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.

I've been attending the various classes offered at Gino's school for almost a month now and have…read moreloved the experience ever since. As an on again off again martial arts practitioner myself, I wanted to find a gym that offered great instruction and a profound level of patience for more analytical, and sometimes hesitant, practitioners like myself. Thus far, I can say that Gino's teachings, and the atmosphere all his students provide, has kept me coming back for more. The training is definitely challenging and grueling at times, as does any great martial arts studio provides, but well worth it when you can walk out of there knowing that your fitness level and self defense confidence increased that much more. For those of you trying him out, I highly suggest coming to the open mat sessions too. It will really help you tighten the holes in your fight game. Also, the monthly tuitions are by far the most affordable compared to other gyms in the valley.

I was looking for self defense classes and cardio fitness when I found UMAC Palm Desert…read more This is something totally out of my scope, but with just 4 lessons down, I'm pleased with my find! 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!

How are you going to take a break and leave my child practicing by himself while you're outside smoking ! Not happy ! Also be careful when signing your child up I called and spoke with Josh and he informed me the price of $140.00 a month never mentioned a $50.00 registration fee that was the first issue I had then never told us that we needed to buy gloves and wraps! So on his first day we had no choice but to pay more and purchase wraps from the place and then I was told the gloves would be $60 when in fact it was $75.00 ! I would have expected all of this info to be provided when I called and inquired about the class and I asked what was needed like what does he wear etc . That would have been a good time for them to say also on top of the $140 there is a registration fee and he needs to have gloves and wraps to participate! Also the way they go about things like combining multiple age groups into one class is a bit intimidating to a 8 year old. This place treats you like a number and not a person in my opinion. You also have to hound the owner to provide you with an invoice . Otherwise you will get billed all together if not. Another parent mentioned how he had to constantly remind the owner to bill him and then out of nowhere got billed for a total of three months worth of classes . I'm sorry but if I'm paying business I should not have to remind them to bill me on time.

The whole" kids free all summer" program is a joke and they allow groups of kids to stand around with street cloths on and just sit on the machines and stare at their phones for endless amount of time. These groups are not interested in working out and are rude to the people that are. The staff does nothing to move these groups along or keep them from monopolizing an entire area for hours. I'd try another gym if you want to do anything other than walk on a tread mill.

One can get either a daily pass or a weekly pass, perfect for the many tourists that travel through Palm Springs. The clientele appears to be almost entirely gay men -- I might have seen two women in the entire facility. I felt comfortable wearing very little while working out -- short shorts and a tight tank top, and I fit right in. The equipment and the space itself are fine, a bit rough around the edges and it could be cleaner. And the men's locker room was quite crowded and smelled a bit musty -- the steam room is essentially an orgy room. There are more polished gyms in the area, but if you are visiting and want to get a workout in, as well as have some additional fun, this is the place to go.

Clean and busy gym. Nice employees. Lots of equipment. The group boot camp class is awesome.read more

As a former fitness professional I've had a lot of massages, being that I was always working out and sore, whether it be weight training; kickboxing; boot camp classes; or doing Pilates. Aaron greeted me at his gate, welcomed me in, and made me feel right at home. He constantly checked in to see how I was doing, and found my knots, and tight spots. I generally like deep tissue, but today went for something in between Sweedish, and Deep Tissue. The time flew by, and I am looking forward to my next massage already. Treat yourself, and give Aaron a try! You'll be glad you did!
