In the month he was there he was cancelled on majority of the days after paying full fee. 2 hours before his class texted me "options" on parting ways, or paying more for less classes. We had him enrolled in going 5x a week but he was going 1-2x a week for still full fee. I feel like they pick and choose who they want to help. I went yesterday to pick up the cash return and the encounter was not handled appropriately, didn't even acknowledge me just handed the money. I'm not one to leave reviews, I was very excited for this opportunity but how our experience was very disappointing.

He takes the time to pay attention to each of his students. The class is a decent size and everyone is super friendly. I found the cost to be very reasonable compared to other workout options in the area. I appreciate that the first class is free to try out. Sometimes it does get a bit warm inside the gym. However they have huge fans and I mean it's a workout after all. The workouts are pretty intense. However it feels amazing when you've pushed through a class without completely giving up. I can already tell I'm improving only after a few lessons. You don't have to be crazy in shape to go here. The community is super supportive and will cheer you on as you work towards your fitness goals. I would highly recommend working out here.

It is a dynamic fitness experience that teaches real punches and kicks, timing, proper movement, take-downs, and other real life fighting techniques that many other "kickboxing" classes don't teach.

The people there are really friendly as well.

I've loved the few times I've been to BC and their Lakeland events, but today really made me…read moreappreciate this place. I went to a 5:30 barre class and during the warmup began feeling very lightheaded. I hadn't eaten enough, and I just realized it. I sat down a couple time during the class (which felt especially awkward since there were only 3 people in class) because I feared I'd pass out. This happens a lot to me, but it's not fun. I felt the color flush from my cheeks. The instructor checked on me quietly to make sure I was fine, and had the front desk attendant follow up. I was eating nuts in the lounge area and the front desk girl offered me an ice pack and protein bar. I took the bar and ate it but still wasn't feeling well. She checked on me again and offered to give me a free class pass so I could come back and actually enjoy the workout. She cleaned up my mat and equipment for me and told me to feel better. As someone who's fainted at concerts, doctor's offices, fast food restaurants, and everywhere else, I know how embarrassing it can be. These ladies made me feel so comforted!!! They kept class going so I didn't feel like a distraction, made sure I was okay and ensured I'd be back to appreciate the class another day. Love this community of kind hearted women!

There is plenty of parking here but we aware you will be walking a lot thru this park even if you park close or not. For the kids I recommend bringing a bathing suite as there is a little river where the kids can play and get wet also bring snacks and drinks it gets very hot and there isn't to many places here to buy food or drinks. If there is an event like there was when we visited, be ready to park on the far side of the park and walk also you can bring bikes,scooters and skates to this park. This is truly a hidden gem in Lakeland,Fl and we enjoyed visiting here.

Always a five star experience…read more There is so much parking and depending on what you want to do you can park close to where you want to be. We always park close to the main playground and start there. It's actually a giant circle when you think about it, so we start at that playground then we move on to where there's the owl playground and the spinning carousels. Then we continue onwards to the treehouse, from the treehouse we go to where there's the main building where they had shaved ice and you can get food if you want then it's an easy walk back to the car. We always bring the kids scooters because the walk is a little far for them, they are five and seven. I did learn this time around that if you are older like my in-laws this park may be a little too spaced out, especially when it's hot outside. However, there is a tram that will bring you from place to place so we did end up taking the tram from the main building back to where we parked. We spent about an hour racing around just giant park. There is a lot of shade, but also you do need sunscreen. It is a majority outside and everyone knows how hot Florida gets. I think it is brilliant that at the main building they have shaved ice. Also, at the treehouse they sell drinks, a water bottle was three dollars, which was actually pretty reasonable so I got the kids water. Even though it's hot in Florida I really like the kids spending time outside so this is a fantastic place to spend a couple hours. I'm sure we could spend even more time here if we ever decide to check out rooftop bar or the food place, but for now we've only experienced the multitude of playgrounds. It never feels crazy, busy, but that's probably because it is so spread out that families can be all over this huge park.
