Systems training center camp review:…read more Our kids had an amazing experience at Systems Training Center Summer Camp! Every week brought a new theme that kept them excited to come back--from movie making and engineering challenges to building a utopian city and exploring cultures from around the world through food, dances, and traditions. The camp does a great job balancing indoor activities with fun walks outside, giving the kids plenty of opportunities to stay active while learning. More than anything, it's a safe, encouraging environment where kids can be loud, get messy, make mistakes, learn from them, and build confidence and independence along the way. The staff truly cares about the kids, and you can see it in everything they do. If you're looking for a summer camp that's fun, creative, educational, and helps your child grow, I highly recommend Systems Training Center. It's a place every parent should consider!

Important note: This review pertains specifically to the Systems Training Center Summer Camp, not…read morethe dojo's regular martial arts instruction. My son attended the summer camp/day program only and was not enrolled as a regular martial arts student. I enrolled my son hoping for a fun, safe, and well-supervised summer experience. Unfortunately, that was not our experience, and I would not enroll him again. The camp often felt disorganized and seemed to operate without much advance planning. Activities appeared to change from day to day, and there was little evidence of a structured program. The first warning sign came during my son's first week. After only a few days, he came home, burst into tears, sobbed in my arms for more than ten minutes, and begged me not to make him return. He described the environment as "overwhelming" and "overstimulating" because of the constant screaming, yelling, and disruptive behavior from some campers. Those concerns continued throughout the summer. To be clear, I understand children sometimes struggle with emotional regulation and behavior. My concern is not that children are expected to be perfect. My concern is that I expect adults supervising a children's camp to appropriately manage disruptive or aggressive behavior, protect all campers, and provide an environment where children feel safe. Based on both what I observed and what my son consistently reported, I did not feel that happened. For example, my son reported that one camper became upset during a game, ran at him while screaming, and grabbed at his clothing. He also reported this was not an isolated incident but part of a pattern of repeated screaming, tantrums, and disruptive behavior from this camper and another camper that made him increasingly uncomfortable attending camp. My biggest concerns, however, involved supervision and safety outside the dojo. My son reported that counselors took campers on neighborhood "ninja walks" and encouraged them to practice parkour on nearby structures, including climbing a structural wall at a neighboring apartment complex using decorative rocks as footholds. He also reported a counselor challenged the children about who was "brave enough" to jump from what he estimated was a very high wall into an enclosed area below. My son declined to participate because he felt uncomfortable and became so distressed that he cried. What surprised me most was that I was never informed campers would routinely leave the dojo for these neighborhood activities. Nothing in the written materials or waiver explained that campers would be practicing parkour throughout the surrounding neighborhood. The paperwork states parents would receive advance notice of field trips. In my opinion, taking campers outside the dojo and throughout the neighborhood constitutes an off-site activity that parents should be informed about beforehand. When I later spoke with the camp director, she confirmed that these neighborhood "ninja walks" are a regular part of camp and stated they have permission from neighboring property owners to use parking lots, areas between buildings, and other structures. That was the first time I had heard that explanation. She also said part of the camp's philosophy is "stretching the kids to their limits." While I support helping children build confidence and resilience, I believe those challenges should occur in a carefully supervised environment with clear communication to parents. I also had concerns about security. During the entire camp session, I was never asked to show identification when picking up my son. On multiple occasions, counselors were on their phones when I entered the dojo and did not even look up to acknowledge who had come through the door. The surrounding neighborhood also concerned me. During drop-off and pick-up, I observed several individuals who appeared homeless and/or intoxicated. One individual in particular was dirty, disheveled, and wearing torn, soiled clothing. I watched him stand outside the dojo for several minutes with his face pressed against the glass doors and his hands cupped around his eyes so he could look inside and watch the children. Learning that campers were routinely taken on walks through this same neighborhood only increased my concern. When I discussed these issues with the director, I did not feel my concerns about supervision, behavior management, communication with parents, or safety were meaningfully addressed. Every family has different expectations, and some children may have a wonderful experience here. This review simply reflects ours. I was looking for a camp with consistent supervision, proactive communication, thoughtful behavior management, and strong safety practices. Based on what I personally observed and what my son consistently reported, I do not feel this summer camp met those expectations, and I would not enroll him again.

Over the years they've continually upgraded their equipment, improved the layout, and made changes that have only made the gym better. During COVID, they adapted quickly and made decisions with their members' health and safety in mind, which I really appreciated. The expanded women's locker room is a great addition, and I love that they've added an entire section of glute-building equipment along with cold plunges. The huge outdoor workout area is perfect, especially with the beautiful weather lately. The gym is thoughtfully organized into different sections, making it easy to focus on whatever muscle group you're training. One of my favorite perks is the recovery room. After a tough workout, I can use the Normatec compression boots or relax in the red light therapy beds to help with recovery. It really feels like a complete fitness experience. To top it all off, Coast Laundry and their wash-and-fold service are right next door, so I can get my laundry done while taking care of my health. It's incredibly convenient to knock out multiple errands in one trip. I truly love this place and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a gym that continues to invest in its members and improve year after year.

