What to say about Coach Ben...we started off bringing the 8yo because he wanted to go back to…read morewrestling. So glad we came here. He gets every bit of coaching, leadership, respect and direction that anyone could ask for in a Coach. Eli has learned so much and keeps wanting more. We decided as 45 yo parents that we needed the exercise and thought it'd be a fun family activity. Wow is it more than we expected. We've found ourselves getting into better shape, losing unwanted weight, meeting great new friends and just having an all new more confident mindset. All thanks to Coach Ben, his wife Jeniece and our new Jiu Jitsu family. Thanks to the Annunziatos for choosing Azle. Much love

I came to this gym broken. I had lost all confidence in myself. I was fresh off a divorce had lost…read moremy job to covid was struggling with mental health and had no real direction. Slowly but surely with the staffs kindness instruction and support i began to feel welcomed accepted comfortable and started to apply myself. The gains ive personally made have been so much more than just physical. Doesnt matter your skill set or goal i promise you if you choose this gym you will be surrounded by educated staff members and coaches that will be invested in your development and success. This isnt just a gym and these people aren't here just for money. This is a passion that if we apply ourselves we can benefit from and oh yeah if you train hard enough you might even be able to fight lol.

I was in town and looking for a place to get a little training in, so I called yesterday and was…read moretold by Juan to come on in. Great guy, great students and great facility! Juan is an excellent instructor and very observant of the class. Learned some great technique and got to train the last half of class. The students there are also very cool and welcoming. If you are looking to get started in BJJ, looking for a new place or (as in my case) in town wanting to train, come check out Peak Performance Watauga out. As I said before Juan is a great instructor and a cool guy. I really hope I get to stop back in on this trip, if not, I will definitely come back when I am in town again. Thanks again Peak Performance Watauga and Juan for the welcoming and great experience!!

Having trained in martial arts for nearly six years before, when I moved to the DFW area, it was a…read morebit difficult finding a comprehensive school like the one that I had in Seattle. After asking around, different people tried to get me to join their school, but when I checked them out, they appeared very stereotypical, macho-oriented, which turned me off. When I found out about this RCJ Machado location, I got excited. I came in and Hugo, the office manager, was really friendly and helpful. I came back a couple of days later with my gi and tried out a class. I signed up right after the class. I previously trained with another Machado black belt, this place maintains the same high quality teaching and training as any other school run by a Machado black belt. Marcos is a great instructor who gives everyone equal amount of time. Unlike other places were instructors have favorite students, Marcos makes sure that he works with everyone, often going around doing drills individually with everyone in class to make sure that we all get it. But the instruction goes beyond Marcos and Hugo, as advanced students are helpful in working with new students as well. There are no egos here and everyone is willing to work with one another. This is simply a great place for anyone that is serious about training in jiu jitsu at a high level.

I've been taking my son here for lessons for a few months and he has learned so much! It's been…read moreawesome seeing his growth in time he's been here. He was reluctant to participate the first few practices but the trainers are patient and great with him so now he's always excited when it's time to train. I can't recommend this place enough.

Let me start with "we love Mr.Ayala" So we started looking for a place for my 12years to go. I…read morerecently been taking kick boxing and I took him to my gym once and he loved it but he was too young to join my gym. He showed great interest in punching those bags! So I looked around and found Paulie's gym. We walked in on a rainy Wednesday night, and he was there training some people. He greeted us and ended up talking to us for an hour. Mr.Ayala is very attentive, and it showed that he wants the best for your child. He's always in the gym when the kids are there; training them, helping them with their forms and just very involved. Now in the kids class it's literally kids of all ages: from 6 all the way to 17. And they work them hard, so don't think you can slack around here. If you have kids that needs discipline bring them here also. Can't say enough about Paulie!

This place is unlike your typical boxing gym. I have been boxing since undergrad and have boxed in…read moremany different gyms around the country and this stands out in terms of size (most gyms are very crowded and this is a huge space) and support (all one hour classes throughout the day you get to work with Paulie himself with the gloves in the ring) amd overall warm atmosphere (all the fighters there are kind and fast on giving advice and helping out beginners and intermediate amd advanced boxers). There is zero intimidation factor here. So if you are beginner, this.is great place to start, if you are advanced amd need a trainer, Paulie will get you to next level. It truly is one of the top boxing gyms in the country in my opinion!

A few of the machines are out of order due to maintenance concerns, but there other machines which work just fine. A few of the other regulars are still around. We all hold each other accountable for exercising. Great place to join as a member.

I have been attending this location off and on for a few years now. Every time I visit I am usually…read morevery impressed with the amount of activities they have to offer. I loved their water aerobics program but the pool temp is not for faint of heart or cold natures individual. It's quite chilly when you first step in. The gym section is up to expectation. There is usually always a treadmill or two down for maintenance but that's just being picky. It's part of having the machine in use nearly all day long. Staff is not over friendly but always respectful. Overall much nicer than other locations.

Workout variations and the atmosphere are 2 things that have helped my exercise routine become the…read moremost consistent it's been since Basic Combat Training in the Army. This is not a place where the instructor will yell at you, or get in your face, if you're going slower than others. It is a place to learn proper form, at your own pace, and meet some great people! Jennifer will actually encourage you to slow down to perfect your form. If you have been nervous about starting an exercise routine, this is an excellent place to start! It is priced very reasonably for what you get, great workouts with a trainer who is monitoring form and watching for signs that you're over-exerting yourself, and won't judge your weaknesses. In addition, the people who workout here are not judgmental, and are welcoming of new members. One of the scariest parts of going to a gym to workout is the fear of what others will think or say, but the atmosphere of SWEATS is one of positivity and celebrating each other's accomplishments (even the small ones)!
