Im currently in my 30’s and I have been wanting to learn taekwondo for a really long time, but because of my condition, chronic fatigue syndrome, I was unable to do so but I finally decided to go for it and called a lot of schools. Some of the schools didn't have adult lessons, some of school times didn’t work for me and some of them straight up, told me that they cannot help me and that they're not the right school because of my condition. When I called Tricity Taekwondo I spoke to Master Phan, he had no idea what chronic fatigue syndrome is, but he asked me a lot of questions to learn about condition. He asked me what my condition is all about, How can they help me learn and stuff, he asked me about exertion and I explained pacing to him. It became clear to me that Tricity Taekwondo is not just about making money, but they truly want people to learn while learning about their students and the same values reflect in every instructor that works here. Master Hur is an awesome awesome instructor. I cannot say enough good things about him. He encourages me so much and understands when my energy is low and he has really helped me grow. I just earned my yellow stripe belt and hopefully I can keep learning as long as my body allows me to. I cannot thank Master Phan enough for allowing me to learn Taekwondo at his school. Edit : My review above was for Master Phan who has passed away. The current ownership/management deserves a one star.

I randomly walked into this place and nervously enquired about adult classes. Master Phan was a major reason behind me signing up for the classes and Master Hur for the 10 months I spent here. I'd highly recommend this place to everyone! Master Hur is incredibly talented and a fantastic instructor, I feel lucky to have trained under him. The entire atmosphere of the class was warm and encouraging. I remember feeling self-conscious doing - absolutely anything - kicks, warm up drills, kihap, but every time I made eye contact with any of the senior belts they were incredibly motivating and cheering me (or any newcomer) on. The entire staff is dedicated to the sport and have so much positive energy to offer. I will miss this place and only hope that Tri-City and it's instructors grow to be the best versions of themselves.

We are very lost after the passing of Master Phan. And sad that the new owner vision is now aligning with anything that Master Phan work so hard and put his heart and soul in. We as many other families are leaving due to lack of respect for our beloved Master Phan! Good luck to the new owner he have huge shoes to fill.

**Edited to say that my 5 star review was for the dojang that Master Phan ran, not the new ownership**' Master Phan and the whole Tri-city TKD team showed our daughter an incredible amount of support and encouragement during her time at this school. The level of confidence she gained from her experience with Tri-City is incredible. Had it not been for a move out of province, our daughter would have continued her martial arts journey there but thanks to TKD, the fire has been lit within her and she is continuing on that journey in our new city.

My son has been attending Taekwondo classes at this academy, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The staff is exceptional (Aimy is the best), and they have created a fantastic learning environment. Both my wife and I are impressed with the professionalism and dedication of the instructors. Our son has made significant progress and has learned valuable skills through these classes. It's not just about physical fitness but also about discipline, self-confidence, and respect. The instructors make sure that these life skills are instilled in every student.

My boys (9 and 11 y.o.) started Taekwondo at Tri-city Taekwondo school about 2,5 years ago. I am really impressed with results! They have changed a lot since then not only physically but also mentally! Great crew, Master Phan is very professional, he knows how to work with kids, I haven't seen before such a passionate teacher! He definitely loves his job and children. He has individual approach to every child and it works! I just love those last few minutes of each practice when Master Phan or his crew explain a "theme of the week". It can be "respect" or "responsibility" etc., and it's explained in such a good and easy manner so that kids would listen and understand! This school is like big loving family. I would totally recommend this school and this teacher!

Very positive and welcoming atmosphere. Love the structure of learning! Kids leave with a smile and sweaty faces every time! Great work out!

Over the past 3 years we felt supported, understood and encouraged to do more! You made my kids passionate about success! Adam and Nadine are feeling self confident, know their techniques, limits and have great spirit! Discipline is the real thing, entire team is dedicated, energetic and supportive. I've already recommended Tri-City Taekwondo to many friends and will continue to do, keep up the good work! #discpline #/teamwork #self_confidence

Here is very nice and teacher are good. My daughter really likes Taekwondo. My daughter is shy, but after learning Taekwondo, she gained confidence and really enjoyed working out. The teachers are kind and teach well. She is currently a yellow belt, but she hopes to get to a black belt as well.

