The facilities are great, the people are great , but the boxing classes are very uninteresting and come off as lazy and uninspired. Class is one hour. These classes start with 15 minutes of running and end with 10 minutes of running. The rest of the time is spent hitting the bag without any form correction or coach input , or you will hit the bag and then maybe you may get the chance to practice drills for 10 minutes. With previous coaching, yes you would do cardio for some conditioning, but most of the time was spent learning skills via drills or hitting the bag with interactive coaches who make sure your form is correct . Boxing requires conditioning, but paying to run half of the time instead of developing skills feels a little bit uninspiring and like you develop very slowly.

Amazing free self defense class. Instructor cares about teaching skills and made it easy to follow for my daughter and I. The gym itself felt opened and comfortable. Everyone there was friendly. It was about 2 hours and included hands on practice, information, demonstrations, and alot of time for questions and scenario review.

SERIOUS CONCERNS REGARDING EDGE FITNESS BUSINESS PRACTICES UNAUTHORIZED USE OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION Anyone who has provided financial information to EDGE Fitness should exercise caution. As a former member who terminated my membership in 2024—after the gym moved to a less desirable location in an abandoned shopping center—I was shocked to discover that, in January 2026, EDGE Fitness made an unauthorized withdrawal from my bank account using previously provided banking information. RETENTION AND USE OF PERSONAL BANKING DATA This incident raises significant questions about EDGE Fitness's handling of former members' personal banking information. Why does EDGE Fitness retain such sensitive data after memberships have ended, and especially more than a year after termination? Furthermore, it is concerning that these accounts remain linked to their billing system. There have been claims that this withdrawal was a one-time action by the owners to help with expenses, but such behavior is deeply troubling. I am unsure how many other former members have been affected by this unauthorized electronic withdrawal, so I strongly recommend monitoring your financial transactions closely for any unexpected charges. RESPONSE FROM EDGE FITNESS OWNERSHIP Upon discovering the charge, I immediately notified EDGE Fitness. Both Josh and Steve Tufte confirmed that they had withdrawn and were in possession of the funds. Initially, they promised to return the money without delay. However, they later informed me via email that they would not return the funds to me or my financial institution. Instead, they advised me to file a fraud report if I wished to resolve the issue. Such conduct raises serious concerns about their professionalism and commitment to ethical business practices. It is alarming to think that someone could use your banking information without your authorization, admit to the act, promise to return your money, and then make the process unnecessarily difficult for you to recover your assets. WARNING TO POTENTIAL AND CURRENT MEMBERS Anyone considering joining EDGE Fitness should be aware that their personal financial information may be retained and potentially used in the future without their consent. In such cases, it seems the responsibility to recover your money falls entirely on you. This entire episode reflects poorly on the business and its owners. If this was truly a mistake, a reputable business owner would immediately return the funds. Unfortunately, the handling of this situation has been classless, unprofessional, and appears desperate on their part. Following their suggestion, I am now pursuing other legal avenues for resolution. If any of you have experienced similar treatment by this establishment, I encourage you to hold them accountable. Unless held responsible, people of this nature will likely continue such behavior. All the best!

Seth, here is the last email we sent you as a reminder of what actually happened and to give everyone else at least part of the actual conversation. “This email constitutes our final response on this matter. Your most recent message continues to misstate facts, misapply legal terminology, and draw conclusions that are unsupported by law or by the record. We are correcting those points one final time below. First, the charge at issue was the result of an administrative system error, not fraud. Fraud requires intent, deception, and knowing misappropriation. An inadvertent charge that is identified, acknowledged, and addressed through established banking and compliance procedures does not meet that definition—regardless of how many times the word is repeated or referenced to unnamed “counsel.” Second, at no point did we “admit” to taking funds unlawfully, nor have we admitted to retaining funds improperly. What was stated—clearly and consistently—is that a billing error occurred and that resolution must proceed in accordance with banking rules once you represented that the transaction was reported as fraud. That position is not defiance; it is compliance. Third, your assertion that we are “in possession” of funds while refusing to return them misrepresents how electronic payments and disputes function. Once a transaction is reported as fraud, the funds are subject to the bank’s dispute process, including provisional credit, chargeback review, and recovery mechanisms. Issuing a parallel merchant refund under those circumstances is expressly discouraged and can result in duplicate reimbursement. This is not “generic guidance”; it is standard financial controls. Fourth, your claims regarding improper retention of personal information are incorrect. Client records for current and former customers are stored in a secure, encrypted client management system consistent with industry standards. This does not involve manual retention, employee misuse, or unrestricted access, nor does it constitute improper handling of data. Suggesting otherwise is speculative and inaccurate. Fifth, while you accuse us of unprofessionalism, your communications have repeatedly included ultimatums, threats of escalation, and allegations of criminal conduct. Despite that, our responses have remained factual, restrained, and professional. We will not engage further with inflammatory rhetoric or pressure tactics. To restate our position clearly and finally: You stated that the charge was reported as fraud and that your card was closed. Once fraud is reported, the dispute is governed by the bank. We will not issue a refund absent written confirmation from your bank that: No provisional or final credit has been issued, and The account is active and eligible to receive a merchant refund Until such documentation is provided, this matter must proceed through your financial institution. You reference “escalation” and potential reporting. That is your prerogative. We are confident in our compliance, documentation, and handling of this matter and will respond through the appropriate channels if contacted by any third party. No further correspondence will be provided unless and until the documentation described above is received. Any additional messages repeating accusations or demands will be noted but not answered. Josh Tufte Owner Edge Fitness LLC“
