The difference between a big chain gym and a family-owned gym is that when you're a member at Clinch, you are family. The owners, staff, coaches, even other members genuinely care about each other and every person that walks in the front door, no matter your age, size, fitness or skill level. They are versatile, with a variety of classes for kids and adults, encouraging, positive, friendly, and welcoming. Personally, I have had some challenges since becoming a member that I could not have gotten through without them. When I miss a class, I'm not just missing an opportunity to workout, I'm missing Clinch... something else I never thought I'd say about a gym.

They are a lot like the old Cheers..."everybody knows your name" and I mean it. They have made such an impact in my son's life. But what I didn't expect was how much they have touched me too. I recently was in a car accident and while still in the ER they were contacting me to see if a needed anything. They operate like how business should...with heart!

I was a student pushed to achieve my black belt nearly 20 years ago and now my kids have started down the same path. Golden Knights isn't a part of a strip center or stand out location, but I highly suggest taking the time to check them out if you're looking for a great activity for your kids, to do as a family or just to train in a tradition martial art and self defense on your own. The school atmosphere at Banner Schools gymnasium is a nice added touch.

He chatted with us for a really long time, asking about what we were interested in, why we popped in, and on and on. He also told us his own history and the Boulder Yard's history. He gave us a few specific suggestions and ideas, including that his sets are a bit different than most (they are) and, more important, his floor cushioning is very different than most other gyms. It is. It is much MUCH softer than most which is good but he suggested taking a few falls before we went too high just to get used to the feel. It's also like walking on the beach --- walking from one side of the room to the other will wear out your legs. His walls are not textured (mostly) so if you're planning to smear a lot --- well, you won't. But it is more realistic this way. The majority of the place is boulders but he's also got two workout areas with equipment, two separate rooms that he uses to teach some martial arts (didn't catch what kind), and, for the helluvit, a Nintendo/Playstation/whatever setup for, I guess, if you're tired and just want to zone a bit. We'll absolutely be back. We paid $54 for two day passes; quite reasonable I think. Oh, and he does his own woodworking (as do my partner and I). Took a pic of the large benches in the front of his shop. Hand-made from some trees that he grabbed from his own yard. That was cool!!!

I wanted to train as a powerlifter (even though I'm not so strong lol), so first time I saw the website and pictures, I wasn't so into it, but I gave Chris a try. I"M SO GLAD I DID. I had several trainers before, so I know a good one when I meet one. I'm 130lbs, my 1RM squat is around 180 and 190lbs for DL. Chris knows what he's doing. His style of training is simple but effective so my lift just keep going up every week, but I got bored. So I asked him to switch to body builder kind of workout, and give me a meal plan so I can get ripped and lean AF. so HE DID. I just finished week 4 and its going very well. I got bored of the food so I asked him to give me alternatives. so HE DID. I'm cutting food and still increasing my lift. He listens to your need and create the workout for your need, while other trainer might just tell you what you need and what you don't need. And his rate is unbeatable! I bet you must pay more for anybody else in the area that can give you what Chris can. I am a college student and I still can afford it. I know he's really good at what he's doing, you can tell that the guy loves it too. Give him a chance. I will not regret it. P/S: you can meet Terry-the Duke. google him. your kids will love it there.

Having grown up in a military family, I enjoyed seeing how they incorporate that into each workout as you "fall in line" and have a battle buddy you pair up with (in this case, my Army veteran Father-In-Law)! Everyone was so supportive as we worked through each round. The leader was motivating and encouraging throughout the whole workout. Not only do they have this massive space for the workout, but they also have a gym to workout in, separate from the classes.
