Got to visit for Los Angeles. What a great experience. Whether you're visiting or a local trying to…read morefigure out if this gym is for you, here are some take aways. 1. First off, Professor Kyle is great. He was very friendly and welcoming. He introduced me around to a lot of the guys and game me a tour of the gym. You can see what type of vibe a gym has by seeing how the students relate to him during class. Here, you can tell they respect Kyle Watson, but are also friendly with Kyle and there's plenty of friendly banter. Kyle is very attentive throughout the entire class and the class is put together with a lot of thoughtfulness. Kyle is attentive the entire time and super helpful in giving instruction and tips. 2. The vibe of the gym is great. Here, you'll find competitor and hobbyists. Everyone was very kind and skilled. No one is off to take off your head and you can tell there are some skilled people on the matts that can turn it on (if they wanted). Great number of training partners. I can see guys getting good here pretty quickly. And if I lived around here, this would be the gym I would pick. Chill vibe but people here work hard. 3. Facilities. This place is HUGE. Upstairs and downstairs mat space. Mens and women's lockers. Showers. Plenty of space to put your gym bag. The place is CLEAN throughout. 4. Schedule. An underestimated aspect of someone choosing a gym is the schedule. Bottom line, if there aren't a lot of options, you're more likely to stop training. Here, there are a ton of options for advance, beginning, go and no gi. Bottom line, give this place a shot. You will not be disappointed.

The CCW class was so good that I decided to take the Handgun Boot Camp 1 here. The Boot Camp was great as well. The instructors are knowledgeable in what they do and what they are teaching. I personally feel more comfortable in having a CCW license. They put you in real life situations making sure you follow proper procedures at all times. I will definitely take the Hangun Boot Camp 2. I really trust these men and women in what they do.

The instruction is top-notch and the atmosphere is very welcoming. I do not have much background or experience, and I found the material appropriately challenging, but not at all overwhelming or too technical. I"m six months pregnant, too, and that wasn't an issue either, even with the physical training that is part of the bootcamp--- it's scalable so I just sat a few things out and observed. I highly recommend this place for others who want to become more comfortable and proficient. It's extremely valuable, and at the same time, very, very fun.

I have been going here for almost 10 months now and it is probably one of the best decisions I've…read moremade. All the coaches are super friendly, the environment is very supportive and kind. I'm excited everytime I go to class. When I was choosing a gym I wanted a place that wasn't super intimidating, was inclusive, fun, would allow me to make friends and wasn't all men. And this place did all that and more. I have found a community of like-minded people that all want to learn and have fun. Plus they host a bunch of fun events outside of class to get to know each other better. What I love the most about this gym is they teach you how to defend yourself in real-world situations so that you feel more empowered and safe in your own body. And they do it in a safe way, too. They really work with you to make sure you're not only doing the moves right, but that you understand why you're doing what you're doing. This gym is for EVERYONE. Any age, gender and body type. I guarantee you will have fun and benefit from these classes. Plus, the first class is free! (And no, they are not paying me to say this, I'm just a big fan)

During the one-on-one sessions, he will work on techniques and tailors his sessions on what you want (learning technique, cardio, or weight loss etc.) I came in because I've never done kickboxing before and thought I'd give it a try. I LOVED IT. In only five lessons, I feel like I have the basics down and feeling ready to kill in the ring. He will work you until you're dead tired, sweating, and you want to come back for more. I bought the 30-min pack and felt like I was always dying by the end of the session. For the price point, totally worth the solo lesson. The gym has a bunch of workout equipment (treadmill, stair master, ab machine, weighted balls) and lots of different punching bags. I'm moving out state and wished I found this place earlier!
