I would recommend this place to everyone! I feel so empowered by the instructors. I recently took a self defense class and even the "students" were encouraging. I went into this place feeling uncomfortable and left with the anticipation of coming back again! Thank you!
Shane dropped weight and transformed his body through our Krav Maga and facility programs unique to Wright's Gym! Krav Maga got him going and then he continued to do Krav Maga as he started weightlifting and taking BJJ at our facility. Quite a changeover. He dropped almost 200lbs (190Lbs to be exact), got thin and then put on some serious muscle!
Absolutely the best gym I have ever been in! David and his staff
