The staff here was nice enough and they seem to know what they are doing. The low review rating is…read moremostly about my perceived value (or the lack of it) in attending training here. Attended a few training sessions at their much reduced "teaser" rate. They REALLY pressure you to sign up for an annual, pretty non-breakable contract. Their monthly contract cost is pretty high considering that 99% of the training consists of exercises that I can do all by myself... such as running around the perimeter of the gym, playing jump rope, pushups, situps and so on. I signed up for this training because I wanted to learn something about Korean martial arts but that training was never forthcoming. Almost all of the students are young kids. Some VERY young. I was easily twice as old as the next oldest student. If you're a parent and don't mind paying $100/mo to send your kid to a PE-oriented day care center, then this could be the place for you. But if you are an adult looking for intensive martial arts training you may well find the curriculum here disappointing. Bottom line was that I felt I was paying a LOT of $$$ for "training" that just wasn't worth the fee. If all someone wants is an intensive PE workout, there are gyms around that charge in the $10-$15 per month range for that sort of service. I would have given this place one star except that it probably is a good venue for kids who have parents with unlimited funds.
