I started out with individual training sessions which were very affordable.

I now take classes everyday and look forward to going to the gym. My previous workout was simply spin class and treadmill time but Coach Kelly introduced me to a brand new workout and it's been a complete life changer. Can't say enough good things about this place or Coach Kelly. As one of his other students said...this is the real deal.

Honestly, I would come back to Daytona just to train here again. Highly recommend this gym to anyone in the area or even just visiting!

Okay here is my fair and honest review:…read more This place is actually pretty good for learning the SKILLS of martial arts. I became pretty damn good in a short period of time. Now, with that being said, this gym is NOT friendly to anyone who doesnt fit the mold of "family oriented" meaning you will be the subject of harrassment there on all levels (physical, emotional, sexual) The husband and wife owners have some weird dynamic of the wife "fighting off" threatening females who are receiving attention from the husband because of their attractiveness and athletic potential. This can lead to situations that will put you in an unfair situation and result in serious harm to your physical health (she crushed a girls windpipe during sparring and she almost died) So with that being said, be very cautious about revealing your occupation or social media if you have an onlyfans, do web cam, or are a dancer because you will become targeted. Take care.

I have been going to this dojo for a about six months now…read more Sensei Bob Otto is a very kind and honorable man who puts his students first. I have seen the way he works with the younger students and to help them grow as individuals. They are not only learning karate, but also life skills. How to deal with bullies, how to stand up for themselves, and how to communicate effectively. Bob and his staff really take time with the kids to work with them and help them become the best they can be. I have also seen Sensei Bob Otto and his staff help older adults ease into Karate and the exercises and take their time with them to make sure that they're doing the katas and movements correctly, but also make adjustments if a certain movement is not working for the individual (such as causing pain or discomfort due to not being flexible enough yet - or previous injury). I personally appreciate it when Sensei Otto and staff take the time to show me the proper way to do the katas, strikes, and blocks. I also enjoy the style of karate taught here. Uechi-Ryu Karate-Do. It is a traditional Okinawan karate that is closely related to Southern Shaolin Tiger and Crane Kung Fu. The art has retained a lot of the flowing circular motions seen in Kung Fu. This karate style also shares a similar lineage to Goju-Ryu. This is a very effective karate for learning self defense. In the style there is an inherent focus on conditioning the body for balance and to be able to take hits (if one has to). The blocks learned in this style are also incredibly practical and powerful. They are circular movements and operate kind of like a parry. It takes a bit to learn to do effectively but I can't argue with the practical applications. Sensei Bob Otto also brings other things into the mix to keep things interesting. Sensei Otto is a certified Krav Maga instructor and has some experience in Brazillian Jiu Jitsu. He is also a fan of boxing / kick-boxing and will often include drills and techniques from Krav Maga, BJJ, and Boxing/Kickboxing to switch things up, keep things interesting, and as he says "To add more tools to your toolbox". Everyone has been very kind and supportive and has offered me help when I have struggled. This dojo has a very nice family-like atmosphere. I always look forward to classes and always enjoy myself. If you're interested in the martial arts, this is definitely a great place to check out!

I signed him up to try their complimentary classes. This is the only place I've been to that gives you 2 weeks of complimentary classes to see if you like it. They have quite a few programs available for kids as well as adults. All the instructors are really personable & friendly. The kids really love them & they handle large classes well. After the 2 week trial period my son decided he liked it & we signed up for the program which is a 1 year commitment. They have 3 different program levels available which they offer 3 payment options. You can put a small down payment & pay the rest over monthly installments, the next option is a larger down payment with the balance broken up into 2 more payments or you can pay all at once with a 25% discount off the full price. They offer 2 different age groups of kids classes, one for the little guys up to 5 years old & the older kids up to 12. The classes are a good size, about 20+ kids. Once they warm up they split the group up separating the older & bigger kids from the smaller ones. The classes are run efficiently & the instructors do a good job of keeping the kids focused & on point. They attend competitions during the year if your child is interested in competing. There is also adult classes available.

TESTIMONIAL REVIEW FOR THE HIT FIT GYM IN APOPKA…read more So, I saw a post on Facebook saying they were looking for 20 people to join a weight loss challenge at this gym in Apopka, FL called the HIT FIT GYM. I looked into what this gym was all about and thought to myself that I really don't know if I can even do those exercises, as I weighed at the time 290 lbs. So, yes, I am morbidly obese, as the doctors call me. Therefore, I was very skeptical about the HIT FIT GYM and my capabilities in actually being able to do the full challenge. I am very happy that I did not listen to my head or gut and went against everything I have ever known and step into an uncomfortable area in my life, that being the HIT FIT GYM. I had, what they call, gym anxiety before I walked into that door; I mean, what 290 lb. woman wouldn't, right? Well, after my consultation, that all went away pretty much. I met Nicole, the owner, who is very sweet and explained everything perfectly; she made me feel so welcomed. Then, I met one of the trainers, Sabrina, a little ball of "excited to make you sweat" fire; she is awesome! I explained that I have a really bad knee and can't really do lunges, jumping or running without it making my knee hurt even worse than it already does, and that I have had surgery on it and it just made it worse, rather than better. She was, and still is, amazing in giving me modifications on the exercises that have things I can't do just yet because of my weight vs. my knee. Now, in time when I lose more weight, I will be able to do all the exercises as they are shown on the videos. Sabrina is also very good at pushing you to keep going and motivated. Also, this gym is like family; if you can go at the same time every day, you will pretty much see the same faces, and the best thing is we make each other feel good by encouraging one another to keep going and not give up. That is another thing I love about this gym. One lady had asked me how much I had lost in my first month of being there, and I told her I had lost 10 pounds and she smiled at me and said I could tell, you are looking good and doing great, keep it up! That really made me feel good. So, if you are unsure about being a bigger person and doing the HIIT workouts, don't be; Sabrina and all the other trainers are there to help you, and if there is something you can't physically do, they will give you an exercise that you can do. You never have to worry about being embarrassed about not being able to do this or that exercise because you will be doing some sort of an exercise, and that is all that really matters. This gym keeps you moving and burning the calories and building your endurance. When I first started, I couldn't finish all 10 zones the first couple of times I went and I thought for sure that I was going to pass out; but now, only 2 short months later, I am finishing all 10 zones and then I do some more zones. I am burning over 400 to 500 calories per workout, depending on how I am feeling that day. I have gone from a size 24 to a size 18 in jeans and went from 290-lbs to 276-lbs. Yes, I have only lost 14-lbs, but hey I will take that. I always look at the non-scale victories in which I went down 4 sizes in my jeans, my cardio endurance has gotten way better and my bloodwork; well let's just say my doctor just about fell out of her chair when she saw it. What else is there to say other than its PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION! And it's all thanks to THE HIT FIT GYM. By Jean Jonas 11/14/19 member since 09/11/19

The coaches are skilled and genuinely friendly and engaging, and you will push your limits, learning some real boxing along the way. The caution: Be wise. Stretch a full 15 minutes before class starts. Once class starts, there can be peer pressure to do everything coaches say, and to not feel like the weak link in games. Don't let that get you hurt! Be you. Take a break if you need one. Positive highlights: Coaches Seth, Arjay, and Bobby I go to the most because their sessions are really fun and also challenging, and you'll both get a great workout and also come out of it healthy and not overcooked.
