Mondays, Wednesdays, and now Saturdays...I question my life choices every time, but somehow keep coming back. It's a no-frills gym, which I actually love, no fancy changing rooms or spa water, just good people and solid training. The variety of classes is great (even though I've only made it to Sash's and the intro to Muay Thai), and if you stick with it, you will definitely see results. If you're looking for a place that pushes you, makes you sweat, and occasionally makes you wonder why you paid for this kind of pain, then this is it.

I only visited once, so I normally would not leave a gym review based on a single visit. However,…read moresomething about this place felt off enough that I think it is worth mentioning. This is, for the most part, an unstaffed gym. I genuinely do not understand the business model/ value proposition. This is a 24-hour facility for members, but the space is extremely small, about the size of a one-bedroom apartment. There is only one bathroom, no shower, and no changing room, yet the membership costs over $200 per month. The workout itself is self-guided kickboxing, with about 8 to 9 stations and monitors telling you what to do. You work out on your own, so it could be just you in the entire gym, or you may end up sharing the space with another member(s) and rotating through the stations together. From what I understood, staff are NOT on site for most of those 24 hours (cost reduction). Trainers are only present during very limited windows, and if you happen to come during those times, they may help with your form. What does not seem well thought out is the overall setup: a 24-hour facility with no staff and no security on site for most of the time. *** I do not think they thought through the safety aspect of this setup. I would definitely not feel comfortable or safe using this facility during unstaffed hours. Unstaffed gyms raise several safety concerns: unauthorized access/tailgating, personal safety risks including harassment or assault, and the lack of immediate response in a medical emergency. At that price, I would expect not only better amenities and greater exercise variety, but also a much stronger sense of safety, supervision, and overall value. This basically feels like a small apartment gym with a few specialized kickboxing stations and no security on site for over $200/month.

I started taking the Krav Maga classes because I could take a class at the same time my 10-year-old…read moreson was taking the kid's Krav class. It allowed me to get an extra hour of a workout in during the week and now I'm hooked! Krav is a real world self-defense that makes me feel strong and prepares me for real life situations. ASD also offers many other classes and so many talented instructors! Coach Shayne has been a big influence on myself and my husband. He continues to help us learn proper fighting techniques. Andrea is an awesome coach who continues to amaze us! Amit, Troy, Chris, Sergey, Marziya, and Jason have all taught me so much in Krav. Ilya's Hyrox and Fighter Flow classes are fun and a great workout! He also has a cook book that explains easy and healthy recipes! Manny's Boot Camp/kickboxing classes are always intense and will leave you sore. James' DEKA class was creative, hard and definitely worth a try! My son has enjoyed the Kids Krav classes....thank you James, Andrea, Anh and Marziya for teaching the big group of kids! I love watching him come home and practice and share what he learned. We often compare what we are all doing in class during the week. I can't forget Neal, the owner! And Carrie at the front desk! They always make us feel welcome and at home! I joined the Locked In For Summer Challenge that they organized at ASD. It has helped me stay focused on my nutrition and fitness goals. And has helped me meet some new friends! Overall, ASD is a super special place. I'm so glad my family found it and I'd recommend it to anyone interested!

I came to this gym on their trial period, and I have to say, they are VERY generous with the 2-week…read morefree trial, which is honestly pretty rare! What I really liked about this gym was the variety of classes they offer. You can try different types of workouts and figure out what you enjoy without having to commit right away. They also let you borrow gloves and other equipment for free during the trial classes, which I thought was a really nice touch. I ended up trying the HIIT and DEKA classes, which were my favorites, and most of the coaches I had were really great. Unfortunately, my experience with one of the kickboxing classes wasn't as good. I specifically asked multiple times beforehand if it was okay that I was a complete beginner, and I was told that it was totally fine. However, when I showed up, pretty much everyone else already knew what they were doing, so I naturally felt a little intimidated. I also wasn't given much guidance despite being a first-timer. What really bothered me was that the coach called me "silly" when I wasn't able to follow the instructions. I understand that a fast-paced class can be challenging for beginners, but I didn't think making fun of someone who was trying something for the first time was appropriate, and it definitely put a damper on the experience. One other thing I wish they had was a proper locker room or changing area. They have gender-neutral bathrooms, but they didn't feel clean or comfortable enough to change clothes in, especially if you're coming straight from work. I really liked the variety of classes and the generous trial period, and most of my experiences with the coaches were positive. I just wish the beginner experience was a little more welcoming and that they had a better space for changing.

Students are nice across all levels, and they will adjust if you let them know about an injury, no Hunger Games here, we're all just trying to get better, one day at a time 3) Questions are encouraged, instructors will give you variations of moves if body types are an issue with executing certain movements 4) They understand people have meetings or life that comes up, shit happens 5) Everyone showers, including the mats. 6) Jiu-jitsu evolves, and they understand that we all have to evolve with it 7) Pricing is reasonable, on par with other gyms. Cheaper if you get the one-year deal Good laughs, good times, good rolls. Plus if you're worried about Covid, I've been wearing a mask in all my rolls and I haven't gotten shit for it, and partners will wait for you to put it back on if it falls off during training. There is also a free one week trial if you're on the fence, so no need to commit to something you aren't comfortable with. They make it easy to love the sport. See you on the mats! Edit: Forgot to mention that membership at the Santa Clara location also gives you free access to the San Jose location.

If you want to start your martial-arts journey or are looking to take it to the next level, TAMA…read morecan be just the place for you. It teaches the martial arts, including Jeet Kune Do, Filipino Martial Arts and Muay Thai, that I feel you will want to be fit and have fun and need if you're more interested in practical self-defense. Sifu Adrian, the head instructor, is an outstanding teacher, who has deep knowledge in the martial arts and self-defense and understands the differences between the two. Probably just as or even more important, Sifu has a genuine desire for each of his students to progress and fosters an environment where everyone helps and learns from each other no matter what rank you might be. In addition, Sifu's assistant instructors such as Sihing Steven and Sihing Hadi are dedicated, well-experienced teachers and martial artists. Another great thing about TAMA is that it gives you access to learning directly from world-renowned masters such as Guro Dan Inosanto and Sifu Francis Fong through seminars at the school or trips to where these living legends are holding workshops. In the end, everyone needs to carve out his or her own martial-arts path, and TAMA certainly can help you with that.

Before Tandez, I was with another club for seven years but wanted to explore something different. Tandez offers a range of martial arts, including Kali/Silat, Kali/Combat, Jeet Kune Do/MMA, and Boxing/Muay Thai. What truly sets this place apart is Sifu Tandez and his team of instructors. Sifu is a highly skilled, knowledgeable leader who genuinely cares about his students and their progress. The instructors are also exceptional--they're skilled, dedicated, and really know their stuff. I love coming here to learn; the training is practical, the atmosphere is friendly, and the group is always fun to be around.
