To help us survive after losing Aaron (Forever15), his little sister(10) and I tried many different outlets. When we discovered the Gym and met Master Bolts, it was then I started to see light come back in her eyes. Shes becoming excited again. We joined martial arts class and she takes part in the summer and after school programs. Shes having fun with a really respectful community of great kids and staff, and I can focus some aggression in a healthy way, while at the same time watching her learn the tools to protect herself. I cant recommend this place enough. I only wish I could have discovered it years sooner.

My oldest son started the after school and summer camp program here over a year ago. He started off as a shy guy with little confidence in himself. Now he has flourished into a self assured young man with amazing respect and discipline for himself and others. From the martial arts training to the exciting activities they always have going on, The Gym is somewhere my kids never want to leave. The staff are all wonderful and make you feel like youre a part of the family! I would 100% recommend.

The Gym has been my home for Martial Arts for over 10 years. My entire family has trained there at some point and three of my kids and myself have all earned our black belts or higher. The attention to self-improvement in all areas of life are stressed and exercise is made fun and learning is made fun and practical. Kids and adults both learn from the techniques taught and students are reminded always about striving to live by the tenants of Taekwondo: Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control and Indomitable Spirit!Their instructor team cares about all students and they take the time to get to know everyone. You are not just a number or a $ sign.

My family has been training at The Gym for many years. I have been working towards my black belt for some time now, but the instructors at The Gym have been patient with me and are fantastic at meeting me where I am at in my training - especially having been in and out of training due to other commitments. I highly recommend The Gym and look forward to training and earning my black.

The community is absolutely amazing. There are so many wonderful instructors and leadership members helping. Theyre always encouraging you to do your best and they will accommodate for anything. I highly recommend if youre looking to train as a family and they offer so many different programs, theres one for everybody.

Very great surrounding. I brought both off my daughters and they both love it. Master Eric has been really helpful with my oldest daughter and master Boltz is great with my youngest. We hope to be here for some off the great summer events that they have to offer this year. Thanks everyone at the gym for your dedication to your students.

Our whole family started with taekwondo two years ago and we love it! We are able to train together and the teachers and staff are all so welcoming and encouraging. They also offer lots of extras like kids night out, school release camps and even distance learning camps.

The Gym is so much more than a martial arts academy. Master Boltz has turned his business into a community, with so much to offer. Our son started in the Little Dragons program 6 years ago, and now we have 3 family members currently training at The Gym!

The Gym offers great programs for my kids. Martial Arts, after school program, kids night outs, and birthday parties. My wife has also started training at The Gym. Highly recommend!

The Gym is a community of absolutely wonderful students & instructors! The encouragement of every student young and old is exceptional. Its been very rewarding to learn new skills and be challenged in this inclusive environment.

The Gym is a community of people who care about each and every person from parents to students and even siblings. Our son started in the Little Dragons and just loves Taekwondo. They offer a wide variety of activities to after school programs and even parent night outs. Highly recommended.

We have had so much fun with our martial arts training at The Gym! We have a wide range of ages and skill levels in our family and all of our instructors have been so helpful and kind. The schedule and program structure help us to stay engaged and make progress toward our goals.

The Gym is an awesome place. We started there when our child was in pre k for him to do something. Best decision ever. The gym is family friendly and they always make you feel welcome. You can tell that everyone that works there loves doing what they do.

The GYM is an AMAZING place, to train, have fun, and meet new friends. I’ve been training here for about 7 years now, and have made many great memories. The staff is awesome too!

We started with our son about 3 weeks ago and he absolutely loves it! Every night its time to go he is jumping up and down with excitement. If you have been thinking about Martial Arts this is a great place to be.

I have been attending Taekwondo martial arts classes with my teenager for 2 1/2 years now at The Gym/Boltzs Family Martial Arts Academy. I had attended several Martial Arts schools in the past and was very pleased with the differences I found here. The instructors create a safe and supportive environment for all while still giving top quality Martial Arts instruction that installs strength and discipline. The training area at a school makes a big difference, and there is lots of space here to spread out and work on technique. Very proud to be part of this School.

