Reviews of The Arena (Gym)

Jake O'Connell

The Arena is by far the worst organization to play travel ball through. They charge a huge fee and make a lot of promises that they can't keep. The coaches specifically of the 12u team are all a joke along with the baseball director. We where promised professional training and coaching just to find out that the coaches have no real coaching experience at all the most they have is coaching little league. The decisions that they made are done on a whim and literally make no sense at all. They already have their favorites picked before ever giving other players on the team a fair chance. For example the 12u team has 4 coaches all of which have kids on the team. Those kids because they are the coaches sons are all starting players and 9 times out of 10 will not sit on the bench regardless of how many errors they make. We tried on many different occasions to speak with the coaching staff just for them to throw a tantrum (literally like a 5yr old), yell, and throw insults at me about my son. Do yourself a favor and take your player somewhere else as you will quickly regret spending money on this organization. They completely crushed my sons spirits and his love for baseball, because no matter what he did it was never enough for the coaches. He did everything that they asked of him and much more. They gave him one shot behind the plate during the game. He did more than prove his self by picking off runners and only allowing 1 pass ball. With the starting catcher never picking off any runners, and have almost 20 past balls with a total of 6-7 games played. Hey, but he's one of the coaches kids so it makes it ok. Out of 8 tournament games played they have only won one game. That doesn't even count the scrimmages that they played against 10 and 11u teams from around town which they lost those as well. When I pay for my son to have professional coaching that's what I expect to receive.

Amazing and intense. Large training area with certified trainers who know what they are doing.

Elise Freezer

It is an amazing place, and the staff are great!

Joshua Edwards

Great place! I went here for a jujitsu competition and it was a blast. The Arena is a multi-purpose workout area with a gym and batting cages. There was plenty of space for the competition, and it was super well run.

Awesome facility!

I decided a month ago that I needed to lose a little weight and tone up. My self esteem was low as i tried on clothes that fitted me 8 months ago. Friends i worked with recommended me to Ben. So Ben I just wanted to tell you how truly amazing you are and how much you have changed my life. I have lost 8.5lbs in the 3 and a 1/2 weeks you trained me. I owe you everything Ben, thank you for getting my confidence back. Deb.

They tell you your kid will be a part of a summer club team and collect a hefty fee for their "services". Their team was already selected before you enrolled. They crush the self confidence of very talented players that weren't part of their plan. Watched three families pull their boys because they got zero play time. Don't waste your time or money on these liars and thieves. Convenient no refund policy for being mislead from the beginning.

Softball Camp was terrible a complete waste of money. I talk to the owner about it, and his response was "it was our first camp so next year should be better"

Jeremiah is amazing working with teenagers. My daughter loved his personality and he was quickly able to adjust workouts to meet her needs. She did over a dozen sessions with him and he was on time, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. My daughter learned a lot and was challenged.

Excellent facility!! As a Sports Medicine teacher, I have brought my classes in to learn about strength and conditioning from their highly certified coaches. Eric, LC, and Tyler have all been able to explain their profession and how it applies to sports medicine to my students. They were able to answer a wide variety of questions asked. My son has been playing baseball and attending performance training for 18 months. He almost always asks to go in for extra workouts when available. My son has grown in confidence, as a player, an athlete, and in character. My daughter has been swimming competitively for 18 months and on her non swim nights, breaks and all summer, she works out with Ben and Tyler in performance training. She sees the growth and loves her workout time. I have seen her grow in confidence and competitiveness. I attended adult functional training all last summer and increased my flexibility, decreased my weight and increased my strength. Being that we, as a family have utilized many aspects The Arena offers, I feel that we have had a great experience and gotten a great return for our money. I have recommended The Arena to several of my High School students and coaches. Any time I have had questions, there has always been someone available to assist me. I have had multiple High School students who have gone to The Arena to continue their training and play as well.

Good place to practice sports indoors but pretty expensive to rent

Our son has played baseball with the Arena for two seasons now; first in 11U and now on the 12U team. We made the move from Little League as our son loves the game and playing with the Arena allows him longer seasons and more games played. We have been impressed with the overall philosophy of the Arena in training up young men of character, overall athletes and finally baseball players. The coaches are committed to helping these young men improve their game and work hard on different drills and consistent practice. There is no guarantee of playing time, however the coaches give the boys ample opportunities to play and to gain time and experience on the field, while still putting the best players on the field to give the team the best chances of winning. We highly recommend the Arena for anyone who is looking to take the next step into travel baseball at a reasonable price point with excellent coaching.

My son is having a good time at a US Baseball Academy camp held here and coached by the Air Academy HS baseball coaches and team.

Randy Poll

I have been training here for almost 2 years now. I participate in the over 50 baseball league. I work in the batting cage 2-3 days per week under the unlimited hitting program. It is an amazing facility and I wish that I had a place like this to train in when I was in junior high and at Doherty High School. The staff is always courteous and helpful. If you are a serious athlete, I can't image a better place to perfect your skills.

Maria Blide

I agree 100% with Rick Thomas. My son was part of the same team. They charged a huge fee. And then your child doesn't play. We we're told equal playing time, improved skills, several practices. Everything they said never happened. This is a scam. I have reported this organization to the BBB.

Wade Sanderson

Complete waste of time and money. The coaches are a joke and the staff isn't any better. We were told by the director that skills would improved and playing time would be equal for all players... he is a complete liar. We went to Denver to have our kid bat one time. It was a two inning game that lasted two hours... plenty of time to cycle all players. This team already had their favorites picked. DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A TEAM THAT IS DIRECTED AND COACHED BY A BUNCH OF IDIOTS!!!

Like many other parents, my family and I had a bad experience with the staff, decision making, resolution process. My son fell through the cracks there. His 13 and they put him on an 8-11 team. (The funny thing is, he’s not a bad ball player) The staff basically gave us no option as the teams were locked. Anyway....my son tried it for two games and said he felt “underwhelmed” and “ not fun”. So basically, the Arena’s experiment failed. Then of course they would not refund our money. Now my sone is in CBA and loves it. I can think of a lot of bad words to throw at the Arena...without a doubt. Give your money to charity rather than these thieves.
