E Funk
"Freaking love this place. Been doing it 2 months and it’s awesome. I’m in my mid 40’s and nowhere near the shape of most the people here but they have welcomed me with open arms. It’s great seeing paying members who are there to get better themselves, really caring to see other people get better. Fantastic gym culture."
Blake King
"So thankful for the incredible coaching here at Sharkbait's. If I was still in the area I would continue without hesitation. Great opportunity for beginner's AND experience grappler's and roller's. 10/10 would give 100 stars if I could!"
Marion Day
"Anthony and all the teachers at Sharkbait are great. My son loves the kickboxing and MMA classes!!!"
Glenn Rhees
"Best MMA gym out there, I come from a wrestling background and know what it takes to make high level athletes. Anthony exceeds all my expectations and is a great mentor and coach. I liked it so much I signed up my daughter (13) and son (10) and they absolutely love the structure of practice and the techniques they learn. Great place for all skill levels!!!"
