Been a few times so far so good. Good workout, knowledgeable instructors and the other students are friendly and easy going.
Awesome place for Self Defense and a great workout. Great instructor, friendly people.
The instructors are great, they encourage me and help me. Im not in great shape but Im able to make it through class and push myself too. As far as i can tell everyone is able to get a challenging work out no matter what shape theyre in and we learn some pretty great self defense techniques.
Great place to learn self defense, great instructors and boxing is really helping me to get into a good shape.
Had such a great experience at EVKM tonight! Derrek and his lovely wife hosted our Suns Charities 88 group for a women’s self defense class. We learn how to pull away from wrist grabs, choke holds, bear hugs and more. We also discussed the importance of situational awareness. Something EVERY woman (and man!) should learn. If you’re interested in a class like this and more, give EVKM a call or visit their website!
Second time there today, I went one time for a free event with a friend. We actually got a full class free. The prices were a little higher then I was thinking. Be self defense classes and a good gym would be close to the pricing and I can go 6 days a week if I want (my work hours wont allow that) the staff is friendly and very willing to answer any questions! Im excited to continue to my adventure here and learn how to defend myself.
I highly recommend EVMK!! I signed up just under two weeks ago and I have been attending classes almost every other day. I decided to join so I could loose some weight and learn a new martial art along the way.I have to say, all of the instructors have been amazing! They work you hard, are conscious of your fitness level, help you if you are struggling and are always super nice! You will definitely break a sweat but still have just enough energy to finish the class.Since I come from a martial arts background. Something else I like about them is they are really good at building your fundamentals! They start slow and build into combos by taking it step by step. Which may not be as exciting but it is something that is super important and necessary in any martial art. You get a real grasp of technique & control. Even how to perform it when you are exhausted by the workout.I dont have anything bad to say about how they do things here! EVMK ROCKS!
Have been training here for about a week now. One of the best places to learn self defense in Tempe.Pros -1. Instructors are well trained and know what they are doing.2. Classes are quite intensive. Your fitness level is sure to increase if you train here.3. Wide range of class timings.4. Adaptability of classes. Instead of just sticking to one style, you can mix your training with a combination of Krav Maga, Muay Thai and Kickboxing.Cons -1. Quite expensive for a student like me but its worth every penny considering they offer as much as 6 classes per week.
EVKM Tempe is a great place to train because the program is easy to understand and youll know on day one that this system is effective! Instructors are pumped up & theyll pump you up too. The format of each class is consistent and predictable so you know what to expect. Simple yet still very challenging and what a vigorous workout. I love the attitude of all the instructors and students; positive, welcoming and eager to help. This is a very serious self defense system yet they make it fun by keeping the class moving the minute you step on the floor until you step off. Love that music is incorporated in the workouts to keep the pace up.Breaking down the moves and then practicing them step by step and putting it all the steps together at the end is the format. You will sweat, you will learn & apply the moves, you will have fun. I recommend this to anyone, any age. Anyone can do this and everyone can benefit from learning this practical, effective self-defense system. Come and check it out and you will see what I mean.
Great place to learn some self defense! The instructors are helpful and clear, the workout is intense but not crazy, and everyone is really supportive and welcoming. Theres a good number of options for class times, and I appreciate that they keep track of what youve gone over at each class, since Ive learned at some places that arent that structured.
EVKM is not only an amazing self defense & fitness facility, its a place to build a community of others supporting you and your goals. The entire EVKM family is welcoming and there to help you along your journey. The instructors consistently challenge you to push harder and go farther. Not only will you get a good workout but more importantly youll be learning self defense techniques that can prepare you for any situation. As a female, this was really important to me when selecting a self defense facility. EVKM is the best out there and I highly recommend anyone to join!
I had my first class here this evening and this place is awesome. The atmosphere is very inviting and I felt like I belonged before even signing up. Everyone is extremely friendly, from the staff to the members who are training.Speaking of training... the workout was INTENSE! Ive never been to a group exercise class where I was so exhausted so quickly. That being said, the instructors definitely give you ample time to stay hydrated. A big factor for myself wanting to enlist in Krav Maga was for the fitness aspect (lose weight, gain muscle tone), and I can definitely tell that by working out here, I am going to reach my fitness goals very rapidly.I, for one, have been wanting to learn Krav Maga for many years, but either never found the time or the money; however, after spending a couple of hours at this center, what I realized was that the excuses I made in the past were only relevant because I hadnt found the right place yet. East Valley Krav Maga makes any reason for NOT doing it irrelevant.If you are like me and have wanted to get into Krav Maga (or any form of self-defense or fitness program, for that matter), but just havent found the right place yet... look no further. This is your place.
