Tugba Rafatpanah
"This was the most confidence-boosting, fun, and memorable playgroup/parkour experience for my 7-year-old! It was my birthday gift and He absolutely loved it. Highly recommend!"
Michael Byle
"We just had a birthday party at Higs gym and it was perfect. The kids had a great time, The coach Jason, helped navigate the whole thing. He tracked when to have the kids come in for cake and helped set up for opening presents. He was in constant communication on how to run the party smoothly. Jason was awesome he took over helping the kids and I was able to focus on other tasks. 100% recommend!"
Mallory Smothers
"From the moment I walked through the doors of Higs Gym, everything changed for the better in my life. I became more agile, strong, and, most importantly, social. I was a keep-to-myself person at first, until I had the coaches, parents, and other kids encouraging me to push myself to do my best. Throughout my years here, I’ve not just grown as a person—I’ve made amazing memories. So I really encourage other kids, and even adults, to come to Higs Gym and become a better version of themselves!"
Ryan Fields
"We had the privilege of attending Higs for years, first starting when my son was about 10. Over the last five years, we watched him learn and grow and develop into a young man, part of that due to the challenge and development of jiu-jitsu and Coach Byron‘s program. We highly recommend you check them out."
