I signed Thing One up for a membership for his 15th birthday last month. I did this because like…read moremost schools during this time, students are not permitted to change out into athletic apparel during their physical education class because of the pandemic. This lack of changing clothing is also directly correlated to the lack of physical fitness in these classes. On the first visit on his birthday weekend, one of the instructors took her time to approach me and ask if the music was to loud for my son. I was both shocked and grateful. She asked as she reviewed my son's paperwork when I signed him up which indicated that my son has Asperger syndrome. A significant number of people with Asperger's Syndrome have been perceived to display either an over-sensitivity or an under-sensitivity to sensory stimuli. In my son's case, although he is a musician who plays multiple instruments, loud sounds are troublesome for him. Aside from this, the instructor also checked in on him to make sure that he was using proper technique. Aside from the service provided here, the gym is clean and is operated like a Cheers "where everybody knows your name". I am pleased thus far with the instructors, price point and the convenient class hours.

And you can't beat the prices they offer Update 07/14: just wanted to add that they're doing a bunch of safe protocols in regard to COVID-19! And that workouts are still awesome! Great stretching + some yoga infused exercises to help ease the soreness from the other intense workouts they put us through!!

No set class times, show up and start your workout. I have a very busy and changing schedule with…read moreseasonal kids activities. Now I can leave work on my schedule and workout at times that fit my schedule. Small group atmosphere is great, other program style workouts you get into larger classes and the instructors are just a voice on the mic. 9Round the moves are easy, quick to teach and the team is there for personal corrections and motivation. But my main favorite about 9Round is the intensity of the workout. I am able to warmup much quicker than expected and based on the heart rate zones will spend almost the entire time in the green zone or higher. In a 33 minute workout, I will usually spend 15 minutes or more above 84% heart rate. On those days when you just don't feel like working out (luckily I have a workout buddy) punching the bags is a great release for the frustration. It is pretty much a guarantee that I will leave dripping sweat and in a better mood than when I walked in.

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical in the beginning but this has turned out to be absolutely…read moreperfect for both me and my wife. Vanessa and Rebecca are amazing and truly passionate about their business and customers care and personalization. We get a very personal and personalized workout each time. The best part about 9 Round in general is no set class times and and an excellent workout in just 30 minutes - for all fitness levels and ages, combining that with an awesome location (for us) and the greatly helpful and accommodating duo of Vanessa and Rebecca - this has been our best bet. Both of us are feeling healthier and lighter. Kickboxing also helps relieve stresses in a good way while getting a great workout. Love the vibes and motivation of this place.

I personally do not train at Rabadi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but my husband does and has been for over…read more10 years. Since the time he started at RRBJJ, the brotherhood has grown exponentially between the coaches and the team. There is a camaraderie within this team that is hard to describe. You don't have to have been on Team Rabadi for years to feel like you are actually part of that team. I've seen coaches and seasoned BJJ competitors welcome new students to the school without hesitation and offer additional time to those 'newbies' who are interested and wanting to learn. There is no intimidation upon entering through the school doors, just a sense that you're about to get one hell of a workout and meet some new friends. How can you not make friends when the positions you put yourself in (or are put in by others) can be fairly awkward!? I do love this school and the team it has built. No, I don't train there, but I do feel like a part of the family.

Someone dropped the ball. I am new in town and bought a groupon for Jiu Jitsu at Pinnacle. Sadly…read morewhen I arrived a week ago to schedule classes I was told that they do not offer Jiu Jitsu anymore because they do not have an instructor. They mentioned that they need to have the advertising taken off groupon website. It is a week later and their groupon is still active on Group.com. So I opted for kickboxing and scheduled a class for 7:15 and was told to be there 10-15 minutes before class starts. I arrived at 7:01 and waited till 7:16. The door was locked and 2 people sparring in the back. They saw we when I knocked loudly but they ignored me. I suspected that they had a private session going one. I then left. Never got call but I suspect I will get one after posting here.

Read your…read morecontract you sign with them very carefully and understand you must come in to fill out a cancellation form. They will continue to charge your credit card until you do so. On top of that it has to be 30 day notice so if you get charged and come in 2 weeks later you will get charged one more month. It's 2016 it should not be this hard to cancel. I've also been told they do not refund even if the mistake is on their end. I will update this post when more information comes available

Awesome martial arts center for kids! The owners are a very nice couple (both accomplished martial…read moreartists). The vibe is definitely welcoming and family-oriented (the owners' baby is often hanging out by the mats). This particular center stood out to me because they offer classes for toddlers (their Tiny Tots classes, ages 2-3). My daughter attended for a couple months until they unfortunately dropped an early time slot that worked for us (due to low attendance). It was a 20 minute class but it was filled with a variety of exercises -- climbing, crawling, jumping, kicking, catching, and much more. The classes were bookended by an intro to discipline (bowing and addressing their Sensei). I definitely saw an improvement in my daughter after multiple sessions -- her physical skills improved as did her attitude. She seemed to really enjoy it as well. We intend to return when she's a bit older. Highly recommended for kids of all ages.

I'm a 1-0 pro MMA fighter with a 5-0 amateur record and striking is my strength, so I've had some very good coaches, but this is another level entirely.

A lot of students are there for self defense, a hobby, or a workout and they have a blast too! It's such a cool style to learn, and I believe there's no one better to learn distance fighting from.