This place was amazing. I took a class with a group of girlfriends it was better than anything I expected. The husband and wife teaching team were informative, patient and effective. There were about ten of us in the class and we all left feeling like we learned how to defend ourselves. I would definitely recommend!
It was nice to have an instructor take time to understand my goals before starting my free trial class. I believe it is important to have the ability to defend myself but also find it just as important to cultivate confidence and strength. After the one-on-one introduction and trying the first class, I believe East Valley Krav Maga will be able to help me achieve these goals.Also, be ready for a work out, but dont be intimidated by your fitness level. I consider my fitness level very low but was still able to keep up with the class all the way through. It was a positive and encouraging atmosphere. I would definitely recommend East Valley Krav Maga.
During a national pandemic they refuse to work with you on their 30 day cancellation. I was charged yesterday and now they will be closed indefinitely and will not refund me. Her reason was that times are tough. Well guess what lady times are tough for everyone and you’re taking money for services I never received. Instead of communicating with you clearly they want you to create a Facebook and join their group. My internet was shut off because I lost my job and When you call them nobody answers the phone. Shady business practices, unethical, stealing money when they’re not even going to be open. News flash it’s called a charge back but instead of working with me you get a bad review and I get my money back either way.
EVKM has a great vibe and a strong team of instructors/staff. I have been active in Krav Maga for over 3 years and have attended several schools. EVKM is by far the most professional, organized, and most enjoyable school to train at. I cant wait to continue my training here and I am confident EVKM can get me to my black belt!
Ive been attending classes at EVKM for 9 months now and I can 100% without a doubt say that this is one of the best, if not the best, gym Ive ever been a part of. The staff is SUPER FRIENDLY and the trainers are AMAZING. They give you the ability to make your own schedule and go at your own pace which is great for someone like me who is traveling a lot for my job. This is awesome when I want to take classes but need versatility and flexibility in order to fit into my crazy schedule. Its a great workout every time and the best part is Im learning to defend myself! Overall this place is so much fun, with a great community of people, and a wonderful staff, youd be dumb not to join. I recommend it to everyone!
Great training great instructors.... If you want to get in shape and learn a form of self defense great place for beginners.... Staff very helpful thanks Eli
Love EVKM!! I wanted to join since I moved to Arizona two years ago and this summer I finally did! Ive been hating myself ever since for not trying it out as soon as I heard about EVKM.The facility is clean and all equipment is in good shape. The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable. Personally, I think the best part about EVKM is the atmosphere. Everyone makes you feel incredibly welcomed and encourages you to workout as hard as you can. Even if you are just a beginner you feel motivated to come out of your comfort zone and do your best!
EVKM is a great learning environment for self defense and getting in better shape. All the instructors have been friendly and knowledgeable. The culture is also very encouraging.
I just recently started classes at EVKM Self Defense & Fitness and am currently loving it!! The trainers there are very dedicated and helpful when it comes to teaching their students about self defense. The Strike Fit kickboxing classes are also super fun and is a great work out for those looking for fitness classes. Both will be sure to leave you both sweating and accomplished. Overall a great community and a very convenient location, since it is right off the lightrail and only two stops away from campus.
The class schedules at EVKM make it easy to fit into a busy lifestyle. The instructors explain the moves and give personal coaching. Everyone is friendly and always feel welcomed into class. Membership sign up is easy and convenient. AMAZING workout!!
The instructors at EVKM are awesome. I had a chance to train with several of them as a beginner. They each have their own personality and style but they all make sure you learn the techniques through drills and push you to give it your very best. They want to help you be better. I personally believe that youre only as good as the people you train with. This is true of not only the instructors but also your training partners in class. You might go in wanting to just learn self-defense but as a by product you get so much more ( discipline, confidence, friends, empowerment, weight loss, fun workout, etc). Self defense is a life skill we should all learn and hopefully never have to use.
Im a few classes in, and this place is awesome! The people (instructors and attendees) are extremely friendly and compassionate. The workouts are done at your own pace, so its possible to slow down or speed up depending how youre feeling. Ive also been impressed with the gender balance in classes. Overall, my impression is that EVKM fosters a warm, welcoming, and accepting community. The membership is a bit pricey on a budget, but so far EVKM has made me feel great so it has been a worthwhile investment.
