Muay Thai with Brent is the best workout of my life. I have never enjoyed working out this much in the past but I actually look forward to going here! Easygoing atmosphere, everyone is very welcoming of beginners. Definitely give it a try with their free class, I was hooked after that!

I have been training with Powerhouse for around three years. The instructors are amazing. Especially Dave and Brent. They train me hard. They can also train a person to compete in Thai boxing or boxing competitions. I highly recommend this gym.

A great place to train the trainers truly care and take the time to work with everyone. I highly recommend checking this place out especially if you are looking at getting your kids involved in self-defense to make new friends and build confidence.
