GrindHouse Fitness LLC

I began training with Zay when he was a one-on-one trainer at Anytime Fitness. During my fitness journey with Zay he has been encouraging, professional, and focused on getting me to my fitness goals. As a result, I've been able to lose over 15 pounds! What I appreciate about Zay is that he holds me accountable. GrindHouse is definitely a no excuses gym and the precedent is set early. I am hard headed with working out at times lol and need someone to push me to reach my goals. Overall, if you are looking for a community driven gym with challenging classes, this is the gym for you!

I saw the personal attack on Acacia and had to speak up based on my personal experience. To everyone thats thinking about joining this gym or is currently a member, I hope you will always stay on the good side of Zay (the owner) or always have a plan B gym in mind. Telling clients that their contract is being terminated when they showed up to class with no prior signs or warnings or communication is simply unprofessional.

Zay is the best trainer I've ever had. My starting weight at his gym was 520 lbs and I have already dropped 45 lbs in 3 weeks. He is not only concerned with the workouts, but he gives you all the proper tools to set you up for long term success. If you're looking for a trainer that is never on his phone during workouts, cares about you, and is invested in your health then sign up!!!

Where to even begin.. I have attended the gym since it opened, I have been there since day one, even promoting and encouraging family and friends to attend. The gym owner and primary trainer (Zay Dickens) claims to provide a private and intimate gym experience tailored towards elite athletes. However, once you get past the smoke and mirrors it is clear that it is an extremely toxic environment and there is a lack of customer service and professionalism. I attended the 8am class this week and arrived on time and I was pulled aside by the owner to speak on a timeliness in the past. The conversation took a drastic turn when he began attacking my character, telling me I have never worked hard for anything, I have terrible work ethic, coming for my friends and family, and boasting about how it is his gym and hell do as he pleases. I sat there silently waiting for him to finish and then once I opened my mouth to try to form a response he demanded I leave the gym, walked into an ongoing class, grabbed my things as he led me out the door shutting and locking it in my face. I felt completely disrespected and mostly I was incredibly hurt by what happened. His reaction was unwarranted, I was respectful, I was patient, I couldnt comprehend why I was being thrown out the gym like I was causing a scene or being disruptive. A man I thought of highly was actually an egotistical maniac who is verbally abusive towards women, such as myself. Once I spoke up to other members I discovered it was not an isolated incident and Zay has a history of disrespect. Please save yourself the money and humiliation. And Zay? Since you silenced me and didnt let me speak with you unfortunately this is the only way to be heard.
