My son decided he wanted to learn a martial art. Knowing nothing about the differences between…read moremartial arts, I decided to call a bunch of different gyms. Most of the gyms I called were very stand-offish and told me I should do some googling and then call them back if I had any questions. When I called Elite Taekwondo I ended up getting the Master on the phone. He was so patient and kind. Even though I asked a million "stupid" questions he answered every one of them. At the end of the call he invited us to come try out a class. My son was extremely awkward and shy. I had no idea what to expect. When we got to the gym we climbed the stairs with a lot of trepidation. What we encountered was a family. There were children and teens, moms and dads, young single adults and even grandparents. My son went into the class scared and came out so excited! The teacher was funny and made the warmups challenging but also doable for every level. When it came to learning taekwondo they gave the information in bite sized pieces that made my son beg to go back! My daughter who was very into sports and in really good shape had no intention of trying any martial art. But, after my son wouldn't stop talking about it, she decided to give it a try too. She could not believe how hard she was able to push herself. Next, some of the moms begged me to try it out with them. As someone who has been out of shape my whole adult life I did NOT want to even step foot on the mat. But when I did, I couldn't get enough. Before every class I would dread the hard work ahead, and by the end of class I couldn't believe how far I had come. Our entire family eventually ended up joining and we have never had as much fun, nor have we ever been as close as we were while training together. I never worry about my children out on their own now. I have seen my little girl throw a big burly man to the mats. I see the confidence they have and I know they can take care of themselves if they need to. If you ever wonder, the answer is yes, you should join a martial art. And yes, Elite Taekwondo is the best one to join.

Instructors are definitely knowledgeable and a master of their craft! They are all great in handling children and their students. The gym promotes good camaraderie, team work, discipline among their students (children and adults) and makes a new enrolee feels at home. I can say that everyone there knows how to have fun and knows when to be serious at their craft or work out. Prices - decent and fair

I am currently agonizing over this review because I believe it deserves a higher rating. If I was…read morereviewing this like if it was a restaurant that I had only attended one time, it would've been five stars. However, as I am a member and frequent this place multiple times a week, I cannot help notice small observations that can be easily improved. First of all the strengths. It offers a wide variety of options considering it's expansive size where there is a diverse variety of fitness options such as swimming, multitude of fitness classes, weights, cardio and the list goes on. Parking is great as it offers convenient spots for mothers and small children. There are amazing locker facilities and exclusive services for a premium (spa like atmosphere like your own personal lockers, towels service, massage, steam room, exclusive showers). Cardio machines and strength equipment are state of the art. There are treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, and stairclimbers for miles, where each is equipped with monitors that can provide internet, tv, YouTube, or strictly your workout monitor. Staff are friendly available from 530AM-1030PM. They even have child care. Despite all my praises, here are my concerns: *Entrance/Exit should have automatic sliding doors with the high volume of traffic. Although it's gentlemen like and great karma to hold the door for many streams of people, it disrupts flow, and takes up time. * It would be great to have a key fob to quickly pass through the sensors as opposed to trying to find your access card in wallet, passing it through the sensor and having to tuck it back into your purse/wallet. I know it sounds petty, but when you're pressed for time coming in 4 times a week, every second counts. Not only other clubs have this, but their fobs give you 24 hour access. *I understand that with the vast service they provide, membership is a pretty penny. I paid 700 dollars for one year. I would have liked it if they offered two semi annual payments as opposed to just monthly or one lump sum. Overall, I am very satisfied with the service at this fitness facility. It offers something for everybody no matter what your fitness level is. There are significant personal instruction, classes, and the availability of unlimited equipment. However, it is not without its minor flaws that can be easily corrected.

There are so many 'experts' willing to provide you with belts and stripes to feed your ego. At…read moreEdmonton Gracie Jiu jitsu you leave your ego at the door and come to learn. What you learn and earn is life changing. Those who criticize this honest hardworking approach are justifying why their past is better than what they might be. Why would you limit yourself this way? Fear. Fear that you may have wasted your time. Rather face the fear and make your own decision. Be your own person. Don't follow some 'guru' blindly. If you embrace this and it's not for you, what have you lost? Some time and a little money. If you sit back and criticize, you show small mindedness and fear, and worst of all an inability to learn. I have trained Gracie Combatives for 17 mos and worked with Jeff Greekas twice, recently. I am almost 50. 30 years ago I was training with the Canadian Olympic wrestling team. I feel qualified to say that this is the real deal. You won't regret the time you spend here.

Jeff has a way to pull the best out of each child while building on their weaknesses. As one of the other parents pointed out in their review, the circle time the kids have is such a great opportunity for the children to share their experiences with bullying and it really let's kids know they are not alone. Every few months, the kids have "Gracie Game Day", and must earn points at home if they want to attend. Points are based on chapter topics such as respect, citizenship, manners, responsibility & others, which the children are eager to score big points (huge for character building). I can't say good enough things about this club. 5 stars for sure!

I may have only been here once at this point but I'm already a fan on behalf of my kid. Having…read morealready been to at least one other kid's ninja facility in the past I know that this one is HUGE. And it has some really hands on and HELPFUL instructors. Even the staff that greeted me at the front desk were helpful and communicative. The bleachers included ample space to watch the goings on of a kids class. The coach really made sure my kid had a good time and checked in before and after the kid's first class. They provided enough support for the kid to learn but not be too discouraged by set backs. I also really loved that it was mostly structured time with lots of obstacle course time and effort on the various pieces of equipment. Fitset Ninja also offers so many other things from kids camps to special events and competitions though I'm not familiar with any of those just yet. Probably the only downsides of my visit was not noticing a unisex restroom and it being a bit far from some transit and parking is a bit scattered... but honestly the fitness/fun programming offered seems outstanding. The obstacles themselves seem really well used and maintained and that is the focus. My kid had a blast and I look forward to many days spent here in the future.

See website: https://fitsetninjawarrior.com Let's get right to it. The price is almost the same as any drop in but more pricier because you get the whole day if you stay but not everyone is going to stay the whole day. The pre made obstacles are somewhat doable depending on your previous experience. You could do the whole obstacle which is what most people pay for and loop it again if you have more energy. Each obstacle has its challenges so make sure your up for pulling your own weight because physically you will be. See photos attached for a rough idea. You aren't forced to do it so that's nice you can skip some obstacles. However it is mandatory to fill in a waiver form electronically or paper if applicable. Lockers are somewhat small to large but limited, you can bring your own lock or rent theirs for $1. I did at least most obstacles and their staff is friendly so they will give you a quick tour. There are other activities too if obstacles isn't your mood, such as axe throwing, room trashing for a few mins, and some sort of race track on the side, plus a kid obstacle course too but it's not that great. I look forward to their official place which will be somewhere close Kingsway mall. Recommended for active parties, and people looking to try something different for fitness. Go with a friend it will be much more fun. Share the struggle lol.
