No improvement needed. The ladies at the front are absolutely fantastic and my recent instructor Andy Pickerel was byfar the most knowledgeable and passionate instructor I've had thus far. I can't wait to return for my 200ton upgrade.

My whole experience at MPT was one I'll never forget. Andy is a amazing teacher. When you test and pass you earned it it was not handed to you. I saw nothing that sticks out that could be improved on.
