My husband and I, both 39, just joined this gym and started muay thai classes three nights a week. This is a new experience for us, but all staff/coaches are very patient, encouraging, and friendly. The curriculum helps to build you from the basics up in each class. Additionally, the environment is fantastic, whether you are a beginner or more advanced. Everyone in class, teachers and students are helpful. It truly feels like a community where everyone supports each other's growth. Cannot say enough positives about RAM, we love it. Absolutely worth the price and time commitment.

As a twenty four year old I was nervous jumping into martial arts so late. I decided to take a chance and enrolled at RAM. I'm happy to say I'm having a blast and it has turned into something I look forward to every week. The staff are welcoming and not judgmental, happy to help you however they can. The facility is top notch and we'll maintained. The curriculum is well presented and works with you from the ground up. Best of all, I can enjoy all of this with people my own age who are equally passionate about it. A word of warning however; this place is not cheap and you are locked in until your

RAM has great coaches and amazing students. The environment is very encouraging and there are a variety of skill levels to learn from. I have been a student for around 5 years and have met amazing people and learned techniques for self-defense, sport, and fitness. Starting this journey was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Top quality instruction in multiple styles of martial arts, fitness and self defense. I trained here from 2007-2012 and have since moved away but come back to visit about once a year. The school, instructors and curriculum continue to evolve every time that I come back.
After 12 years in martial arts training and 3 states traveled, I still haven't found anything close to the level of RAM.

Walking through the doors at RAM was the best decision of my life. After separating from the AF at 23 post-DUI, 80 pounds overweight, and unable to do 3 pushups, I thought it would be cool. The staff of coaches along with my new giant family of students made me feel at ease and empowered immediately. After several years of obsession, I was teaching the kids and adults. After college, I moved to Las Vegas and the skills and more importantly confidence that I picked up over the years served me very well and still do! No matter how bad of a day you're having, when you walk through those doors, your

"There is no place like home"- this encompasses RAM completely. I began training the summer of 2017, signed up for a year and after several months of training I unfortunately moved out of state. During that time RAM made canceling my membership a breeze as they talked me through all the steps I needed to take to get my membership canceled. While away I visited many gyms, trying to find one to match the quality that RAM has and none compared.
A year later I returned to Lynchburg and have been training at RAM ever since. There is a wealth of knowledge at RAM that is second to none. The coaches are

This gym is amazing. I had the pleasure of training there for a year and it is still the gold standard of martial arts gym in my mind. I had to move away for the military and have not been able to find any other place that has the type of culture that welcomes everyone from the beginner level to upper level fighter. The coaching here is second to none.
