Been a part of this gym since the grand opening of this location, and I'll be a part of it even if…read moreI stopped training Muay Thai all together-- the reason I can say this is because when you join this gym, you're joining more than just a place to get your cardio fix or learn self-defense... you're joining the most dynamic, dysfunctional, hilarious and loyal family you could ever hope to be a part of. The two coaches, Ryan Castillo and Bruce Chacon, welcome anyone from "I've never trained a day in my life" to "I'm an experienced professional" and give everyone the same amount of respect, attention to technique and motivation. Workouts are designed to be high intensity and consist of high volume with a combination of body weight and kettle bell oriented workouts but you're welcomed to train at your own pace! Even if you're looking to get an intense cardiovascular workout or learn how to defend yourself, you'll be gaining invaluable knowledge from experienced professionals and you'll develop a greater self-confidence and respect from your peers! The idea of joining a "martial arts gym" can be intimidating, but I promise once you give this gym a try, you'll be inviting everyone you know to be a part of the family too!

Muay Thai has been life saving and an outlet for my busy and stressful work life. Beautifully violent has created a safe and supported space for me to meet new people, learn life saving skills (self defense), and develop a love for a sport I never knew I needed. The coach's are very supportive and accommodating to new members and have worked hard in creating an environment of family. Coach Ryan and coach Bruce teach with heart and patience. Best decision I made was to be part of this gym!

I can't say enough good things about Heart and Pride Muay Thai. Joining this gym has been one of…read morethe best decisions I've ever made. I came from a background where I was never active. I never played sports because I didn't think I'd be good at any of them, and I never enjoyed working out. I originally joined because I simply wanted to be more active and find something fun to do. I never imagined I would completely fall in love with Muay Thai. Over the past year and a half, this gym has given me so much more than just a workout. I've made amazing friends, gained confidence, and found a community that genuinely feels like family. Everyone here is welcoming, respectful, and supportive, no matter your experience level. The Krus are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. They truly care about helping every student improve while creating a positive environment where everyone can succeed. A year and a half later, Heart and Pride has become my second home. It's a place I look forward to coming to every week, and I honestly can't imagine my life without it. If you're thinking about trying Muay Thai--even if you've never been athletic or played sports before--don't hesitate. This gym has completely changed my life, and I'm so grateful to be part of the Heart and Pride family.

DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT HERE. If I could give this place zero stars, I would…read more ​I signed my daughter up in August for what I was explicitly told was a six-month agreement. Nobody ever mentioned that the gym would automatically shift to a month-to-month charge after that period ended. My daughter only actually attended for about two months, yet they have continued to pull money from my account well past the six-month mark. ​When I caught the charges and asked for a refund, they flat-out refused. The best they offered was a 3-month credit. Because my daughter can no longer attend due to her school and work schedule, I asked if the credit could at least be transferred to me so the money wouldn't go to waste. The representative said she "didn't think it was possible" but claimed she would look into it. ​To make matters worse, their cancellation process is incredibly sketchy: ​I canceled online but never received a confirmation email. ​I called and spoke to a representative who promised to email me a cancellation confirmation, a copy of my original contract, and the 3-month credit offer in writing. ​They never sent anything. ​They are more than happy to keep taking your money without authorization, but completely ghost you when you ask for paperwork or a resolution. Save your money, protect your bank account, and stay far away from this gym!
