Ares Kickboxing & Fitness

Expérience fantastique: This place is so welcoming and incredible. The instructor Rob Dixon was really inviting in teaching my daughters their first class along with my wife and myself in the group classes as well. This is something new for us, but we had a great time and will be back for sure the next time we are in North Bay. They love their craft. They loved their studio and it shows it’s a Must do in Northbay!

Expérience fantastique: Our family is having an amazing experience at Ares with both Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu. It's been a fantastic journey for us all. The instructors here are remarkable, blending professionalism with a genuine love for the sport, ensuring everyone, from beginners to the more advanced, is well supported. The atmosphere in both the adult and children’s classes is unbeatable. It’s the perfect mix of fun and hard work, pushing us to our limits in a clean, well-equipped facility. What truly sets Ares Kickboxing apart is its welcoming community. The supportive and encouraging environment makes it easy for our family to stay motivated and committed to our fitness journeys.

Expérience fantastique: Very caring and helpful. Great workouts that cater to each person.

Expérience fantastique: I have been going to Rob for personal training for a few years now and it was the best decision. He's a great trainer who listened to what I was interested in (kick boxing) and incorporated it into our sessions. The sessions are always tough but never more than I can handle, Rob is a great motivator who pays attention and listens, taking care to ensure the exercises are safe and customized to each individuals needs and fitness level. He's also just a genuinely nice human being. 5 stars!

Expérience fantastique: Salt of the earth humans. Myself and four of my kids trained there. We had gone through a very difficult time and Rob and Jenn were amazing. Always welcoming, challenging, and friendly. Best workout of my life, increased quality of life for our entire family and our fitness level exceptional !

Expérience fantastique: Big clean modern gym and mats with friendly and professional trainers and a fun atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: This is a great gym! Went there for BJJ and really loved Rob’s teaching. Great group of people that were welcoming, funny, and helpful. No inflated egos. If you’re already into BJJ or just starting out, Ares is an awesome spot.

Expérience fantastique: Ares is a great place to get a solid workout in! Rob has cultured a friendly environment where you can strive for your fitness goals, no matter your skill level. He runs great Muay Thai and Brazilian Jujitsu classes, both of which are well structured so you'll come away learning something new everyday! Definitely worth coming out for a class to try it out!

Expérience fantastique: Awesome place ! I travel a lot and I'm really happy to have found a place to enjoy in North Bay. Great information. Quality people to train with. Really fun energy. Thanks Coach Rob for providing a healthy environment that keeps people coming back for more.

Expérience fantastique: This club is good, I like it.

Expérience fantastique: This club offers amazing training that will push you to your limits to help you become the best version of yourself. The owners, Rob and Jen are very professional and provide a fun and safe atmosphere for everyone to enjoy their workout and learn valuable skills and techniques. They have an amazing facility with quality equipment, punching bags, and a huge mat for rolling and kickboxing. Their kickboxing and muay thai classes are well structured and will challenge and transform you. Out of all the clubs I have trained at across Ontario, this one provides the best cardio and endurance training. They take the safety of the members very seriously and watch carefully to make sure members train respectfully with each other and are never made to feel uncomfortable in the club.

Expérience négative: Extreme lack of professional conduct by owner RD. He will make fun of you by laughing or shaking his head if you’re having a hard time with a drill. There is also no structure whatsoever to the Jiu Jitsu program. Just show up and roll. Whereas other gyms in town have will teach technique as part of a greater overall curriculum. Here, nope. My former job had me travelling all over parts of Ontario. I’ve trained in a lot of places. This one is probably my least favourite unfortunately... :(

Expérience fantastique: Amazing facility and training. Lots of options including Jiu-Jitsu and kickboxing as well as boot camps. Great equipment and instructors. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Expérience négative: I have 3 kids that go here. The owner thinks it’s ok to make fun of kids in front of the entire group. My child can not help what is wrong with him and their is no need of someone he looked up to a teacher making fun. The fact that all he cared about is the tone on a answering machine and not the fact that my child was so embarrassed he didn’t want to go back. He should be ashamed of himself. What a hot head.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing facility and training. Lots of options including Jiu-Jitsu and kickboxing as well as boot camps. Great equipment and instructors. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: My son has been doing kickbocking with Ares for 3 years now and I can't say enough good things about the club and the owners. They are amazing people, always encourage you to strive for your best and truly care about the members of the club. I have sat through everyone of my sons classes for the last 3 years and I am always so impressed with the relationship the instructor maintains with all of the kids.

Expérience fantastique: I started with Ares back in April. I have tried gyms, Zumba, personal trainers and group classes. The workouts I get at Ares fitness is nothing like I have ever had. The cardio and the weight training is amazing. I would highly recommend this club to anyone looking for a great workout, a challenge and great instructors!

Expérience fantastique: Awesome kickboxing and Jiu Jitsu training.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing classes, and amazing instructors! I would definitely recommend Ares if you want to be challenged, learn valuable techniques, develop a variety of martial arts skills, and have fun while doing it! Very welcoming group of people! Can't say enough good things about Ares! I love it!
