Michelle was awesome! Our group had 6 girls aged 10-13 and 3 moms and 1 grandma. Michelle came to…read moreour house and taught us all about using our intuition when in a potentially unsafe situation, how to use our voice to scare off predators, and use our self defense moves against bad people. Michelle used language that was very age-appropriate so as not to scare the girls- but to become more aware of surroundings and to be ready if an unwanted person/situation arises. Michelle has a lot of positive energy which made us even more focused, eager to learn and empowered!! I will definitely be telling all my friends to contact her to schedule a class. Suzanne C.

I felt incredibly welcomed and not at all embarrassed. The classes are extremely accommodating for all skill levels and the instructors could not be kinder or more encouraging. They foster such a wonderful atmosphere of learning and belonging while also providing an incredible workout. I'm so sad I moved away and can't attend anymore; every other class I've tried has been 95% workout/cardio and 5% actual kickboxing, but GIRLS Gym truly got into the fundamentals and know how while also providing an awesome work out! I will forever remember the incredible girls I met here and what they taught me.

Top notch! Professionals that you can learn from! Very engaging…read more Excellent program! Two females went to a basic hand pistol 101 class with James as an instructor. The company has a total of 7 instructors. It was a 2hr class that he graciously went over about 30 minutes to fully brief us on what he knows are important to know as our goal was basic handling and safety. James was very thorough, pleasant and direct with his intentions of what beginners with no formal experience should know. We didn't expect the level of knowledge and hands on that we got today. We even got to do a "fitting" to ensure which type of handgun would work best for us as individuals. We recommend this company for any beginners to take as their main concern is safety and to give you the tools necessary to safely operate a handgun. Or a novice trying to scale up. We also have two other scheduled classes with them in the next coming months and I am excited to be with professionals who are there to teach at your pace, correct where necessary and reinforce good practices. Thanks James and the group. Exceptional learning service!

We just love going to Coach Peter's Self Defence class.My teenagers went for a trial class and they…read morecame home excited and asking to do more. We learn a lot while having lots of laughs. Peter is thorough and teaches all aspects of self defense, not just the physical moves. He presents realistic situations, and teaches the kids to read a situation, avoid getting into situations, use verbal defence whenever possible, defend ourselves while doing as little damage as possible, yet knowing and learning the techniques to really cause damage when the need arises. We hope to gain confidence with much more practices on the physical skills, but we also recognize that we need to be responsible for the choices and actions we end up taking in all situations. My family comes home from Peter's classes with lots of awesome dinner discussions. I highly recommend Peter's class. Everyone needs to learn to defend themselves, understand the psychology of "bullies" and then be responsibly for their own choices and actions.

It was a densely-packed session that was very beginner friendly. I walked away with skills I could use right now, and I know what skills I can work on when I come back to get more skilled. There were plenty of instructors there to help so you got lots of feedback and attention -- which was a pleasant surprise at a big event! Try this place out if you're considering it: the instructors are engaging and helped me feel comfortable within the first 10 minutes of being there.

As a student, I am thrilled to recommend this school and its staff. I have trained at several…read moreschools over the years and this one stands out for several reasons: 1. It is very welcoming and supportive; the community is strong and friendly. Some schools are very businesslike, or don't encourage students to be friends outside of class; this one is the opposite! 2. The style is very eclectic. You will learn to punch and kick, but you'll also learn to use weapons and to move in several different distinct ways. This style of martial arts has a lot to learn and challenges my mind and body every class. 3. Speaking of challenge, this class is a full body workout. I never step off the mat without getting really sweaty. The teachers make time to encourage you to drink water frequently during class. 4. This school and community are extremely inclusive. There are at least any many women and trans students as men; frequently men are in a drastic minority. There is no "bro"/macho culture here as there is in many other schools. While it is somewhat expensive for the number of classes (2-3/week at least as a beginning adult student) you get access to compared to some other schools, the pricing is not a secret (it is shown on the website and the staff will be happy to talk with you about it), I feel it is worthwhile based on about 10 years of training in other schools (even ones that cost less and had 10 classes a week).

A colleague recommended me a personal trainer they knew at a nearby gym and I managed to book an…read moreintro with the wrong trainer. Fortunately, the wrong trainer turned out to be Alberto -- who ended up being the right trainer (for me)! As of the time of writing this, I've been working out with Alberto twice each week for over a year. One of the first things he did was help me recalibrate my diet/macros, which wasn't something that my previous trainer (a few years ago) spent much time with me. The approach was customized to my own health and performance goals. Having an opportunity to work with him, he has a good cadence of going into a targeted zone for around a month and then begins to shift. This has helped me get better at planning my solo workouts (i.e., if I know I have another big leg day coming up -- I might focus elsewhere the days leading into it). Results? Down ~20lbs and just got back from a session where I broke my personal best for deadlifting. I've never felt stronger. My only hesitation in recommending Alberto is that more people might make him less available for me. :-)
