Dan Forsyth aka John, aka Julie- bless your heart! In response to your recent review of Elite Fitness, lets address your issues. First, why would you think it odd that kids be around adults in a family atmosphere? We built this business for family 35 years ago!!!! Here is a recent picture of this dilapidated building that is CLEARLY sign posted, yet you had to go next door to the gas station, which by the way is 3 buildings down the street to confirm our identity. Are you able to read?? We are in the 21st century. We have turn by turn directions on our mobile phones and neighbors all around us with addresses. As far as the shady transaction and claim that someone entered the building- were you using your binoculars or were you wearing your P.I .hat?? The devil presents himself in many ways including liars and cheaters. You, sir or maam, are a coward. Please inform your church that Master Graham, John Graham Sr. hasnt been here for at least 3 years and was mostly retired for several years before that. Ask anyone including those that are 3rd generation students and they will tell you who ran this company. It sure wasnt him. The only thing that has gone downhill since he left is your fakeness and his reputation. We DO NOT run a daycare business. To set the record straight it is an after school karate pickup program. We are NOT a licensed daycare. We were not shut down! Our business, as well as many more, were shut down for 2 months during the COVID pandemic. Thank goodness people dont believe everything they read and are able to FACT check because of shady people like you. I am going to pray for you- wish I knew your real name! Signed Yvette McClure (formerly Graham)- my REAL NAME!!

I decided to post a review as we were almost put in a terrible situation because of the old reviews on google. The most recent review is for the gym that is also part of the business, which seemed odd to me that an adult gym would be allowed to be run out of the same business as a childs program? We decided to visit the program in order to determine if it would be appropriate for our three youngest. My wife and I pulled up in front of a dilapidated building that looked closed except for two cars. We pulled into the gas station next door in order to check the address. We were horrified to see two males engage in a shady transaction and one of the males walked over to Elite Fitness/ Martial Arts and entered the building. We left immediately! I began talking with others in our church about this program only to find out that the Master Graham, whom the positive reviews were written about left about two years ago and since then the business has gone completely downhill. Late last week my wife told me she read on Facebook that they were shut down for operating an illegal daycare without a license, leaving many parents suddenly without care. Probably for the best, we were able to find care at a licensed facility for about 20 dollars less per week. Just thought I would share so parents can make an informed decision.UPDATE: After being attacked and accused of being a person named John or Julie I have defiantly decided to update my review. Clearly there is something going on with the business and this owner. Rather than reach out to me and rectify the situation like a responsible business owner, she has become nasty. It is tempting to take down my review, however others should be aware of the horrible business practices. Instead I will be blocking her emails. Everyone should feel free to visit and make up their own minds, however I feel as though they will have the same experience we did. God Bless.

Moved to the area two years ago and were in the hunt for a place for childcare. Not only do they pick up your child from school, but they teach them karate and life skills. Its a win - win right? Well, it ended up being a HUGE WIN!! Not only, did our daughter do well in karate and enhance and refine her mannerism, but she truly gained life long friends in her class and in the Graham family. She has learned so much in the two years she spent here, and my husband and I could not be more proud of her. Thank you Graham Family!! We love and miss you!!

My son has been attending karate classes at Elites After-School Program for two years now. I am extremely impressed with their instructors and staff, they genuinely care about their kids and that always shows when I pick up my son and he talks about his day!( It is also a HUGE help that they help him with his Homework while they are there so I can enjoy time with him after work! )
