Been going for over 5 months and absolutely love it! I mostly take classes with either Shawn or Grant. The cool thing is that each trainer is different. I feel that I get a more intense cardio workout with Shawn. And with Grant, it’s more about learning combinations and kickboxing technique.
Shawn’s class exhausts me every time. Yet every time I go to it I feel accomplished afterwards. You move for the full 30 minutes. The only breaks are steady jogs around the gym. Other than that, you’re doing something. I’m breathing hard by the end of the class (particularly after Cardio Cool Down, which is so much fun) but it feels exhilarating.
Grant’s class are so much fun, particularly the circuits. He will also teach you more of the art of kickboxing. I’ve learned which combinations work and why, why footwork is important, and more. Tuesdays are generally «leg day» and Thursdays are «ab day». Fridays are their own beasts. One Friday, we learned about breaking out of holds. There was another Friday where I was the only student, so I got a session of personal training.
Class sizes are not that bad, at most I’ve been with probably 8 or 9 other people. It’s mostly women. I’ve only seen a couple of men, but have never taken the same class with them. Each class is 30 minutes long, but the workout is intense.
Overall, great place for a workout.

This is an awesome place for the kickboxing program. There are several different trainers that have their own twist to the classes. If you want some intense cardio, Shawn does that pretty well in his classes. He will have you running, walking lunges, kicking, and squatting in his classes. Grant, who is deeply inspired by mixed martial arts offers classes with certain routines targeting specific muscle groups throughout the week. He does leg days, ab days, and what I like about his classes is he will mix in exercises that improve agility. There are two other trainers but I don’t see them enough to give a review. All I can say is that, if you want to get a jumpstart to fitness this is the place to go. The studio is very personable, the trainers actually get to know you and there are people of all fitness levels. Don’t think you have to be hardcore, super fit, or «knowledgeable» about fitness. It’s an inviting studio, everyone is helpful and encouraging. Try it out!

I started coming here for the Groupon I purchased which allowed unlimited Thai Kickboxing classes during a 6 week period for $ 59. Every class was a little different and combined different moves of Thai kickboxing with strength training and core training. I have mostly been working with Grant Shields who is really excited about showing us moves and keeping us moving. You are guaranteed to break a sweat and be tired but you can get your name on the wall of you double up the classes or break a personal record! They also offer boot camp classes to break up the monotony of just kickboxing classes. Overall, this place is awesome and highly recommend it.

First impression — I was so excited when I purchased a
voucher for a 10 week class. After purchasing however, was a bust! You HAVE to attend a Saturday orientation class before anything, nit in the fine print! And it is only on a Saturday at a certain time! You are then weighed in and have photo’s taken of you, which I was not comfortable with at all. I was just looking for a fun way to get some exercise. Also, when you book your orientation you are charged a $ 1, and they keep your CC on file and charge a no show see of $ 25 if you do not cancel your orientation class. I cancelled and got a full refund!

Love this place, such a buttkicking workout and in 30 minutes… can beat it! And they have 5am classes!!! I bought a living social deal 8 months ago, and I’ve renewed my unlimited twice since then.

I love it, love it, love it. Amazing cardio, kick-​punching & core workouts. Hurts so good when you see and/​or feel the results! Shawn kicks butt, and if you become a member, get proficient with the Technique class with Vince (10th degree black belt). STOP the search, and come here! Your Group On discount will give you the best opportunity to check it out. I recommend the longer group on opportunity if you’re not sure, or become a member right off the bat just to hang out with the amazing Vince. Within 30 minutes (for me, much less), Shawn or Grant will take you to a complete breathless cardio (ugghh, I wanna quit) state. I have never had an athlete’s heart rate all my adult life, but I do now in just 2 months. Off migraine meds and feelin’ so much better! I’m told by many, «you’ve lost a lot of weight.» But actually, I’m more toned with less fat. I’m so much stronger, too! Not a meat market gym, so ladies u will feel safe even @ 5am or as late as 8pm! You’re sooo worth the investment!
Wish my kids under 16 could come & punch it out.

I’ve only been to their intro class and it was awesome! I’ve been looking for a high intensity butt kicking work out that uses real kickboxing techniques and this place has it!!!
I met JJ, the owner, who was super friendly and showed the dedication he has to his clients health. Then Shawn, an instructor, came in and we did a warm-​up that made me oh so sore but in a good way! I really liked his style of teaching and encouragement. I’m going to class again on Monday and I know I’ll make gains if I stick to this.
It motivates me to be in an environment with trainers that are knowledgable, kind, and understanding.
I felt completely comfortable there and can’t wait to see my results. I have a feeling when my groupon special is over I’ll be buying a membership. I’m going to recommend this academy to all my friends — especially women. You will learn how to protect yourself!
So far I’m extremely pleased and really glad I tried this place out! Plus you get emails with fitness tips and other health information.
After more classes I’ll update my review!

The workout they have you do seriously kicks you butt a non stop program but at the end of it all you feel great and energized ready to face the remainder of your day and the instructor Shawn he’s an amazing coach demonstrates the moves for you and makes sure you are doing them correctly I highly recommend it

Love this place, the classes and instructors are great, the sessions challenge you every time and you get a great workout out of every class you attend. This is a definitely a must try if you are looking to love your workouts. The instructors are very friendly and very helpful; they have a very friendly environment. The best part is that they have many classes available throughout the day to fit your schedule.

DON’T SELL WHAT YOU CAN’T DELIVER!!! I am super disappointed — requested refund for 21 day pass. I purchased 3 — 1 for myself and my 2 daughters. Too many restrictions — clear disclosure as to the particulars would have been very helpful — $ 25 reservation fee and the required intro class which has limited availability. The seller discloses that the voucher is ready for use day after purchase — not true — intro class for new students is required (which I think is great) — downside is intro class availability — I am excited and ready to get on it — I learned after speaking with a gentleman at the academy that it would be like 15 days — next intro class is 7÷12÷14. Finally the gentleman stated they are not taking any new students at this time — WTH ???, like another location is an option. If so that option was not extended. I was really looking forward to the 21 days not the drama — c’est la vie — refund 3 – 5 days.

I bought the 5 week groupon !! This company needs to be more flexible with customers they will make more money that way. My friend bought me a gift groupon to go again but the owner wouldn’t let me use it. So he lost that money and also lost my friends money because she cancelled and 2 other people were also coming with me so he lost their money as well…

I bought the 5 week groupon for kickboxing and so far I love it! The workout itself is straight to the point, 30 minutes of ass-​kicking intensity. I’ve done a lot of different workouts in the past, and this one gives me a run for my money.
What I also like is that the instructors really care about what they do. They are very informative and are readily available to answer any questions. They also send out awesome emails with great info. So glad I found this place!

I came here tonight to start the first class of my 5 week groupon. It was amazing! Such an incredible work out that utilizes every muscle. The instructor was super motivating. I’m excited to start all over again tomorrow.