This place is amazing! For all you who are also fitness freak, trust me you’re not just learning an art but it’s a great overall body workout. I never experienced that before joining this place, I mean I used gym and lift weights but the amount of sweat I lose in this place is real. I actually got results out of this place and dropped almost 6% body fat in mere 6 weeks which is absolutely amazing! Great people as well.
Amazing instructors and awesome community! Then there is the classes, high intensity workouts combining total body with mental training. Exhilarating and addictive workout for anyone of any age! Kids classes are fantastic! Definitely bringing my nieces and nephew for Kids Krav! They learn self defense and anti bully tactics and have a blast doing it. Self esteem and sanity builder for the whole family. Super fun, I have more energy after a workout than before!
My husband has been going here for over a year... he has become super confident and more fit than when we got married. I decided to try it out and have been going everyday for a week. Muscles I didnt even know existed hurt in a good way. I will definitely continue to come here not just for workouts but also to learn self defense. Staff are friendly and you get a variety of instructors which makes it more dynamic.
Excellent workout with a really fun and vibrant crowd! I came for the self defense training, and am staying for the camaraderie and motivation for completing tough workouts.You will learn useful strategies from your very first class. A good mix of all sorts of people, who take KM for lots of different reasons. I started with ZERO martial arts training, and a low fitness level, but the instructors and other students have been absolutely supportive (constructive comments only, and plenty of fist bumps from new sparring pals).Drink loads of water, dress to SWEAT!
Have been at attending EVKM classes for a year now and really enjoy the workout and environment. The instructors and other students really make EVKM very inviting and encouraging. Its understood that people are learning at different levels of fitness and skill. I came in with no prior experience in martial arts and felt empowered/more confident after just my first few months of classes. I am now more fit than I was graduating high school... More muscle mass and slimmer than Ive been in 10 years too.
I joined EVKM a few months ago, transferred from a different school to this one. I have to say the instructors are very knowledgeable . They are also very patient with their students, ensuring that the instruction is clear for greater understanding. Lastly - They are very welcoming to everyone and camaraderie is encouraged, which makes for a better learning environment!
My friend recommended me to take classes here so I tried it out and it was honestly the best decision ever. The instructors make the classes and techniques easy to follow. 100% would recommend to everyone.
Just joined a week ago. This place is really solid. The people here are warm and friendly, but will work, train and push you to your limits, and sometimes pass. They focus on not only goals for training, but life goals attached to the training! I am definitely happy to be back into a routine, as well as learning amazing, real-life scenario, decision making skills!
Had my first trial class, instructors were patient and informative. recruiter was also friendly and listened to what I was looking for. Felt very welcome and I look forward to training here!
EVKM is amazing! I joined Krav Maga classes here. Everyone at EVKM was so nice and friendly. I felt welcome as soon as I walked in the door. I would recommend EVKM to all out there! I am getting stornger for every class
From minute one of the first class it doesnt feel like a workout. it feels like fun. for me its working towards a goal and gaining a skill and I feel like this is the place to be, and all the instructors are the people to help me move towards those ends. added bonus: I legitimately have no desire to smoke a cigarette right now. its hard work, but nothing good comes easy. I cant wait to really immerse myself in the discipline. A++
I had my first class tonight and it was AMAZING! I feel great and I feel a little more prepared. The instructors were just spectacular and I felt like they really cared about me as a person and their goal was for me to succeed. My fellow classmates were just as awesome, super supportive. They have classes for anyones schedule. I recommend this school to anyone who wants to get fit and learn self defense, or just anyone who wants to make a positive change in their life. I cant wait for my next class! =)
Im new to EVKM and was nervous to try something so new and different, but the staff ended up being so welcoming and helpful! I have never felt so empowered in a fitness class before. I felt like a new person after just one class. I cant wait to go back next week! This is a great place if you are looking to learn skills in self defense, stay active, meet new people, and let off steam! You definitely wont be disappointed!
Such an awesome experience!!! Came for a women’s self defense class and learned A TON. I highly recommend this for any woman. It’s not intimidating at all, and is super applicable for everyday situations.
Good coaches. I had some difficulty getting follow up when cancelling, but when you decide to cancel, do it RIGHT AWAY! Also, could EVKM please have online forms for signing up and cancelling? Its difficult to plan when one is so far away and the hours of this location are sporadic.
