We attended for a year (lots of big body energy to burn in my family) and marveled at the talent, patience, and wisdom of the instructors as they helped us learn physical skills, mental discipline, and personal strength. This dojo doesn't stop with achieving technical ability; it teaches life lessons, showing us not just how to win on the mat, but how to master ourselves. If this sounds saccharine, check it out. Sometimes family businesses like this one aren't good to be true. (That's right, Max's dad teaches there too, and legends whisper his tale of the school's origins...)

The staff is great with him. They get that he needs some extra encouragement to focus and they find ways to make it happen. When he failed one of his challenges, he was heartbroken, but Master Boltz talked to him afterwards to let him know it was okay and how he could improve. Mike engages him in each class, works so hard to keep him focused, and provides so much encouragement among the way. He's going to summer camp again this summer, and we're signing up his little brother to start Little Dragons in the fall. We're big fans and would recommend The Gym to anyone.

I chose Shuharikan because their approach to beginners is very open and fun. No "Bow to your sensei!" militaristic vibe here! Everyone is friendly and engaged in learning.

I'm a fan of Snap Fitness. Becoming a member is cheap (especially if you join with a group for a…read morefamily plan) and it opens you up to any of their locations. Very convenient. Now that I've stopped at a few of their other locations, I have to say that this location, the one I frequent the most being that it's just a couple blocks from home, isn't the best. I'll start with the pros - the staffer is awesome. I've only ever seen one woman staffing this location but she is always very friendly and helpful. They landed themselves a hard worker :) The other big pro is the location. On Snelling, just north of Summit, this spot is so quick and easy to get to. Especially when you live three blocks away. But that's also one of the con's too. It's a small sized Snap, with a big time crowd. I frequently have trouble parking in the lot it shares with multiple other businesses which is always a drag. The other issue is that this location gets packed after work and it only has 9 ellipticals/treadmills which are often completely full. This place gets the job done, I just know you can enjoy your experience more at another location.
