What families say
“This is such a warm and welcoming gym. I enjoy training at different gyms when I travel and have been to M Theory now twice. They are so welcoming and friendly while giving good solid training and rolls. I cannot recommend this gym enough. Good vibes, clean and spacious training mats. Knowledge instructors and friendly training partners. 100% I will be back to train when in the area!” — Lucas Nelson
“Absolutely incredible school. My 3YO daughter takes naps on her own just so she can go train after she wakes up! Absolutely amazing classes for the kids and the best instruction and training in the city for adults.” — Drew Richards
“I visited this gym while traveling for work and it was awesome. I can’t remember everyone’s name because so many people went out of their way to introduce themselves and ask about me. Everyone was friendly even while we had hard rolls. Great people, great mats, bathrooms, changing rooms, hanging out area. What more could you asked for.” — DHamilton