I signed up for Krav Maga and kickboxing at this place in order to get my fitness to the next level. I’m a runner and hit a ceiling with my fitness. Now I’m still running around 5 miles per day, while also doing classes 2-3 days per week and I’ve noticed a huge change in my body already. If you want to learn defensive measures and get your body into tip top shape, join EVKM. You won’t be disappointed.
Honestly one of the best place to get your cardio done if you hate running on treadmills! And you get to learn real self defense in the process too. The instructors are super friendly and the atmosphere this gym gives off is just outback of this world. You come out a better person each time. Highly recommend to join!
I was always a little nervous to take any kind of self defense or martial art class, but I felt right at home as soon as my first session at EVKM started. New students are encouraged to start slow or at their own pace and always recieve the proper amount of attention and instruction. Then as you get more comfortable, you are challenged more. Fellow students are very welcoming and cautious with any kind of limitations you may have. I have been a member for about 9 months I have enjoyed every class and every instructor I have had so far, and am very excited to take on new challenges.
Been going here for a little over 6 months now and have loved every moment. Not only is each class packed with useful information and techniques but each instructor is devoted in making sure you learn it right. Such a great environment of people who want to be healthy and stay safe!
Great training place. Instructors were knowledgeable, very patient and helpful. Their cardio kickboxing classes were fun, challenging and really pushed students to work hard. Although I had a minor hiccup regarding cancelation, it was my fault for not reading the fine print carefully. However, after speaking with Eli, he was kind and understanding of my situation to help me resolve the issue. I highly recommending EVKM to anyone interested in taking self-defense class.
EVKM is amazing! I loved the pace of the Krav Maga class! Everyone at EVKM was so nice and very personable. I felt welcome as soon as I walked in the door. I would recommend EVKM to all of my friends!
Extremely friendly and helpful staff, clean facility, not overly pushy with selling the membership (the free trial class sold me and had me hooked instantly), great confidence builder, and real world self defense tactics! I would recommend this to anyone looking to learn self defense, get in shape, meet some great people, or build confidence. I could keep going, but you should go check it out for yourself
My daughter did 6months, worth every dollar money well spent. Left due to moving but will be back in for the summer again. Nothing negative to say. Eli is the man to see always taken care of my concerns, questions, payment changes. He goes above an beyond. Thank you Eli.
Great gym! Been here 2 months and love it! Been at other Krav gyms before this that kinda just throw you into the deep end with techqniques and weponds defenses. This program takes the proper time to build the fundimentals before adding more advanced techniques, which may not be the most exciting but its the right way to do it and I feel confident in the training I get here.
I took my first class recently and had a great experience. The staff was very friendly and well informed. They were as comfortable talking with me about the membership aspect as they were the martial art itself, which made the entire process much more pleasant and easy for me. The class was very high energy and the other students in the class were as willing to help where they could as the instructor was. Before my class someone walked through some basic moves and terms with me so that I wouldnt be completely lost and doubled checked with me before class started that I was ok. Even if a Krav Maga gym opens up closer to where I live I believe I wold pass it over to go to East Valley. I am sold on their excellent staff!
Ive been coming here for almost two years and love it. Im a single female and wanted to take some more advanced / extreme self defense classes. Im thankful that I havent had to use any of it yet in real life, but its nice to know Im slowing collecting an arsenal of techniques. Its a process, but you keep building as you go, so I still go!
This is the one place you want to go if you are a looking to get a great workout, learn self defense techniques that may save your life, and be apart of a community that wants to help you learn and grow. EVKM teaches you how to defend yourself in real life situations from real life attackers. I have gotten more energy and endurance since day one. You continue to feel the results from every class you attend. My endurance is a lot better in just a few classes, and the techniques they show you almost become 2nd nature. It is a wonderful program with an amazing team of instructors. I recommend it to everyone who wants to better challenge themselves and learn some things along the way.
I have been coming here for awhile now and I really love it. We learn really effective methods of self-defense; like against chokes, mounts and in the advanced classes - we learn to defend against gun, stick, knife, rifle. I now feel more confident in defending myself if I am put in such a situation. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who wants to learn self-defense.
Just had my first experience here and I was blow away! The staff is super friendly and very helpful. They help you get right into it and you are able to join right in with everyone else as if you had been there more than once. This is a great place if your looking for self defense lessons plus a amazing work out! Highly recommend checking it out!
From the first class, I was hooked and signed up right away. Excellent staff with a focus on great student experience. Im very confident in the abilities of the staff and that I can achieve my goals with Krav Maga.
