Not long ago I'd been at the point with my health where I could not stand or walk for even short periods. I've been taking Warrior Fitness on Tues & Thurs mornings with Dwayne (as well as Urban Heroes with Dwayne and Andy on Sat) for about a month now and it is FANTASTIC! I feel SO MUCH BETTER. He is AMAZING at starting you at _whatever_ level you are at health wise, NOT making you feel bad about it, and giving you lots of ways to build from there. The first class I had a hard time even lifting the hammer and _now_ I can confidently do a full 360 swing as you can see. EVERY class I feel stronger and find myself being able to do things I couldn't do even a few days before.

Great fun for the whole family! I joined with my wife and son back in May 2018 and it's a blast. Great way to exercise and spend time with the family. Had so much fun that we made our own "bopper" swords and bought custom shields. I have recommended this to friends (especially with children) and family.

I love this place! Super welcoming and just a really great group of people.
I do all the combat type classes and they're really fun and a great workout. Also, everyone goes at their own pace and there's no judgement. Great for all ages and fitness levels.

I totally enjoyed Shieldmaiden training. The diversity of the other women left me amazed every week. The classes flew by. They were a combination of thought provoking self appraisal followed by sword and shield training. I would highly recommend this to any woman regardless of age or fitness level. Our group of ladies went from early thirties I am guessed no to early sixties. I am 61.

Loved the physical and spiritual aspects of Shieldmaiden I and II classes at WOTL. Can't wait to take classes at the new location especially the fitness inspired classes. Beth, WOTL founder, is a force and a great mentor. From guided meditations to dragon boat racing with other fierce women, WOTL has helped me open my mind to new and different ideas and also, to being strong in more ways than one.

I am seeing this grow, both as a start-up business and a community of very invested individuals. The commitment to quality and creativity in developing physical and mental health development strategies and techniques is inspiring.