You will never get bored and its a great work out that ALSO teaches you how to protect yourself if necessary. 10/10

Took the time to research TKD schools in our area for our daughter. Had a consultation with Master Phan at his studio and I was rather impressed so signed up. Have been with Tri-City since 2013 and no regrets. Extremely professional, excellent staff and they know how to work with KIDS (very important) as well as adults. They are truly a nice bunch!!!

My daughter has been at Tri-City Taekwondo for a couple years now and she LOVES it! The look a pride in her eyes when she earns her next belt, when she breaks a board, or when she's playing games and having fun with her friends make it all worth it. The Summer and Spring Camps are SOOO much fun, not to mention the Movie Nights once a month! Such a great community to be involved with. Very glad to be a part of the TricityTKD Family!

Awesome place, great team, and a wonderful program with the kids. Disciplined training with fun and rewarding life lessons.

Great opportunity to leave your child in such a wonderful space. Staffs are friendly and knowledgable. As well as, their programs are extremely focused on the students physical and emotional well-being.

I've known Master Phan for a number of years and am continually impressed by his teaching style. He is always extremely passionate about teaching his students and making sure that everyone is having fun while they are learning. I love the energy he brings to each and every student. Keep it up sir.

Great instructors and Master Phan has truly inspired my boy to be his best. Good group of kids and all the parents are very supportive of each other! 👍

Master phan and his team is awesome.. great with the kids and just what I been looking for. practices great vaulted at the same time a fun environment, my boy loves it.

Great place for training! Master Huy and his staff are very professional making the students feel comfortable and earn a sweat!

A great, welcoming dojang to be a part of, regardless of their age or level!

Kids tried classes at a few nearby martial arts studios and this was by far the best one. A year later, both still enjoy coming twice a week for their taekwondo training. Fantastic teachers.

it's been more than two years my daughter in the class and we love all the instructors and master Phan!

Master Phan is an incredible instructor. When we signed my son up at Tricity Taekwondo 2 years ago, we had checked out other Taekwondo schools first. Even when my son had the option of training with friends from school, he chose Tricity because he had a connection with Master Phan. I was hesitant signing him up there because my son is shy, lacked confidence, and self control. I didn't know how he'd do without anyone he knew there. But it paid off. He loves it, has improved so much, made some friends, and he is doing more than I thought he ever could! Thank you, Master Phan for opening an excellent school.

Tri-City TKD is a great martial arts school,all the instructors are great and Master Huy Phan is a very good teacher,now I been in TKD for 3 or 4 years and TKD has taught me a lot of things,most those things came from Master Phan.In some point in my life I was in hell and I had some thoughts of committed suicide but I look at my belts and I told myself I want that black belt,at that time I was green or orange belt,now i'm black strip and I have my test for back belt on june,I'm soo proud of myself for not quitting TKD,I almost did quit

A very welcoming and friendly dojang with masters and instructors who are skilled and passionate at what they do! It's a great place to develop physically, mentally and spiritually. Would definitely recommend coming in for a trial class!

Great environment to train in. There is always a welcoming face to greet you at the door!

Love the structure of learning. Master Phan make it fun for the kids to learn so the kids doesn't feel pressure and they enjoy themself while learning.

My kids love Tricity, Master Phan,all Masters, Instructors and staffs are super awesome people, very helpful,and fun. my daughter has been joining since grade 2, she is now grade 8, and got black belt, which made her more confidence, and always happy to go to classes. Good job Mr Phan👍👍👍

I have trained here for six years and I have enjoyed all the training. I am glad to have chosen this school rather than others. I recommend

We love everyone here. Master Phan is such a wonderful instructor. The respect and confidence taught here are amazing. Unfortunately we had to move back to the USA. We have not found any other Taekwondo studio like this one.

Great place for kids taekwondo with great instructors, however classes can get crowded due to smaller floor plan.

i give them 5 star because they're very professional, nice and care about children more than any things else. Especially Mr. Milad is very responsible and instructor Matthew is very polite.

