I loved the 3-month trial option to see if my son would want to continue. The staff and instructors are incredibly friendly and helped my son feel welcomed, even with him being one of the youngest in the group. We also had my son's birthday party here - and the staff and instructors were so helpful, had prepped in advance to meet our needs and best of all - the 25 kids had a blast. I'm so appreciative for the family feel and personal touches to help my son feel good about continuing with martial arts here.

I want to express my frustration with my experience at this establishment, particularly with Mr…read more Harris (or Mr. Harrison). He didn't clearly explain the contract terms, which is essential. I called on July 15 to discuss my family's in-progress move and was only able to schedule an appointment for July 23. During our meeting, I wanted to cancel the contract, but he said I must keep making payments until August, even though an extra fee was charged to my account right after signing. We're moving away, making it impractical to attend classes, yet they insist my child participate in a promotion ceremony on August 23 and that I can only withdraw after that. It's frustrating because my child isn't receiving proper instruction; although we have videos proving he isn't engaged, the instructor claims otherwise. This program seems more focused on profits than education, and I'm left confused about how to end this situation, especially with concerns about potential charges for August, September, and the mystery additional charge already taken.

The owners JD and Troy are so welcoming and friendly and they seem to remember everyone. I got recommendations on wraps, gloves, etc. when I decided I wanted to really get into this. I go 1-2x a week and have really enjoyed getting into a new sport/hobby. The coaches are just the right amount of serious and goofy to keep people learning but also having fun. They do a good job of managing varying class sizes with people at all different levels. I've met a lot of other nice and welcoming members of the gym through the classes too. People of all different ages and backgrounds come here so it's always very diverse with who you are working out around. But everyone seems to fit in and get the attention they need in order to improve their skills. The first class is free so I definitely recommend checking this place out!

Along the way, he's developed discipline, cultural appreciation, and confidence. The instructors are exceptionally knowledgeable and patient, taking the time to ensure each student understands techniques while fostering growth and self-assurance. They strike a perfect balance between structure and encouragement, challenging students to improve while keeping classes fun and engaging. It's clear they care deeply about helping students grow both physically and mentally. The studio itself is clean, well-organized, and rooted in a strong sense of community. I highly recommend Quest to anyone looking to study martial arts in a positive, professional environment.