I've always wanted to be a part of a discipline that has a strong connection to its Eastern origins. After two years of training, I can say that this style of karate is the best that I've ever been a part of. I have never felt like I was being mistreated or in a manner that doesn't allow me to improve. I am allowed to ask questions. I do get corrected if I am doing something incorrect just so I can understand the application and how it can be applied. I should mention that this dojo includes members that have a direct connection with Tsutomu Ohshima, the founder of Shotokan Karate of America. All members of this dojo are great to train with. There is no ego. Nobody is there to show that they are better than everyone else. It's a great learning environment. Please know that this isn't a McDojo of any kind. If you're thinking of signing up to become a black belt in 6 months, then this may not be the right place for you. There is no color belt system, so there may be some frustration being a white belt for at least the first couple of years. But there are also special training moments that can help the student strengthen their physical and mental capabilities. Taking part in these trainings along with attending classes on the regular, advancement in rank can and will be achieved. I cannot recommend this dojo enough. If you're looking for a legitimate form of karate that will help you not only develop strong techniques in self defense, but it will help one improve on many other areas in life. You'll get back what you put in! As of March 2024, the dispensary that was next door has relocated. This has created a much healthier training space.

I came in with some boxing experience, and since training under him I've gotten stronger, way more confident in sparring, and more disciplined with my training and nutrition. I rarely miss a class because I genuinely look forward to showing up and seeing what I'm capable of. Coach Bryan is the real deal. He's a pro boxer, so the knowledge he brings to every session is the kind you just can't get everywhere. He gives individual feedback, he's encouraging, and he pushes you because he actually believes you can do hard things. The community is another big reason I keep coming back.

The gym has great hours so if you're an early riser Coach Juan will greet you as early as 5am! And if I'm not mistaken they have classes into the evening as late as 7p. I've learned things from all of the great coaches here working with all of them over the years. Currently I'm working with Coach Bryan, a professional with an undefeated record! They have great kids classes too which my son has participated in and enjoyed! It's affordable, and they adjusted my membership to fit with my schedule. They have two rings, plenty of bags, and a freeweight area. Oh and also a large MMA room. I most enjoy the camaraderie, respect and equality amongst everyone there. Boxing is an international sport and that is evident here as I've met people from all over the world here. I've made new friends working out with and sharing the ring with. We have FUN!

Wow!! Had my stretching session with Cameron and my sister had hers with Amir and these two people are kind, knowledgeable, down to earth, and non judgemental. Felt amazing after every session so far that I've had there. Assisted stretching is really different than regular stretching and using the theragun to loosen up muscles in between was the cherry on top. This place offers a couple things, 25 min or 50 min stretching sessions and teknek classes which essentially are stretching classes aimed at resolving tech neck. The teknek classes allow you to use a couple of fun things like inversion tables and hand massagers. The 25 and 50 min sessions are assisted stretching and they use theraguns and sometimes compression boots. I recommend both HIGHLY. The actual space is very calm and therapeutic with an open layout and light hardwood floors that make you feel relaxed. No music playing either, just friendly conversation between the teachers and students. Overall, the people at stretch lyfe, the quality of the sessions/space, and the information you gain about your body and muscles are all reasons to keep coming back. read more

I was originally thinking about getting a massage, but I really like how stretching gets you balanced and helps your muscles line up and work the way they are supposed to. A massage relaxes you, but a good stretch session almost feels like a reset for your whole body. This is a great way to start the year off right, with your body stretched out instead of tight and worn down. If your muscles are tight, if you are under a lot of stress, or if you have been traveling a lot, I think you should seriously consider getting stretched. I cannot think of a better place to do that than the Stretch Spot, and Nate did a fantastic job with me.

Then, I met (other) Sara, Jeff, and elle jeffe Frank. All of them took care of me with the same level on care and consideration that (primary) Sarah did. They definitely have some quality continuation of care notes going on! Would recommend 100%.

Have never been to PT, couldn't have asked for a better crew! Have worked with them for 5 months…read morefor a pinched nerve (was in bed for the first month, it was that bad). Jeff, the Sarah's, Frank- all of the therapists are top notch. Even the assistants, who guide you through your stretches, etc before and after being attended to by one of the PT's are great. I worked with Jeff the most and he really had a sense of what was wrong with me, and was instrumental in my recovery. I can't thank them enough!

I quit Bunda after two months. It was so fun at the beginning but the workout gets old quick…read more There's only so much you can do with a Stairmaster and dumbbells. The floor workouts are completely rushed and they expect you to do heavy weights AND high reps in the 6-8 minutes your round lasts. That's not really possible to do without sacrificing good form. I'm trying not to injure myself thanks. Also, if I want to modify, I'm going to modify despite their silly rules as long as it's not a completely different workout as it's my workout I'm paying for.
