You get your own gloves and a 'hand wrapping thingy' (still learning how to wrap my hand properly.)

I am not an exercise fan, but this is different. I actually have fun punching and kicking the heck out of that bag! Everyone whom I have interacted with at Glastonbury Kickboxing (100 Percent Martial Arts) is very nice. Try it out!

I'm very happy that I "took a chance" and walked in to Bare Bones. The staff is wonderful, prices…read morefair and the workout is awesome. My traditional gym workout has gotten so boring so I tried the boxing class. I feel comfortable pushing myself, or not doing so, without pressure from the instructors; we all go at our own pace with "encouragement" from the instructor. Clayton is very welcoming, Anthony's class had more boxing tips which was something I want, and even though Amber kicked my behind in her class, I left smiling. The music is perfect (shout out to Anthony with the Bad Bunny) as well. As a healthy man in his 50's, I was nervous (my skinny ass in a BOXING gym??) but I did not need to be. From the minute I walked in I felt comfortable. Super nice people in the classes as well (some very fit, others just doing their best to get a workout). Someday hoping to get real boxing classes but for now the classes are just perfect. A lot of fun, stress reliever, and a GREAT workout.

The coaches here are amazing but the biggest downfall is that the owner has absolutely no ability…read moreto provide customer service and is argumentative with anyone who enters the doors. I walked in and looked at a fellow member and literally said "she's likely going to yell at me"... my peer said "yeah me too!" She will likely respond that she is not at fault, however her inability to genuinely smile and say hello, answer a question without demonstrating irritation and complete inability to communicate with the public has caused me to both leave this facility and now tell others of my poor experience. She needs a desk person who cares about her members and can demonstrate kindness and she needs to stay behind the scenes and not be seen. Rude, disrespectful and just a horrible representation of the great coaches she has who hold that place up!

As someone who has taken both cardio kickboxing and martial arts kickboxing this place is a joke…read moreand does neither well. Kelli is a bimbo who I've overheard talking about clients unprofessionally on the phone. Guess I should have realized it was a bad sign when I saw they offer spray towns and thier gloves are pink. seriously??? Maybe it's improved since when she first relocated around the time I joined but there was barely enough room not to hit your neighbor then she ran a groupon special. Impossible to work out in those conditions and probably a fire hazard. I'm going to try ilovekickboxing in unionville and hope they are better because its hard to find a real martial arts style kickboxing class geared to women. I've tried to the jujitsu gyms and thats too hard core for me especially when I have to spar with men. When I lived down south near a military base I was spoiled with the classes I had there at a martial arts gym, I lost a ton of weight and had a blast down there with the military wives in my class even though I'm a civilian.

STAY AWAY! This was the worst experience I've ever had. Both of the reviewers are spot on. I've…read morebeen battling with the owner Kelly Kohler since Jan. 2013 for a refund. I paid in full for a 6 month contract. I told her I would not be renewing, yet my credit card was continually charged $80+/month for 5 extra months until I had to cancel my card because she fed me lies about removing my payment info. from her system. Although I enjoyed kickboxing I did not enjoy her tiny facility or her. Space was cramped, bags were broken, classes were cancelled without any notice and she constantly talked about her personal issues. She moves facilities what seems like once or twice a year. She's a thief and a con. I've received every excuse in the book as to why she can't pay me - she almost died from a blood disease, car accident, was kicked out of her apt., etc. I filed with the BBB to which she ignored their attempts to reconcile. I will now be pursuing legal action. Save yourself the money, aggravation and stress and invest in another facility!

I've been attending the academy for a couple of years and have had a great experience not only with…read morethe owners, but with members who are friendly and highly supportive. There are a variety of classes offered throughout the week and also private lessons. I've been taking privates that have 2 black belt instructors for an hour - absolutely the best way to augment the regular class learning. Anyone interested in Jiu-Jitsu and/or self defense should definitely give this school strong consideration.

I've been a student of martial arts for over 4 decades and have practiced and received senior belts…read morewithin several traditional styles (e.g., Tae Kwon Doe, Kung Fu, etc..). Without question, I have found Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (e.g., BJJ), to be both the most effective for self-defense and most rewarding from a physical and mental health point of view. I have been studying BJJ now for nearly 9 years, with all of that time at the Royce Gracie Academy of Glastonbury. For those of you looking at starting BJJ or finding a new school to train at, I can not provide a stronger recommendation than this school. I say this based on the following 3 criteria: Quality of the Curriculum Some of the primary tenants of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu are: 1. Most fights go to the ground and that's where most traditional stand-up martial arts don't adequately train or prepare their students for. 2. Using proper technique, it is very possible for a smaller, less athletic, less strong Gracie Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, to protect and defend themselves against a much larger, stronger, and more athletic aggressor who doesn't know BJJ. Learning those techniques to the extent that you can rely on them in a difficult and life-threatening situation, takes years of coaching and practice. Royce Gracie, the son of the late Helio Gracie and founder of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu has spent decades now perfecting the training curriculum that allows "any person" at "any age", the opportunity to gain this knowledge safely and sustainably. This instruction has now be codified with certification requirements in place to ensure schools have properly trained instructors/coaches. The Royce Gracie Academy of Glastonbury has that certification level and it makes all the difference. Quality of the Instructors Combined, the 4 blackbelts instructor/coaches bring over 80 years of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu experience with all of them having received their black belts from Royce Gracie himself. And for those not familiar with Royce, just look him up on youtube.... He's the GOAT and one of the reasons MMA/UFC exists today. Having 4 black belts support the student population is a luxury that has to be experienced. Every student, at every level, can engage with our instructors. Our instructors take a very focused approach to ensuring that each student is guided based on their own personal capabilities, health, and training goals and intent . Vibe within the School The Royce Gracie Academy of Glastonbury is a self-defense-focused BJJ school. We train to be able to avoid altercations and to be able to have an effective plan of defense in the event avoidance is not possible. As a consequence of the curriculum and instructors above, you should expect a highly collaborative, respectful and safe vibe w/in the school. This school is ideal for children, young adults, male/females of all ages, body types, health status, etc... This school and the students w/in it meet every new person wherever they are starting from. You will not find an environment where newbies are used by experienced students as training dummies. On the contrary, it's an expectation in our school that the more senior you are, the more time you give to your less experienced student peers to help them grow and improve. What else can I say other than, to come to the school and talk to our black belt owners Kate and Rick and try some complimentary classes. You can see for yourself if my feedback is accurate. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
