We recently were refered to Apex by another parent. We were trying to explore extra curricular activities for our 6 year old son. He loves it! We also got the chance to send him to the summer camp here for a week after having tried other options that didn't work for us. He loved that too so we now have a great option for next year's Summer camp.
Our family is so grateful for Apex! My kids have done summer camp, after-school and evening classes there. I have a son with big emotions and it's been the best place for him to gain self control while improving his own self worth. I love that they have fun while teaching the kids respect not only for others but for themselves. Everyone in the world could use some apex in their life❤️
Apex has been a game changer for our after care needs. Our kids enjoy getting help with homework and doing new activities along with martial arts every day. Parent’s night out is a winner every month!! The staff are supportive, understanding and caring.
My son has REALLY enjoyed their summer camp. He's thriving in it. The staff is wonderful and friendly and they are very attentive to my son's food allergies which has been a huge relief! Thank you Apex!
It’s my daughter’s first day and she was so happy! The atmosphere is amazing the teachers are cool and relaxed!
Love it to have also a area where I can sit and watch my daughter 🤓
From the moment my son and I walked into Apex Academy of Martial Arts, we felt so welcomed and at ease! The staff and martial arts coaches are very patient, professional, funny, excellent with the kids and parents, and truly want the kids to learn. They're always available to answer any questions and concerns. Their prices are very reasonable and competitive. I highly recommend them!
My son has been doing martial arts for several months now and is loving it. The instructors are wonderful and extremely patient. I would recommend APEX to everyone.
Apex is THE BEST!! As a mom of an active boy who struggles with self control they have given him a place to feel welcomed, learn respect and self discipline all while gaining some amazing role models! Thank you for everything you do!
Where do I begin! Coach Scott and his staff at Apex are absolutely AMAZING! My kids love the atmosphere here and look forward to going after school. The many activities that they participate in keep them engaged and excited to attend. Can't say enough about the facility too... it's a super clean environment and you can really tell everyone on the staff cares that the kids are safe, and well taken care of. Thank you Coach Scott and your amazing staff for everything you do for my kids... I truly appreciate knowing they are safe and learning something they enjoy!
My Daughter has been with Apex since she was 5 years old and now she is 14 in high school. Apex has played an important part of her life. She learned how to protect her self but most importantly she learnt the values of respect and self- control while building up her confidence . To the Apex family thank you for all you have done over the years.
I highly recommend Apex Academy of Martial Arts !
We decided to transfer our child from another martial arts school to Apex and it was a great decision! The first week our child (7 yrs old) feedback was the buses had AC and were clean, the classrooms are big and bathrooms were clean! Apex staff is amazing, everyone that I've meet or came in contact with has been pleasant in general and towards my child. The after-school program is affordable and well designed. The martial arts side, I can tell the difference in my child's form and overall display of concept has improved. Overall, great family to be a part of!
I can't thank enough APEX for the support that I receive on my role as a parent, all the values, good manners, attitude, ethics, beliefs and integrity that my child is learning from APEX means the world to me.
APEX has done a great job teaching my children how to defend themselves as well as boosting their confidence levels. This group of talented instructors understands and interacts with children of all ages. They even have an adult class. I appreciate APEX for all that they have done to include my children in their family.
My son has been with Apex for over 2 years now and it’s been great for him. Miss. Cheyanne is very attentive to every child and the kids really respond well to her. The other instructors such as Julian has been awesome as well. Mr. And Mrs. Van Kleeck run a tight ship here but that doesn’t stop them from being really hands on. I’ve seen them at every special function they host and they are very approachable. My wife and I love their parents night out events and my kids always rave about how fun they were! I really recommend their academy to everyone. Haven’t meant a kid that didn’t enjoy being here.
I cannot express enough how grateful our family is for the outstanding care provided by Apex. From the moment we enrolled our child, it has been a truly remarkable experience, earning this facility a well-deserved five-star rating.
The staff at Apex has shown an unparalleled commitment to creating a warm and nurturing environment for the children. Their dedication is evident in every aspect of the program, making it clear that the well-being of each child is their top priority. The atmosphere is not just professional but also incredibly welcoming, fostering a sense of community that sets this facility apart.
One of the highlights for us has been the regular Parent Night, a thoughtful initiative that demonstrates the facility's commitment to involving families in their child's development. These evenings have provided valuable insights into our child's activities, progress, and the overall atmosphere they experience daily. It's heartening to see the staff's dedication not only to the kids but also to building strong connections with parents.
The range of activities offered at Apex is impressive. Our child has particularly enjoyed the karate classes, which not only contribute to physical fitness but also instill discipline and focus. The diverse array of activities ensures that every child can find something they love, promoting holistic development in a fun and engaging manner.
The facility's family-friendly approach is truly commendable. The staff goes above and beyond to accommodate the needs and preferences of both parents and children. The clear communication channels and approachable staff make it easy for parents to stay informed and involved in their child's day-to-day experiences.
