But master Haugh was so nice and let all 3 boys try it out for free. Maybe it's kindness, maybe brilliant marketing but all 3 boys fell in love. How could you not, he is so kind, so gentle and so inclusive! He meets the kids where they are, doesn't force anyone do something they are not ready for. The biggest thing he teaches is confidence, respect, and positive values. My wife is a teacher and she has even learned how to better teach and reach her students. We are happy we found this wonderful school!

My daughter is very shy and has a hard time warming up to people, but she has warmed up and Loves going to her lessons. She is very dedicated and Mr. Hauth recognizes her shyness and does everything to encourage her to participate and feel valued. He is an excellent teacher and human being. We are always seeking good male role models for our children and Mr. Hauth certainly fits the bill. We are very fortunate to have him in our community to help raise our kids as thoughtful, kind, and considerate people. Oh and by the way they also learned have to defend themselves in the process!

I have been at the school for 10 years now. I've seen a lot of lives changed for the better. It is…read moresuch a loving, supportive environment. Yet, at the same time motivating and encouraging. I hear feedback from countless families of young children that are so appreciative of the structure and discipline provided to their children. I encourage anybody out there curious about martial arts to just walk through the front door and give it a try. It's the scariest part. Excited for our new larger location on the corner of Todd and Santa Rosa Avenue! Come upstairs and check it out! You'll find that our Jeff Speakman community is so much larger than just our local school. Great opportunities to travel and meet friends around the world.

I wish I could give Sid more stars because 5 is just "great" but his training is excellent. After…read morejust a few weeks, I started recommending this place to everyone I knew because my back pain disappeared! It's not even the reason I started going here (reason was to get in shape and healthier), but it was a very happy side effect of Sid's gentle restorative approach to fitness. For years, I would toss and turn at night from back pain that gradually increased with each hour, sometimes getting me out of bed at 3 or 4am. If I didn't get out of bed when it got bad, then by morning I'd feel practically disabled, struggling to get out of bed with intense pain that felt like my back was going to break just sitting up. But after just a few weeks with Sid, I realized that I'd been sleeping well and popping right out of bed with no pain!!! It was so amazing, and I do credit that to Sid's restorative training approach. Sid's does personal one-on-one training in his own private gym, so there was never anyone else there using the gym at the same time, which was nice because the focus was 100% on helping ensure I was in the correct positions -- not squatting with my knees wrong, or pulling a stretch band with my elbows or shoulders in a damaging position, feet in correct position, etc. If anything was in a position that could cause injury working out that way, he would quickly let me know how to correct it -- and that was HUGE for me, because I know for a fact (from many workout injuries) that I am the type of person who works out incorrectly. Sid helped prevent that, letting me know if I was doing something correctly, or need to fix my position. But there is so much more! I wasn't expecting this, but he also talked to me each time about things like diet, and what I'm doing on my own time to ensure success, and why or why not certain things I'd been trying were (or weren't) effective at this time, at my current fitness level. He really helped me start thinking differently about what I was eating, how it was affecting my body's ability to function properly, how much and even when to eat, how even little tweaks in a restaurant order can save me the amount of calories equal to a one-hour workout. His information helped me decide to stop drinking one particular type of drink I'd often buy, and switch it for a much better one. I could send him questions any time, he is very responsive. He actually seems to genuinely care about you being successful, and is there to help. Sid was, in my experience, the absolute best kind of personal trainer I could ever hope for. I didn't even know they could be this good. Now, I personally tried Sid's personal training gym as a treat for myself for Christmas, as I can't normally afford such a thing. But I really need fitness help, and I liked his website -- it's focus on restorative exercise sounded exactly like what I needed, and I wanted to try it. So I did, and I can't wait until I can go back again! I do absolutely recommend Sid at Back to Fitness to anyone who can afford it because it was truly life-changing for me, and I learned so much even in the short time I was there, and my back still feels better (thank you so much, Sid!). I really can't wait to go back here again.
