As a longstanding UFC fan, I have always loved martial arts, and have studied several different…read moredisciplines; however i couldn't wait for the UFC Waterfront gym to open. I signed up for the Champion membership specifically so I could take Coach Joao Martinez's kickboxing and Muay Thai class and Coach Micheangelo's boxing classes, and they have both over-delivered so far above my high expectations!! Coach Joao Martinez is one of the most knowledgeable, effective and intuitive martial arts instructors I have ever had trained with. He expertly introduces both basic and more advanced techniques to beginners and more experienced students simultaneously, seamlessly adjusting the class to each student's skill level with a well balanced curriculum that provides a strong foundation of skills, then builds upon it, with emphasis on the practical application of each skill. During personal training sessions, Coach Joao further customized his approach to address my unique weight loss challenges, while emphasizing & modifying specific techniques and drills based on my goals, and encouraging me to evolve. I changed my schedule to attend as many classes as possible, as each session is an invaluable interactive learning experience! Coach Michaelangelo Turner is a spectacular Boxing Instructor, and been equally encouraging, accessible, and supportive. Coach Michealangelo 's high energy classes not only provide amazing conditioning, but also help students develop and refine boxing and footwork techniques using a variety of drills using heavy bags, mitt work and partner work. He is a force of positive energy, a natural motivator, and always makes himself available to answer questions on boxing technique, conditioning and nutrition. The UFC gym is clean, has a nice variety of good quality equipment, offers a red light sauna, amazing recovery room amenities, and friendly, helpful, & approachable staff. However the differentiating factor that makes UFC Waterfront so superior to the other gyms and martial arts schools in the region is the quality of personalized training provided by Coach Joao and Coach Michaelangelo; they are helping me acheive my goals. I have memberships to other gyms, but will maintain my membership at UFC Waterfront to take Coach Joao, Kim, and Michealangelos's spectacular classes.

I really enjoy this gym! They have a variety of classes, good equipment, and great coaches. I took…read moreCoach Michelangelo's boxing class when I first started and am still taking his classes now. He is such a great coach! He manages to teach an entire class while noticing your individual strengths and areas you can focus on to grow, and easily describes them. He is encouraging, but motivating. He seems to know your limits, so he pushes you, but respects your level. He goes above and beyond and does things like recommend certain boxers to watch that fit your goals or areas to work on, or gives you specialized combos. I will continue coming to this gym as long as he keeps coaching! Take one of his classes or get private lessons with him! I have also looked into Muay Thai recently and look forward to taking one of Coach Joao's classes! He seems very skilled and organized, which I appreciate for starting something so new. I've seen his classes and the way he works with students, and the gym is lucky to have him! The coaches are what make this gym successful, so I hope these two continue teaching and helping me grow!

Ryan's NASM certification means he has acquired the knowledge and the skill to tailor an approach to address your specific fitness needs in both exercise and nutrition. Ryan conducts himself in a professional manner, has an engaging personality, and a great sense of humor. He's 100% focused on you during sessions and is able to motivate without being overbearing. He will constantly exceed your expectations for a fitness trainer because he genuinely cares about your well-being and he honestly wants you to succeed. When the training session is over, he's still thinking about you. Expect emails or texts between sessions to keep you on track. How do I know all of this? Last November, I weighed 300 lbs and was lost trying to lose weight on my own. I started with Ryan and a year later I am at 235 lbs and continuing to lose weight. I couldn't have done it without him. More importantly, Ryan has taught me how to make permanent lifestyle changes that will ensure I won't put the weight back on. I have a new perspective on healthy living thanks to Ryan.
