Frequently asked Questions
What types of participants are there?
Amateur, Professional, and Recreational. The amateur competes for awards, the professional competes for money, and the recreational student doesn't compete at all. Instead, he or she participates for the enjoyment and benefits that being in top mental and physical shape brings to their life. Strength, stamina and agility, combined with newfound confidence, determination and drive will have you ready to take on all of life's challenges, and bring out the champion in you. Approximately 80% of our school is Recreational and our students are all adults with about a 50/50 ratio of men and women.
Do I have to be in good shape to start?
No, most of our members are struggling with their fitness and that is
what led them to us. We have a unique program that will challenge but
not overwhelm a new student and will assure that they end up with the
body of their dreams!
I am not very athletic. Will I be able to learn?

Will there be other beginners there beside me?

Who will be my teachers?
Our chief Trainer is Ray Sarkine. Kru Ray has taught for almost 25 years and has over 34 years experience!
