Everyone is so kind and energetic, and coming in for workouts here is both fun and satisfying (as long as as you like getting your butt kicked during your workout). I never leave this place with regret. It always feels great knowing that I have dedicated time to better myself.

Coach Britt takes the time to thoroughly explain and demonstrate the techniques. My fellow students are more of a community, supporting each other to the max. Interspersed with the physical and mental training is the camaraderie (and in my case teasing... as the "Old Man" it comes with the territory) associated with being part of a team. The sessions include adults of all ages and experience levels, so no one feels awkward; you immediately are welcomed into the fold.

Our 13 yr old son had been attending the kids self defense class for 2 and half years. The environment is very friendly and family like, very comfortable. Our son learned a lot and most importantly it helped him with self-confidence at school as he is of average size. Then he moved to the more advanced class. World class ! The coach Britt is a world class master for practical real life self defense, knows how to train very well, energetic, makes each session very interesting, engaging. Truly God sent coach. Highly recommend for kids, teens , adults. Time and money well spent !

So before one writes a negative review, find out first what you love and works for you, then search for a gym that will help you get to your body goals. Many people Love Equinox, tons of equipment, been there done it, and please don't get me wrong, it is a good gym, but it's not for me. I love their class schedule, I can go to any of their classes, and I always get an amazing workout. My favorite so far is kickboxing, keeps me on my toes, yasss! All of the trainers are great people and keep you motivated from beginning to end. Will soon try private training w/ Moe, who is a professional boxer, super excited! I highly recommended this gym.

I can't comment on how the classes are because it never made it that far. When I called, I asked…read morefor pricing information and the lady on the phone sidestepped my question and asked "When can you come down?". As a sales manager, I was actually impressed but I asked again and she said she would "email me all the information". I relented. That email was just a video of the gym. That's called a lie. I went down there while they had a class going and it was extremely loud but I said I would come to take a class in later that day. Before I left, the lady asked if I wanted to buy the wraps now (skin in the game tactic) and I said no. When I arrived for the "free class" the man behind the counter said, "1st class will be $25 and wraps are included". I asked what the monthly charge is and he said "We go over that after class" I said I am not going to buy wraps if I don't know what the monthly charge is. He looked at me with disdain but quickly went back to the cheerful salesman. Another person started going over the prices with me and it reminded me of a follow-the-ball under-the-cup game. She kept flipping the paper over to show their "amazing schedule" which I admit was pretty good. I couldn't afford it but even if I could I don't think I would have signed up. Just be transparent and don't waste my time.

Its generic strip center home flanked by McDonalds and Dairy Queen notwithstanding, I was expecting a gimmicky variation on the Curves theme -- exercise by exposure. Boy was I wrong! 9Round the 30 minute kickboxing gym kicked my relatively fit (not to be confused with shapely) butt! Here's how it works: There are 9 stations set up around the gym which you rotate through for 3 minutes (you can do anything for 3 minutes) each. My trainer, aka Megan "The Machine" Beavis quickly and efficiently told each person exactly what to do, the bell rings and we were off. The exercises are specific to every "boxer" and change every day. It's truly remarkable. Not only was I able to take out my frustrations by hand and by foot on several different-shaped bags (heavy, speed and eliptical), I was able to drop in on my own schedule and burn somewhere between 300-500 calories almost as fast as I could say Muhammed Ali. All the trainers are certified and the owners, husband and wife Shaun Berner and Tina Valaouras are both professional Kickboxers. Classes: Kickboxing all day, every day Schedule: Very flexible. Opens at 6:30 3 days a week and until 8 Mon-Thursday. Atmosphere: New, clean equipment, efficient use of space. Everything you'd expect in a boxing gym but the ropes. Price: $49 a month for unlimited classes Extras: When you enroll you get your very own pair of gloves and hand wraps. Cherry on top: you can choose your own boxer name. Also access to a proprietary nutrition guide

Nick and his instructors are top notch professionals who make it a point to connect with every student. They make sure new students are given a comfortable place to practice and learn while still giving the experienced athletes the space they need to work and sweat. FAA-CT is MMA-focused so very little time is spent on the structure and rituals you may have experienced in traditional martial arts. The gym is kept clean and the atmosphere is loosed and fun while still maintaining high levels of focus and safety for all. They are also very affordable compared to comparable MMA gyms in the area. The best endorsement I can give comes from my kids. My 9yo daughter checks the class schedule a few times a day and won't stop asking what class is next and how many days away it is. My 15yo has found a new extended family. She leaves every workout glowing not because she's learning how to fight, but because every adult in the gym has taken the time to learn her name and gives her the "good work" fist bump after every class.

The room is large and well air conditioned, which is good as we all get our sweat on. The instructor (Tammy) was very welcoming, explained how Zumba works for first timers, and encouraged us to focus on the footwork if we were getting lost doing the moves. I enjoyed the friendliness of the participants, the encouragement of the instructor, and the volume level of the music. My one complaint is it is not always easy to see the instructor, if she was on a raised stage that would be better. If you are expecting a gym environment, that is not the case. There are no locker rooms and limited restrooms. Overall, this was a very positive experience, and I may return.