I am absolutely happy that I chose Master Phan's Tri-City Taekwondo for my 5-year-old son's after school activity! All instructors are so professional, helpful, supportive, and considerate to each student. My son LOVES going there twice a week. I would say that my son has been improving focus and control over his strong emotional reaction such as anger. Would recommend this wonderful dojang to any parents and children!

I've witnessed a remarkable transformation during the shift from Tri-City to Endurance. The school has become notably more organized, aesthetically pleasing, and well-equipped, among other positive changes. Special kudos to the new payment system, which brings a modern and secure touch to our experience. While I do miss my daughter's former instructor from Tri-City, Master Hur, whose boundless energy was truly exceptional, I sense that many others share the same sentiment. Nevertheless, my daughter continues to thrive under the guidance of the new instructors. Recently, she achieved another belt, and this achievement has ignited her motivation to forge ahead. I'd like to extend my gratitude to Master Milad for orchestrating the belt ceremony with enthusiasm and a fantastic attitude. As a parent, I find myself content with Endurance. I hold high expectations for ongoing improvements and the arrival of even more exceptional instructors. Managing a school takeover is no small feat, and Endurance has truly excelled in this regard!

I first started coming to Rep1 back in 2015 and I have to say, I love this place. I did end up leaving a while back because I had a baby and moved out of the area. In the end though I decided to return because looking back, I was probably in the best shape of my life when I was working out with the trainers here, plus I always enjoyed my workouts. What really sets this place apart for me though is that it has a real family vibe going on and you are always made to feel welcome. Highly recommended :)

One of the best investments parents can make. Master Phan and his great team have made a very healthy and positive culture to develop kids physically and mentally.

This place is amazing! The Masters and instructors take time with each child. I can see my grandson advance weekly. The confidence he has gained is astounding. So glad he is part of the Tri-city crew! It takes a village.

Best place to train my clients. Amazing atmosphere and people here.

Love this place. best in town!!! The atmosphere and positive attitude give me a big step up to deal with my week. The trainers and staff are very friendly and make everyone feel super welcome. They helped me overcome some nagging mobility issues after a major surgery,.... couldn't have done it without you guys/gals. Thanks!!

Rep1 always has such great energy, even at 6 am! An amazing team of Personal Trainers who challenge me with each and every workout. 5 ⭐️ Rating!

I've been going for nearly four years. Without any doubt, it's a superb facility and experience. The greeting is always warm and friendly - good job, Claire and Sarah! I've had a number of trainers over the years, but Dave M. is absolutely the best! Committed, caring, knowledgeable and inspirational. A special shout out to Gui for his excellent Circuit Class, the best way to start your weekend, both entertaining and challenging. And kudos to everyone for the work you do to combat breast cancer - what a great group of people! Graham Allen

This place is the best.

Highly recommend! Master Phan has assembled a stellar team of Masters and Instructors to lead the students through not only physical but also emotional development. Our daughter started with their summer camp 2 years ago and now happily attends classes bi-weekly. Very caring, specific and individual attention given to each student by name to help them gain proficiency in taekwondo and also build their confidence and great values. We love the theme of the month!

This school came highly recommended by the parents at my son's school. My son was very shy and was getting teased and bullied. Broke my heart. He was scared when he went to the intro class, but Master Phan connected with him and had him doing warm ups. By the end of the into, my son was high-fiving Master Phan and had such a huge smile on his face. I cannot say enough great things about this school. The staff are friendly and Master Phan and his team of Instructors have a way of connecting with the kids. What I love most is they have a theme of the month and they also teach kids about positive values, not just taekwondo. I noticed a change in my son after around 4 weeks. I didn't think I would notice a change so quickly, but he was becoming more confident and his teacher told me that he seemed more social would volunteer in class. I also noticed he was less hyper, he was able to focus better. It has now been 7 months and I cannot believe he was the same shy little boy who got teased in school. He even said "momma, I can show you how to handle bullies" My heart is is happy!

My kids are really happy and looking forward for the class everytime . Instructors are very nice, friendly and kind. I see the difference since they join the taekwondo and grateful for this.

