    I joined KMA for the 6 week challenge and was very skeptical of the offer. (Spoiler alert: I hit my goal of losing 6% body fat) Were the pictures photoshopped? Did they hire models? I was unsure about all of it. But with a little ounce of hope, I went in for the consultation and ended up signing up for the challenge. The classes were fun and empowering- they really emphasize how important safety is for females in New York, and I loved taking the women-only classes with Ryan. Other favorite instructors: Adolfo and Sherman. The hardest part: the meal plan! I have never tried following one, but I credit the meal plan to a lot of my success! The no alcohol part was hard and definitely had an impact on my social life, but the results were worth it. In the end, I lost 6.4% body fat and 15 lbs! I'll attach my before and after pics below too. If you're thinking about it, I encourage you to join!

    I began the Krav Maga 6-week challenge on April 22, 2019 and I made my goal almost a week before the 6 weeks was over! Being consistent, focused, and disciplined for these past 6-weeks was key. I never missed a class and was very disciplined with my meal plan. The Krav Maga instructors and assistant instructors are motivating! Ryan and Sherman were my main instructors and they rocked! Each hour-long class had me SWEATING in the first 3 minutes and it's a workout like I've never experienced! The instructors mix each class up to keep them challenging and the key self-defense techniques that I learned are invaluable! Keeping everyone safe during class is their top priority along with making sure we exert our maximum effort! It's a mix of calisthenics, self-defense and partner/group activities. Ryan teaches an amazing women's only class which I went to 2x a week. Her enthusiasm for each of us to get stronger, own our strength and be confident in this self-defense technique is palpable. She always checks in with the class to bring us specific self-defense scenarios that women may face, which are so helpful. Sherman kept me accountable in class when he put me in the front row to make sure I was giving it my all every time! That made a huge difference in helping me loss that final body fat percent. All of my fellow classmates were so nice, welcoming and encouraging. There is a sense of community at Krav Maga and such positive energy from the instructors. I recommend the classes, it has been a great experience! I think what I've gained from this challenge and classes is more confidence in my ability to protect myself if a self-defense situation arises. I've developed more disciple to workout at a more intense level and to constantly challenge my limits!

    Before Christmas, I came across a Facebook ad that touted losing 25 pounds in 6 weeks with three work outs a week, a personalized meal plan, and an accountability coach. I had some appointments in the city, so I decided to go in for the meeting. Now, I used to be the queen of the "at-home" workout. Beachbody really got me through. Years ago, I did P90X, Insanity, and until recently, T25, on the regular. I never liked the idea of working out in a class setting, mostly because there's no pause button, but also because I didn't know how people would take to me hoopin' n hollerin' and cussing up a storm. Well... the sales pitch was convincing. I knew that I needed to switch things up, as T25 wasn't really getting me there anymore, and I was clearly becoming an overweight person. I realized that I am at a point in my life where if I don't make some drastic changes NOW, I will continue to add permanent poundage and solidify my chances of not being able to break my bad habits. That extra few pounds a year seemed to be multiplying to an extra 5 (permanent) pounds every year! So, I decided that it would be worth it for me to gamble with my deposit and start the New Year off with a drastic new approach. I was challenged to lose 6% body fat in 6 weeks. It sounded more doable to me than losing 25 pounds, so I went for it. Well... I started on Wednesday 1/2/2019. I took my third class the following Monday and had already dropped 7 pounds. (I know that people say that this was just water weight. If you're overweight, you don't give a crap if it's water weight, or gas... the scale doesn't lie!) Some people on the challenge lose a lot in the beginning. Others lose it later. But if you stick with the meal plan they provide you and REALLY PUSH YOURSELF in the classes, YOU WILL SEE RESULTS. The instructors are great! As I said, I never took work out classes before. Matan, Sherman, Adolfo, Ryan (female), and Rich will PUSH you, but they are also extremely kind and supportive, as are most of the students in the classes. What could be an extremely intimidating environment, is actually a very loving and familial feeling space. Even Steven, at the front desk helped me get through. I'd speak more of the work outs, but I'm still at a loss for how I'm able to wake up at the crack of dawn to put myself through this. Honestly, I had some serious moments of prayer the first few weeks (and still), to get me through the classes. (If I hadn't have paid a deposit, there's NO WAY I would have shown up to the second class. No. Way.) You are not only learning a skill that you may need to use someday, but the cardio and endurance aspect of the workouts is really the secret to your body and mind shifting. I had NEVER been able to follow the meal plans with any other workout, and because of this challenge, I'm learning in real time (I bought my own scale) how eating different nutrients and/or junk food affects my weight. It's one thing to be told that sugar affects your weight. It's another (to lose your mind once you get off the challenge and binge on all of the crap that you couldn't eat for 6 weeks, in two days) to see the effects ingesting these items has on your body composition, in real time. Anyway.... I WON the challenge!!! I lost exactly 6% body fat and 24 pounds!!! It was VERY challenging. But honestly, if I hadn't have won the challenge, the changes and new habits that have been formed would have been worth it to me. But let's be real, if someone could PROMISE you that you would lose over 20 pounds in six weeks, and make life changing habits around food and exercise (first off, you wouldn't believe them), BUT how much would it be worth to you, if it were possible??? IT IS POSSIBLE!!! Epilogue... I will continue to "train" at KMA and Matan will continue holding me accountable to a more relaxed version of the personalized nutrition plan that he originally created for me.

