Reviews
GoogleGround Zero is much more than just a gym - it’s a little Place/Oasis that genuinely can change you. From the first day on, I felt welcomed into a community. The trainers are highly skilled, but also deeply invested in your progress as a person, not just as a fighter. Training with Dennis was incredible. His coaching helped me improve my overall technique a lot and gave me a whole new level of understanding. What makes this place truly special is the atmosphere. There’s respect, calm, focus and at the same time so much positive energy. You can train hard, but you also heal here. The yoga, bodywork and the overall mindful vibe balances out. I came here for training and left with much more: clarity, grounding, stronger discipline, and great connections with people from all over the world. If you’re looking for a place to grow physically, mentally and emotionally, Ground Zero is it. I’ll definitely be back. Thanks a lot
I stayed at Ground Zero for one week through one of their wellness retreats and it was an amazing experience from beginning to end. The retreat included accommodation, 2 meals and 2 drinks per day, and unlimited attendance of classes offered at an extremely affordable price. The private accommodation was perfect. It had AC, a fan, and a bathroom. Everything was clean and worked well. The food was nutritious and delicious. There’s a variety of healthy options, and not only was it outstanding, it was packed with protein. Everything we sampled from smoothie bowls to burgers were outstanding! The classes offered are of variety martial arts and Yoga. They are the perfect combination of different styles so everyone is bound to find a class they enjoy. I highly recommend taking a Bokator class at some point! Dennis’ wife is amazing! This place is magical. Dennis and Braedan are creating a new avenue of healthy lifestyle that includes fitness and community, and I truly can’t recommend this place enough. I’m already planning another stay at Ground Zero in the future!
Absolutely fantastic school. All the teacher were really good. I did an intensive 2 weeks of Kun Khmer Kickboxing, Yoga, Bokator, MMA, Warrior Movement and Ice Baths. Lots of classes for a great price. Also, it's a chill vibe in the garden with cool people and tasty healthy food. Got to know people who then invited us to cool nights, like comedy, music, etc. I'll be back next winter. Definitely recommend!
Walking into Ground zero Feels like an oasis. The quality of training on offer is fantastic! Professional, family friendly and encouraging on all fronts. Make sure you push yourself to get into the ice bath especially if you’ve never done it before (I was terrified but it ended up being a personal highlight of my week). The staff are so sweet and funny you can’t help but smile, be sure to ask them for recommendations. I’ve included some pictures so you can see for yourself how fresh, vibrant and delicious the meals are under the guidance of Chef and Co-owner Braeden. Couldn’t recommend this place enough and I hope life brings me back here sooner rather than later !! Ooo and if you have the chance to catch one of their Sundaze events (last Sunday of the month) then you are in LUCK, what a vibe 🥳
