Great group of girls.
Great instructors (both Sarah and Gary are patient and understanding. Very dedicated to making sure you are constantly improving.)
Great energy. Positive and excited to learn group of people.
Always something new to learn and always welcoming. The students who have been there a longer time are very close knit but also always inviting and welcome new students with excitment!
Very reasonably priced, especially compared to other training gyms. My favorite martial arts gym by far (and I've been to quite a few)!

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GYM.

This gym has one of the most welcoming and inviting attitudes I have ever come across. The friendly/easy-going atmosphere is contagious.  Coach Sarah(love her) and Coach Gary(love him) are super patient and kind. They have made my experience so enjoyable and have taught me so many great things. They make working out and learning fun.

From Kickboxing, MMA, to Grappling, and CombatFit this place has it all. G.I.R.L.S GYM  is a family, so if it's awesome friends and amazing coaching you're looking for, then this is the place for you.

You just have to come try it!!

I'm always learning something new and fun and I don't have to be on a treadmill/elliptical for a workout. There's all types of girls here, whether you've never worked out much or you just want to try something else. No judgement, no pressure, and it feels so good to punch something!

This is my forth year at GIRLS Gym! I only do CombatFit Bootcamp, no martial arts or kickboxing. I absolutely adore Gary and Sarah! They are the sweetest and are super knowledgeable regarding mixed martial arts, kickboxing, as well as general conditioning! I find that the Bootcamp is a perfect workout for me! Sarah tells me what to do for an hour and I'm sore afterwards! There are a range of girls who choose to be a part of GIRLS Gym. From young (teenagers) to old (there is no age limit), I have found that GIRLS Gym is all inclusive and willing to adapt to any modifications one may need to make. I've had nothing but positive and supportive experiences at this gym and honestly I HATE gyms! I always end up feeling self conscious and like the odd one out in other fitness centers. GIRLS Gym is more like a team than a gym. It's a pretty awesome feeling.

I've been here for four years. So I have a lot to say. But it can be summarized in three ways!

As a student: I came in with no athletic or martial arts experience whatsoever. I just wanted to try out kickboxing as a way to exercise while learning. I got way more than I bargained for in the best way. Through this gym, I discovered a love for martial arts and combat sports that I'll carry with me forever. Whether it's jiu jitsu, kickboxing or MMA, there is no question too dumb and you'll never be made to feel that you're not good enough. It's a safe learning environment that lets you go at your own speed and choose your own adventure.

As a competitor: I compete in jiu jitsu tournaments in the area a few times a year. Competition, for those who are interested, is stressed as a tool for learning and experience. I've experienced a fair amount of both successful and unsuccessful matches, and I've never been made to feel as though losing was anything other than just one more learning experience to draw from in the future. This keeps me motivated and compelled to improve as opposed to afraid to let down my team and coaches.

As a human: My teammates and coaches represent a network of people I can rely on to allow me to learn in a safe environment, make me laugh every day and improve physically and mentally. My life would look very different if I'd never taken a chance to try something new.

The one-star review down below is kind of appalling, actually. I've seen both of the head coaches work with brand new beginners nearly every week for the last four years and they're nothing but patient and encouraging. This gym absolutely welcomes beginners and the only thing the beginner needs to bring is a good attitude and willingness to learn.
