Ashley Wyn
"I cannot say enough good things about this gym! Coach Ryan is so great with kids, he really guides each kid for what they need to achieve success. Its okay if your kids are shy or have never been in a group setting before, they will open up and shine like mine!!! A perfect place for kids and adults to train ❤️ Ryan is a wonderful coach and business owner!! Thankful to have a place where kids and adults are comfortable training to be their strongest selves! 💪"

"I was score keeping at a tournament this weekend where several of their kids were competing. They were amazing coaches. They kept a positive attitude and gave their kids clear instructions. It's rare to see coaches be calm, competitive, and caring at the same time. Great job guys. From what I watched this weekend, I would highly recommend them"
Thienly Truong
"This place is great, maybe even a little beyond my capabilities. My previous gym was stuck doing nothing but fundamentals for a few years because too many new people kept coming in and any sense of curriculum just kept getting reset. Coming from that to here, I'm struggling to keep up a lot of the times I train, but that's a good thing. It gives me something to strive for. Here, it's more organized, more concentrated, and far less headache-ridden. It definitely helps that everyone is on the same page and the owner/head instructor actually cares about keeping people in."
Stephanie Prock
"My son has been training with Loris for over two years. It's been a wonderful experience. He loves it, the people there are awesome, and he's learned a lot. This is exactly what he needed."
