OUR SECOND GYM
Why we opened a second gym in Canton
We opened Canton in May 2025 and ran it as a soft opening for a full year before holding the grand opening on Memorial Day 2026. That sounds like a strange way to launch a gym. It isn’t. A gym is only as good as the people in the room, and when you start from nothing there is nobody in the room yet. Classes are tiny, and it takes months of momentum before a schedule feels alive. So we spent the first year figuring it out, and then we celebrated it.
Canton exists because of Easton. We had a school there, and when COVID forced a move we ended up in Raynham. We stayed in touch with as many people as we could, but for some of our Easton families Raynham was simply too far. Opening Canton put a lot of those families back on the mats with us, and that was the best part of the whole thing.
The building is deliberately simple: two matted areas, one mostly for adults and one for the kids, so nobody is training on top of anybody. Two bathrooms, and a good-sized spot where parents can sit, watch and hang out while their kids train. Parking is tight, so give yourself a few extra minutes the first time.
Kids run the same ladder as Raynham: Tiny Ninjas for ages 3 to 5, Vipers for 6 to 9 and Cobras for 10 to 13, with a new topic every month and a test at the end of it.
There is no single head coach at Canton. Joe Lauzon, Joe Pomfret, Peter Barrett and Jake Snow each run parts of the program, so the standard is the same as Raynham with more hands on deck.
Both gyms are members-only, and both start the same way: book a free intro appointment.
