My experience was that I tried it. I decided its just not for me so I asked to have it cancelled. One of the owners said that they would cancel my membership and would not be charged. Though, every month I am still being billed for the membership. I got a new debit card just so I would stop being charged. I did contact them every month regarding this issue. Every month I would still be billed. so just a word of caution for those who may not want to commit to this membership. It was harder than ending a gym membership to be honest.

They had a special going for $20, three classes and a free pair of boxing gloves. The staff upon entering the facility are very helpful. You check in using there tablet when you walk in. Workouts start promptly at whatever time you come in for. It begins with a warmup for about 15min that kicks your butt. After the warm up I had hoped we were done haha. Being a newbie, the instructor was very helpful in showing me the moves and made sure I understood the routine. Overall, I left this place exhausted and sweaty but felt great and accomplished. Next time I'm in town I look forward to coming back using my next two sessions. Great workout, good time, and very rewarding!

But, I kept getting charged, even though I couldn't participate. I contacted the owner via email and he kept referencing their "policy" and refused to refund the money. After doing some research, this seems common practice for this business. It's a shame bc the people who work there are really cool. I would not recommend this business.

Be careful with what you sign. While some of the staff are nice, there is little honesty. The…read moredetails are in the contract so read all the fine print. Don't expect a refund and realize it is very difficult and costly to get out of a membership. This place draws you in on the 6 Week Challenge but it is all a money scam. The staff push the membership instead and offer you a flash drive with meal suggestions which they consider the nutritional offering. Maybe if you hesitate enough, they may even throw in a pair of gloves. But you pay for them too because you can't easily get your membership cancelled. The staff "forget" to cancel your membership or there is a paperwork error only to realize you are continuously being charged. I had to call my credit card company and tell them to block this charge in order to get it to stop. This was only after being charged an additional $200 "early cancellation fee." The whole thing is a money scam. I met very few people who were regular members and stuck with the exercise plan. In fact I witnessed health crises where people had to break from the class to rest or actually leave the facility only to be called out by the staff and humiliated for taking care of their own health. There is no acknowledgement of fitness and out of shape people are brought into rigorous classes with no regard for health and conditioning. It's a scary health situation that is a disaster in the making. I recommended the staff create leveled classes. For example, beginner to learn the fundamentals, middle to push the exercise, and advanced for the full out program. I was told this is not the place for that and if people couldn't keep up they shouldn't join. But clearly many out of shape people looking for a chance to get back into exercise are signed up with no regard for health and ability to keep up. There is a heart attack waiting at the door of this place. It is not worth it especially because there are many well respected and caring trainers available to work with people for far less the cost than this place. Think before you sign.
