Anyone here go to Knuckle Up?

[ridgeline_06]

Well I've hired one of their fighters to train me. Costly but it will be life changing.

[Humphrizzle]

theres another way to go.

[ridgeline_06]

Im going back tomorrow at 12:30

[ridgeline_06]

How much do you guys pay? I think its gonna be $99 a month for me.

[BigBoosting]

I go to the one in Sandy Springs

[Tracy]

BTW, fuck Knuckle Up. I have been fucked ONCE AGAIN by them after trying to give them a chance.

[ridgeline_06]

What happened?

[wantboost]

yea what happened??? i used to train there 4 times a week and never had any problems.

[Tracy]

I trained there for 3 years 6 days a week and had nothing but problems.

[wantboost]

odd.... but then again i have really only dealt with the instructors.

[Pinkgirl]

What kind of problems? and why would you do it for sooo long if all you had was problems?

There is this thing that they have....called a contract You make the best out of it once you are locked in. If I have to pay $79/month, I'm going to use it. I enjoyed the classes and the concept of the classes. I didn't enjoy the owners attitude and the constant inorganization. I didn't enjoy that they constantly changed class schedules and couldn't keep a trainer if their life depended on it. Once you found a class and instructor you liked...it changed. I didn't like that after going there for 3 years (3 months short of the end of my contract) I moved and as per my contract if it was 30 miles or more away from a training center you could be out of the contract and they wouldn't abide by that and continued to charge my card. I had to dispute it with the cc company for months until the bank finally sided with me once looking over my contract.

There's more that I don't feel the need to get into nor do I care all that much. Same ol' different day. I'm in the process of trying to work out my most recent problem with my new account. Some of it was my fault for giving someone who worked there cash to sign me up for an account at the shop....and now they don't work there anymore (as of my trip to LA). My account never made it into the system although I went for new classes for a month and it was "in the system" somehow for that time period. I take responsibility for giving up the cash and trusting that I would be handled. I went to the gym and they were all aware that this person had come to my shop to set me up with the account since they asked me about who I was the next day after "setting up the account". So now I have no account and I am out of my money.

BTW, where did you come from and did you sign up just to make this post? Do you work for them? I ask this because you didn't introduce yourself and on your 3rd post after a "boobs" and another 2 word post ask me a question about this with a rude undertone....which seems typical of knuckle up attitude.

i see, the contract thing would piss me off also, and as for being able to keep instructors, i understand what you are talking about. One last question, did you go there for kickboxing/personal training. only reason i ask is those are the only classes i have no clue about.

I took one PT class which was included in my contract..."one free PT class". It was fine. $70/hr so I never signed up for one that I had to pay for. I guess it prolly depends on the trainer you get.

Im pretty sure. 2 instructors from Knuckleup fight in the UFC, How many people from Tiger Academy fight in the UFC? Im not saying our amateur fighters are amazing, but we have some really good fighters that dont fight at cowboys or anywhere like that anymore, they are stepping up

Ive never really heard of Tiger Academy to be honest

[CSquared]

What are the rates like? I've wanted to go there for few years now, but there is only so much you can door as a sorry as poor college student.

if you never heard of tiger academy then you haven't really been around, but then again you barely have been around...the school is about training...not about who has more fighters in the ufc...its about quality and not how many people we can train to get our name out there and stickers on their cars...trust me...i was goin to join knuckle up like everyone else cause its well know and i am good friends with the instructors as well...but after doing the research and going to the fights...tiger academy was the smarter choice...i would advise anyone who is thinking of training to go visit the school and fights and make your own decision...

I keep reading you guys saying $79-$99 is expensive....

that makes me cry....

The Karate school I operate charges much more than that....and it's for children.

I guess teaching adults how to fight = $79 a month, teaching children how to be better kids = $199 a month...

Looks like I made the right decision :P

Anyway, I have only heard good things about the tiger academy. If there is one close to you then give them a try.

i know exactly what you are talking about...i don't attend either one at the moment due to injury so it doesn't matter to me whos balls your swinging from...if you wanna be like everyone else then go join knuckle up...i'm sure they are a good school...and i think they give you a big ass sticker to put on your car so everyone knows your a badass...but if you are training to become an actually fighter like UFC shit then Tiger Academy would be better
