This gym is small but has everything you would want or need for a full fitness routine. It also boasts a large area for martial arts, boxing, multiple heavy bag stations, classes included with the nominal $25 a month fee, no initiation or membership fee, month-to-month/no contract, and changing rooms with showers. There is always plenty of parking and convenient hours for most workout schedules. Its not the best if youre working out late at night though. If youre in to total fitness and adding some martial arts or boxing to your repertoire, this is by far the best gym in a 30 mile radius

Ive been going to this place for years and it continues to outshine expectations because of the owners. They care about every single person that attends the gym and constantly are improving upon the space so all of us have everything we need. The environment is great and I recommend everyone to at least give it a try

I just started my membership here, and loving it. The workout area is clean, with a clear emphasis on keeping covid out. The owner is clearly involved and cares about the gym and members. Regular classes through the week are a plus! Looking forward to alot of workouts here!

We've been taking my son to their little dragons class for a few months. Its really allowed him to focus and listen better. He has a long way to go, but the instructors are great with the kids and I see steady improvement with all those attending. They teach the basics of marital arts while allowing them to have fun. Classes for his age (4) is only 30 min which is perfect for a toddler's attention span. I love that we can sit with his younger sibling and watch what he's being taught. Uniforms are affordable and good quality. They hold up well to washing. We opted for a year contract which allows

I cant speak enough about the TKD program, gym, fitness classes, instructors, everything about this place is amazing! My children are confident, became stronger , disciplined, and live by each tenant of TKD! I highly recommend this Martial Arts program for all ages and fitness program.