The Gym is a unique and one-of-a-kind place. Its not only about the Taekwondo but a community that is bonded over the love for the sport and improving themselves physically and mentally. They focus on helping others become their best self at whatever pace they are comfortable with. So happy I found The Gym 7 years ago and decided to restart my Taekwondo journey.

We are very happy we found Boltz Martial Arts! It’s remarkable that in just a few weeks, we’ve seen our kiddos attitude turn around. His emotional awareness has increased, and he’s learning to communicate effectively inspite of big emotions. Instead of melting down and throwing a fit when he doesn’t get his way, he tells us, “I’m very ______ right now, and need some minutes” his daycare team has remarked how great he is doing listening to the rules, and playing much more nicely with his peers. She’s even remarked his leadership skills are improving. It’s been a very great experience and we couldn’t be happier!

My friend goes here and absolutely loves it!! She trains as well as teaches and couldnt have better things to say about the place. She doesnt shut up about it!

The Gym hosted my daughters 7th Birthday party. I can’t recommend this place enough. Master Boltz makes it an unforgettable experience. I overheard a child who attended exclaim, “This party is Epic!” Definitely sums it up pretty well. Thanks a lot for a great birthday party!!

After three months of enrollment of myself and my four children, ages 6, 11, 12, and 15, my 12 year old son is coming out of his room and chatting more with us all! The games, activities and martial arts have really brought our family together! Id highly recommended The Gym to anybody!

It’s a great place to learn new skills! I highly recommend it. I’ve made so many great memories over the years!

We have been members at the gym for years and wouldnt go anywhere else. Great people! Amazing program!

Awesome place to train and learn. Amazing coordination and great friendships can be forged here.

Great place for the whole family to learn martial arts. There always fun new activities going on .

Ive been doing Taekwondo here for a while now. It is a very delightful experience. I give 5 stars.

The gym was a great place for me to get good exercise and have fun doing it. The self defense I learned would be useful if I ever need it which was important to me when looking for a good place to learn taekwondo. Boltz and the whole leadership team are great and I cant recommend learning from them highly enough. Overall its a great place to learn how to defend yourself, have fun, and meet amazing people.

The Gym Tae Kwon Do program has been an awesome experience for our entire family. Master Boltz and his staff offer the perfect blend of martial arts, fitness and discipline that has proven to be invaluable to the behavior and focus of our kids. My oldest started as a Little Dragon at age four, and is now a junior black belt at age 11. Now dad is even involved making it a true family experience. Pricing is very affordable, and the varied time slots allow busy families many convenient options to train throughout the week. This really is a Five-Star martial arts school!

I have learned since I was a kid it has a wide range of classes to learn from and cool and unique events as well as competitions to compete in.

They are so patient with my very wiggly 5 year old! She has learned a ton of new skills in just two classes !

Great place for kids that learn taekwondo. Also love their after school program!

My family has loved training at The Gym. They are very welcoming and make things fun for the kids and challenging for the adults.

My kids are gaining much experience through this program. My sons confidence has flourished since joining.

I absolutely love this place I have trained with them for over 5 years and can say it is amazing they have a great training experience and is great exercise

Master Boltz is the best! He is so good with kids and makes everything fun. Rhe kids learn a lot from him and i love his approach to disciplining students that dont cooperate or participate. Hes very compassionate.

Amazing staff and environment! A great range of classes that will fit all needs!

My son loves learning martial arts in the after school program and summer camp. He is being taught technique, respect and having a blast.

As a Tkd school owner myself Im always looking for great schools to train with and do tournaments, The Gym is an Amazing place to train in, not mention the great Instructors, staff how much Master Boltz works hard to make it a great experience to train and be a part of something great .

Great family centered gym! Awesome staff,awesome families, kids are respected and taught respect!

Family oriented and very friendly and professional instructors. I love it

The gym is an amazing place, it really feels like a family more than a gym. The instructors are wonderful.

