"Incredible gym with great weights and fantastic BJJ class."
"The classes are top-notch and this gym happens to be one of the few places that includes BJJ. The trainers are excellent, being able to adjust for people just starting out to competing athletes."
"I've been going for over a decade, and the atmosphere and people definitely make it the best gym in town. All types of people train here, from first-timers to elite athletes, and there's none of those judging looks."
