5 years with Training ZoneBefore joining Training Zone I was working out with a personal trainer. I had hit a plateau and couldn’t seem to reach my fitness goal. I became very frustrated and thought that that was it for me. Then I joined Training Zone and it was like no other workout I had ever tried. I am pushed and challenged every time. Every night is a new and exciting workout. I began to see my body transforming and changing. I was finally getting the results I wanted!
I am 46 years old, a mom of 2 and I look better than most 20 year olds!!!
The best part about Training Zone is that you’re not just another person who joined, they nurture and care about each and every person who walks through their door. I tell everyone who’s interested in getting healthy and fit that this is the #1 place to get the results you want. I AM WALKING PROOF!!!!

2 years with Training ZoneMy son prior to joining Training Zone was 5 years old. He has always been very curious, creative, super active and unfocused little guy. I was looking for something fun and close to home for him to participate in.
I then called up Training Zone for a trial class within 30 mins from the call he was already on the mat learning. I was very impressed with the cleanliness and most importantly the staff. Mr. Manny who is the guru of martial art is doing what he loves and that shines right through to how he teaches and works with the kids. I knew from that first class I had found the right place for my son.
I was hoping for him to gain confidence, discipline and a love for the art. He has gain that and more... he’s a part of a great group of children. He’s developing great social skills as well because of the diversity and different age groups. Every time he learns his form and he moves up in belt ranking he feels accomplished and proud of himself!
I am so glad I choose Training Zone. Mr. Manny is very stern when teaching as well as playful when the time is right. This is not just a place of business. I feel super comfortable and look forward to spending time there. Amongst the parents we have built a friendship which spills outside of the gym as well. All in all I don’t see how anyone who walks in for a free Trial would not sign their kids up for classes. You feel the love instantly!

2 years with Training ZoneI have always trained but never was able to find a school that I can call home. Before Training Zone I went from school to school not happy letting years lap in between my training.
One day I was driving by and saw Training Zone, I decided to walk in. As soon as I went in I knew this would be a place I can call home the place was spot less and when I met Mr. Manny he was super knowledgeable in martial arts, that was a big plus for me.
If you are looking for a Martial Arts school and you want to be treated like family and not like a number you have come to the right place, here at training zone we are all family.

1 year with Training Zone, 7 year old daughterAs parents we are very selective as to what we expose our children to. 5 minutes after talking to Mr.Manny and seeing his work ethic and dedication we knew this was the right institution for our daughter Hailee.
With the help of Training Zone, we have seen such an evolutionary progression in our daughters work ethic, focus, confidence and determination that we are eternally grateful.
She went from being the shy kid in the back to sitting at the front of the class and teaching new techniques. Thank you Mr. Manny for being the great teacher, mentor and inspiration that you are. And of course thank you to Sabrina who manages the daily operations and looks after our children as if they were her own.

4 years with Training ZoneMy early stages of fitness varied before TZ. There was a mass assortment of ways that I tried to approach the thought of exercise and it was all sporadic. Results were not instant when I joined TZ, however my level of enthusiasm had grown. An understanding of what worked for me and what didnt.
I learned my strengths and weaknesses and at first would shy away from what I couldn't do. With time it grew from 0 to 10 to 15 and ultimately 30 reps. I learned that endurance was better than it had been and that with a positive attitude and confidence building it got easier.
TZ beyond the exercise gives you the push that cannot be accomplished solo at a gym if u dont have that natural drive. My goals have been reached as far as weight loss since I first joined and new goals arise with time..changing up for heavier weights.. longer and stronger sets. Motivating my partner is important and even performance, when it comes to perfecting a move slowly rather that trying to pound out as many moves as I can.
When anyone asks what I've done.. I explain. I admit that it is not easy at all but they should join me and see for themselves.
