He adapts training to different scenarios, body types, and threat levels, which makes everything practical and effective. What really sets him apart is his ability to stay calm, think ahead, and prepare you for situations you wouldn't normally consider. You can tell he has deep experience and has actually been there, not just studied it. Training with him increased my confidence, awareness, and ability to react under pressure. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve real-world self-defense and situational readiness.

We were told up front exactly what the costs would be. No guessing. And the quality of the instruction is more personal, authentic and well rounded. Sensei LeAnn and Sensei Rebecca have done wonders with my timid little girl. Our son is blossoming in self confidence and self discipline. The integrity, professionalism, compassion, authenticity, and Christ-centered learning at AFR Christian Karate is why we chose this Dojo over all the others in the area. A low introductory rate, flashy marketing flyers and a fast lane to a black belt does not make those big box chain karate schools a better deal. Thank you AFR Christian Karate for doing it right, doing it honest and doing it better.

We signed up for both Kickboxing and Self defense, both excellent values. What a great way to have fun and get in shape with your kid! The people who practice there are all encouraging and kind. The instructors are talented in accelerating physical abilities and learning martial arts. They are also great with people, understanding that we are all different, and they are the best at helping people fit in and get the most out of the classes. I am especially appreciative of the manner they teach personal discipline, with love and respect. The Self-defense and martial arts training provided builds confidence, strength, flexibility, and balance. And will inspire one to do more with their life. And you don't have to be in shape to start, they will help you start from where you are. Join up, and make real progress fast. That's from my personal experience at Karate America. Absolutely excellent.

After taking the trial classes, we decided to stay at Smiley. The reasons? My kids were happy there and were excited to return because they, "Had fun"- their words. The coaches are hands on and encouraging. There's no pressure for them to compete, which isn't a goal of ours (the parents) or the kids. We want our kids to learn self defense because we feel it's a necessary life skill. The coaches at Smiley respect that and train our kids just the same (unlike other gyms that pushed private lessons and competitions). I like the affirmations Coach Smiley shares at the end of class. In addition to learning self defense, I want my kids to build confidence, resilience, determination, etc... the coaches at Smiley help speak life into the kids while teaching them self defense techniques. Lastly, I like the options they have for kids (8 and up): MMA, Boxing, and Muay Thai! They have BJJ for kids 4 and up I believe. It's nice to have a place they can learn different skills and have the time to do it with their packed schedules. You get your moneys worth! I'm looking forward to seeing my kids grow in skill and confidence at Smiley Academy.

I went to Crunch Fitness as part of the Yelp event. Customer service was great and accommodating…read more As it was my first time there, I asked for a tour of the facility and they let me know it's the second largest Crunch Fitness in Florida. From walking in, I could already see how massive the place was and how much different equipment they had to offer. I went during a busy period and there was still plenty of equipment to choose from. Comparing to other gyms that I go to, they have different equipment that I didn't see at competitor gyms. There is a basketball court and comparing to other gyms, their boxing area offers more. I tried their infrared sauna as that was another option that I didn't see at other gyms. With how big the place is, how many people, and ongoing classes, it can be quite loud. It gave me opportunity to test and see how good my headphones noise canceling option is. I would consider joining as there are locations nationwide and several international locations. There's three different membership options with an annual fee if you're budgeting and thinking about pricing. They are not 24 hours so that is an option to consider for someone like me as I like going during afternoons and evenings. The reasons I have to consider weighing my options is that I already have two different gym memberships to 24 hour location gyms. For me, the drive to the location is also a factor.

The gym is separated into different sections for cardio, resistance training, and weight-lifting. The basic membership is only $15/month. There is also a hydromassage and tanning for premium membership ($25/month). And the great thing about all Workout Anytime gyms is that they give 7 days trial membership! Another great thing is that you have access to all Workout Anytime locations with the basic membership! Parking isn't a problem because the parking lot is spacious. Once entered, you are greeted with a smile. The staff are very friendly and nice. The equipments and bathroom are clean. Like most gyms, some people do not wipe the equipments. However, the staff at this gym make sure the equipments are clean and disinfected. My only concern is how small this gym is. It gets very busy between 4 PM - 7 PM and waiting on the equipments can be frustrating and time-consuming. The Oakleaf community is expanding; there is a need for bigger gym to accommodate large # of people. Overall, this gym is great. It's worth a visit and will fulfill your needs. Highly recommend if you live in Oakleaf area.
