This place is outstanding! I'm a stick fighter whose been training in the filipino martial arts for the last ten years on the west coast. I sought out the Ct Academy after learning about their Filipino Martial Arts Academy association and was told that CAMA was the place to go on the east coast. I think the two instructors are outstanding and really well-priced for the amount of instruction I've received so far. The program is well-rounded, worthwhile, and seems to be tailorable to all skill levels and body types. I'm a stick girl at heart and gear my training towards that, but these guys are multi-cultural and are inspiring me to consider integrating some other stuff. They're doing kickboxing, grappling, yoga, submission fighting, traditional martial arts (with and without weapons) - so we'll see what I try next :) read more

Meet the Business Owner: Thomas W.

Thomas W. is a retired trial judge and attorney who began training in the martial arts and swimming at age 12. Tom enjoyed his first yoga class during judo training in 1979 but began formal yoga training in his twenties after watching Rickson Gracie lead a blended yoga and fitness class. Shortly after earning his 8th degree black belt, Tom was appointed to the Belting Standards Committee and asked to head Mixed Martial Arts Curriculum Development. "My goal is to make the martial arts easier to understand and apply, while simultaneously improving the overall fitness level for every martial artist in the program. This has resulted in the development and implementation of many fight conditioning drills and a blending of yoga, martial arts, and fitness training. We have something special here." Tom has two daughters, Tristan and Alexis, both of whom train in the martial arts, yoga, music, art, and fitness.

High Street Yoga is the best (HOT) yoga studio in the Westerly area…read more What sets HSY apart from other studios in the area is definitely their flexible schedule, awesome instructors, reasonable pricing & showers! I'm partial to their 6am hour of power class during the week. I actually wish Deb taught at 6am every morning but I'm being greedy. They have classes most mornings & noon then again around dinner time. Definitely check their website for a complete list but it's easy to find a class to fit into your schedule. Not all instructors here are the same but they're all great. Every one brings their own personality to class & some can be more challenging than others. So you think $140 a month isn't cheap for yoga? Well yoga is expensive but HSY is definitely most competitive when it comes to price options. A "drop in" for most studios is at least $15 & some don't let you purchase packages. HSY does offer a trial membership so you know what you're getting into before plunking down too much cash. Yoga is an investment & if you're serious you'll definitely get your money's worth. And not every studio I've practiced at has offered locker rooms and/or showers. It's great to take a shower & change into clean clothes after 90 minutes of breathing & stretching.

Westerly Fitness is one of my favorite gyms I've been to. Maybe it's because I associate it with vacation, but it's objectively a fantastic gym. To start, they offer short term passes at really reasonable rates. Even better, no cumbersome process to start-- just sign a waiver, pay, and you're on your way. The man in the front was kind, efficient and welcoming. Secondly, the equipment. This gym has well maintained, new equipment. It's spacious and immaculately clean. The members are kind and respectful. The gym is bustling but not full. No waiting for machines! This is my annual gym retreat and I'll be back for sure.

The venue has ample parking, men's/women's lockers and showers, filtered hydration stations . The gym is divided into 3 areas: Cardio/weights , workout classes and weight room . The usual players are there: Lifefitness, Rogue, Hammer Strength, Atlas, Precor , Platinum boxing and much more. Note no chalk is allowed. Members wipe down the apparatus after use which I appreciate. If you choose to workout in the mornings, Michelle will greet you with a cheerful hello as she keeps the areas clean. I highly recommend this no nonsense gym. You need to give Westerly Fitness your undivided attention. Johnny C

Dubois Beach in Stonington offered a gentle, postcard-perfect escape the day we visited- sunny…read moreskies, mild temperatures, and just enough breeze to keep things comfortable. We parked a bit up the street, which gave us a pleasant walk past charming homes and the low hum of weekend life in the borough. The beach itself, tucked at the southern tip of Water Street, was calm and inviting, with its shaded gazebo and views stretching across Fisher's Island Sound. Don't miss the granite memorial to the 1814 defense of Stonington stood quietly, commemorating the town's defiant stand against the British warship Ramillies. It's a modest but powerful reminder that this peaceful spot once echoed with cannon fire and resolve. [Review 1072 of 2025 - 125 in Connecticut - 24626 overall]

Beautiful Spot, But Pricing and Policies Hurt Locals…read more Dubois Beach is undeniably a beautiful place to spend a summer day--calm water, great views, and a peaceful atmosphere that feels like classic Stonington. The setting itself easily earns five stars. Unfortunately, the overall experience gets weighed down by the pricing and policies that make it harder for locals to enjoy a beach that's been part of the community for generations. The biggest issue is the cost. Between admission fees and parking charges, a simple beach visit adds up quickly. For visitors, that might be expected, but for residents who already pay some of the highest taxes in the area, it feels like an unnecessary burden. Locals shouldn't have to pay to park at their own town beach when they're already contributing through property taxes year‑round. It creates a sense that the beach is more geared toward tourists than the people who live here and support the community. Staff interactions can be hit or miss as well. Some are friendly and welcoming, while others come across as rigid or uninterested, especially when it comes to enforcing rules or handling questions about pricing. It's not enough to ruin the day, but it does take away from what should be a relaxed, hometown experience. Dubois Beach is a gem, no doubt--but the current system makes it harder for locals to fully enjoy it. With more reasonable pricing and a more community‑minded approach, it could easily be a five‑star destination for everyone.

We had fun exploring while there, it's a beautiful park, and very well maintained. Erik was easy to find, but Greta though there was signage was a bit more difficult to get to because of fallen trees and low branches. I think they really need to make a more open path so everyone is able to get to these amazing creations

Tom is a fantastic mentor and teacher. His classes not only instill the fighting skills but more importantly the theory and philosophy behind them. He instills confidence, passion, and respect in all his students both young and old (like myself). I could not recommended a more talented and caring Martial Arts Instructor than Tom. read more
