Gotham Gym/ Savage MMA and Fitness LLC: Opinions
Positive experience: Great fitness coaches! They let me clean as payment for a couple lessons. Flexible training hours! But…… Behavior between the two is a bit raunchy and they fight in-front of trainee’s.
Fantastic experience: Went to this gym for 2-3 years for the gym equipment, and it was overall a great gym. So many ways to do different types of workouts and I really enjoyed my time there. Good people I’ve met through that gym as well, and my experience was great.
Fantastic experience: I started training here in November I was 230 lbs now I am 198 lbs feel better than I have in 10 years. ai love the training and the drive.
Fantastic experience: I've been going to this gym for a few months now. I struggled in the past to get lessons in MMA and it's not free but it's quality. Steph has been my coach and she's competitive and lets you pick her brain. The quality of the training I got anywhere else was good for 5 minutes and there every second I'm training, I'm learning. They've been really good and are super flexible with schedule and will make sure you're learning. They're very good trainers and it's a fun and competitive. They also make damn sure you don't slack. They want you to improve. My wife is on a weight loss, muscle building journey and she started this week and she's already loved it and plans to keep going and going more often! I've loved my experience with Josh and Steph! They're great trainers.
Fantastic experience: Great place for my son to learn and grow. Flexible schedule and easy to communicate with.
Negative experience: Was a customer first and became friends with these people at one point. Then when I asked to pause my membership they started making stuff up, saying i signed a year long contract. I'm now getting collection letters from their payment processor for $4,590. Run far far away
Fantastic experience: Been going to this gym for a couple of months now. This place is awesome! Whether you want to train to improve in martial arts/kickboxing/Muy Thai or simply get a lift in, this is a great place to do it. The coaches are friendly, attentive, helpful, and they aren't afraid to push you to get the results you're looking for. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone in any phase of their fitness journey!
Negative experience: If I could give 0 stars I would. Stay away from them... not worth it.
Negative experience: DO NOT GO TO THIS GYM!!!! I signed up for a membership about 2 years ago when they were located in Akron maybe a year later I tried to cancel the membership due to medical bills. Josh would not cancel it, he wouldn’t return phone calls or anything so I had to cancel my bank card and get a new card. Just last week I got a phone call from a debt collector saying that I owe this gym over 2,000 dollars from “past due” balance….. Josh is a dirty person. Read all the other reviews on this place of people having the same problems with them getting charged or trying to cancel. This place is nothing but a scam.
It's important to clarify a few points regarding your situation. You only wrote this review only after being contacted for an unpaid debt that you initially agreed to and refused to resolve with us.
Regarding your defaming comments, let's be clear, we are transparent from the very beginning! Every customer has full access to their membership, contract and details, as every customer picks and customizes what type of membership they want when signing up. Let’s be honest, the contract wasn’t the problem, it was your lack of commitment. Don’t blame us when you didn’t want to show up. When you purchase a vehicle, you are responsible for the payments every month. That responsibility doesn’t go away because the car sits in your driveway. You’d still have to make your car payment every month.
We have attempted to reach you multiple times and received no response on how to resolve the past due bill. Interestingly enough, you can find the time to go write a review … you will notice the similar reviews are from people who also have made no attempt to resolve their unpaid bills.
Heres the deal …We are a professional training center where our staff is exceptionally trained, educated and committed to getting our clients the results they desire. The simple fact is our staff set aside time and showed up for you. For you not to pay them is despicable. If your boss asked you to work a certain amount of hours and then refused to pay you, you would be furious. We arent a scam…We are a business!
Negative experience: Very basic equipment, barely any room to move around, the ceiling constantly leaked on the floor, and the bathroom is carpeted which is unsanitary. I have gotten far better results working out at my home gym.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, very friendly staff!!!!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend...
Negative experience: These weirdos make up contract terms and when you try to cancel say you owe them thousands of dollars. Stay far away
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have encountered, but upon reviewing our records, we do not have any record of you being a member of our facility.
We take great pride in our business practices and strive to ensure transparency and fairness in all our interactions with customers. We value the trust and satisfaction of our clients, and it is certainly not our policy to create fictitious contract terms or engage in unethical practices. As a company, we appreciate honest feedback and the opportunity to address any genuine concerns. However, we cannot accept the spread of false information that could potentially harm our reputation or mislead others.
If there has been a genuine error or misunderstanding, we kindly encourage you to reach out to us directly with your accurate information, including your name and any proof of your attendance at our facility, so that we can investigate the matter and work towards a resolution. We are committed to providing exceptional service and resolving any issues to the best of our abilities.
Fantastic experience: Josh is awesome! Highly recommend Gotham Gym!
Fantastic experience: I didn’t know what to think coming in awls I knew is I needed change. So I took steps to invest in my self with one of the most professional hands down trainers I have ever met. He takes time to teach you the right way no matter how long it takes. Me and my wife have been with Josh since December 19 and have seen tremendous results already. For anyone looking for an elite training program Josh is your man. Precise and calculated. Thank you for working with us.
