What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Rachel Aliu

"Great environment for kids to learn. Wonderful and professional professors. Everyone at the gym is friendly and they help teach each other. We went to another gym in the area and it just doesn’t compare to ZR."

Cool Space

"The seating area is non-existant. Came in from the car after class to find an instructor reprimanding my daughter in front of 15-20 students and parents. The instructor who obviously cannot handle two 10 year old girls acting like kids should not be teaching. How do you expect children to love and learn a sport this way? This isn't the military. My kid started class 3 weeks ago made a friend and was having fun. honestly I don't blame her for not wanting to go back. To the instructor, I suggest waiting for the parent and pull them to the side and act like a leader, instead of trying to Intimidate a little girl by herself. I'll consider removing this review if the owner and instructor want to have a conversation about it. Will finish the month but probably won't continue."

Jimmy Bowen

"Very welcoming gym with amazing professors. Perfect place if you just want to try something new or if you’re a serious competitor. With morning, lunch, and evening classes there’s always opportunities to train!"
