What People Are Saying

“It’s often said to beginners that “the best gym to pick is the one you’ll keep going to”. I think RH is the epitome of this philosophy. They will do what they can to help you get in and train. Even though it’s not the closest gym I could go to, the welcoming atmosphere, communicative coaches, and collaborative community are a cut above.”

— Alex C.

I cannot say enough how amazing the Rough Hands family is. I say family because it feels just like I am part of a family when I'm with them--everyone is so welcoming and excited to train.

When I started training, I was nervous for many reasons. Every instructor I've worked with at Rough Hands has done a great job meeting me where I'm at and creating a plan to move forward successfully.

— Crystal A.

“Rough Hands is a pretty unique place to train, and I wholly recommend it . . . I've been going as I'm able for over 2 years now and I still learn new things just about every visit . . . The people at RH make training a joy. They are supportive, often funny, and flat-out helpful. The more experienced people are almost always willing to help out with the finer points of a specific technique..”
