Alex has created an awesome program for both adults and children. You are going to find that there are people from all backgrounds and training levels. Alex will meet you where you’re at and build on the fundamentals or teach you some fancy 10p stuff you see all over the gram!

Alex is an amazing coach, the gym is professional and clean. Class sizes are usually 10-15 people. There are training partners with various levels of experience. All the people I have met there have been great partners and made me feel welcomed. If I was not moving I would continue to train here.
