I had no idea what this consisted of but wanted my son who was 9 at the time, to try something new and physical. We had no idea how much he would love it. Coach Eli and Coach Nikki have created a gym that welcomes and encourages everyone with open arms. They are dedicated and have become family. My son has learned to be more respectful, has more confidence in himself, is getting stronger, has made new friends, and has found passion in a sport that can also help him to protect himself. The other really cool thing about this gym is that all of the Professors and Coaches offer different teaching styles and techniques. It's fun, challenging, and they teach something new everyday with a different focus each week. If you are looking for family community or want to try something new without judgement, this is the place. Thank you Gracie Barra Hayden for all that you do for us!

Not just Coach Eli and Niki, and Professor Meech, but everybody there. All the regulars and upper belts are so willing to share their knowledge and go easy on us new guys(to an extent ) so we can all learn and advance at what I consider a fairly quick pace. It only took a few classes before we felt like we were part of a family. Best decision I have made for me and my boys in a long time. Thank you for having us GB Hayden! Big Zane

Professor Devin was great and my first time I showed up for what I didn't realize was an intermediate/advanced class. Everyone in the class was great. I rolled with three different people, all of whom could have smashed me if they wanted to, but they worked with my lack of training. They didn't go "easy" on me but tempered their responses. STA has a fantastic kids program. I've watched the kids rolling before my class starts and they are enthusiastic and obviously having fun. I highly recommend STA.

Fred Kelley took over ownership during my absence and all of the changes he has made has made this facility so beyond amazing! After 3 months of consistently showing up (3-4 days a week) my strength has exceeded what it was when I left and that's due to the new programming. Besides that, the atmosphere has exceeded my expectations. My fitness level had drastically declined and I was nervous to return, but I was welcomed back with gusto and I have never felt more included and cared for. Fred's goal is to help each and every person achieve personal success and he nails it. I am so happy I decided to come back.

There is a lot of give and take with 360 Fitness but ultimately I think the good, if only slightly,…read moreoutweighs the bad. To give you some perspective I was member for about 5 months and while not very flashy it does get the job done if you're looking for a no-frills sort of place to work out. I'd say the two most attractive aspects of it are the location (right in the heart of downtown and they have parking) and the price (very reasonable for month to month members). Both of these factored in heavily to me deciding to join. Once you're actually in the gym they'll pretty much have everything you're looking for plus a few bonuses. They have your standard assortment of free weights, machines and cardio. In addition, they have a basketball court, spinning room and pool. So it's not that they are lacking anything, it's more like things aren't as great as they seem at first. Once you start looking below the surface is when you start coming up with issues. I'll start with the basketball court/setup. The court and goals are fine. But there is legitimately only one decent basketball worth playing with. If someone has that then you're kind of out of luck and will have to grab some of the tatter crappy ones. The cardio room is loaded with machines but the electronics on so many of them are broken that it's pretty depressing. There are a few TVs but you have to get the employee to change the channel for you which a pain. They also don't let you keep the remote so there is no channel surfing. You better know what you want to watch. There also isn't any audio for the TVs. There are subtitles but if that isn't your thing then I'd suggest downloading the Tunity ap so you can stream the audio in. The bathroom and locker room just aren't 360's strong point. It's rather dated and people are constantly leaving stuff and not cleaning up after themselves. One of my biggest gripes was that, while part of the gym is open 24 hours a day, the other parts were consistently not open when they should have been. To elaborate, you always have access to the main floor weights and cardio. But the second floor and pool are locked and only open when there is an employee present. I seriously lost count of how many times these should have been open but no employee showed up. Again, pluses and minuses. And if was I was still in CDA I would probably still be a member so it gets 3 stars. You'll be able to get in a decent workout. Just know what you're getting into.
