Went down to visit some family for a week and wanted a reasonable well rounded gym to train for a few days. Venom gym exceeded my expectation as a world class gym! The staff was very friendly and just signed me up for free test session for the week. The equipment was brand new, Clean and not crowded. Along with the fact they had everything anyone could ask for, boxing equipment, MMA equipment, CrossFit/cross train ect. Could not find any missing equipment. Really had a great time and I'm looking forward to stopping in again. read more

My family and I joined at the end of January 2021 and are loving the results we are seeing. My kids love the boxing and jiu jitsu classes and my husband and I enjoy the boxing and boot camps. The gym is always clean and organized and the trainers are welcoming and encouraging. I recently started the nutrition management that they offer and in the past 30 days I have dropped a pant size feel so much better! Thanks Darren for creating an environment that works! read more

Venom Fitness is an amazing gym with phenomenal and professional instructors/trainers. The members were welcoming and the classes are highly recommended. This gym is spotless and they have spray cleaner and paper towels around every corner as well. Once I arrived in the area, I had to search for a gym that would challenge me and give me actual results. It took me a few places until I found Venom, but I am so glad I did. read more

The owner was a disgusting excuse for a human being for molesting the kids he trained there. The gym is "temporarily closed," though I am wiling to bet it's a permanent closure since the owner is dead. The older review from 5/2022 below was on point, and the member who wrote it was obviously an astute person. Good bye, and good riddance to a monster who had no business being around kids. read more

As a fitness junkie, I have been to several gyms in the area, and out of area as well. This is by far the best gym I have ever been to!

There should be a zero star option. I can't believe that I was in this close proximity to a child sexual predator!! What a living nightmare for everyone involved in this horrible place. Now a crime scene due to the owner's crimes against children! This place should be completely shut down and turned into a victim's advocacy center. read more
