Normally I just go to the gym and do my own thing but I decided I'd give The Way a shot. I have to say it was an awesome experience! Not only is Brandon extremely knowledgeable about fitness and workout regimes, he's very personable and able to connect with his clients. He's straight and to the point, but big on positive reinforcement and self motivation. There were definitely times during the class that I had to take a break and he was totally cool with it. He's a true believer in healthy body/ healthy mind/ healthy soul. It's not just about how many burpees one can do. During the class, we worked on a variety of full body exercises from battle ropes, to slam balls, to balance activities on bosu balls. The gym itself is in a garage/industrial environment. There's a boxing ring and plenty of boxing related equipment (punching bags, etc.). None of that was used in our class. There's other equipment that's non boxing related as well (weights, rings, monkey bars, weight balls). We actually did a small portion of our class outside where we had to walk across the parking lot holding weights. I was told by another person that he often takes advantage of the environment when possible. Overall I was very happy with my first class. I'm definitely going to be sore tomorrow. I appreciate the energy that Brandon brings to the class. He's very passionate about what he does, and it shows. If you ask him why he opened the gym, he'll tell you it's to help people. Just a great mentality. Prices are very reasonable and I will definitely be back for another class.

Met with a few different organizations and decided to sign up for a 'Hell Month' with Kevin at 13 Strikes. Its been great. We've been meeting four days a week, alternating between boxing and weight lifting. The personal training classes are held in a private studio (Meara's Martial Arts, right next to Planet Fitness). One great thing is that I end up traveling occasionally for work and Kevin has been able to be flexible on the dates and times. In addition to my weekday 'Hell Month' workout, I have also been attending the Sunday Boot Camp held at the same location. Typically there are 10-12 others and it takes just under an hour for a solid workout. The five days a week that I have been working out has been great and I am seeing the results. When my Hell Month is over I plan to continue on with personal training one-two days a week.

I am so happy with the results I just signed up to do another "hell month". If you are looking for a trainer call Kevin!!

In that time along with some strength training and diet changes I managed to go from a size 2XL to a Small. Reducing my overall weight by 50 pounds and my biological age by 7 years. Big improvements start with small changes that you can keep doing for life. Boxing is fun and I will be doing this for a long time.

This place is a scam! Despite repeated attempts to cancel the membership, they persistently bombard…read moreyou with messages like "Your monthly payment couldn't be processed. Let us know if you need to update your card or try running it again." Seriously? If someone has already called to cancel, it doesn't take a genius to realize they don't want to be a member anymore. But they still keep pushing it to the point that they sent you through debt collection for invalid payments/money they can't take from you just because you canceled the membership? Like what the fuck does this make any sense? What if that person just came here for a short period of time to try out then move out of town so they dont need to come anymore? I can never wrap my mind about this fucking ridiculous business trying to steal money from people to death even though they no longer want to do business with them anymore!!!

I have been training under Gershon ben Keren at Krav Maga Yashir since February 2012. In my opinion…read morethere are four reasons why Krav Maga Yashir Boston should receive serious consideration from anyone in the Boston area seeking to learn self-defense, learn a martial art, or simply vastly improve their physical fitness. Number 1 = Quality of instruction. This is the sine qua non of any martial arts school. Mr. ben Keren and his assistant instructors are professional, competent, and dedicated. Techniques are expertly demonstrated, remediated, and reinforced in a variety of partner-based and group-based drills. Students are always shown the "context" of a technique: what happens leading up to it, the purpose of each movement, and what happens afterwards. My belief is that when new students are able to perform a technique effectively on their first try, it actually reflects far more credit on the teacher than the learner. I see this happen all the time on the mats, and it speaks volumes for the knowledge and competency of the instructors. Number 2 = Krav Maga Yashir teaches the entire spectrum of violence, an area where other martial arts have major limitations. A striking art (boxing, muay thai, karate) may teach you to fight an imaginary assailant. A grappling art such as BJJ may teach you to escape from said assailant on the ground. Neither addresses the more important questions grounded in reality, such as: How did you get there? What if a knife or gun is involved? What if I accidentally trip and fall? Get taken by surprise? Get backed against a wall? Have a significant other I need to protect? Krav Maga Yashir teaches simple, direct, pragmatic solutions to all of the above, and more. Nobody needs to be Donnie Yen or Ronda Rousey to effectively defend themselves, and this school gives you the tools to do that. Number 3 = Value for your $$. Monthly membership rate is comparable to market rate for other area martial arts schools, and much lower than Crossfit gyms and other functional-fitness type places. The membership also gives free access to 5x-weekly cardio bootcamp classes, special outdoor training, and use of the gym at the studio. New workout equipment is constantly added and incorporated into the bootcamps, which themselves are a hell of a workout. Members also get first access to guest seminars with top outside Krav Maga instructors. Number 4 = Great social atmosphere. I'm always impressed by the respect, humility, and maturity of other students. It's very rare to have anyone beating on others in an attempt to be the tough guy, and such behavior is *never* tolerated. Students are all ages from 20s to 60s, all body types and fitness levels. Since all of class is partner or group based, you quickly pick up names and personalities of fellow students. Sometimes when you're on the brink of absolute physical exhaustion, you just can't help but look at each other and laugh at the insanity of it all. That's the kind of esprit that can't be faked, and a major reason I spend 10 hrs a week here without hesitation. Overall, Krav Maga Yashir gets my highest possible recommendation. I am constantly being that annoying guy urging my female friends to try it, and it's what I look forward to every day at work (when I'm not wasting time on Yelp reviews that will end up getting filtered anyway). You can try classes free for a week through the school website as well.
