Fantastic experience! by Jim A. at InsiderPages

Great Gym!

This gym has been one of the most positive things in my life. The instruction is top notch, the head coach (matt thorton) still teaches beginner classes himself, and the people there are really friendly and nice. I love this place, and highly reccomend anyone interested try it out!

Disorganized, horrible experience, don't recommend

This place is dirty and a useless waste of time- CLEAN YOUR MATS SICKOS! The instructors don't really teach, because they are lazy, ragging alcoholics. DO NOT GO HERE! Disorganized instructors and management.

Best sports experience of my life!

As someone with no previous martial arts or wrestling experience I was a bit hesitant to start classes. And as a female I was a little concerned that the environment may be a bit too macho for me. But training...

Nice staff, disorganized program

I briefly tried SBG, but was super disappointed with almost my entire experience there. They require a large fee up front to "join" the gym in addition to other monthly fees. The staff I met (including owner...

A Seedy Gym in a Seedy Part of Town

I have been a member of this gym for several years. It is very low value and the gym and equipment are in various states of disrepair. The owner, Matt Thorton, is extremely talented and provides excellent...
