What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Rebecca Young
"I’ve been training at Cross Training Academy for over five years, and it’s been an incredible journey. From day one, I felt welcomed and right at home. As a female, I’ve always felt safe, respected, and comfortable in this supportive environment. The professors and coaches are exceptional—knowledgeable, approachable, and truly invested in your growth. I’ve built lifelong friendships here that mean the world to me. Signing up was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I’m so grateful for this gym!"
SeanPatrick
"After moving to the area, I found this gym through coworkers. Everyone here was warm, welcoming, supportive, and knowledgeable. Everyone is willing to take the time to help with any techniques someone may be struggling with. If anyone may be competing in local competitions, so many from the gym will come to support and coach. One of the best decisions I’ve made to join this gym"
neal wilcox
"Everyone is friendly and nice. They do a pretty good job of keeping it clean. It’s pretty small and not intimidating for people who might be brand new, classes are pretty small so the instructors will remember your name. Great training, and a lot of fun!"
James Boyce
"CTA has two third degree black belt professors. Both Bryan and Michael Baldwin are very good men with decades of martial arts experience between them. They have trained and earned black belts in traditional martial arts (Karate and Taekwondo) along with BJJ. The environment is laid back, relaxed, welcoming, and fun!"
