What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Jeanette Nink
"I do yoga on Thursdays with my daughter. What I absolutely love about it is that there really is no judgement! You do what you can, no one makes you feel like your not keeping up. It's challenging but not too hard. I feel older as well as younger clients can all feel stretched and motivated!"
Casey Fischer
"My son has been attending the kids Jiu-Jitsu class and he loves it! The coaches are fantastic and have a lot of patience. I love it because they not only teach the kids about the sport but how to hold themselves accountable outside the gym with integrity & perseverance."
Justin McCallum
"Best Gym in West Michigan if you want training from experienced athletes. Zane and Zack are the best you can go to if you want to improve in wrestling. I didn’t feel like my son was getting the help he needed through his youth program at school. I’m confident he is going to get the help he needs to prepare for tournaments."
Thomas Leedy
"Great environment for any level. They take care of newer people, and can really push the guys with more experience. Coaches are high level, and seem to love what they do. My kids go to the kids jiu-jitsu and then stay for me during adult class, and we always have a great time. Highly reccomend!"
