Reviews
Awesome gym! Been attending the fitness/bag class here fore several years and love it! It's a good workout that's a little different each time so it stays engaging. Even in the non-contact fitness class, the instructors take time to teach proper technique. Great supportive, welcoming gym family environment no matter the skill level. Highly recommend!
Not only is the teaching exceptional and coming from world class instructors that have been proven in the ring all over the world, but the atmosphere is very friendly and inviting. On my first class it felt like home. I consider myself very lucky to have found this gym. The staff and other students are some of the best people I have ever met. Coaches Eric and Lindsay Haycraft are subject matter experts and work around your skill and fitness level. I used to hate the daily grind of exercise and this is the complete opposite, I enjoy every class and always look forward to the next one. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!
Eric and Lindsay are the greatest people ever. Throughout the pandemic they both did all they could to accommodate the gym members while following the CDC and state guidelines. I've been a member of the gym for years and can't wait to join the family again. If you're new to martial arts or have decades of experience this is a great place to train. Show up ready to learn and work hard and you will leave the gym a better person than when you started!
Wonderful owners who are passionate about what they do and are very uplifting and encouraging to everyone who attends. My son started training with Real Fighters as soon as he was old enough and it has absolutely shaped him mentally and much as physically. Big change in his attitude and his confidence...plus it's been a great way for him to get and stay in shape (not to mention he's got some serious moves)! We love Real Fighters.
I absolutely love this gym. It has become my second home! Lindsey and Eric make sure that you are not only guided and instructed properly but they make sure you know you are part of the family. They are very encouraging, welcoming, knowledgeable, and always get you to do your best no matter what level you are currently at. The gym is very inclusive and welcoming to all shapes and sizes to help you reach your goals and beyond.
