proving Ground has been an amazing experience for myself and my children. This journey is not only physical but mental as well. Vargas Gym has opened up another world for our family to experience. The coaches are phenomenal. Great mentors it feels like a family when you go there you will not be disappointed give it a try, they're very down to earth .. every single one of the coaches come in with a smile on her face and a blank slate from the day they come in they teach they mentor they listen the kids coaches are extremely patient. The kids look up to them as family members as adults, they trust and adults, they could be trusted, just give it a try you won't be disappointed ...

Ruben and his excellent team of coaches have been invaluable in teaching me the skills needed to find humility, respect and confidence in areas I previously struggled. If you want to see these qualities manifested, simply meet his children who are there all the time - they are more respectful, polite and well-spoken than most of the adults that I meet in life. Truly a testament to his character. Great gym. Great people. 10/10
