Reviews of Ares Kickboxing & Fitness (Driving School)

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... :(

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
