A Truly Incredible Experience at Kugtar MMA!!!…read more We are beyond grateful for the amazing guidance, support, and mentorship our son has received. From the moment he started, we knew we found something special. The environment is positive, DISCIPLINED, and uplifting -- exactly what every parent hopes for when choosing a martial arts school. A huge and heartfelt thank you to the Vanderlipe family, whose dedication and passion for jiu-jitsu shine through in everything they do. Their patience, encouragement, and genuine care have helped our son grow not only as an athlete, but also in his confidence, focus, and character. We have so much appreciation for the time, energy, and heart they pour into their students. We couldn't be more proud of the progress he's made under their guidance. He recently competed in a few tournaments for the first time this year. First tournament received a participation medal, second tournament a bronze, and third was GOLD! We highly recommend Kugtar MMA to any family looking for top-tier jiu-jitsu training, amazing role models, and a community that truly feels like family. Thank you, Vanderlipe family -- we are so grateful for everything you've done for our son!

Came with my friend and his son to see if he would be a good fit . I like the overall quality of…read morethe place but when the main female instructor ( i believe she was the main sensei's wife) came to class late loud and disruptive I immediately didn't like it. After class she approached and spoke with us with a sense of entitlement telling us we have to refer to her as ma'am when speaking to her but showed no respect while speaking to us. She then tells me I can beat up your mom and she's choked out guys that thought she couldn't do it. The head sensei showed the traditional demeanor of martial artist's I've met in the past honor and humility which has always been something I've found appealing. There was also 2 younger instructors who acted with respect and were leading the class. It was ma'am that made me not like the place and it seems she'd be there all the time.

Finally, something that works! After years and years of investing my time and money in fad diets…read moreand commercial gyms, nothing worked for me until I started training with Coach Art. I am a busy working mom that has no time to train in the afternoons and evenings. His early morning workout schedule works perfectly for me. I started with little to no experience in lifting weights, interval training and martial arts. Despite training as a group, he was very accommodating and adjusted exercises to my limited abilities. His workouts are challenging but he knows how to push me without pushing me over the edge. I honestly didn't care for his combat cross-training class which I would skip from time to time. But now I'm totally addicted to it - especially when we train boxing! Since training with Art I've lost a total of 20 lbs. I'm stronger and more energetic than ever. Poor food choices have been my weakness all my life. However, with Art's guidance I have started to make healthier changes to my nutrition. The great results I'm seeing in my fitness tests along with the awesome members I train with have inspired me to make permanent changes to my lifestyle. I would recommend training at United Strength and Conditioning to anyone. If you've been struggling for results and are in need of some spark in your workout then I wouldn't hesitate to join the team.

I came here to lose weight and learn to manage my diet. 8 months in I am having more energy, my…read moremood is more stable, and carrying certain things have been much easier. I like United Strength And conditioning because I'm getting the exercise I need early in the morning so my day already feels accomplished, class size is small, and I'm getting the right amount of push to watch my diet. I also like that it's affordable. Since I've been working on muscle development I have only lost weight 8 lbs but my belly rolls are gone and I finally found my abs. If you are tired of falling short of developing a routine and would rather dish some duckets out to have maintain your routine, I'd recommend you give Couch Art a call, you won't be disappointed.

I can't say enough good things about this gym and if I could give them 6 stars I would. I was…read morereally, really out of shape when I started here. It had been about a decade since I worked out daily. Many years ago, I was a devoted Pilates Coach/Ball Fitness Studios fan when I lived in Reno. And since then, I've never found a place I really loved or remained committed to. 2SA welcomed me and challenged me in ways I've never been challenged. I tried boxing and Piyo for the first time, loved both. Amanda's classes were great and she even ran over and held my hand doing lunges so I could get into the correct position. With pretty large class sizes, that really says a lot about the instructor. Most of her students had been with her for years, no other place in Monterey Bay has that kind of cult following this gym and its instructors have. Most people want to work out in a place where everyone looks like their ideal physique, and the people who attend this gym are definitely athletes. If you can get over your own insecurities and put in the work, you will love it here. Lastly, customer service is how it should be. Cancelling is easy. Signing up is easy. The monthly payment is low. There are no gimmicks or upselling or hassles. Just show up when you want to try a class and if you like it, join! Unfortunately with COVID I've been home doing Beachbody. I have a small child and can't make the drive over there for the foreseeable future. If I lived in Salinas, I'd be there in a heartbeat!

I want to address the review from R.B. as a member of Hyperactive…read more For the last couple years as a member I never had issues with Jesse, always felt that I can go talk to him about any issues and there is many of us that would agree. The workouts are challenging but they aren't repetitive, we do same or different movements but the rounds, the time, the reps is not the same, all work outs are different on a daily biases. When he cancels a Saturday class its either because work is being done at the gym or another valid situation, not Just because he doesn't want to coach. That's crazy to even think that its just because he doesn't want to coach. Prices have gone up, but so has prices everywhere. If the prices didn't go up we wouldn't have a gym, and that's 100% facts. Go and check out other gyms and see how much they charge and they you will be appreciative of how much we pay. If you are having those issues with members hitting on you, defiantly speak to Jesse, he will nip it in the ass quick. Don't assume things. You are right the Facility is nice and the Community is awesome, But how do you write that after bashing this man's business and persona. We are a family and large community here, if your issues are with him, address them and ask to speak to him. Not come out and bash him, that not cool. There is other gyms in the area, if you feel super strongly about the owner and how he does things. I love this place and I have felt at home since the first day I step in and met everyone to the point that some are actually family to me.
