Bogdan Kumpan
"I've been training with Gene since 2020. This gym is a unique place. It's a weird combination of competitive practitioners and people who do it just for pure fun. Incredibly welcoming people who would laugh and train hard at the same time. Very non chillan gym"

"Great gym! Came in as a total beginner with practically no experience. All the gym members were very welcoming and eager to share their knowledge and skills. Geene is an amazing instructor who encourages you to grow and helps you to identify and improve your strongest skills. Plenty of practice + tons of fun with great people. Highly recommend!"
