From the owner: Bobby Lawrence Karate - Orem is not just a "karate school". It is a Leadership Academy. We teach…read moreour children leadership skills through the discipline of martial arts. We teach our students to rely on the Pillars of Success; Leadership, Attitude, Excellence, Discipline, and Respect, to assist them with making good choices and helping them grow up to be the happiest, healthiest, safest version of themselves possible. Coupled with our comprehensive curriculum that offers Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Carlos Machado), kickboxing, sport karate, traditional weapon study and more, we offer a very broad and deep system of self-defense that appeals to both beginners and experienced martial artists alike. Also, the Orem school is currently the only Bobby Lawrence studio that offers the Trailblazer Leadership University; a program for those who are serious about their martial arts training and wish to become instructors who will go on to help others.

From white belt all the way to black belt (and beyond!) we have experienced teachers that know how to bring out the best in their students!

We take our martial arts training seriously! From unarmed self-defense to traditional Japanese swordsmanship, there's something for all!

This USED to be a great place to go. It welcomed everybody, and everybody was treated like they…read morewere worth something. It was safe to come here and most people were friends even though from vastly different backgrounds. The lessons were a lot of fun, very cool, and practical, too. Not now, though. Now, if you're not already in possession of a perfect body, are an excellent athlete, and suffer from NO weaknesses, you are treated like a freak. Got weak joints, asthma, arthritis? - congratulations! You, or more specifically, your money, are officially welcome here. However, the teachers will intentionally give you exercises designed to aggravate your conditions and otherwise subject you to such a miserable, humiliating experience you come away from every lesson feeling awful both physically and mentally. In other words, officially you are welcome, but in reality the position is go away, loser. The head 'shifu' by the way, is a piece of work. He talks a lot about being professional and making the studio look professional and welcoming everybody, then he makes fun of the students to other students. Half the time he doesn't even bother to see if his targets are out of hearing. If he loses students, he tells everyone who's left that he's glad those ones are gone (as in, "I'm glad they're gone. They were ugly." "I'm glad they're gone. They smelled." "I'm glad they're gone. They were dumb." and other displays of maturity). The studio takes a cavalier view towards appointments, either forgetting about them altogether, or assigning one teacher to teach several lessons at the exact same time, particularly if whoever had the appointment first isn't anyone they think they need to care about. If the teachers decide to cancel class, no one is assigned to tell you. You just find out after you've turned up at a locked building, never mind that some people travel from as far away as Salt Lake to go here. And the Facebook page - apparently nobody in charge there has realized yet that there's such a thing as a privacy setting, so the average researcher won't see that in addition to flattering themselves, this professional accepting-of-everybody anti-bullying studio has a serious liking for videos making fun of overweight, physically deformed, and/or mentally challenged people. Classy! Don't get too excited if you won one of their drawings for free lessons and a uniform. It's the same deal if you just go straight to the studio and sign up as a first timer. The only way you don't 'win' is if you're already a student. It's a business tactic, shady but not illegal, and not a contest. Meanwhile, you've just handed a lot of strangers your personal information. Then there are the trust exercises in which adult teachers physically assault and deliberately injure student teachers who aren't much older than fifteen, if that. (The 'trust' part is that you are not allowed to move away EVEN when you know the teacher is going to hurt you, and then you are expected to smile through the black eye, crushed groin, bleeding cuts, etc while the teacher grins proudly. Not calling the police or telling your parents is an unspoken requirement and is referred to as 'having a good attitude'. On the other hand, the current guy in charge has friends on the police force, so it's not as if you'll get them to listen to you, anyways.) Then there's something highly fishy about the pricing schemes. Ask any student there what they're paying for the same program and chances are many of them are paying vastly different prices for the same services. For example, there was a time when bi-weekly lessons for a month cost $150. A few months after the latest shifu took over, he started claiming that that had been a special sale price and the real price was really two or three times that and students needed to pony up the last few month's difference they 'owed' immediately. When I checked with other students about this, they'd all been given different reasons for different rates for the SAME things. I'm amazed the shifu hasn't yet been investigated for fraud. The shifu is very good at seeming nice, sincere, and kind - to parents when they're around - and only if they're not someone he'd make fun of, and to anyone he's trying to reel in. He's also a Navy Seal - impressive! But instead of being awesome, he seems to have taken it as permission to be thuggish and unprofessional, and to encourage like-minded staff. The studio is NOT a safe place for children, or for anyone who wants a healthy self-esteem, or for anyone who never wants to be in a position in which if they try to make a complaint it'll be your word against USSD's. Do I sound bitter to you? You bet I do. Give me an example of someone who has to endure even one aspect of this nightmare, let alone all of it - and overpaid these jokers to boot - and comes out of it happy. Run, don't walk, away from United Studios of Self Defense of Provo.

This review is specific to the Orem Rec/SCERA Summer Swim Team…read more I was disappointed with the program. I did it when I was a kid and had a great experience. The program has certainly gone down hill since then. -The coaches provided no guidance or instruction. - The coaches had no real training program for the kids, they would just cycle through a couple of strokes without any other practice. - Despite repeated email and in person requests our kid never got the swim cap nor t-shirt that was supposed to come with the program.

We were a little bit, disappointed by our experience at Orem family fitness center today. We've…read morebeen members for over a year and we love this place. With the exception of it getting a little bit too busy lately we think this place does a really good job at providing a nice place to work out for families. Today, me and my kids wanted to play basketball in the gym. Many of the hoops were much lower than 10 feet. Not a big deal. we went and talked to a couple of the girls behind the desk to ask them to raise the hoops so that we could play basketball at regulation height. One of the girls stood up to talk to me and said, "no, I think all of the hoops are at the right height. " I responded and said, "no, many of them are around seven or 8 feet. They should be at 10 feet. "She looked at me like I was speaking a different language and said no I believe we can't adjust the height of the hoops. I realize that maybe I was speaking to someone who had only worked there for a little while and maybe didn't know the rules or the procedures around raising and lowering the hoops. So I said, "I believe we can raise the hoops and you can use that tool (pointing at the tool by her) to raise them. If you get a chance, please help us raise one of these hoops to 10 feet. " I thought that I was really nice and respectful. What happened is nobody ever came out to help us raise the hoops to 10 feet they just sort of ignored our request. Not the end of the world, we still love this place. But I hope in the future, the staff is trained and able to assist in these types of things.

Dry Canyon Trail Head

Our first time visit to this trail had us drooling for more…read more Visiting in late March, there were grassy and rocky cliffs/rock formations on each side of the canyon with a perfectly snow-capped peak right in the center. Just before sunset, the whole canyon was warmly lit - glistening in grandeur - begging to be photographed. We were short on time - needing to return to the Bonneville Shoreline Trailhead (about 1.75 miles away) before dark but this scene beaconed us in such a way that we had to press on up its steep steps - curious to see how the view might shift with each step! Leaving the trail with only a taste of what these Dry Canyon trails could offer, we placed this high on our list of considerations for a post-work hike!

An easy trail with a nice ascent, jagged cliffs, gentle slopes, and rewarding view of Utah Valley…read more Parking is free and easy. A liter of water per person should be fine for the easy loop. There is a little spot where someone had built a fire (not sure if allowed) where you can rest and enjoy the lake views. For something intermediate there is a trail that ascends further into a meadow that is a great place to rest for lunch. I recommend good sun block and a hat on very sunny days since there is very little coverage most of the trail. This is perfect for a family hike on the weekend, or a relaxing hike even during the weekdays.

Hikes ranging from 0.5-5.5 miles
