    I've been to many BJJ gyms and Balance is a standout. From the clean facilities to the friendly staff and students, Balance MMA is the perfect spot to start your journey learning a martial art or continue advancing your skill. From day one, Professor Adrian has been a knowledgeable and kind mentor; always taking the time to answer students' questions during and after classes. His instruction is detailed but also accessible to all levels. He does a great job creating an environment that fosters growth while preserving the fun aspect of learning the sport. Highly recommend to everyone!

    I think every BJJ school out there every reviewer seems to love and probably for their own good reasons. I came from another school and sampled some other schools in the area. I have been here for about a year so here is what I think stands out: First off we have two knowledgeable coaches from renowned schools and more than a decade of experience combined. Their instruction is detailed. As much as we learn step-by-step techniques we also learn principles; the "why?" we do things which gives us an understanding that helps what we learn stick. The critiques I receive are relevant to me. I'm one of the smaller guys in the school. The coaches give me personal opinions of what might work better against larger opponents. It's really improved my game because not all techniques work against every body type and against all weight classes especially for us short kings out there. This one was the biggest take aways for me. The coaches stop and take time to analyze your techniques. Whether or not your drilling or live sparring with another student, the coaches are there watching to see what you can improve. These adjustments were HUGE to me! It was these pieces of the puzzle that put the whole picture together. As small as they may have seemed or outright detrimental, they were like the joints I needed to make those connections to why something wasn't working and improved my game leaps and bounds. It was like a shortcut because it saved me from learning things the hard way. Sometimes I just didn't understand that what I was doing was wrong. They do this for everyone! Its really great thing to see a school consistently give you this kind of attention and feedback. There's so much more to love; huge space, friendly atmosphere, good vibes, clean mats, high quality mats, hidden gem, etc... You can like your school or can love your school. I think its obvious how I feel by reading my review. I hope this helps you decide. I dare you to try find a better one in the area.

    My kids just started (2 weeks in) and they love it. Coaches are patient and knowledgeable. Classes are a manageable size and kids are kept engaged the entire time.

I've been struggling with my short term memory and ability to move so this was a great way to exercise my mind and body. Jody circulates around the room but is able to give more attention to anyone that needs it. Like me! Haha. During the time I was there, I did a mix of circuit training and cardio kickboxing. What's great to know is that you'll find support there.

    I started going to Kaizen over a month ago a few times per week. I came across the studio when I…read morewas researching local fitness classes in Monrovia. I was happy to see that Kaizen offers a really great deal for a two-week trial package that includes unlimited cardio kickboxing and TRX! This was perfect for me to try out classes to get a feel of things before making a longer commitment. The regular monthly fee is very reasonable too! The fact that the monthly fee covers unlimited kickboxing and TRX motivates me to make the most of it and go routinely. I'm a 30 something year old, and it's nice to see that both kickboxing and TRX at Kaizen suit people of all ages and backgrounds. Signing up for classes that fit my work schedule is easy and flexible through the app. Kickboxing is an excellent workout. It really gets the heart rate up and the sweat going. What pleasantly surprised me was trying TRX for the first time because I had zero familiarity with it. TRX is easy for me to follow because of the pacing. It really is a full body workout. I find TRX more doable than pilates, which I personally find too difficult. TRX is fun using straps as a workout tool, also making it pretty unique. Both kickboxing and TRX are 45-minute classes, and it feels like the perfect amount of time. Classes aren't long, and that allows me to have the energy to go multiple times per week. The location is very convenient for me and there's plenty of parking. Jody, the instructor for both kickboxing and TRX, is an inspiration because she teaches so many classes and is a great instructor/model! She's friendly, patient, personable, and approachable. She helps you get the techniques and correct postures for moves, so she'll also keep you accountable! Also, I've found that the people who attend classes are very friendly and cool. There's zero judgement nor egos from what I observe! In summary, Kaizen is great! You get to enjoy classes and enjoy seeing/feeling yourself get more fit and healthy! Give it a try if you're curious. You've got nothing to lose, except fat and calories!

Her management style really shows in the culture of the gym. She's empathetic, supportive, and genuinely cares about everyone who walks in, but she also knows how to push you when you need it. You always feel seen and motivated, not judged. Coach Mark is extremely knowledgeable and brings a different kind of support. He's calm, solid, and always there when you need guidance or reassurance. You can tell he really knows his stuff and wants you to succeed. Coach Ryan and Coach Aaron are awesome at helping you build new skill sets and pushing you toward your maximum potential. They're great at breaking things down, helping you improve technique, and showing you ways to level up that you didn't even realize were possible. I went to a regular gym for about 15 years and never saw real results like I have here. The difference is the environment. People hold you accountable, the coaches care, and you're constantly encouraged to be better. What's funny is I've driven by this gym for years and never really thought about it. With everything being online now and reading reviews, I'm honestly grateful I finally walked in. This place works, and the community makes all the difference. Highly recommend WoPro Fitness if you're serious about real results and being part of a supportive, motivating environment.

I had them join to build their confidence, gain physical ability, and learn self discipline. That is exactly what we got. I am appreciative to Sensei Berj. We came in very honest with what my intention was for my kids. It wasn't abt competing, belt color (although it does help with the kids when the earn the next belt). I wanted my kids to enjoy this experience. We previously went to another TKD dojo. They didn't even take the time to learn my kid's name. Too many kids, not enough instructors. Here at Kenpo was a different, delightful experience. The group was small, Berj takes the time to get to his students and their abilities. He truly wants to see each child succeed. That is rare in today's world. Most places are abt payment. This place is abt seeing the student thrive. The only reason we stopped was because of schedule conflict with other activities, and we weren't really into competing (which I'm pretty sure would've been fine to continue without competing but we just decided to stop instead). Again, I'm appreciate to Sensei Berj. Thanks for building their confidence and overall well-being. Keep up the good work .
