Luke was our personal trainer for 6 months before he moved to Temple (from Houston). Prior to…read moreworking with Luke, neither my fiancée nor I worked out regularly. His approach was to build up our strength and movements gradually to make sure our bodies could adjust. He was very cautious about not causing injury and took the time to explain the background and science behind muscle movements, strength training, importance of stretching and other components. Our workout schedule was 3 times a week and we both noticed marked improvements in our strength and muscle tone. We initially started with light weights, but improved to the point where we were using 20/25lbs weights with no problem on certain exercises. In addition to the improvements and progression we noticed in our training, we absolutely loved working with Luke. He is very genuine and truly cares about helping his clients. He was a bright spot in our lives three times a week.

Luke created friendly, motivating, and fun sessions that helped us reach our fitness goals for our kids. One of our desires was to empower the kids to own their own strength and wellness. We also wanted them to get into the habit of finding active things to do, even when it's not aerial day, or a great outdoors day. Luke has a warm personality while also being strong and inspiring. He knows his craft well and follows high morals. Luke also happens to be a family man and served in the navy, which speaks to his standards.

No one near me has the foresight to offer a 3 year old class and that is their loss because Storm is ready and willing to help me. The owner is interested, invested and attentive to the training. The instructors were very patient and focused in the teaching. Everybody is not of the right mindset to work with the tiniest of kids but somehow the owner was able to find a team that shares his vision to help families that are interested in learning. We enjoyed the class and look forward to more.

I have been taking Tae Kwon Do for many years and in various locations across this country and I have been looking for a school in the Temple TX area for about 4 years and struggled to find a school that mirrored the type of training I had received from other schools until I came upon this school. I decided to take one of their intro classes to get the feel and atmosphere of the school. I came early and sat and watched the instructor's work with all ages of students from Tiny Tots, Teens, young and older adults and was truly impressed with how well they adapted teaching methods to all age groups. There are several Black Belt instructors at the school all very skilled in keeping students focused, disciplined, and challenged in a constructive and fun way. As I sat there and observed classes, I met many parents and older students and was made to feel very comfortable and welcomed - a great sense of community and support. After taking my trial class, I knew i had found the right place for a Senior adult martial artist. I have been going to the school for about a month now and are feeling stronger physically & mentally. If you are looking for a great martial arts school for your child or yourself, come check out this school and meet Miss Kimberly Martial Artis and administrator and the head instructor Mr. Jordan you will be glad you did. Maybe you will even see me, just look for the old guy! You are never too old or young to get involved in Martial Arts .

The instruction is top notch, the people are very friendly, and needless to say, it's been great for getting in shape. Highly, highly, highly recommend Grapplers Lair for anyone interested in getting into martial arts for themselves or for their kids. It's really a great place to train.

I wanted somewhere that I would be challenged physically and would make friends. From the first conversation I had with Coach Ben, I knew 5 Hills CrossFit was that home. The programming is incredible, and you can tell that thought and strategy is put into each workout. The coaching during the workouts ensures that you are pushing yourself, but doing so with proper form and in a way that will be most beneficial to you. The coaches are ready with supplemental exercises and tips when you're struggling with a movement or if you want a little extra work on a specific area. And the community is like no other! People cheer each other on, talk to each other and there's no feeling of "being picked last in gym class" when it comes to partner workouts- everyone there wants everyone else to feel at home! I'm so thankful I found this gym and continue to look forward to being the best I can be with the coaching and the community!

TOUCHDOWN on my end!!! This rec center is newish (opened maybe 2/3 years ago), clean, and has state of the art equipment that works (unlike other fitness centers). Membership ranges depending on how long you want, but my family and I purchased the Family Package Deal--$40 for 4 people for 1 month (tongue twister). GREAT DEAL!!! All classes are included in the membership at no extra charge, which is awesome! They offer a range of classes from zumba, step, body blast, spin, and circuit training, and core training. All are super fun and you are definitely sweating at the end of them. There are also 2 basketball courts with open gym, a ping pong table, and an air hockey table. The staff is super friendly upon walk in and are willing to give you a tour of the place if you are having doubts. Again, the place is CLEAN. I hate going to work out at a gym and the place smells like straight up feet with debris on the ground as you are trying to run on the treadmill. Throwup. No, the ground is aways free from any junk, and the people who work out here are respectful. After each use of the equipment, they are running to get a wipe to wipe down the machine. THANK YOUUUU. No slipping off the leg extension machine from the previous person's sweat. So, why 4 stars?? Well, after I work out I like to go shoot hoops after. Basketball courts were closed for 2 days straight. After the 2 days, they opened up again but with a limited time frame (5am-11am Mon-Fri; 7-10pm Sat-Sun). WHATTTTT?!?! I talked to the front desk lady, who explained to be that a 25ish year old man and a 17ish year old boy got in a fight during a pick up game, resulting in the limited hours. Why did management not just take away their memberships? Supposedly the city (since they own the place) asked for management to do so. Who knows how long this will be enforced, because the front desk lady was giving out names and contact info on who to complain to. All in all, this is a great place to get in shape and lose the fat. Gotta look good for the summer!!!
