    I have a long history in martial arts and boxing, and as I get older, I turn a lot towards cardio…read moreboxing and kickboxing classes to keep up my core health and endurance. Of course nothing can replace Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in my life, but I already train regularly where both advanced kickboxing and BJJ are taught. Title is not that gym. However, recently my grown kids have shown an interest in the cardio and training from a boxing class like Title, and honestly there are few places in the Kansas City area that can provide a consistent training experience with plenty of space and bags to handle a mixed class of beginners to advanced boxers. The location is also very convenient to at least half of us. Two of my adult children asked me to take them, so I passed out gear, showed them how to wrap up and stand and hit, and dragged them in for a few intro classes. It was not a disappointing experience! I'm not in the shape I was when I was younger, and I've been down with injuries and unable to train hard at my regular gyms, so the classes we took at Title kicked my butt nicely. My girls both enjoyed the experience as well, and it turned out there was no need for me to help them (they don't want to listen to me anyway) because the friendly staff was prepped with everything from teaching basic stances and foot movement to proper strikes and technique. They even could have provided loaner equipment and they showed them how to wrap their hands. Now... I don't wrap because I'm old and calloused and set in my ways - and in my day we used to punch bare fisted until we bled out our weakness. I don't like that they don't throw out combinations by number (naming the strikes throws me off), and I don't like that there are no kicks. I'm thinking, in my grumpy old man way, that I'm the wrong student to have in class. However, I'll tell you that treating the class like a 45 or 60 minute boot camp (time depends on which class), you can push yourself pretty hard. For me it takes getting past calling out the strike names instead of numbers, overcoming my old deaf ears trying to follow the instructions over the music, and then I got a great sweat on! Lots of ab work! Burpees rock! Lots of time to focus on basic technique! And I got to do something fun with my grown kids! I'm just gonna give this place 5 stars, because *yes*, I signed up for the unlimited plan so I can keep dropping in with my oldest two kids for some bonding, and a hard workout tailored to where my body is. If I was going to take away a star it would be because the Title membership does not transfer between locations. That's disappointing. One of my girls lives right next to another location, and she decided not to make it a regular thing because she couldn't go to the closer place without asking me to add a second membership.

    I've been boxing on my own for a few months and tried my first title class today. The staff was…read moregreat and the class was super. So fun to push myself to a new workout level. I usually like to try something for the first time with a friend but this time I just went on my own. It wasn't intimidating at all. I felt welcomed by all. I'm signing up and can't wait for my next class!

    Having moved from CA and not knowing anything about Overland Park, all I knew was I wanted to get…read moreback into shape. So I looked up the closest gym with the best schedule for me. I started at E3 August 2022 with the intent to just do personal strength training for the accountability. But out of pure curiosity about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), I signed up for an athletes challenge that included both strength training and once a week private BJJ lessons. The athletes challenge got me down over 15 pounds which I have kept off to this day. More importantly I gained more confidence and a sense of control over my body again. It surprised me how much I began enjoying the challenges of jiu jitsu and decided at the start of 2023 to commit to coming almost everyday to do both gi and Nogi classes. (Both those terms, amongst many others will start making sense when you start training). I started with the small group essentials BJJ foundation class, which helped build my confidence to do the regular classes. My concerns with starting a very physical sport in my 30s and coming from no previous martial arts experience quickly went away after adjusting over the course of a couple weeks. Everyone here at E3, from the techniques learned from my coaches to those I had the opportunity to roll with, all prepared me to compete in my first BJJ competition in May this year. The opportunity to train with top athletes from Brazil, to meet and grow with other members of the gym, and to really be part of a community that empowers individuals to feel more in tune with their body - I feel fortunate to have come across this gym. With the support of everyone at E3, you get a chance to see what you can be capable of. I truly cannot recommend it enough for anyone to try BJJ, especially with everyone here. I think the change you will see in yourself both physically and mentally will speak for itself. See you on the mats!

    I highly recommend E3 to anyone interested in giving Jiu Jitsu a try -- incredibly welcoming and…read morecompetent instructors and a great place to build confidence and get a great workout in!

    If you're like me, you're not motivated to exercise on your own. I understand, I have a $2000…read moreElliptical in my bedroom I use as a towel rack. I admit it, I'm inherently lazy and spoiled but I had to do something. I'm only 5' 7" and was 200 pounds at 53 years old, not good. So I started to workout with Charlie. Best decision ever! I struggle to find the words of how wonderful Charlie is as a person and personal trainer. I've been working with Charlie 3 times a week for over a year now. When we started I was 50 pounds overweight and 30+% body fat. Now I'm down 40 pounds and my body fat is hovering around 21 - 18%. Yes, I had to modify my drinking, not eating, slightly. So close to my goal! Our workouts are tough but always fun and full of laughs! I wear a heart monitor that reports to an app called iCardio, so I can track my progress. We started with burning 300 calories per workout, now we're up to 450 calories. It's amazing how quickly your body responds. One of the many things that makes Charlie a great personal trainer is he listens to you. If I sleep on my shoulder weird and it hurts, we'll do different exercises that won't stress out my shoulder. I have lower back and hamstring issues, if they are bothering me we'll do something that doesn't aggravate it. There's always an alternative exercise to get your heart pumping. Charlie has helped me change my life and I'm so grateful. If you need that extra push, you need Charlie. And if you think he's going to be too expensive, most other places are the same price for half the time. A nice way of saying they're twice as expensive. Invest in your health, Charlie is worth every penny!
