This place is absolutely amazing. My entire family goes here to train and everyone from the owners, coaches, admin staff treat everyone like family. Coach Jesse is incredible when it comes to working with kids and Coach Gio and Coach Kalani are excellent coaches who constantly push you to perform at your best. Joining this gym has been one of the best decisions we as a family have made. Thanks HBUTC!!

Honest opinion? They will try to charge you for two months after you leave, not to mention an initiation fee and mandatory GI purchase, every tactic to get you locked in but lack to deliver as promised, so you will inevitably find yourself in my position when you 'ultimately' decide to leave and most likely have to change your card or bank account. Staff is disrespectful by large and gym is dirty and under-equipped. I wished to to avoid writing a negative review since i enjoyed working with Jesse the intermediate Jiu Jitsu coach, but my overall impression of the gym is 1 star, not to

For a girl who doesn't love to workout, I love this gym! All the trainers are really nice and make you feel comfortable in a very skilled gym. If you haven't tried a kickboxing class, try it here! You don't need to know anything. They'll wrap your hands for you and take care of you! These guys are badass fighters! Fun to be around! you can buy your gloves and wraps when you get there!

I love this gym. This is my first experience ever. I scoped out different places but HBUTC stole my heart. The warm welcoming you get when you first open the door and walk in is priceless. All the staff, Amanda Jesse and Steve are amazing! That smile Amanda gives you when she first see’s you is amazing! This place is super family oriented!
You’ll love it here!

My favorite place to work out. I've been going here for ten years and the gym is so clean the staff is great. It's really the best work out and your able to learn from the pros. Great group of diverse people all there for the same cause. Not intimidating at all for a beginner and wide selection of boot camp and kick boxing classes for whatever your liking may be. Your body will thank you. :)

The kickboxing classes are awesome, each coach has their own touch to change it up and make it fun. Got hooked after my first free trial week of classes. Started out by just going Tuesday's and Thursdays and the occasional Friday and now I make it there any time I can. It's fun seeing the regulars and also meeting new people at the classes. Definitely recommend joining, you won't regret it.

Been medically separated from the Marine Corp for a C-2 fracture and been out of the Corp for about one to two years now and couldn't find the motivation to do any work outside or attend a gym but an employer (Gorge) from this gym came to my work place and gave me a free trial after that trail I couldn't get enough so I became a member and the people here very friendly and the trainers got me really motivated. I really enjoying the trainer Steven here he gives great workouts.

Our family started here when I bought a bjj Groupon voucher for my husband and son. They both went in without any prior mma experience. Both of them instantly fell in love. We became family in a short month.
Coach jesse is the kids bjj coach and truly is someone made to teach children. He's patient, kind, and stern when needed to keep the kids in line and to know boundaries for themselves and others. They have a big emphasis on teaching kids the skills to protect themselves from bullies.
After watching them on the sideline, I decided to join for their kickboxing classes. This has been

This by far is the best gym I could have ever joined. From day one I have been treated like family. Being pushed to my breaking point day in and day out. Tiki is one of the best in the business and it shows when I comes to his attention to detail in both fighting and fitness.
I encourage everyone to take at least one free class and I guarantee you'll be hooked. Huge facility with plenty of room to get whatever work you might want to put in, out.

I came in with a groupon for Dad & son BJJ classes for a month and came in with one day left to expire,
I was lazy and at my heaviest weight, a month went by and my son Loved the Kids BJJ classes with Jesse and i was shedding pounds from the adult BJJ classes, my wife joined us at the gym a couple months later and is taking Kick boxing and we all love it at HBUTC, couldn't ask for a better staff of trainers/ coaches and Amanda who handles just about everything, while having a big smile with a cheerful attitude, I recommend this gym for anyone and everyone, it's truly like a family

My son's friends were doing BJJ here and convinced my son to start as well. He loved it right away; Coach Jesse is amazing with the little ones both for instruction and discipline. The kids learn a lot about BJJ, wrestling, fitness and even some basic kickboxing while also learning how to stop bullies. There's classes for both young beginners and intermediate older kids. I can't recommend it enough.
Even though I had never done any kind of kickboxing or jiu jitsu or any kind of mixed martial art outside of wrestling in high school after a couple weeks of watching I had to jump

I've been coming to this gym for many years now. The staff is extremely educated on fitness and are so helpful and motivating. They know exactly how to make you feel welcomed and comfortable every day. The classes are a great workout. My favorite class is the ultimate fit kickboxing which incorporates circuit training with the kickboxing.
I would HIGHLY recommend this gym to anyone who wants to change their life and be the healthiest and look the best that they ever have! This place changed my life. Love the HBUTC fam!
P.S. the cancellation policy and process are explained in great detail

Love this place!!! A lot of great trainers and The owner,"Tiki", is not only a very solid, rational, and awesome business owner, and an Very Accomplished MMA Fighter himself, but also a VERY EXPERIENCED, Knowledgeable, KickBoxer, Wrestling , and Stand up instructor!!! If you get a chance to work with him or any of his instructors 1 on 1 (especially) or during a class, I highly suggest you take advantage..
The Gym itself has a bunch of clean, new looking , but broke in long Heavy bags for Punching, Kicking, Kneeing, and Elbowing! Also their is a Very cool cage that you will be able to

HBUTC is as hardcore as it gets, and still manages to be a welcoming and fun. Skyler and Ray are my favorite trainers there so far. The ultimate fit training classes combine bag work and intervals and are so hard and so awesome.
I always walk out of this gym feeling empowered, positive and ready to tackle whatever is in front of me.
Highly recommend.
... As for the negative comments about membership policies, refunds, etc, here on Yelp... it was very clear to me when I signed up what the cancellation policies are. They have an early cancellation fee like any other contract. In fact when I

After the first time prospect customer trail kickboxing class, I asked about membership and cost. After the employee, Mike, gave me the run down, I asked if I could apply the yelp deal they have on their page. He asked what it was and I answered with "it's a $100 voucher", he said yes. I logged on yelp, bought the deal on the spot and showed him the promo code to apply it to the membership I was going to buy and the planning on putting the rest on my debit card.
He reads it and then informs me he cannot accept it because he was knocking off the enrollment fee. Needless to say,