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME

Our entire family has been training at Rep1 for 3 years and I have lost 130 lbs! First class amenities, clean and large space unlike other gyms in the city. Professional, extremely friendly staff from Sarah in the front to Eyvon in the back office. The owners, Chad, Mike and Scott, have been trainers for over 20 years and know the industry extremely well. My trainer Gui has guided and encouraged me to achieve fitness goals I thought were impossible. He also runs a drop in group circuit class Saturday mornings that's challenging but fun and open to everyone. I also train with Jamiel, who's enthusiasm and dedication to fitness is contagious both to clients and staff!! Rep 1 is a second home for our family.

I have been training at Rep1 for 6 years now and whether I am working through an injury or working to reach my fitness goals, my trainer always customizes my workouts accordingly. The facility is great and the staff is super friendly!

The trainers at Rep1 actually make it fun to train. My wife and I are in our early 70's and we even get to shoot hoops with our trainer, Chad! Clean, modern and professional place to work out.

I love this gym. I've been training here for six years. They are the best at bringing out your abilities and building on them, whatever level you are at - even a total beginner like I was.

Best gym in the city. All the trainers are top-notch! All levels of fitness get an amazing work out.

Easy to access, friendly environment. Great training. I have been enjoying my experience art Rep 1.

A spacious gym with tons of different equipment and very professional trainers. Not open for drop-ins!

Great private gym. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Variety of trainers to work with

This martial arts place is awesome!!! We are very happy with what Master Phan and the other masters teach here!!My kids have been going here for almost a year now and they love it!! I have seen so much growth in them! They also offer cardio kickboxing which I fell in love with!! Master Nigel is such a knowledgeable and patient instructor.His classes are always intense and motivating!

My son has been training here since this summer. It was the first time Taekwondo but he loved to learn with Master Phan. There was the trial day so we did and decided to take a course right away. That was so well organized. I highly recommend here!

After delaying over a year due to the covid-19 pandemic, my son started taking lessons last month. He really enjoys going to Taekwondo and wants to work hard. The staff are friendly and you can feel that the Master really cares about the children.

Great personal trainers, accommodate my needs, good variety of equipment, free parking!

Master Phan and his team treat everyone as family. We couldn't ask for better leadership from all the instructors.

We have been going to Tri-City for almost 2 years now and it has been nothing but fabulous. It is a great supportive and fun environment for kids, they learn confidence and focus that translates into all aspects of life. The leadership team embodies the Dojang's values and really help the younger students to learn and improve their skills. We have done pro-D day camps and summer camps over the years and my son can't rave enough about them! During these unprecedented Covid times we have been very impressed by Tri-City's ability to adapt and create a safe, clean environment for practice. Definitely recommend Tri-City

Our daughter has been going to Tri City TKD for several years, since the start of grade 1. We originally enrolled her to help with her focus and that has shown great improvement over the past few years! She loves going, is super excited to learn new things and to earn stripes on her belt. We have also participated in their spring break and summer break camps which have been really fun for the kids! Master Phan and his team are excellent with kids, and I highly recommend Tri City TKD!

Master Phan is a truly dedicated teacher, going above and beyond to support his students. My son has thrived under the guidance of Master Phan and his team. We've been so pleased to see his developing passion for taekwondo and to witness its benefits -- both physical and mental. Between the in-person and Zoom classes, he is thrilled to be able to do 4 classes per week! We look forward to many more years of learning at this dojang.

Training at Tri-City Taekwondo has been a life changing experience for our daughter. We enrolled her initially as a way to develop her physical fitness while learning a valuable skill, but with the enlightened leadership of Master Phan and all the other instructors she has blossomed into a very competent and confident young leader. The lessons learned go well beyond Taekwondo into life skills such as responsibility, respect, confidence, accountability...we will always appreciate the affect Tri-City Taekwondo has had on our daughter.

