Family friendly gym with the kindest staff. Each coach is super knowledgeable and genuinely cares about their members -- I frequent the 6am HIIT and 5pm Strength and Conditioning. Love it and proud to come every day!
Posted 1 year agoThe Sparring is really fun. There's some tough fighters at this gym to learn from. You will definitely challenge yourself doing the kickboxing classes and get in good shape fast. Everyone is super awesome and easy going. The Coach is patient as I tend to mess up combos here and there.
Posted 2 years agoI enrolled my two boys into their Jujitsu and kickboxing program. I was hesitant at first because the classes were total chaos and not nearly enough instructors for that many children. Given the difficult year of home schooling due to Covid, I was desperate to get them into something that would give them some structured activity. The expectations of them were not made clear to either them or to me. Use caution when enrolling If; 1) You have a child who struggles with self-esteem; 2) Child that gets their feeling hurt easily; 3) Have a child who may have difficulty paying attention in the Chaos (please not that on at least one occasion my child was unable to see the instructions because he was shorter than the other students in the huddle. He chose to watch other students to learn what he needed to do and was severely reprimanded for it. I believe he was using his problem-solving skill and am proud of him but the instructors disagreed; 4) If you child might get side track when their partner is off task; 5) If your child is a little out of shape and may need to work up endurance; 6) You cannot stay and watch the classes; The last day of attendance my child came to the car in tears, the other was upset as well. I told Lion Heart I felt they could have handled it better but they pushed it back on my son saying if he was crying it, was his fault. My kids are not perfect but I have never had any issue with them at school or any kind of extracurricular activities. Admittedly, I could have handled this conversation better but the short version is they did everything right and my kids and I were the problem. The website says it’s a place for everyone, I did not find this to be the case. I never write reviews but felt obligated to give parents some understanding of what they may be getting into. If this place is for you and your family great, but unfortunately it wasn’t for us.
Posted 4 years agoCoach Richie really gets the most out of everyone who gives it their best, especially the kids. They are always surprised by how much more they’re capable of than they thought when they walked in. Just give him 4 weeks of full commitment and the results will be undeniable!
Posted 3 years agoRichie is a fantastic coach! He is always pushing us to be safe and do things the right way. This is the place to go to learn martial arts or just to become more fit in general. The facility is awesome and the training is even better!
