The two people I spoke with were very unprofessional and rude, the way they pitch their sales has SCAM written all over it, I was telling the guy me and my cousin want to check the place out and sign up if possible, he told me the only way i can go inside is if I sign up.... like what... my dude you want me to pay for a 6 month agreement before even looking at the place..not surprised after reading all the other reviews concerning the same problem

This is the greatest Dojo/martial arts gym in the United States. Period! It is easily one of the hardest training gyms that takes the success of its students very seriously. However, with that, there is no intimidation factor, no egos and no stress of being new or inadequate. All members are treated as family, with each member being seen as an equal student and contributor. From the professional fighters to the single parent, everyone is on equal grounds. What you will notice immediately is that the higher the students rank, the more willing they are to contribute, help and teach. At Coopers Gym you learn the essence and become the embodiment of family, honor, knowledge, duty and hope.Under the tutelage of the world renowned and legendary staff and support group at Coopers Gym, you will be resurrected and built up as a better version of your idealized self. You not only gain the knowledge of the fighting arts from elite grand masters whom have trained all over the world, but you will understand how to break the limits of your own constructs and those that society has placed on you. You walk in as Clark Kent, but you leave as Superman: powerful but with a gentle, kinder and giving spirit; knowledgeable without the ego; you are humble, but -- God forbid! -- should the time come, you are an absolutely unstoppable force to be reckoned with and feared. This is Coopers Gym.

Coopers Gym is a school of martial arts that provides training by experts. This is a place that you can trust. It provides an excellent education within a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. There is no other place like Coopers gym, not only are you taught by experts, you are also treated with kindness and respect. I recommend this gym for anyone who wants to train and learn martial arts, it is the best!

First off, when you sign up for Coopers you get access to all the locations. So this review isnt about this particular gym, but is about the underlying management of this organization as a whole.When you call Coopers, youll get into contact with one of the directors, his name is David. David will never discuss prices over the phone and will persist you to meet up in person at one of the locations. When you get there, he will try to sell you on the FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) and then upsell you on some of the benefits the gym has to offer which is a HUGE red flag (watch out for this). Which they do have some.. but its not what he makes it seem out to be.The classes for the most part are never the same. Itll be a different instructor teaching each class so you never really get a chance to build a personal connection with a particular coach. For some that may bother you, for others not so much.Also, if you put a deposit down. Look at is as youre never going to get it back. I tried asking for my intial deposit back and David never replied back to my texts or calls. So ill be contacting my bank :)Overall the particular I went to gym is somewhat good, but its not for someone who wants to really want to develop your skill. Id advise you looking somewhere else for that. No shade against the instructors that Ive interacted with at all.Dont trust David!

I have been coming here for about 3 years. Training in Muay Thai. I am a full time student at Wayne State University and this is only 10 minutes away from campus. This is the perfect place to get your stress out. Freaking out about exam or your self worth in life? I have been there. That is why whenever I come train here I always feel so good about myself.

Dont fall for their sales technique by causing Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) and pressuring you into signing up. Comes off very unethical and shady. I dont think a great Dojo need to apply those strategies.

My children and wife really like this school. Mark jr and Kelly participate in the karate classes and their self esteem has increased. Sue has lost 25 lbs in the kickboxing class. I want to join but I work 65 hours plus, hopefully next month.

I was referred to Coopers Gym by a co-workerToday was suppose to be my first session with a personal trainer November 12, 2016. I signed up and paid for two one on one personal training session last Saturday November 5, 2016. My session was suppose to be at 09:30 this morning. I get there at 09:31 and it was closed. There was a car in the back, so I called and let them know I was out front, I knock and knock no one answer. I picked Saturday Morning because it was convenient for me, because they could not accommodate me during the week for the times that worked for me. I still have yet to received a called back and I probably wont get my money, they will try to sell me with the womans kick boxing class. I just want my money back for the inconvenience . The first impression is always important and they have turn me off.

PROS:1. Multiple locations2. Multiple disciplines trained3. They dont go easy on you in general (so you get results)4. They can work with you on payment plans5. Multiple instructors (both male and female)6. Members are looked at as part of one big Coopers family7. A lot of training equipment8. Safety and discipline generally stressed9. They are good motivators in generalCONS1. While they purport to offer a whole lot of different systems and martial styles, they tend to steer you to the systems they want you to learn while ignoring what you want.2. The instructors often dont seem to be on the same page. What one instructor tells you in one class is often contradicted by another instructor in another class.3. The family feel and atmosphere sometimes strays over into feeling almost cult like.4. Though they have a lot of good equipment, most of the locations I saw could use better equipment set ups in general (e.g. they need more hanging bags).5. At certain locations parking can be a problem.Coopers is a good gym if you want to get in shape, learn basic self defense, martial arts or fighting sports. They dont go easy on you like a lot of places which charge an arm and a leg but, baby and pamper their students because they are afraid of losing paying customers. You will get into shape quickly and learn good basic skills that you will be confident in using in a self defense situation. A lot of places just tell their students what they want to hear and have students walking around thinking they have proficiency and skills they really dont possess. That could get you killed.On the other hand, Coopers does have some issues they need to address. Some of the members join for boxing, MMA or other fighting sports but, complain they never get any bouts/fights scheduled despite many promises to the contrary. They also seem to welch on other things. I trained there a while ago and was told multiple times I could train in some different disciplines they claimed they offered but, I was stone walled for months. All indications were that they were feeding me BS the whole time. The head guy, while nice, swore up and down they taught all kinds of different systems which I never saw any traces of. It was like dealing with used car salesmen and cult members all rolled into one.The basic classes are affordable but, if you want to learn real skills beyond the most rudimentary, you need to get Coopers private lessons which cost an arm and a leg.Sometimes some of the classes will shut down out of the blue for extended periods of time with no word from anyone. Also, while questions are not discouraged, they clam up if you ask the wrong ones (like, What happened to suchn such instructor that disappeared a month ago?).Due to my contract period running out, schedule, and a non training related injury, I stopped training there. At first the training got me into good shape and I progressed on the basics but, shortly after that I realized that the general classes were not set up for much progression beyond learning the basics. You have to pay a lot to go beyond. That, and being given the run-around about other systems they claimed to teach, prompted me to reflect on where I wanted to go from there. I may return but, at this point its not likely. I wish Coopers well either way but, their program would be a lot better if they stopped to reorganize it.If youre serious, its still better than your typical strip-mall Tae Kwon Do or Aikido class though. If you are just looking for basic self defense and/or staying in shape then Coopers Gym is certainly above average. If however, you are looking for a specific system, advanced training, and/or competition at an affordable cost, then Coopers is hit or miss when it comes to how good it is.
