What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Viviana Melendez
"We love this place! Coach Q is very kind but firm with the students and you can truly see that he cares about building them up. All the students who come here are very respectful to one another and make all the new comers feel welcomed and comfortable. Even the parents who bring their kids to this gym are so sweet and respectful to one another. There is no “my kid is better than your kid” stuck up vibe here at all. Instead the parents are all respectful and polite to one another and care about each other’s kids. Point being this is the best gym in town to bring your kid to or to come to as an adult. Also as a big plus everything is clean."
Idalis Feliciano
"2 of my teenage boys train here and they love it. The benefits can be seen both mentally and physically. It’s helped them make positive choices. It’s even opened them up to new experiences participating in different competitions. The coach cares, provides support, and positively encourages everyone. Makes us feel like the gym is a second family."
Araceli Aguinaga
"My son has being training for more than 9 years and now my 4 year old started training at the academy. The professor is very professional and loving and he care about his students. We get treated like family and the environment phenomenal."
Heather Camacho