Awesome place for your children to not only learn taekwondo, but Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control and Indomitable Spirit. All the instructors are great, but Master Boltz and Master Eric are AMAZING!

Taekwondo is a great activity and good exercise for the whole family to participate in. Master Boltz and his staff make each class fun and motivating for adults as well as kids. Taekwondo teaches many of the same values that we are instilling in our boys and we are glad that we started taking classes here. Thanks Master Boltz!

My daughter, husband and I were looking to try a martial arts together and we came across The Gym. We did a 2 week trial and have been here ever since, that was 5 years ago. We do Taekwondo and Hapkido. It has truly been a great family experience and the people at the Gym have become like a family to us. My daughter has built great friendships here and learned how to be a strong, confident young lady. I have, as a woman in my 40’s, learned that you’re never too old to try something new. I would recommend this place to everyone!

The best Martial arts place ever. I enjoy the classes.

The Gym is a wonderful place to train no matter your age or skill level. In addition to the Taekwondo classes, I highly recommend the Haidong Gumdo (Korean Sword) program.

Master Boltz has excellent martial arts classes for all ages.

Our whole family has been taking Taekwondo classes with Grand Master Boltz and his team. It has been a great, safe way to get out of the house during COVID to get exercise and have my three boys learn valuable skills. The five tenants of Taekwondo are: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit. As an educator and Mom, these are life-long skills.

AMAZING place to train, great after school program and lots of awesome activities for summer camp

Family focused and the instructors are personal and just all around AWEEEESOMMEEEEEE 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Wonderful tae kwon do education for all ages!

Good workout pretty noice💪🌚🦵

I like The Gym. Its a great place to learn. -AM

I have been going here for close to 8 years on and off due to living out of state. But I always pop back in. Everyone there from staff to students have been family and I’ve made some life long friends here

So many great amenities for a membership price that cant be beat! Love all the fitness classes and the staff are very friendly. Highly recommend to individuals and families!

Family friendly atmosphere, caring staff

This club is awesome! They do a great job of keeping the place clean, and the temperature is not an icebox like other gyms.

Great family activity.

Found this place three years ago after relocating back to the Twin Cities and I am so grateful I did. The fitness classes cant be beat. Great instructors, a lot of variety, and just an overall positive, authentic vibe which is hard to find. If you want to feel motivated, get a great workout, and feel like you have a community where you belong, try this place out.

Very clean, great energy in there, very positive attitudes from staff, And great music!

A friendly environment for the whole family.

Ive been coming here for 6 months now. I couldnt be happier with the instructors and staff. It has been a great experience. The techniques are pure and extremely well taught. Highly recommended!

Boltz is a terrific asset to the Mendota Heights community. They have a variety of fitness classes and are very family friendly. Their snow day camps are a life saver to a lot of parents scrambling when schools close. Definitely appreciate them...check them out!

Very professional people

Love the environment!!!

My child goes to the after school program twice a week and takes classes afterwards. They instruct the kids well, hold them accountable, and make them work for all they earn. They are rewarded for their accomplishments. My child was reluctant at first and now begging to go more days per week. Great for family.

I have been a fitness member at Boltzs Taekwondo for two months. I joined based on a friends recommendation, and I absolutely could NOT be HAPPIER with my experience there. Fitness instructor Jenni DiOttavianos cardio kickboxing class is high-energy and FUN, and appropriate for all levels from right off the couch to ripped. I have seen amazing improvements to my overall fitness, and have lost significant weight, because I look forward to working hard in Jennis classes. I am very excited for the new Power Pump weight training classes beginning April 6! I cannot recommend Family Martial Arts Academy highly enough for fitness. Everyone there has been SO welcoming and encouraging. It is a wonderful community to belong to.

I went there after buying a groupon for one month of kickboxing class, but it smelled so rank I could not even stay for class. I understand it is a gym and people sweat in it, but there needs to be some air flow in place so it doesnt get stale.

Best thing Ive ever joined

Awesome teaching and helping my kids to stay focused.

Great instructors and perfect for all ages

They worked well with my kids when they were young

Awesome
