The physical environment is top notch with mats and equipment. The coaches are very chill and student focused. It's about what you need to learn and they have the knowledge. I don't enjoy traveling all the time but this school is a great incentive when I have to revisit this area. Looking forward to learning more.

I came to Kalamazoo last week on a business trip and was searching for an academy that offered…read moreearly morning training, as that was all my schedule would allow. I am a white belt who just wants to learn and I had the privilege of meeting and training with Professor Ken and his team. I travel a lot for work and have had various experiences being a "drop in", but I cannot say enough good things about the academy, the people who train here, and Professor Ken. They welcomed me right in, the morning vibe and atmosphere was perfect to get the blood moving, Professor Ken gave individual attention and improvements to my techniques, and they let me roll. I will definitely "drop in" here again and would recommend as a home academy to anyone searching! Thanks Coach Ken!

The YMCA is the only place in Battle Creek that offers an affordable solution for swimming classes…read more We prefer to purchase a temporary membership each winter to take advantage of the discounted class rate. My kids enjoy the classes and their swim skills have grown significantly. They started in a level two class which I would consider beginner. Some of the instructors are great while others seem to lack confidence in class progression. The YMCA also offers indoor basketball courts, cardio, weights, racketball, an indoor track, martial arts, daycare, training, and more. Room for Improvement: 1. The family dressing room shower water is extremely hot. There is no way to adjust the temperature. Be careful with children. 2. Swim class start times are inconsistent and staff somewhat unorganized. 3. Parking lot has several pot holes.

Not only do the owners make you feel like you are a part of their family they support you every step of the way. I trained through my pregnancy at this gym and was always given (if needed), modified exercises and supported every time I have walked through those doors. Coming back after pregnancy and jumping right back in fully they supported every step of the transition. Most of all.. ITS FUN! Simply, THE BEST!

This martial arts school is hidden gem outside of the village of Richland. My son has been…read moreattending since he was 5 years old (now 7), and he has benefitted from this instruction and discipline so much. He loves it too. He is proud of his progress (he has progressed to an Orange belt so far), and he likes to show what he knows and feels good at. Master Brown is a great instructor for him as well. My son needs a patient person, but also consistent high expectations with praise and consequences in the mix; he gets this every time from Master and Mrs Brown. As a parent, I like all the options for attending class, as well as the fact there are often teens and adults also in class that give my son additional role models. Additionally, they've continued to provide Zoom / FB Live classes during the COVID-19 closures which has been critical in our home to providing some normality for him. We can't wait to be able to come to face-to-face class again!
