Arya P. says, "Adam is amazing. An excellent, supportive instructor, he's helped me progress much faster than I would have otherwise. He can demonstrate and explain concepts in a way that is easy to understand and follow. He can work at my pace, and I've been able to get immediate feedback from the specifics of the form I was working on up to the philosophy of how to approach self-defense in various situations. The training is no-nonsense: direct and practical, there's no fluff. From basic strikes, punches and kicks, to more advanced self-defense such as against choking, grabs, weapons, he can teach it all in a very accessible and practical manner. I feel more comfortable in the street and in uncertain environments thanks to his training."See more

Andres says, "Did the first session with Andrew today. I like the 1on1 training, his techniques for resistance training is on point, and he's a real nice guy. His private studio is great for improving your techniques and working out in a comfortable environment. Andrew does specializes in many fields of work out so there is a little bit of everything for anyone to try. Mostly it's great to have found a trainer who motivate you and have the knowledge to help reach your fitness goals."See more