Fantastic experience: I joined Gotham in March 2022 and I have not been disappointed for one second. I started out enjoying the 24/7 access. After a couple months of hitting the bags and training on my own, I decided to start doing some one on one sessions for boxing with Steph and Josh. It was the best decision I could of made. My boxing fundamentals and endurance have improved immensely. Their knowledge and commitment to take a client to the next level is second to none.
Fantastic experience: I can’t speak highly enough of Josh and Steph and the level of professionalism and dedication they have to us as clients. My husband and I decided to invest in ourselves, our health and future with Gotham Gym and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! This isn’t your “average gym” with powerlifters and such. They incorporate various strength, endurance and overall athletic training techniques. I’ve never felt stronger in my life and I’m a 38 year old mother of 4 and it’s only been 1 month!! They keep it fun and exciting and with training like this there’s no way to “plateau”. After reading some of the bad reviews on here, the only conclusion I can come up with is these disgruntled people decided to invest in themselves as well, realized the level of commitment it ACTUALLY takes then decided to blame the owners for THEIR OWN LACK of motivation and dedication to actually do the work to improve themselves ♀️ Go with Gotham Gym… you WILL NOT be disappointed if you actually put in the work and listen to these amazing trainers!
Negative experience: DO NOT GO TO THIS GYM! STAY AWAY! The owner (Josh) is sheisty! He moved the location of the gym without informing the clients. I've been trying to cancel my membership for months. There is no contract. It is month to month. I have called, emailed as he requested and gone in person. When I went in person he refused to cancel it. Threatened me and insulted me. I had to cancel through my bank. Do not go here!
Octaviano, We sincerely apologize for any dissatisfaction you may have experienced. Our team made significant efforts to accommodate your requests in accordance with our established policies and went to great lengths to arrange multiple meetings with you. Regrettably, on each occasion, you were unable to attend these scheduled meetings. During those times, our staff was present and ready to assist you. Subsequently, you arrived at our facility unannounced, hoping to consult with a staff member, but unfortunately, our staff was preparing for an important meeting and therefore unable to meet. The manner in which you approached our team and conducted yourself exhibited hostility and disrespect towards both our staff and our establishment, leading to the decision to restrict your access to our facility. We genuinely hope that in the future, you will engage in more appropriate conduct.
Negative experience: This gym is horrible, i never do reviews on businesses but this business owner is sheisty. Charged my card for $58 On the 7th and then did it again 8 days later and ghosted me. Never contacts people back, and do not give him your info from your banking info. Just save the headache and go somewhere else.
We appreciate your feedback and take all reviews seriously, even when they are critical. However, we would like to address some inaccuracies in your recent review.
Regarding your billing concerns, we have already discussed this and since you want to spread false information and defame our facility and staff … allow me to clarify some things. You have full access to your account and have been provided the records showing that the charges are exactly in line with the terms you set and requested from us, which are outlined in your contract.
Your account became past due multiple times just in the short time you have been here. You have contacted us due to being locked out of the facility each time your account fell past due, but you failed to mention that in your review.
Your request for a refund for the previous month was due to your lack of attendance, but it is your responsibility to attend. Not ours. If you are unable to pay your bills, then get rid of the fancy Mercedes and apparel that you showed up in and live within your means.
It's important to clarify that we did not “ghost” you. We have responded to all your inquiries and requests, both during regular business hours and outside of them via business communication and my personal cell.
The charges you incurred were for 24/7 access as well as one 30-minute private session per week for individual, specialized training at your request. Our coaches were available for these sessions, but you did not show. This is a professional training center. Our staff is committed to our clients and we expect the same in return.
Additionally, it's worth noting that when you joined our facility, you had recently left other local gyms expressing negative sentiments about them. This context leads us to believe that the gym itself may not be the issue, but rather YOU.
If you have any further concerns or would like to discuss your experience in more detail, please reach out to us, and we will be happy to assist you.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, very friendly staff!!!!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend...
Fantastic experience: Josh is awesome! Highly recommend Gotham Gym!
Negative experience: I tested out the gym and it was a okay experience no complaints on quality of equipment or trainers. My poor review is from watching this company charge my boyfriend numerous times for a weekly training commitment way past when he canceled. He had to dispute it and the owner claimed he would stop charging him several more charges still came through. After the dispute my boyfriend got some of his money back but it was after unnecessary stress and bank calls all while the owner claimed it was already canceled and he wasn’t being charged. He also had times where the trainer he was supposed to see weekly, wasn’t responsive and yet still he was charged. Unprofessional really, I share this only as a cautionary tale to prevent others from the stress of being financially taken advantage of.
Fantastic experience: Nothing in my life has ever built my confidence like Savage MMA did I came in with no fighting experience at all A couple years spent with Josh and his team and I have a newfound pride in all of my affairs Business, fitness, relationships, etc Stop waiting and just DO IT There's not a more valuable investment than this
Fantastic experience: See you soon. #futurechampion
Fantastic experience: Their curriculum is amazing and their training program is amazing. I had to quit going because I couldn’t really afford the $200 a month and the time it was taking away from my family. The main coach Josh was super understanding we had a bit of trouble with the cancellation but he helped me through the process no questions asked.
Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality
Fantastic experience: I brought my 5 year old (BLACK) son to josh to help him build his confidence and learn how to protect himself. I have the most reserved and introverted kid there is and he has absolutely blossomed!!! He’s working so hard and him being there is changing him in so many ways. I love the environment !!! It truly is a great place
Fantastic experience: Any luck with competition, to have a mma career?
Fantastic experience: Very open and understanding owner. I wasn't there for very long, but the training was intense. Great place to go if you want to become a fighter, or if you want to see results within 2 weeks.
Fantastic experience: Josh is an excellent coach highly recommend training with savage mma
Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality
Fantastic experience: I had called so many places trying to find more personal training with conditioning and self defense. I am so happy I came across Savage MMA. This is exactly what I wanted. Josh Hillman is absolutely the most outstanding trainer. He makes sure I'm working myself up to harder workouts and walks me through form and breathing. He always explains everything thoroughly. I have been going for 5 weeks and my family, friends, and coworkers have noticed a difference. I always look forward to coming here!
Fantastic experience: The negative reviews on here are unwarranted. The classes aren't your Planet Fitness/hand holding, stress free, treadmill classes. It's a mixed martial arts gym and the owner is a fighter, not Dr. Phil or some personal trainer who motivates you for a paycheck. Josh wants his students to engage, learn, grow and succeed. He's not there to tell you how many push-ups to do or say "c'mon you can do one more c'mon". More of a rhetorical "Why aren't you doing more?" That being said, you get out what you put into the classes. If you only want to workout, the conditioning classes are frequent and you cannot beat the price for what you get. If you want to train, great place.
Negative experience: Don’t even waste your time going there
Negative experience: Don't waste your time if your looking to teach your kids the intagibles like responsibility and accountability...staff doesn't have them so you know they won't be taught.
Negative experience: The owner, Joshua Hillman, is one of the most disrespectful and ill-mannered human beings I have ever encountered. The training is a waste of time and money, and is equivalent, if not worse, than going on YouTube and taking notes on two middle schoolers throwing hands. If you aspire to be someone who will always get looked down on, can’t fend for themselves, completely disrespected and treated like a sweaty gym sock then Savage MMA is the place for you! So withdraw your life saving, put on your spandex, grab your Socker Boppers and give the place a call...you’ll be ready to fight helpless women, the elderly and even small children in no time at all! #savagelife
Negative experience: I would agree with the very low reviews I wasn’t even able to get into the gym, just a telephone call with one of their people, (Joshua Hillman founder) was enough to let me know that they were rude, obtrusive arrogant, ignorant, evasive, had the Audacity to tell me that my questions, on class structure were pointless, and Upon my asking if I could simply come in and observe what they did how they did it how they interact with students the level of instruction, he became indignant stating that he might not even be willing to except me as a student anyway! When my whole point was to decide whether I even want to bother with him, or the school For that matter. I didn’t even get to ask how do you get any high-level training out of one hour three times a week that’s not elite training! One hour conditioning one hour actual training that in itself gave me second thoughts. Oh OK in an hour on Saturday as well. Smh! I told him I’d rather train in my backyard With rabid raccoons Fresh out of the dumpster Than so much is give the time of day to someone who didn’t have the basic business sense/common courtesy, and decency in dealing with potential students, and or business development! I would say don’t even bother calling! Let alone joining/going!
Fantastic experience: Just left a self defense class with my 13 yr old daughter and her 13 yr old friend. Josh Hillman taught these 2 girls how to protect themselves way better than I expected! Just watching him and listening you can feel his passion. I am so happy I brought them and will be returning for more classes!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place. The owner and others who woekout and train here are some of the most supportive, encouraging, and motivating people I've ever met. My children attend classes here as well and they work hard and enjoy the classes.
Fantastic experience: Great place! Doesn't bring up price until your sure you want to do it.
Fantastic experience: I started savage June of 2014. It was a difficult time for myself. I was constantly using my inhaler and my weight became a real problem after having two girls. As soon as I walked in, I was welcomed with a smile from the owner. He took the time to sit with me, and discuss my goals and aspirations. I started at savage with only the intent to loose weight. Since then, I have ran in two warrior dashes, started training with the mma class, gained muscle, lost weight, had skin removal surgery, competed, and maintained my asthma. EVERYONE is a blessing and has been the greatest support. The coaches are top notch and know what they are doing. Savage MMA is going places and I'm proud to be part of this establishment.
Negative experience: By far the worst mma and fitness place to go to. They have no accomplishments yet a HUGE ego. And the trainers are rude!!
Negative experience: I agree with Steven
Negative experience: Extremely High ego with no REAL accomplishments, rude to new potential customers. Uncomfortable for a nonwhite individual. Too rude to even discuss price per month for a membership. Highly recommend to get a membership elsewhere.
