I am 40, fat and out of shape. I joined this gym because I had always wanted to learn how to box. From the very first class, I could tell that this gym was the real deal and that Coach Abdul was going to push me harder than I had trained in years. When I walked into my first class, he didn't write me off as some fat old guy. He gave me the same attention that he was giving the athletes he was training for competition. That meant that he also expected me to push myself as hard as the other guys. Over the last several months I have learned more about myself and pushing my limits than I did in 10 years of military service. Coach Abdul cares for his students, but he will not accept anything less than 100% from you at each class. If you are looking for a challenge and a great environment I couldn't recommend this gym enough!

Core Combat Sports added Krystal Kettler to their facility, Piloxing and insanity instructor. Krystal and her classes are awesome. Give her classes a try. It will kick your butt, but there is low impact if you need it. ( I am 56, sometimes I need it, but I feel great.)
