the gym here. Everyone is kind, and supportive of each other. Like I said, on day one, I felt like family already -- it's apparent that camaraderie and community is their number one priority here; everyone is supporting one another and the questions at the start of the day lets you connect and learn more about your fellow athletes in fun ways (outside of sharing the pain and trauma of the current workout lol) All in all, even tho I've only gone here x2/week for maybe a month now, this place really lives up to their name, and can't wait for more classes and challenges here. Thank you to the crew at FoF! You make fitness fun. Cheers!

Update 02/25/13: Still training under Jordan Lawley. Lost 20lbs, 4 inches off the waistline…read more Game rebuilt and still building. Unexpected translation outside the court. I purchased Jordan Lawley's Yelp coupon with a bit of uncertainty. Yesterday, I dove headfirst with my first 1on1 training session. Jordan's expertise is surprisingly staggering. He read holes in my technique that I've been hiding for decades. He drilled me on basic shot mechanics, assessed my ball handling, and ran me through realistic game play moves. Jordan also has the kindness, patience, and friendliness to critique honestly and remain the kind of guy you wouldn't mind hanging out with. As a 36-year-old, I came to Jordan with a special request for basketball training that incorporates general physical fitness, which I desperately need. Jordan tailored a session that gave me a well-rounded workout I know I couldn't get from a gym. Today, I feel great. I received professional-level training on my game with drills I can't wait to work on. Most of all, my mind and body are giving me a big, "Thank You". Jordan's coupon is a huge value for his caliber of expertise. The upcoming basketball world suffers from an epidemic of mediocrity. In my communication and training with Jordan, he is a throwback to a time when players were built from the ground up, molded for championships, not for showtime clips.

Let me tell you, his training changed my whole body! My body has transformed completely from a regular female body with not much strength in the upper body, to one that has muscle definition, energy and strength. Body changes: Belly before: a little pouch, kind of pudgy, but some core strength from yoga Belly after: smaller waist, OBLIQUES showing, lean and very strong core muscles Chest before: just lean, not much strength Chest after: visible nice looking layer of chest muscles that is not too much, still feminine and look strong and healthy like a celebrity Shoulders before: rounded, not very good posture, very normal looking Shoulders after: shoulder look leaner, more angular and look much better in clothes. I even have super defined muscles when I flex and it's crazy amazing! Arms before: slightly fat in the upper arm, probably have some hidden muscles to begin with Arms after: that layer of fat is replaced by strong muscle definition and they look so good and feel stronger Legs before: chubby and not too strong. I am built with more fat in this area Legs after: stronger quads and better looking calves! Unbelievable. It's not making me become someone with hot model legs but I look much better than before! Coach Norm is so kind, so compassionate, and most importantly, his workouts feel like checking in with my buddy. We joke around while he gives me complex moves while carefully observing my form and help me make micro adjustments so my workout is more effective and safe. He's really good at not pushing me to the brink of hating working out and always let me stop a set early if he spots that I am struggling with it, so I don't get injured. With his charisma, caring attitude and expertise in the industry I couldn't recommend him enough!

That being said, I came into the gym on Monday morning eager, but still novice & injured (with a sprained wrist). Coach Jason has met me where I'm at while also encouraging me to safely step out of my comfort zone. I appreciate how willing he has been to listen, while also treating me like a "regular." He has coached me as if I'm a part of the gym, and I feel like I'm going home with some new confidence. Additionally, the people I'm working alongside at the gym have been kind, helpful and encouraging, making sure I'm not getting lost on the runs, correcting my form where necessary, and welcoming me into their space. I'll be back in town periodically throughout the next year and look forward to visiting them again!

I'm so proud of him and he's so proud of the skills and confidence her learned here with the Flippin Flames. The staff is so caring and compassionate as well! My daughter Jazzy, really wanted to attend with her brother and is just getting over the potty training hump. I received a call one afternoon that she had an accident and they were so sweet to my little girl, and kept her mind off her little oopsie until daddy arrived and was able to tend to her. They could've asked her to stay home during the remaining duration of camp, but instead they paid extra attention to her and ensured that she was comfortable and dry through the rest of the camp. As an athlete and father, I can recommend Wildfire Gymnastics to you and your family as a warm and caring facility to learn gymnastics from some of the most prized and awarded coaches in Southern California. World-class men and women who will love and cherish your children just like their own. I'm so thankful.

I assume this gym is better staffed during normal use. However, I thought it was way understaffed…read moreand lacked adequate supervision for a bday party. Parents were not pros at identifying the various items out on the floor and it was a minefield to navigate it all so you could easily turn an ankle on equipment. I watched a couple little girls stumble and start crying because of this. The bday had a game that 2 staff members ran but otherwise they were largely absent on the gym floor. There was no instruction, no structure otherwise. Kids wandered between the bounce house to every piece of equipment with total access. As a parent I kept close to my child to help him but I liked other party venues a lot better because they had staff to get involved and show safe ways to use equipment they had put on the floor. On a hot day over 80 degrees there was no a/c except up in the upstairs party room. I was very hot and uncomfortable as were the kids. Thankfully I brought my son's water to keep him hydrated. Everyone was sweaty and gross. Add to that the venue did not require socks, it seemed a ripe environment for athletes foot or other germs to flourish as I did not notice the equipment or mats looked particularly clean. Nobody was cleaning after use either like at other venues. Overall, nice idea but I think staff needs to think about execution of a bday party better. There is a wide variety of equipment but no instruction, little space between the equipment, and random jump boards everywhere that I don't think 5 yr olds were equipped to navigate well.
