Inconvenient location…read moredownstairs which is misleading from outside and unfair for older family to watch although the watching area is tiny --Your child cannot advance to black belt irregardless of their achievements until age 18. The head "Demasco" now has a new "martial arts" company and this is just a chain/franchise. Their website is looking for trainers-- that's kind of shady when authentic instructors need to be fully trained in their art. Chinese and Japanese martial arts fusion together? Kung Fu (Chinese) Karate (Japanese) are not respected as a blended art anywhere else in the world. They have their own distinctions respectively.

Ever since going to this gym 5 years ago I have had a laundry list of health problems. I have two…read moreherniated discs which started while training here and eventually got worse, one in my back and one in my neck. I also had at least 2 minor concussions here. The one that stands out most was when sparring an overeager new student. I literally fell over and people here hardly cared or noticed. Some of them were fine just hitting me hard in the head after it happened or just throwing me to the ground repeatedly as I did half speed kicks, even the person who knocked me down decided to swing for the fences again that same day. I have a pretty high pain tolerance and I probably didn't fully even know how hurt I was but I still think it was a little overkill and just weird to go after someone who is already obviously hurt. It's sparring not a fight. I made sure to write all this down after it happened because it was definitely not normal for this to happen at places like these. It was basically a beginner level class with some more advanced students if I remember correctly. Not a place where getting knocked out is common. I know how this sounds, it's a contact sport and stuff happens and I would have been fine with that and probably accepted it and moved on. However, the main problem is when I tried to speak to the owner several times, and one of the instructors once I did not have a good experience. I won't go into too much detail but I was accused of lying about my injuries, I was gaslit, asked if I was autistic multiple times, or they just made jokes or didn't take me seriously. The owner also thought I was a bully for hitting people hard in sparring when I was also frequently getting hit hard. The spars/rolls/clinching was often so over the top that my back literally gave out and I started to develop issues I've never had before. This place deserves a 1 star review not so much for the injuries but for being so scummy about it. If someone gets a bad injury at least be respectful about it. Would have been appreciated. The owner and anyone working for him really should take a hard look at themselves if this sort of behavior is still going on here. If someone has a complaint or concern, taking it seriously would be a good place to start. The owner also tries to get reviews deleted so I'm posting this on yelp cause it got deleted on google.

Radius has been a safe haven for me (not grey or dark at all). I'm grateful for all of the people…read moreI have met and trained with. Everyone has been enormously supportive of my growth and one another as far as I can tell. I think it can be challenging for a woman to enter a sport that is predominantly male. However, I have always felt welcome and valued-something I cannot say I have experienced at many other gyms. I see the gym as a community--something that is intentionally built by leadership at Radius.

They were alright but they didn't have what I was looking for. FitClub has good vibes and hard training.

If you're looking for professional training with World class athletes and Champions then I highly suggest you drop in for a class!

I personally have always been a fan of weight lifting and strength training but going to the Fit Club classes such as the "body shock" and "ultimate fitness" where they always mix it up and usually it involves circuit training, alternating with body weight exercises and actual weights- I have been experiencing far more intense workouts then when I used to train on my own. I've always loved working out but I've never been able to Push as hard on my own as when I'm being instructed in the classes. Oh! I finally began to join the cardio boxing classes there too! I was way too shy/nervous/intimidated at first to do this but finally gave in cause it looked so fun. I'm a total convert. Now my favorite classes are the boxing! I get such an insane workout and I have such a good time, the instructors are awesome and I love the music! Everyone who goes to this gym is so friendly and it's such a wide range of people who come in, age, fitness level, etc that l can't see anyone walking in and feeling out of place. Also, I sometimes go into the gym when there's not a class going on just to do acro-yoga and play and do my own workouts.

They truly care about the kids and their success not only with Taekwondo but in school, at home, and in life. Master KJ and WCT have boosted both my children's level of confidence in everything they do. They have learned discipline and dedication as well as how to respect themselves and others. Jennifer in the office is wonderful. She is super friendly and on top of everything, always looking out for the kids and keeping them focused, and great at communicating information about special events, camps, schedule changes, etc. We have tried various other TKD and Martial Arts studios in the area and WCT of Fairfield is by far the best and in a league of their own. Keep up the great job Master KJ and team!

I felt welcomed by everyone there. You can truly tell that the staff cares for each child that walks in the door. I wanted my son to take up martial arts because of his distractibility/lack of focus in school. Since he's been attending East Coast Academy of Tae Kwon Do his teachers have noticed such a huge improvement in his behavior & with focusing. It has also helped him with sports like Flagfootball & basketball. So if you're looking for a great organization for your child or for yourself you should truly consider East Coast Academy of Tae Kwon Do.

I called on a Tuesday last month to ask how much it cost. The man David who answered seemed pretty…read morenice at first, but he was insistent on me coming in to try. He said if I commit after my first session he will take the $50 fee for that session away which seemed like a good offer. I go and it's basically a guy who made the best of a terrible situation. The facility is horrible, but he tries to make it look legit with equipment and designing the interior of the gym (which is a basement storage closet at best and I would much rather have a trainer train me at my house). In any event the session was terrible. Most of the time was wasted by having me to jump rope and jumping jacks, then he held the hit pads things for 10 minutes then asked me to commit to a package. When he showed me the prices the lowest offer he had was something like $5,000 for 40 sessions or something absurd. I quickly left after giving him his $50 dollar fee for the wasted session. Don't ever go here, I'm surprised it hasn't been shut down yet especially in a place like Fairfield. It's a complete scam and I'm not even convinced the guy is a real trainer...
