I was a guest (visiting from Texas) right after their opening and was very impressed with everything. The coaching was top notch and I felt like I was in great hands with these guys (Dave and Jason). If I lived anywhere near this gym, I'd be calling them family. Thanks guys for your hospitality and expertise. I'll see you again on my next visit with my family.
