Fantastic experience: This place is one of a kind. Coach Kon leading the Little Spartans classes is truly a unique experience. His experience and dedication to the kids is unmatched. My youngest daughter loves the Little Spartans classes. The classes show her how to deal with volatile situations and how to be assertive at the right time while still being respectful. Would definitely reccomend! Update: my oldest girl is also attending the Little Spartan classes and she absolutely loves it. Well done Kon, great classes for all kids.

Fantastic experience: I couldn't ask for a better experience than what I've found at the Fight Lab. The culture here is amazing - it's the perfect blend of competition-like training and a supportive community. Coach Kon Pappy's legacy brings a level of knowledge and expertise to this gym that is unparalleled, keeping us on our toes while he is always ready to crack a joke. Constantly learning new techniques and strategies from him and my training partners. And the equipment? He has everything from punching bags to dummies and a whole weightlifting gym at the back to our disposal. I'm so grateful to be a part of this gym and would recommend it to anyone looking to take their fighting skills to the next level. Thank you, Fight Lab Gym!"

David Milisavic 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The kids have been doing the little Spartans class for two years, they love it so much that I'm doing classes too! They especially look forward to the sword (foam) and shield duals, always safe with soft equipment and head guards. I feel comfortable knowing the kids are taught to avoid trouble, but also know how to defend themselves as a worst case scenario. Knowledgeable staff, and friendly family atmosphere. Highly recommend the gym for all ages.
