Recent success stories from people in the Clifton area.
Elle M.
I had back, neck and shoulder injuries, so I was apprehensive about training in general. Kathy's methods and attention to detail have resulted in a significant improvement in my strength and mobility. After two years of weekly sessions, I have never left feeling injured--the result of Kathy's care and precision throughout each workout.

I love training with Rosendo. He is a great Taekwondo teacher, professional and passionate. His classes provide the right amount of challenges customized upon each one’s characteristics. With his training I improved my flexibility and physical strength, not to mention my body shape and muscles tone. Besides the physical aspects, his training helped me to be more focused and concentrated; release stress and most importantly improve my self-confidence. Every one of Rosendo’s classes is a boost of energy and I am always looking forward to the next one.

The first thing I love about working with Drew is that he’s super patient. I don’t feel like he ever gets frustrated with me during our training sessions being that I’m a newbie. I also love that he challenges me and pushes me and I always end the session feeling like I’ve grown a little and learned something new. He’s helping me to build confidence in my technique, I can see my growth, and always feel like I get a great workout. I feel like I get challenged physically and mentally working with Drew . He’s also an all around good guy . I’ll definitely be training with him for the long haul as I know that my time and money are going to the kind of workouts you get results from.
