I've been coming to Takeover Athletics (formerly CrossFit Takeover) 3-4 times a week for the last 4…read moremonths. I have done the CrossFit classes, FLEX class (combination of condition, weightlifting and accessory work), Olympic weight lifting class and yoga classes. My 9 year old is also enrolled in the CrossFit kids class. As a newbie to CrossFit, I love this place. The intimidation was initially there but it was really self vs self. Everyone is so welcoming and very helpful. No judgment at all. From day 1, I have been welcomed with open arms. There are a lot of coaches and they all have the heart of a teacher. Prior to this, I spent 7 months with a personal trainer who was very popular on social media. However, I have learned way more in 4 months at Takeover than I did in 7 months with a PT. I am also in the best shape strength and conditioning wise. I'm still a beginner but every class I get better and I love it. I can not say one bad thing about this establishment. I highly recommend it. Just the family like environment makes this place the best gym locally.

You also won't be waiting around to use a machine, never overcrowded. South Beach is a great workout atmosphere and the people are really seriously so nice! This gym breeds winners! If you're looking to train for a competition there're trainers that work right in the gym. They all know how to get the job done, I speak from experience. This doesn't mean there're going to work out for you, sure you're doing all the work, but they can guide and teach you the right way to reach your goals. The only thing I could grip about is the hours. Other than that give it a try, all you've got to lose is pounds! :)

I never in a million year thought I would join a CrossFit gym. I found them intimidating and not…read morevery welcoming the few times I took a complimentary class elsewhere. Somnium has completely changed my mind about that! From the second I walked in the door just to get more information I felt welcome. I love the fact that there is a Phase One (beginner class) that you can stay in for as long as you want to get comfortable with the "lingo" and movements. Coach Brian is so kind, patient and a amazing coach/teacher! I was surprise by how quickly I caught on and how excited I was to move onto the regular group classes! The biggest thing I have learned through the all the coaching is that CrossFit actually is for everyone. There is not a single activity that can't be scaled to your ability. The coaches never leave you on your own to figure out how to scale if you need to - and they give you that push to break out of your comfort zone when you don't believe in yourself. (Shout out to Ian and Tyler there!!!) On top of the top notch coaches they have the BEST members in town! You'll hear it over and over - but it's true - I joined a gym but ended up with an extended family!!! I have lost weight and gained muscle which is awesome but what I did not expect to gain was a new found confidence in myself - that's worth more than i can even explain. It may sound dramatic but joining Somnium saved me when I was in a pretty low place and I am happy everyday I walked in the door to take a chance!

As a 47 almost 48-year-old with no martial arts experience I was a bit apprehensive about starting…read moremy journey. After a bit of research, it was suggested to train in Muay Thai at my age, after further research, and visiting and speaking with head instructor Wahsei I made the decision to train at Eastern Academy of Mixed Martial Arts. I have been only training, for a little over a month and I am really glad I started Muay Thai and chose to train here. Head instructor Wahsei is extremely patient no matter what your skill level is. He is extremely knowledgeable in a multitude of martial arts and spends a lot of his own resources to attend further trainings and seminars in order to improve upon his own training and teachings. A great example of this, is when I had some issues getting my foot work correct during a drill. Instead of trying to keep the drill up and causing frustration for myself, he switched to two different drills that covered the same exact principle but was easier for more to conceptualize. The students in the classes are very patient as well and are very welcoming. You can easily tell they are well trained, disciplined, and follow the golden rule. If they see you struggle with a concept or drill, they will stop and help you within the moment to get you back up to speed. They understand they were beginners once as well and are always willing to help you. Not a lot of people have that mentality. The facility is well equipped, extremely clean, and always being updated. I have really enjoyed my time here so far. I am starting to feel better about myself and have been getting into a routine for a healthier lifestyle. If you are thinking about a martial art, whatever skill level you are, do not wait (I wish had not) and stop by or contact Head Instructor Wahsei.