This family had helped me find my self helped me get back on da right path. I strive to be better and smarter with every day decisions now and that's not including staying active strong and confident in myself. After losing football contracts I was down for years and something pointed me in this direction and I can say that I will never go back on this choice. With tri-city taekwondo I feel compleat again 🙏🏽

Great group of like minded people working together to achieve their goals in Taekwondo. Highly recommended if you are in the Tri-city area!🤘🔥

Master Phan and his team are highly skilled at teaching and they always strive to make lessons fun for all. It is always inspiring to watch him and his staff instruct and interact with the students. I highly recommend Tri-City Taekwondo!

Thank-you for the smooth transition after the passing of our dear friend and Master, Huy. My brother has learned so much from the studio and is thankful that it will not be closed down. :) I appreciate you for staying strong and continuing Master Huy’s legacy !

I'm very happy to attend adult lessons at Tri-City. •Every class varies a little from all the previous ones, so you learn something new every class and it makes it fun! •Masters pay a lot of attention to every student, even though it's a group class, they manage to spend enough time with each student. •I'm very happy that I found Tri-City, it's different in so many great ways from other marital art places.

If you are looking for an amazing team of instructors that create a safe learning environment where kids are inspired and motivated, I would highly recommend Tri-City Taekwondo. Master Phan is absolutely amazing and so are all the instructors and leaders there. My kids have so much fun there and would probably train everyday if they could =)

Tri City Taekwondo is a friendly, hardworking environment. It's always clean and sanitary, which makes the place very comforting. Tricity helped me boost my confidence, and learn techniques that will come extremely useful later in life. I highly recommend training here, because you will learn many skills in various topics.

Our boys have loved going here! It's very convenient, with a flexible schedule and lots of training options. The instruction is very clear and engaging, and our boys are excited to go each time. The sessions have the perfect mix of instruction and games, just enough to keep the kids involved while still making it fun. We certainly would recommend Tri-City Taekwondo to anyone!

I love this gym. The trainers are great, they push you to achieve your goals. It is a fun environment. Some of the best trainers I have had!

Jes is an amazing massage therapist! She has been treating me and my daughter for over 5 years and helped us through various athletic injuries and chronic pain issues. She pinpoints the problem areas and provides lasting benefit every visit. I highly recommend her - she is very skilled, knowledgeable, and truly a wonderful person.

Jes is simply amazing! She is intuitive at knowing what hurts, why and how to fix it. Some of my finest hours are spent with her each month. She is funny, witty, inspiring and professional...

I’ve seen Jes for massage countless times and she’s the best! As a fitness professional and manual therapist myself it’s great to have someone who’s so knowledgeable of training and athletic movements. Great results every time, and a great experience. If you’re experiencing pain, or just need a massage this is the RMT I trust the most!

I trained at Rep1 for over 2 years and during that time I was introduced to Jess, their RMT and that introduction changed my life. It sounds crazy but I had been pushing through tension headaches from computer work for almost a year, accepting that it was chronic. I had seen RMTs before with some, but not significant relief. Jess was different. She is the best RMT I have ever worked with. From the first session I was headache free...I couldn’t believe it and continued to see her as preventative/maintenance. While she was away recently I couldn’t bring myself to see anyone else and could not contain my excitement when Rep1 told me she was back. I thought about why...and it’s because she is someone who improves my quality of life. I’m a young mom running a very busy company and Jess makes my life easier and more enjoyable. 5 stars isn’t enough...

As a former hp athlete Jes provides world-class deep tissue massage, all while caring for your overall health and well-being. I totally recommend Jes for RMT and the trainers at Rep1 are pretty awesome too! Always look forward to a session here.

Jes is a great RMT who has really helped me stay away from getting injured. She is very knowledgeable and gives great stretches and advice to stay healthy.

The long awaited return of Jes Von Henzke, RMT extraordinaire, best massage therapist in town.

Jess is the best massage therapist on the planet

All of the 5-star reviews here are legit. Master Phan and his team offer a great blend of old school discipline and high expectations with an atmosphere of positivity, can-do attitude, and fun. The progression from white to red belt so far has done wonders for my son's sense of self-confidence and accomplishment, and being able to refer back to the challenges he has overcome has been a valuable addition to my parenting toolkit. I myself have considered joining the sessions every now and then as well.

