"If you want a great group of folks who will make everyone feel like family this is the place for you! My absolute favorite place to train. World class instructors, fun at every class, and they support First Responders and Veterans which is a plus! “It’s the people not the place”. My wife and I love it and recommend it 10/10!"

"Gold Bar Training Center is hands down the best place to train, whether you’re just starting out or looking to take your skills to the next level. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and family-friendly, making it a great environment for both kids and adults. The youth classes are top-notch, with instructors who are not only skilled but genuinely care about the growth and success of each student. One thing that really sets Gold Bar apart is the sense of community. The upper belts are always eager to help, offering tips and guidance to improve your technique, no matter your level. The large mat area provides plenty of space to train comfortably, and the class times are flexible enough to fit any schedule, which is perfect for busy families or working professionals. What truly makes this training center special is the ownership. They’re friendly, transparent, and dedicated to helping you succeed in every way possible. It’s clear that Gold Bar was built with the community in mind, not just for profit. If you’re looking for a place that feels like more than just a training center—where people genuinely care about your progress—Gold Bar Training Center is where you need to be."
