I've been coming for almost a year! Amazing gains, and even better teachers! Baba & Chris have…read moretruly changed the way I view gyms. If you are looking for a gym home that's great for family, community, and support come check us out!

I really wanted to love this place. I saw on their website that they offer a free two week trial…read moreand I have been interested in kickboxing and boxing classes. I signed up online and received an email response the next day. I conversed with Chad via email and a woman on the phone. They both were very nice. Additionally, Joey gave me the run down of membership during my consultation but failed to give me a tour of the place until I asked. Now on to why I give this place only 2 stars. The place is NOT sanitary, well kept or air conditioned. The treadmill has duct tape on the belt. There is one large fan cooling the room. The mats and equipment that we used during classes are not cleaned. I personally attended a boot camp and cardio boxing class. After each class of at least 10 people sweating profusely on the equipment and mats, they were simply returned to their starting location. Additionally, the initial bag that I used for cardio boxing had visible sweat/slob stains and what appeared to be white vomit stains. Boot camp was good. It started late (which seems to be a trend at this place), but it was a good and challenging workout. The instructor took time to demo each station and observed, corrected and encouraged participants throughout the workout. Cardio boxing sucked. I'm sorry but I have no other words to describe my experience. Class was supposed to start at 6:00a. We twirled a jump rope with one hand and jogged in place for over 20 minutes!! I tried to actually jump rope to get a more intense workout but Baba (the instructor) informed me to twirl the rope instead. We did not start boxing until 6:35a. Then, Baba did not demo each move (only a few) and was not motivating or encouraging. I did not know if I had correct form because he was not helpful. After the boxing portion we were to do abdominal work. It was now 7:00a, so if you actually needed to leave on time and maybe go to work, sorry you would have missed out. We did ab workouts for about 10 minutes. The restroom was semi clean, did not have any soap and the shower curtain is see-through. I wanted to attend cardio kickboxing to see how my experience would be, but honestly I don't think I'll return even though I still have a week left. FYI: * $99 down; $99/mo for cardio only classes * $129/mo for all classes (MMA, Muay Thai, etc) * Gym is only open during scheduled classes or Open Mat times * First time boxing gloves are free. Each additional time $3 rental fee

1) it's extremely expense and that doesn't include lunch, 2 snacks (which need to be packed from…read morehome) 2) Ordered a summer camp shirt:::never received it. 3) on day 3 of going my daughters best fiend was asked to wrestle (by a girl that knows karate. No idea how old she is cuz they're mixed in with the older kids) . She said no. But the culprit came up behind her and put her in a choke hold. And continued to assault her. 4) Keep in mind" the teacher wasn't anywhere to be seen (and was fired shortly after) 5) No one addressed the victim til minutessss after the fact 6) an incident report was written, but no one called the mom of EITHER student. Especially the one who was harmed! 7) The owner of the facility refused to show security tapes of the incident to the parent whose child was injured. Then: when my 8 year olds dad picked her up at 5pm, the workers, teacher/coaches were sitting on their phones, all the students were sitting silently at the tables while an 11 year old boy yelled and bossed them around. Dad confronted the owner about mass punishment (but got a vague Response). All in all, were able to get a refund for the remainder of the summer. My daughter really enjoyed the activity and karate but if something like a kid getting choke can go unseen...what else can be over looked! Beware Positive note: she had no other complains other than is and the hours are convenient. We didn't use the much but when we did.... place going be bigger! That's for sure.

My son had no interest in sports or anything else that required physical exertion. On the first…read moreday, he took a great liking to the staff at WRMA and Taekwondo. I will be honest, I was a bit shocked. At 8, he had no problem embracing the discipline. I'm proud of how he's setting goals and vigorously pursuing them. Not only is he learning physical techniques, but he's understanding the self-control and the leadership associated with the art. The youthful energetic staff of martial artist, under the leadership of 6th Degree Black Belt (Master) Rankin, are definitely forging positive change in the lives of the young and not so young ;-) members of the our community.

This center for martial arts/taekwondo is the real deal - from their customer service to the class…read moreitself, I'm thoroughly impressed! Initially upon moving to the area, I began at a different studio and was very unhappy with my experience. In search of a better facility, I located Taekwondo Center of McDonough and explained my concerns from the last class. James, one of the instructors, was very patient in answering all of my questions. After consideration, I decided to give this studio a shot and boy am I glad I did! Before beginning the private lesson that I had scheduled for only my children, I was able to watch some of the other students in action during a belt/physical test. This inspired me to take the class for myself as well! We've finished our quick-start program this week and my children and I have all felt great and motivated after each class. They play energizing music during the warm-up and the exercises are fun! Classes are separated by age groups but they're integrated between all belt levels and I really appreciate that higher level students in their black-belt club help instruct newer students in class, too. It's very much a team atmosphere. Their motto is "A black belt is just a white belt that never quit" and I really like the focus on respect and discipline. They alternate instructors through the week between Master Huynh and the instructor James. I've really enjoyed classes by both and I value that they have the traditional values of martial arts in their program. If you're looking to challenge yourself and learn the true art, this is the place to go!
