    You will not regret trying a workout with Junko. When I started cardio kickboxing, I had no…read moreexperience and Junko welcomed me and helped me to feel comfortable. The workout is intense but Junko is really good at modifying on an individual basis. I am not the most coordinated person and sometimes I get confused and I have to stop to regroup and I never feel like I'm being judged. There is so much positive energy in the room. It is a full body workout and leaves a different part of me feeling sore every week. I leave feeling strong and confident. Music is great and the workout goes by really fast because it takes a lot of focus. If you do this workout consistently you will be in great shape. Highly recommend!

    I took a class today with Audrey. Her class is on Wednesday mornings at 9:30 am and is a full 60…read moremin. This class is very intense and an effective cardio workout...you will sweat buckets. You get a really great amount of cardio in. There's a lot of lower body workouts with squats and lunges. Audrey is so sweet, energetic, enthusiastic, and happy to help. She gave great modifications when needed, and the class itself was hard for me but super fun. I walked out feeling great! Gym was clean and there's lots of parking. There is one bathroom. Loved the upbeat music but the best part was everyone was super friendly! If you want to get an AWESOME workout and be in stellar shape, come here. Doesn't matter if you're a newbie or advanced, this place is great for either. Highly recommend if want a sweat session without the crazy bootcamp instructors. ;) The gym is currently doing a special for new clients where you get 2 FREE classes and 30-Minute personal training session.

    I will get straight to it IF YOU ARE AN ADULT DO NOT COME HERE, this is a CHILD'S DAYCARE CENTER…read more The instructors are absolutely phenomenal. If you are a beginner AND A CHILD or young teen, this is the place to be. If you are an adult don't waste your time. I would recommend sweet science, black house mma, or hill street boxing in Long Beach. You will not find calculated aggression here, you will be paired with a child wearing a Pablo Escobar shirt that is half your size to hold pads for.... Wow GREAT TRAINING! Also why have literally an entire closet of gear and harp on having to buy your own gear? Yeah we can argue about hygiene. If hygiene is your priority then get rid of the closet that has literally every glove size and shin protector size. KEY POINTS NOT FOR ADULTS NO IRON WILL BE SHARPENED HERE STAFF IS AMAZING!

Jake is the main instructor for the beginning classes and he is great. Patient, funny, and very experienced. His instructions are clear and he provides helpful feedback. At first, I was uncomfortable because I don't like people touching me, but it's fine since i was always partnered with a woman. The kickboxing classes are great as well. I suggest taking your own gloves if you can. It's an intense cardio workout. As someone who has been harassed and assaulted in the past, I feel so much more confident and stronger now!!

    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.

    I started coming here after departing from 24 hour fitness. I was at 24hr fitness for over 10 years…read moreand I just had enough with the one at hermosa. It wasnt well maintained, dirty. Bathrooms smelled like horse manure. Filthy all around. Dont even get me started on the sauna. Mold and tore down all bad! Ive had the same experience with other neighboring 24hr facilities as well. Anyways, everything is clean here and just better options plus more. Highly recommend it here and they have a cryo chamber! Just costs a lil extra.

    Good location, hours, classes. I like how there are a lot of free weights; machines and there is a…read morelarge variety of cardio equipment. The tidiness of the gym could be improved; meaning, people do not always re-rack their weights and I am always having to hunt for certain plates. The restrooms could use some work, and I honestly, I have been to gyms that are way cleaner, but I guess that's what you get for a busy, popular gym. They honestly need more cleaning staff, and paper towels in the restrooms. But, these are all issues that you may see at other gyms. What I do NOT like is how pushy they are trying to get you to sign up for personal training. I asked for help on a machine that wasn't at my old gym, and next thing I know, the person signed me up for a free fitness consultation. So, I showed up. I already know what I need to work on and I am not new to exercising. I follow a certain plan already, and I am on a specific workout plan through my trainer that is provided by my health insurance. I switched gyms because I wanted one closer to home. They try to sell you on personal training, but I already have a program through my health insurance and they are VERY PUSHY about trying to get you to sign up. I told the sales man that I could not afford it because it isn't in my budget and they just won't stop. Besides, I get training for FREE. Why would I want to pay for extra? Well, he scheduled me for a follow up in 2 weeks. I find out a week later that he reschedules me TWICE without even asking me if I was available! No text, no email, NOTHING- just a notification on my UFC gym app. What the hell? I don't do this with my own private clients for my job and assume they are available to meet with me. I have to work at the time he rescheduled me for and I CANNOT miss work. I canceled that second rescheduled time and I am seriously not interested anymore! It's like I am not important so he just changes my appointment time... TWICE. That's probably better anyways because I did better on my own and it's too much stress and pressure to deal with. Now I just plan to work out and not even bother with personal training. Personal training is good for those people who have NO CLUE what to do. Maybe ask those people at the gym for personal training. Don't ask me because I'm just going to not even respond.
