I absolutely recommend The Cellar Gym. My kids (3yr old and 6 yr old) also asked me to give 5 stars! The three of us joined the Cellar Gym on October 2023. We have tried not to miss any classes, and love each and every session.
Joining the Cellar Gym was one of the best decision we made as a family for our health and getting stronger together. We are surrounded by motivated, positive and humble people. Each and every teacher is very professional and experienced, and they are kind and care about our growth. Staff members are welcoming, fun and always making sure we are enjoying the classes.
We are thankful to the Cellar Gym. If you are looking for a gym, please give the Cellar a try. You will love it here.
Well-structured, organized and always clean. Great instructors are always willing to help. Whether you are a beginner or a pro, this place has the right program for you.
I checked out the Saturday morning kickboxing class…No experience required, they were great about stopping by to tailor my workout to my level since the rest of the class appears to be regulars. First class is complementary, though I can’t imagine anyone leaving and not wanting to sign up for more…For the recreational fitness junkie, this is a fun workout, high calorie burn, my arms are already sore (and we just got done 2 hours ago), fun change of pace from the normal routine, and an empowering experience.
For those who have not heard of Cichon, he is a stand-up fighting wizard who runs CELLAR FIGHT AND FITNESS. I was blown away watching Chris hold mitts/pads and discussing foot work, head movement and combinations. I have seen a lot of people hold mitts/pads in my time, but no one with the deep understanding and fluidity that I was seeing from Chris.
Our son has been going to The Cellar Gym for almost three years. He loves his instructors and everything he is learning about martial arts. We love all the positive life lessons that go along with it. Highly recommend checking out the Cellar Gym!
Honestly the most nicest gym out there. Couldn’t have gotten a better greeting, and it just felt like home. All of the trainers are approachable and kind, and the facility is matted by quality Zebra mats. I recommend this place to all levels of experience!
Beginner’s BJJ is a wonderful blend of technique, philosophy and exercise. You will learn the basics and get a great workout, while at the same time dig below the surface of a complex martial art.
Such a great place to train! Quality instruction by teachers who truly are the best around! I have been looking for such a facility for a couple years, and I’m so grateful I found The Cellar!! You guys ROCK!