My husband and I have been going to Rep1 twice a week for 5 years. We love our workouts (they're never the same), our trainers (Dave Moloney + Cameron Bentley), the owners (Mike, Chad and Scott are pros all around), the front desk staff (Sarah + Nadine), the other trainers (friendly and supportive), and the facilities (clean, modern, spacious). It all adds up to a great environment for getting fit and having fun. Rep1 really prioritizes service, quality and wellbeing. We're considered older clients, and our trainers (past and present) have always listened to our bodies and our fitness goals. Compatibility and trust are very important because trainers see us at our best and at our worst. We can't say enough good things about Rep1 -- except that without their expertise and support, my husband and I wouldn't have been able to complete our first-ever half marathon this year. Thanks for being our ally and champion, Rep1!

The facility is great! Rep1 is run by 3 amazing trainers that are owners so they really know what the clients and other trainers want/ need

Personal, professional and qualified trainers that provide a great place and atmosphere to workout in. Rep 1 trainers are some of the best in the city.

Best gym in the city!! Super fun, relaxed atmosphere with equally amazing staff! Highly recommended.

Fantastic, friendly place with great trainers.

This is a beautiful gym, friendly staff, very flexible, easy parking, always clean, and really accommodating. I've been going here for years. I wish I could pay someone to work out for me, but since I have to do it myself, at least Dave makes it fun and changes things up so much that I'm never bored. More importantly, all the trainers here really know their craft and value my health and fitness goals and limitations.

Best on the west side. Great facility, great trainers. Dave Moloney knows how to get the best out of you and is very attentive to proper technique and form.

i have been training with Mike for 21 years. I look forward to going every time. He always knows exactly what I need in each session. He has helped rehab me from a car accident and is always very careful if I have an injury. He motivates and challenges me and I've never been so fit in my life. Mike is the best trainer in the city. I am very grateful to be able to train with him.

Rep 1 facility and staff are beyond amazing! No matter what the fitness goal is, Rep 1 team is there to help you achieve it!

I have been to Rep1 many times and find the facility bright and clean. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, willing to go that extra mile. An added plus is available parking.

Lori Billson I've been training with these Gents for 20 years...need I say more?! Integrity, talent and genuinely fine human beings. I can't imagine my world without Rep1.

I think Rep 1 is the best gym on the westside! Outside of the amazing and knowledgeable trainers who support you with your health and fitness goals the kits location is great with plenty of free parking so you can slide right into your workout.

Well equipped and large space in Kits. Great group of instructors - personable and happy!! If you want to give ‘er, without the snooty and pretense, this is the place for you.

I have been working out with a trainer at Rep1 for the last 3 months. It has been a great experience. She has completely customized the workout for the results I am looking to achieve. The staff is super friendly. Definitely worth the investment! Go for it!

Love training at Rep 1. It’s a positive, high energy environment. Rep 1 has great facilities and it’s easy for me to get ready for work after my morning workout!

Professional, friendly, clean. A selection of excellent trainers, each with a different set of experiences and skills to offer. The trainers and the clients stick around for years. I think that says a lot.

Jes is both an incredible human and an extremely talented massage therapist. She goes above and beyond for her clients, as she genuinely cares about their health and well-being. She is deeply attune to my needs and goes to great lengths to help me heal. She is such a professional, and because of her strong understanding of human anatomy she is able to not only make me feel better during/ after my massage, but also give me stretches and exercises so I can be proactive about my recovery. If you're looking for an awesome massage, look no further!

*edit - the 5-star review below reflects my thoughts for this school when it was Tricity Taekwondo run by Master Phan. I cannot stand by this rating with the new ownership, and we stopped training here *** TriCIty Taekwondo has a strong community with the students, and Master Phan has assembled a great group of leaders. Signed up my 5 year old for a trial to see if she would like it, and she's still there 4 years later. Now both of our kids train here! They have both gained a lot of self confidence, sense of discipline and perseverance over the last few years. The monthly themes are great for young minds learning about the world, and when Master Phan gives his pep talks, I think even the parents are inspired. The students get into a variety of activities each class and they have fun while doing it.
