Martial Arts

I tried the womans kickboxing fitness class. It was a great adventure and good workout. Be prepared to sweat. Friendly and encouraging staff.

I started with a free lesson, and have been addicted ever since! The coaches and team members are supportive and have been absolutely ideal for a beginner, and offer new challenges to those more experienced (which in turn offers even more lessons to learn for everyone). The benefits of attending classes will be noticed immediately.

Nice place, super friendly and jolly staff.

Guro Brian is a Highly Skilled, patient and caring instructor. Modern Arnis is an amazing martial art and rest assured that you have to be really high level to be able to teach it. I personally have over 15 years of experience in martial arts and have found very few people with the right temperament, patience and real knowledge to teach. Not only is Guro Brian all of these things but he is very passionate and loves his art. I have been learning from him for 5 months and highly recommend his instruction. Modern Arnis is not a sport, so if you want world class instruction in a very real and effective system you will find it at Bamboo spirit. I know I have the Modern Arnis bug and will continue to train it to compliment my existing martial arts skillset. It is also a lot of fun to learn.

This place is awesome. It is the best. Hi guys.

Great place to workout and amazing company of people. Justin is an amazing coach.

Let me start by saying I cannot tell you how highly I recommend CrossFit 725 by just a review. It doesn't give it justice to how amazing it really is. I started my experience at CrossFit 725 with Coach Spenser during our 1 on 1 personal training sessions at Durham Ultimate Fitness. I thought I was in good enough shape, but needed a little push for an OPP fitness test. Little did I know, I was far from fit. I asked for someone to really push me, make me hate them. I was given Spenser. After 18 sessions, he made me work harder than I ever have, but he respected me and never let me stop pushing myself harder. I was introduced to the full CrossFit experience shortly after our sessions . I was never pressured and thought I'd take the leap and join. Besides, a lot of our sessions consisted of CrossFit exercises. I've watched other coaches at the gym work with clients and I thought to myself, "They don't seem to be working as hard as me." Maybe this CrossFit thing is really bringing out the best in me? It has been the BEST decision I have made to enhance my life. Both Coach Spenser and Coach Scott are better than you could imagine. They are professional and friendly. Their knowledge of CrossFit and their educational backgrounds in the human body have always pushed me, but kept from hurting myself. The box (CrossFit gym) is brand new and has great equipment. It is always getting better with little improvements, even if you think it can't get any better. DO NOT let people scare you of the risks of CrossFit. If you work within your limits but push yourself, also with proper coaching, you will succeed. I did. I have seen more injuries at the gym when people try to do it on their own and don't have that added support of a coach that knows proper movement. Even in a packed class, I still get 1 on 1 attention to help push myself and work of proper form. Thank you to both Coach Spenser and Coach Scotty for helping me realize my potential. My family thanks you for a better me and I thank you. If you have read this review to the end, let me finish with this. If you decide to try CrossFit 725, the work you put in will bring out the best in you. It has for me and I wish I would have done this year's ago. Try it and see how it is. You have nothing to lose.

Things that are good are always being attack. Don't listen to the negative comments. My ratings 10/10. If you are serious about martial arts then Bruckmann is worth the money.

this place is a great environment for children as well as adults to learn martial arts and respect. WOOHOO

Amazing coaches that put all their effort into building you up! Great atmosphere!

Great place, coach, and environment. Keep up the good work.

This is the best place to work-out or play basketball or volleyball I love it here

This is a hidden treasure here in Durham! The Club has been in this same building since about 1970 and is apparently one of the oldest Karate clubs in Canada! Training is friendly but focused. It is not a sport. Techniques are meant to incapacitate any attackers. The instructors are fantastic and really care about your progress. They do sword training here, too.
