Unhappy former member

I was a member of this gym for almost 2 years. I took all of the different types of classes that were offered here- muay thai kickboxing, karate, and juijitsu. I even enrolled my two young children into their children's martial arts classes. For a long time I was very happy with this place, and can concur with the quality of the classes offered...however, the reason I definitely do not recommend this place to anyone, at least not to any women, is because of one of the owner's- Brian Johnson, who runs this business with his wife, Dani Johnson. Almost from the beginning of my membership here, I experienced what I felt was excessive and inappropriate attention from Brian Johnson. He made some advances towards me that made me uncomfortable and that were not reciprocated. He attempted to interfere with any interactions I had with other male members and/or instructors. He very loudly made false accusations towards me in an apparent effort to alienate me from other members.

My girlfriend attended the academy of Brian Johnson and after the free week we decided to enroll her. It wasn't long before the older Gray haired instructors started staring at her and it made her extremely uncomfortable. Like licking there lips and putting out there tongues sort of thing. I've heard negative things about instructors there abusing there power to get with the people who go there so we decided to have her quit. On top of that the floors were very dirty with body hair on the ground and it smelled like stale socks. If you are a man maybe its for you they seemed to have a lot of people sparring and stuff, but I'm not sure if the coaches are even qualified instructors in any shape or form. For a 7 time karate black belt master the owner didn't have any trophies, medals or belts of his own to speak of. Or any schooling or paperwork behind his credited instructors. Very suspect and a school that has a very sexual innuendo type thing going on. Very suspect.

I used to workout at Brian’s and loved it(I stopped because my life got too busy and didn’t have the time anymore).

This place is intense... I can't really get into it right now because of a back injury. But I brought my 16 yearold daughter here and she loves it.. I'm here on the bench just watching these guys go at it.. Badass.. Can't wait to join them and build my cardio back up..

Best gym in the area. It is legit for the people who want to fight Mma and kickboxing. Instructors are incredible. And great enviorment for people of all ages.
