Love this place. I started coming here around Feb of this year. My background for the last 9 years…read moreis in weightlifting and powerlifting comps so this was a big change for me. The owners JD and Troy are so welcoming and friendly and they seem to remember everyone. I got recommendations on wraps, gloves, etc. when I decided I wanted to really get into this. I go 1-2x a week and have really enjoyed getting into a new sport/hobby. The coaches are just the right amount of serious and goofy to keep people learning but also having fun. They do a good job of managing varying class sizes with people at all different levels. I've met a lot of other nice and welcoming members of the gym through the classes too. People of all different ages and backgrounds come here so it's always very diverse with who you are working out around. But everyone seems to fit in and get the attention they need in order to improve their skills. The first class is free so I definitely recommend checking this place out!

Coaches there are great, as well as the structure of the class. However, the contract stipulations…read moreare absolutely ridiculous. I called to inform them I could not physically get there because of work for 8 months. I was told to email billing to cancel. When I did I had to complete a survey for them to then reply to me to tell me I had another year of having to pay because my contract renewed in May (even though I signed up during the month of July). Do not get roped in to paying a monthly fee. Very disappointed and frustrated I have to pay $80 every month for another year... even though I cannot get to any class during the week.

Pros: Great staff…read more Great energy. Class members are supportive. Classes and workouts are easy to follow but always challenging. You'll never outgrow the system. The app allows you to track progress and has daily workouts easy to do at home. It's worth the money if you show up at least 5 days each week. Cons: There's a published "fine" for cancelling a class too late or no showing but the Timonium location has doubled it. This mostly affects the 6 & 7 am classes and early weekend classes. I will note if you have a one time legitimate reason to miss unexpectedly you can ask for forgiveness. Recently they've increased the class maximum size but the space the gym is in can't really handle the extra people and it often feels too crowded when they jam the class.

Personally, he literally made sure my number was in your phone & that I had his # the instant I initiated for a personal training. 3. Dynamically, one of the things I wanted to learn, he immediately incorporated into that days group lesson, on the same day!! Which was amazing. 4. As far as a coach can go, he always knows when who needs what & most importantly who needs to problem solve for themselves before his assists.

The first week was me asking the other guys in class a lot of very basic questions, which they were very glad to answer. Their reasoning being it is better for me to learn right than to pick up a bad habit which might hurt myself or others. The work out was nice, but in order to get the best results you need to get your reps in at home. "fatigue makes every warrior a wuss" By the second class I had the rhythm down on how classes progress. I knew what to bring and where to stand. Any drill I didnt know I asked and some one explained it. By the second week I was shadow boxing at home, in the office, just thinking about my combos. I would run after work on days I had no class and do chin ups. By the third week I felt like a champ every time I put on my gloves. and I found myself staring at myself in the mirror a bit more and liking what I saw. The coaches are there every class, this gym is not a place for judgement or bad attitudes. I was treated with respect and dignity, but I did have to bring respect and a desire to learn in order to get the most out of class. I also had to develop a personal workout routine outside of class to maximize its benefits for my own goals. I would recommend this place highly, and will continue to go in the future. PS: no one was wearing any tap out shirts or just beating on the little guy. I would know I am the little guy.

They provide the kids with everything they might need for training, including snacks for after. There's also the mentorship element to consider for the kids.

The advanced classes have a relatively high concentration of colored belts for Baltimore. So it's very well rounded skill wise. Donate to the Guardian charity!

I loved the 3-month trial option to see if my son would want to continue. The staff and instructors are incredibly friendly and helped my son feel welcomed, even with him being one of the youngest in the group.

I'm so appreciative for the family feel and personal touches to help my son feel good about continuing with martial arts here.
