John Anderson
"This place is amazing! All professors and instructors are top notch. From the youngest and most novice levels through the adult and advanced levels they create an engaging learning environment. My whole family trains here, jiu jitsu, judo, and kickboxing."

"Our son got injured more than once due to excessive force being used- he required medical treatments. We came to cancel his membership but were encouraged to just do a hold (which by the way they expire and we were never informed of that) Our son never came back and these people kept billing us for OVER A YEAR!! Never once did they call/contact us to know how their student was doing. THEY KNEW HE WAS NOT GOING BUT THEY KEPT BILLING! This place only cares about your money not the students- after we found out we came and requested refunds but were told they would not refund any money. Though they knew they were billing for someone who had not been attending, they just said “this is how we run our business” complete lack of integrity. It’s is stealing."

"I preferred the non-aggressive/temperamental instructors at 10th Planet Riverside. Maybe times have changed as well as the instructors teaching at this gym, but this gym no longer holds the 5 star status it might've once held."
