He not only writes such personalized workouts and meal plans, he cares so much about the health and well being of his clients first and foremost. I also love how Marvin never forgets our connection to God, because we couldn't compete in this sport without Him. Marvin helps remind us of this and not only helps his clients with body, but with mind and soul. He is like a personal trainer/life coach in one beautiful soul. He was my coach for my third bikini competition and the package we brought was better than expected. I had such a great time on prep, and not many people can say that. He made prep educational and a whole lot of fun. We did the last show as a family, my husband, my stepdaughter and myself, and he brought us closer than I ever imagined! i Am LIfT is a community, whatever your goals, Marvin's got you covered. He also teaches box and burn two times a week, so that's just an added bonus! I can't say enough about what a great person Marvin is. I'm so happy I found him.

I've been going to this place for exactly one year and boy it has been an amazing place to be in! I…read moredid have reallllly epic pictures and reviews before but Yelp had deleted the previous page (the business owner consolidated the pages for all Elite branches and deactivated them so the owner can manage them 'officially'), and I have to start from scratch. Let me just say this is my background: -- I learned Muay Thai when I was in middle school but it only lasted 3 months since it was only a summer thing my parents wanted my siblings and I to do. -- In college, I took a cardio kickboxing class for 1 semester and I thought it was pretty nice but not a lot of self-defence (none at all actually!). It was taught by a really exuberant and energetic trainer and she (I believe to this day) still teaches cheerleading. Yes. My fitness instructor in college was a cheerleader coach as well!!! -- Lastly, I played college sports, so I had my coach along with my fitness trainer. They taught us how to train well and eat well. However, no self-defense discipline. Now, to the review: I ran across Elite MMA by accident since I was interested in doing martial arts again but I really needed the motivation to go to the mats. My type of work does not allow a lot of flexibility and it involves working at night, therefore, I'm usually tired by the time I get on, or lacked a lot of sleep, or I'm pretty much starving since my sleep/meal schedule is always changing. I am very good at reading people well (it's part of my occupation) and I must say I have never met such a personable Coaches like Robert and Julian. 1) They are very passionate about their students and their wellbeing --- if I ever had kids of my own in the future, I would feel comfortable having these guys train them on how to roll. I also watch Robert with his own kid, and I must say he loves him to death --- note to parents: if a man cannot manage his household in a loving way, how can you expect him to care for yours? 2) They are very active in BJJ and encourages ALL of us to continue training all year long. Robert and Julian also compete so they continuously learn new things and teach us new moves. This leads to the next topic: 3) The Coaches train us to roll SAFELY! This is very important to me since I am familiar of other gyms/fitness centres that do not care about your personal well-being, (and dare I say it!?), just want your money! If I can tell that they're pressuring me to join them, I'll just refuse their offer since my health is more important than being out of the job. 4) Accountability. When you're missing for more than 1 week, they send you an email to see how you're doing. If Robert has your mobile number, he'll make sure to check that you're ok. If I'm having difficulty going to class because of work or I'm ill, all I need to do is let them know and it will put Robert and Julian at ease :-D 5) They have monthly events going on all the time. There are competitions and belt promotions going on. Families enjoy it and are having a blast. You should check out their "Lock-ins!" There are pizza, movies, and fun games for the kids! 6) Lastly, I can't thank Robert and Julian and the rest of the guys and gals for their friendships. They promote healthy relationships in this branch of Elite (I am not sure how the other branches are like). Going to a BJJ gym like Elite is worth it if you can always look forward to meeting your classmates there. Bonus: They also have cardio kick boxing! I have not done that myself (I would but it's just overkill for me on top of what I have on my plate!) Overall, check them out and have fun! Coach Robert and Julian, (and pretty much all the guys/gals/teens) will make you feel at home. I have never regretted ever joining them and I will sorely miss them. I learned to be disciplined and to be able to take care of myself in all situations :-D

David Mains, Mr. IPT, is the man with my top trainer quality, scientific command of physiology and…read moredecades of experience training for survival and fitness. I convinced my sedentary spouse to accompany me (emotional blackmail) to my first session. I had completed a untiversity weight training course for older adults in 1986 but knew old bodies and new approaches mandated more education in 2025. I told David, "I'm here for 6 months to learn the new stuff for my old body and then, sayonara." BUT David has been so motivating, amusing and educating, after a year, I recently added a second training day (spouse added a simultaneous IPT massage). I have never belonged to a gym or a group of any kind- so why IPT? Mainly a dedication to health and physical ability at whatever level you are. For decades I worked out compulsively on my own - and if IPT vanished I still would. BUT with IPT, David's guidance, I want to do more, have greater strength, balance, stamina and I experience all of those things more with IPT putting my finger on the effort scale.

Self-confidence, physical fitness, patience, discipline, respect for others, self-defense,…read moreemotional stability... your kid will get all of this and more. Girls excel at this sport and actually out-perform boys until they are at least 10 years old. Start them at 6, and maybe add some muy thai or boxing etc at 9 or 10 too. Do not try to coach. Do not offer advice. Support without opinions, and maybe try it out yourself. Sit back and watch the magic happen... it will. Don't care if it actually helps in a self defense situation? Want your kid to be a pretend martial arts master? Become a "black belt" after 5 or 6 years? If that is the goal, you can get your kid into karate or tae kwon do or kung fu or whatever... Just make sure they don't try to use it in a fight with someone who can actually fight. And do not expect them to get the same lessons in humility and respect that they will learn first hand in bjj. Ravlin has it all.
