Our mission is to improve health, build confidence and create leaders within our community.
MMA Fighters and Kickboxers are some of the best conditioned athletes in the world. They are resistant to injuries, strong, lean, flexible and have amazing endurance.
Our Kickboxing classes bring this form of athletic training and development to you, without the contact.
Martial Arts based fitness has been around for a while now, with cardio kickboxing classes running out of just about every gym. The problem is they don’t really work, just like most trends in aerobics classes.
What makes us different is we are going to train you like an athlete.
67% of big box gym memberships go completely unused…
USA Today did a study a few years back that showed 67% of gym memberships go completely unused.
The business model is based around high levels of people paying, but not using. This allows very low price points, so low that many people won’t bother to cancel even if they never use it. The lower the price, the more they are counting on a high percentage of paying members never showing up.
Some go even further, and build their gyms in a way that makes it very hard to get any real results…. Over abundance of machine based exercises, unhealthy free snacks, etc. If you aren’t seeing real results, you’ll stop going (but hopefully keep paying)
Smaller fitness studios want you there, 3 times a week, every week. We base our success on your success, not on unused memberships driving up the top line.
So if you have tried the big budget gyms and failed, it’s not your fault. That was the plan, they want most of their members to fail, that’s how they stay in business.
Do it right, join a program that wants to see you there 3x / week and see you succeed
This means we are not just taking the same aerobics class structure and throwing punches and kicks. We are actually going to train you to be a athlete, the same way athletes in martial arts and other sports train.
Our program started as a way to get our martial arts students in great shape so that they could train safely and do better in competition. We went to the best in the industry to create a top level strength and conditioning program that got amazing results and did so quickly.
Since then it has become our most popular program for a simple reason, it gets the results it promises. It’s hard, but it’s fun and energizing. It will leave you sore when you first start, but after a couple weeks that goes away and the strength and cardio gains make everyday life more enjoyable.

Pushing, Pulling, Rotating, Level Changing and Locatmotion. In addition to the 5 are combinations of 2 or more, and a complete athlete needs to train in all of them. Most injuries occur as a result of not balancing those types of motion or being able to integrate them.
Balance is a huge part of martial arts, we have another person doing everything they can to disrupt our balance in training. As a result many of our excercises are designed to build balance and be able to recover balance quickly. This not only aides in martial arts training but reduces injuries in everything we do.
If you don’t have a strong core you are not strong, it’s that simple. A strong core protects the body, keeping it in proper alignment and prevents back and hip problems. Our strength training focuses on building strength from the core outwards, we want functional strength in our athletes.
Whether you are shoveling the driveway or wrestling in real situations the load we place on our body is rarely even. A strong core and proper training is needed to ensure effectiveness and safety when working in real situations where the load you place on your body is not perfectly symmetrical.
At the end of the day a Strength and Conditioning program should be about safety and longevity above all else. We want you to be able to play harder, longer and with less chance of injuries. For this reason we design our program in a way that is safe for everyone. Young, old, beginner, advanced, it doesn’t matter. All excercises are designed to be safe and with modifications for all fitness levels.
30-Day diets don’t work, and neither do 30-day fitness programs. To see the benefits of a healthy lifestyle you have to make it that, a lifestyle. This means a healthy diet and exercise should be “normal”, not something you are doing for 30-days to hit a short term goal. It may not be with us for life, but wherever life takes you, make it a healthy one and it will be a better one.
One of the most important things we believe to be important in our program is variety. We want our routines to feel fresh. We know that fitness programs as a whole tend to get stale over time. When that happens results start to slow down and interest gets lost. For this reason we try to mix it up a fair bit with our routines.
However, there is a few key elements that are part of the structure of our classes that we stick to:
1 – Warmup. Every class will start with a warm up of some sort. This is low intensity exercise that builds up as we go to get your blood moving and body ready to train hard.
2 – Interval Training. HIIT, or “High Intensity Interval Training” has been proven to get results faster then any other sort of training. Sometimes this means working as a group, other times it is partner work, other times a circuit. It can be a strength focus, or a explosive power focus or even a cardio focus depending on the class. But for the most part we stick to interval training as it gets the best results.
3 – Pad work. We are a martial arts school, and that ties into all of our classes. We will teach you how to properly hit and hold pads. This is great cardio and lots of fun, making it a great way to finish off a workout and get a little extra out of it.
4 – Stretching. A proper cool down prevents injuries and improves recovery time. Our cool downs are based on stretching and yoga designed to improve your flexibility, reduce injuries and correct flexibility issues that can lead to lower back, hip and other sorts of problems.
Each class lasts 60 mins, and will leave you sweating, smiling and feeling energized.
Our Adult Classes are restricted to age 15+, we also have kids classes for ages 3-15.
We have classes 6-days a week, most people attend 2-3 classes per week. When you book your trial class we will go through the schedule with you to make sure you are attending the right classes.
Our adult program has 3 class types. We offer a fitness based class, a Self-defence / MMA Fundamentals class and a Jiu-jitsu class. You can attend any of the 3, or mix and match them as you like.
That depends on the class you are attending. All of our adult classes are run without uniforms, but some require gloves / shin pads. When you become a members we include the initial equipment needed with your membership.
None at all. Our program is ongoing, and you can cancel at any time.
Of course not, our program is designed to get you in shape :)