In conclusion, Apex has exceeded our expectations in every aspect. The combination of an attentive and caring staff, engaging activities, and a family-friendly environment makes it an exceptional after-school haven for kids and their families. We wholeheartedly give it a five-star rating and are grateful for the positive impact it continues to have on our child's life.
APEX is the BEST! Master Scott, Tracey and the entire staff are amazing with the kids! Our daughter loves it and we can not wait to see her development. These guys also go out of their way to provide such great community events for the kids and parents. We honestly feel blessed that we found Apex! Thank you Master Scott, Tracey and staff!
My son and I have had an amazing experience from day one. All of the coaches, and staff are very kind and helpful. They all take time to get to know your child, they truly are investing in the kids and it feels like family. Im so appreciative for APEX.
We have five children that very in ages from 5 to 13. Two of which are autistic of which one struggles with sensory & behavioral issues. Apex has been awesome with helping our younger children focus and develop the skills needed along with picking up where my oldest son left off from his prior dojo that he had not been to in a couple of years due to that dojo’s management changes. We were excited to find a dojo with strong standards and capable of teaching our children with their various needs and ages, and children are having fun while learning all these life skills.
I have truly loved my experience! My kids look forward to going! Which always gives parents such peace mind! And they make everything so seamless with their links, enrollment, tuition, buying merchandise, very advance and user friendly!
I have only been at apex for a couple of months and this have been a great experience in this martial arts academy ! This place is very family-like and help you learn to practice your self defense in situations you have to defend yourself. Not only that. This helps you get more confident so that is why I rate this place a 5/5!
We have been part of the AWESOME Apex family for about a year and love it!! The instructors are caring and kind when needed as well as great teachers to the students!!
We love Apex!
Our daughter has attended their Parents night out twice and always has a blast. Not only is everyone so welcoming, the facility is clean and they provide great fun and educational activities!
We aren't even out of the parking lot before our daughter asks when she gets to go back !
This is a place where kids are treated as kids while learning valuable lessons for their future. My kids love coming to the classes and look forward to a variety of fun and challenging lessons. The staff is very professional , welcoming and know how to work with kids.
Apex Academy of Martial Arts is filled the kind and professional individuals. Everytime your child walk into their doors they're greeted by name and made to feel important and valued. My daughter loves her Tae Kwon Do classes and we had the opportunity to sit in on the sparring class and she is excited about being able to join that class soon. The instructors are very knowledgeable and makes sure each child gets the attention needed to succeed and progress. Very affordable and money well spent. No regrets.
This is the best family orientated business!
They work with your child as it’s one of their own!
We have been part of this APEX family for 2 yrs now we love it! Our son has grown and achieved so much here
APEX has become a wonderful part of my son's life. He's been here for a year now and he's learned discipline, goal-setting, and many other great things that the program infuses into it's classes. His courage and self-confidence has also grown in this last year and I know APEX has been an active part of that. The staff is very friendly, but keep it professional and respectful of both the kid and the parents. Love APEX!
Our grandson has been going to Apex since he was in Kindergarten and now he is in 3rd grade. He has excelled at the Tai Kwon Do training and has made it to his red belt.. Apex is also his after school care , where he is picked up from Waterset School with other kids and brought back to training facility which is used not only for training but for study for the children that don't participate. During the summer camp is offered.
Master Scott and his staff truly enjoy working with the children and make sure they are having fun. They will also offer different events on a Friday night so if you prefer you can drop your kids off and have a date night or you can stay and watch.
I highly recommend Apex and can't think of another place we would rather have our grandson.
My son loves this academy. They truly care about the kids and teach them to better themselves. Looking forward to being members of this Academy for a long time.
We love Apex! They are CARD certified. For aftercare, they went out of their way to accommodate my son. My younger son is 5 and has a hard time following directions. He is just in the classes. The instructors are amazing and make sure they meet the needs of all students while being stern in order to incorporate the rules and safety.
My son loves this program!! He does the after school. It’s a very comfortable and family type environment. They really keep the kids running which is great! The staff is amazing!!
Best instructor I know! My 2 girls love being in all of his classes, they always have a blast an learn something new every day! Very clean environment too!
My daughter did a few years of dance and loved it. But she has grown so much since joining Apex. Her confidence, her character, her perseverance in tough situations. She absolutely loves this class. Highly recommend! Martial arts is definitely not just for boys!
Our daughter has just started her second year with this facility. This is an absolutely amazing dojo and so attentive to the individual needs of your child. The instructors are beyond excellent and very caring!!! I cannot recommend this facility anymore than giving it 5 stars but it's definitely worth the investment into your child.
Absolutely a great environment with actual Hands-On training and sparring in a very very safe atmosphere and professional instructors who really do care and are there to teach. Thanks guys for a wonderful time.
