Mark is knowledgeable and He's "all in" as an instructor. He is as interested in your progress as he is in his own of KRAV MAGA. Sessions are one hour long with lessons on defensive moves, safety, and perfecting your own practice. Scenarios are applicable to real world. As a woman, I learned that this is practical and applicable to the society we live in today. Children's lessons are available as well. The first lesson is free and you can choose your plan and as often as you would like for flexibility scheduling. Boost your confidence and try it out!

Forget Bally's and 24-Hour Fitness…read more.. This place is AWESOME! Worth the money and you'll see results in no time. Yes it's $50/month but it is really well worth it! You sign up and yes you get your own gloves and wraps. You can go to all the classes they offer. They have classes where you physically use the boxing bag, or you can take an aerobics class that does everything the except physically use the bag. They have kettlebell classes and there's also personal training. You got kids? Bring them, there's a small play area with a tv to keep your kids occupied while you work out. You get a real workout from head to toe. The classes are small and it's better because you get that feeling like you're working with a personal trainer. The instructors go around during class and make sure you are doing the work out right so you don't hurt yourself. The owner Monique is so nice and super sweet. She takes the time to get to know you. She's so active you'll catch her running around the place making sure everything is right and running smooth. Gotta love that. It's family owned, her daughter is the receptionist and she also takes classes there too. Check it out. I saw results in 2 weeks, my co-workers noticed immediately saying i had more defined arms and my waist looked thinner. If there was anything higher than an A+ i would definitely give it to UKB.

He is such a wealth of information when it comes to Muay Thai Kickboxing, Boxing, MMA, and the Martial Arts that he used to Coach Dan Henderson and Team Qwest. I truly appreciate the fact that ALL levels and Ages (12 and up) can take the same class and still grow together. I'm coming back from being overweight and injuries and my daughter has never trained before, so being able to spend time with her and learn the science of 8 limbs, the beauty of Boxing, and the Art of MMA.

It doesn't look like professional) *Clerk can't keep promises(signed up for free trial on Friday come back on Monday and tells me trial is over when we both agreed it was ending Wednesday) *Parents jumping into the mat and teaching the kids (This is a big one for me, I have never been to a martial art dojo were parents are teaching Jiujitsu moves or creating agility training. I'm not exaggerating, this instructor was explaining a move and the mom jumped to the mat to correct one of the kids, she wasn't even fit. Then this dad jumped in to make up drills for the kids lmao. Why would anyone pay for a nobody to teach me son when I can just wrestle with him and learn in YouTube) *Instructors(to be honest they looked like they hated their job, not engaging and monotonous tone of voice) I understand this a family businesses but you can't called yourself an MMA gym with the cons listed above

I can honestly say that if it wasn't for Leyla, I wouldn't still be at Power of Fitness in Palm…read moreDesert. She is hands down the best trainer in the valley. Leyla goes above and beyond for her clients--she's knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely cares about your progress. She pushes you in the best way possible while still making every workout enjoyable and tailored to you. The gym itself has a great atmosphere, and the owner, Joe, is very friendly and a genuinely nice person, which makes a big difference. Power of Fitness is a great gym, but what really makes it stand out is having a trainer like Leyla. They are truly lucky to have her on their team. If you're thinking about getting a trainer, I highly recommend working with Leyla--you won't regret it.