    Has anyone ever completed the FREE 6 Week Challenge that they advertise on social media? If so, how was your experience and did you actually get back your deposit?

    Re the deposit: I asked before going in for the consultation and i was told that you only get your 600$ deposit back if you pay it off within 5 weeks (payment plans are available) and meet your (unspecified) goal (i'm guessing within 6 weeks).

    I have the exact same question. Are there showers, towels, and locker rooms?

    Currently- Kma is in a temp space and shares shower/towels with aerospace across the street. Once new gym opens, it will have showers/lockers/juice bars..the works!

    Are there showers/towels at this location? I've been routed to their answering service both times I've called and nobody ever seems to get back to me or know the answer...?

    No there is no shower nor towels provided. Just a change room.

I have a few injuries that impact some flexibility but generally don't limit me (for example, I play competitive tennis and used to box semi-competitively). I also stated I was just looking for general conditioning but hoped that through the strength training I could improve my structure (for example, my shoulders pull forward a little because I need to develop my back a bit). A week passes and I don't hear a thing. I send a follow-up and very quickly hear back with an e-mail response stating that they aren't a physical therapist and won't take me on as a client. I'm somewhat surprised but sent a response clarifying I wasn't looking for a physical therapist just a trainer and seeing who they could recommend. Again, I didn't hear back...I've moved on.

It's probably due to the fact that it's my first time in my life that I'm actually training at a place that employs professionals (which means every week I get my ass kicked). I've done my fair share of training through various corporate clubs and the quality of trainers can not even come close to those that work at Rich Barretta. I've had the opportunity to work with two of the trainers here and both are extremely friendly, creative with their workouts and knowledgeable. Each week I'm presented with an entirely new workout. I've never repeated any exercise in the 3 months I've been training and the new muscles I've discovered thank me (or hate me) for that. The facilities are clean and intimate. Since it's a private studio, there are no distractions (other trainers talking to your trainer, waiting for equipment, not having enough space, gym members staring at you, etc.). I feel really comfortable working out here and I'm not embarrassed to try some of the exercises my trainer wants me to do since there's no one around watching me. The prices are reasonable as well. If you're looking to train somewhere, I would 150% recommend going here rather than with a trainer in your gym.

At one point, a masseuse even asked if I was born without trap muscles because she couldn't feel them and then expressed doubt that I could lift a bottle of water over my head. This was obviously alarming, so I emailed Encore with the request of averting imminent death with a side order of vanity. And deliver they did. In the first month I saw visible changes in tone and body shape. It's been 3 months now and I feel better: more energetic and overall happier (either it's those endorphins or I'm just glad to not drop dead at any moment from a lifetime of inactivity). I also feel pretty great in a swimsuit. Throughout this, Damien has been a great guide. What I appreciate most is his experience and presence allows for the most efficient use of my time by removing decision making on my part. If I were doing this alone or in a group class, I'd waste time trying to figure out if my form was correct, if I was using something too light/too heavy, etc. Without his help I'd have spent a few fruitless months trying to work out and then give up after not seeing any results. Beginning exercising here was the best decision I made last year, and I'm slightly mad I didn't find Encore sooner and start this earlier in life.

I started seeing Matt to cut a few pounds and to break out of a lifting plateau, but during the initial consultation, Matt noticed my flexibility was poor, so he put me on an endurance and mobility program. At first, I found it tedious, boring and a distraction from my goals. But in about 2 weeks, I started to feel less sluggish and the chronic pain in my lower back started to decrease. About 6 weeks into the program, I noticed a measurable increase in muscle endurance. After about 10 weeks, I literally couldn't believe how much better I felt. For example: --It used to take me two full days of limping to recover from a rec soccer game; after Matt's program, I could do a full leg work out the very next day. --Chronic low back pain was gone --Persistent calf cramping was gone --I dropped 10 lbs --Soccer performance was improved Also worth noting, Matt tailors his motivational techniques to each client. I noticed that when he trains my friend, he barely raises his voice; whereas he screams at me to challenge me. In other words, he tells you what you need to hear to get through the workout and he understands that not everyone is motivated by screaming and yelling. I recommend his services without hesitation.
