"No More Excuses"
Granita Young | Zumba
I have had struggles with maintaining my weight my whole life. I was always able to lose, usually in an unhealthy way through "fad" diets, but I always eventually gained the weight back...and then some.
After the birth of my second child, I found myself obese wearing a size 24 pants. Although I pushed on, I was miserable. After a vacation to Puerto Rico and seeing those pictures, I came back home determined to make a permenent and healthy change. No more yo-yo.
In a quest to find fun ways to get fit, I discovered Zumba Fitness, which uses latin and world rhythms and dance to create an exciting fitness system. I fell in love with the music when vacationing in Puerto Rico and Zumba Fitness taught me to dance and enjoy in movement.
And the best part... 3 years later I am not only a healthy weight, but I am strong and fit. So, I look forward to showing you how to Join the Party!!

Shaunette Byers
I was a size 26/28 when I was diagnosed with Cancer. I declared the day they wheeled me into the operating room "as the beginning of the rest of my life". As a result I made a commitment to exercise and change my eating habits. Within the 1st two months of my "lifestyle" change I got rid of 30lbs (as opposed to the common term "lost"- believe me I was not trying to find those lbs).
Now more than 2 years later I am close to 100 lbs lighter, 75 inches smaller and now wear a 12/14. I know honestly if it was not for the Cancer scare i might not have ever changed my lifestyle. Now, I plan to use my God given gifts and talents to not only improve my life but to also affect positive change in others.
My message to everyone is not to wait for a potentially fatal disease to motivate you to do something. Look within yourself and the world around you to find things most important to you. Let these things help motivate you to make that "Lifestyle" change. "you only get one body, it is time to treat is like the temple it is"

I have been training in Jiu Jitsu for over 9 years. I’ve trained with several true masters of the art over the years from USA, Korea, Japan, and Brazil. I’ve taken the best from each to establish what truly works in MMA. I believe in teaching every single submission and escape (yes that includes heel hooks) right from the beginning.
If you would like to take the next step to see if you have what it takes in MMA or if you’re just looking for a home to take your skills to the next level, come check us out…We’ll train with anyone. Every one leaves their egos at the door, we all come to train as a team and leave better then when we came in.
We also plan to have several MMA Veteran Fighter’s come in to give training seminars from time to time. This will give you a different prospective and outlook on MMA.
