I love his self defense training relating to disarming weapons, specifically guns and knives. Many members here carry and need this continuous training thinking through every possible part of the gun and physical muscle memory to back it up. I've been training under him since about 2012 on self defense tactics including defense against the most 18 common attacks-including knife and gun disarms. I highly recommend him.

I was worried about putting him in a program that could train him more skills to hurt others, since he has past anger issues, due to his ADHD. I am blown away on how much this has helped him with all of it. As for the business itself, all the instructors are awesome and very caring. They're the most passionate and patient group of individuals I've ever seen. Steven's special needs teachers at school must of taught them how to deal with kids, because I've seen them deal with it all of it and never lose their cool. One thing I love the most is how much they teach respect to the kids. More skilled kids are always drilled to help and take it easier on the less skilled people and it shows, no matter what age group I watched practice. I played many sports throughout my life and I wish I knew about Jiu-jitsu when I was younger. Thanks to all of the instructors for all they do, y'all are awesome.

I hate leaving this review because my mother and I genuinely loved the instructors and classes at…read morePowerhouse Pilates. Unfortunately, the way management handled this situation completely changed our experience. We each paid $300 for a 30 class package that showed a 54 day expiration in the app. In reality, we had roughly two weeks to use all 30 classes because the package was tied to a Summer Challenge ending around Labor Day. After purchasing, we even told two instructors, including the owner, that we were nervous about completing 30 classes in 54 days because we were brand new to Pilates. No one mentioned that we actually had only about two weeks. I don't think a 30 class package should have been sold that close to its deadline without clearly communicating the terms. Even a quick call saying, "This is for a challenge and you only have X days left. Are you still interested?" would have prevented this entire situation. I would have purchased the monthly unlimited membership instead. What disappointed me most was how management handled it afterward. It took over two weeks, unanswered emails, an in person visit, missed follow ups, and finally an Instagram DM just to get a real response. I understand people are busy, but even "we're working on this" would have gone a long way. We weren't asking for a refund or anything free. We even offered to move the unused classes to the next challenge. In the end, Amina offered five class credits, which would have been a nice gesture initially, but after weeks of chasing a resolution, I was too put off to want to use them. We loved the instructors, loved the classes, and I was ready to become a monthly unlimited member. They didn't lose us because of a miscommunication. They lost us because of how management chose to handle it. This is ultimately why Powerhouse lost me as a customer, and unfortunately, I will not be referring anyone to this business. RESPONSE TO OWNERS COMMENT: I appreciate the response, but I think it misses the main point of my review. I never claimed the expiration date didn't exist anywhere. My concern is that the app we were using showed 54 days, and even after we specifically told two instructors, including the owner, that we were nervous about completing 30 classes within those 54 days, no one told us we actually had roughly two weeks. The bigger disappointment was how difficult it was to get anyone to address the situation. As acknowledged in the response, communication could have been better. The five class credits were eventually offered after weeks of following up, and by that point the experience had already changed how I felt about returning. I understand the studio stands behind its terms. I stand behind my review of my experience. Clear communication at the time of purchase, or simply handling the concern promptly and with some understanding, could have prevented all of this.

Rafael has this equipment and more including kettle bells, a versaclimber, a rower, a SkiErg...I will attach pictures in case you are looking for something specific. Rafael is very responsive by text and email for personal training, both for changing schedules and what you want to work on day to day and week to week. I recommend that you check him out to see if it is a good fit for you. Edit: 4 months later, still happy with my decision to make training a habit. Three things that I wanted to add to give you a flavor of the gym. 1. Rafael is not a "bro science" guy. In that I mean you can practice and discuss multiple training philosophies with him, and come to what works best for you. Then if something changes, he will help you make the adjustments. 2. Personal training helps with important details. We worked around a neck injury and he helped me correct technique issues that prevented future injuries and lost time. These are things that I never knew about in the past working out on my own. 3. I have seen great results with only 1 semi private session per week. That and I never get so sore that I cannot function the next day. Hope that additional info helps you all.

The instructors, facilities and scheduling are excellent. Their prices are exceptionally low, which makes Furia a hidden gem in this area. There's no contract requirement, no sign up fees, and adults aren't forced to buy an over-priced branded uniform (all this is incredibly rare for a martial arts school). The kids uniform is inexpensive. Furia is also exceptional in that they offer flexible plans, depending on your desired usage. You can choose as little as one day per week (lowest cost), or as much as "unlimited" (still comparatively low), or anything in-between. In the past I have varied my monthly plan based on how busy I was going to be. The facilities have a lot of offer. They have plenty of mat space, an MMA-style octagon, a workout space with weights and equipment (a big plus for me), a separate lobby and large viewing gallery for parents, and a refrigerator to keep your drinks cold. All together, it's a great way to try out the studio for a few months at no obligation. Although Furia has other programs, like adult kickboxing and boxing, I only have experience with two programs. Here are my reviews of each: Adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ): Furia has 7 adult classes per week, spread out Monday through Friday evenings. Classes include both gi (the traditional uniform) and "no gi." They have 4 different BJJ instructors, including a black belt and two brown belts. What I like about this setup is that you get exposed to different teaching styles, and you have the option of choosing which class meets your needs best. If you're interested in MMA, you should definitely check out the no-gi class. The instructor has a strong base in wrestling and MMA coaching, and there's even a pro-fighter who attends that class (don't worry, he goes easy on beginners!). Most classes are 1 hour and 15 minutes. I love that length because I think a 1-hour class is a little too short. Extra bonus: Furia has a partnership with Alliance BJJ in Pearland, which lets you visit that gym if you're ever in the area. Alliance has morning and afternoon classes, so it complements Furia's schedule well. Kid's American Karate / MMA: Jason is the owner and head coach of the Karate/Kickboxing program, and I can tell he put a lot of thought into the kid's curriculum and teaching methodology. Most schools teach the various styles in separate classes. Jason's program stands out for integrating different martial arts into a single program. Kids will learn karate kicks, mixed with boxing-style punching, along with wrestling-style takedowns and Brazilian jiu-jitsu for when they're rolling on the ground. There are a bunch of reasons why I like this format. First, he is developing well rounded martial artists. Second, since the different styles involve different movements, the kids are getting a full body workout in class. Third, since the class "changes gears" when they switch styles, the kids don't get burned out the way they do in other schools. My kid used to take a BJJ-only class at a different gym and I could tell his classmates would start tuning out and getting bored after 20 minutes of similar drills. The gear changes at the Furia program keeps the students mentally engaged and prevents them from getting overwhelmed. Fourth, Jason's program is excellent for anti-bullying and self-defense since it gives the kids experience in all ranges of confrontation (kicking, punching, clinching, and ground). They do a lot of light sparring and I can tell the kids really enjoy that. Most importantly for kids, Jason teaches perseverance, safety, self-control, respect and confidence, and he does it without the excessive formalism and ritual found in a lot of traditional martial arts schools. He has an excellent rapport with children, being both down-to-earth yet strong, and he is able to speak in a way that engages and motivates them. Overall, I highly recommend you try out Furia for yourself and/or your child.