I had a recent eye opening experience when I stepped on a scale a few weeks ago. The first thing I thought of was getting back to EVKM. I had attended for a few years and left due to life getting in the way. Decided to join back up to lose the dad bod, and realized how much I missed it. Lost 5 lbs my first week! Dont hesitate and come join us, you wont regret it!
This place is the best, I’m so glad I joined this community! Everyone is super welcoming, the instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful, and it’s a great way to mix up your workout while learning new and useful skills 💪🏻
I just started training here a few weeks ago but what Ive seen so far is an awesome group of people with skill, dedication, loyalty, integrity and great business ethics. I believe this is a place to develop and master your skills in self defense. One thing that I really like is the communication from the instructors. they really make sure that the students know what is going on with the school.
I love this place. The instructors seems to be very knowledgeable about what they are doing. One of the most ting I like about it, that its a no judgment zone people from all ages, genders and sizes go to the same classes and still can keep up. Everyone is friendly. Finally, its a really intense course. Totally worth signing up
When I came home after years of being gone, I was stoked to see this place still going strong and seeing how much its expanded. Every instructor Ive had the pleasure to meet has been amazing, and Im looking forward to continuing my experience here. Its a great workout and leaves you feeling pretty empowered with the knowledge they give you on self-defense.
EVKM is not only the best for getting amazing Krav Maga training but it is a great community of people. I have never been big on group fitness activities but I was hooked from day one. Its coming up on three years that I have been a member of EVKM and I cant imagine my life without it or the people I not only get to train with but call friends. The instructors and other members l push and motivated you to be the best you can be. I cant say enough great things about EVKM, the instructors and the community of people that make up EVKM.
Workouts are fun and challenging. You forget the time as you focus on the challenge ahead. The instructors know when to push you and when to back off. Eli the manager is always enthused about the place and is always encouraging.
Ive waited to write a review after exposing myself to a couple classes and arriving early to watch the latter-half of more experienced martial artists. The staff here is very friendly and knowledgeable. Also, the students are friendly and patient. I thoroughly enjoy martial arts and am thrilled to begin training Krav Maga here!
I just completed the 6 week challenge and I loved it. Every class was challenging and an adventure into my own body. I was trying things Id never done before and my body responded positively. I enjoyed the challenge so much that I decided to continue with the East Valley Krav Maga monthly membership. I had never done Krav before, the instructors broke the movements down into easy to learn segments that made me keep wanting to learn more. I feel much more confident walking down the street alone with the moves Ive learned thus far and Im excited to learn even more. If you havent tried it, it is definitely worth it. Your body and mind will thank you.
This is a great place to learn Krav Maga. The instructors are very supportive and encouraging creating an atmosphere that allows you to be comfortable with everyone in the class. They emphasize the need to be respectful of others which adds to the welcoming atmosphere rather than making it a competitive one. They do, however, encourage you to be competitive with yourself and challenge yourself so you can improve your fitness and fighting skills. It is fun, challenging, intense and to top it off you are learning extremely valuable self-defense skills. What more could you ask for.
EVKM is an awesome gym for first timers. The staff is incredibly warm and helpful when instructing people who have no combat experience, and making them feel like they can acclimate to the class. They also have a very open and accommodating schedule and make it easy to attend classes around any schedule.
I cant express how much I enjoy this class! All instructors are skilled, helpful and involved. They encourage the class to do their best from using proper form to getting the most out of each class. Theres always a good energy in the place and all classmates seem to want to be there and help each other succeed.
East Valley Krav Maga is one of the best work out experiences Ive ever had. You sweat, learn self defense, make friends, and have a ton of fun. Everyone is very friendly and supportive of each other. You can work at your own pace feel no judgement from other members because everyone is there to better themselves.Cheers to practical self defense!
I have been a student of EVKM for 3 years and just recently became an instructor and I still look forward to every class. EVKM works really hard to give their students everything they need to defend themselves. The instructors want to be there and will meet you at your comfort zone, but also push you. Students range from 4 years old to 75. I highly recommend this facility if you are looking for a place to learn self defense and get an awesome workout. Dont let the fact that this is a combat contact sport scare you off. You can take the classes at your own pace and the students are willing to work with you and the instructors make sure that this is a safe facility to learn self defense without getting hurt. Your first trial class is free, so why not just try it out?! Be safe out there.
An awesome place to learn a practical self defense system that is applicable on the street. The workouts are fun and intense. Youll definitely get into shape. Great instructors and supportive classmates and no egos. Come and see for yourself...
Friendly and knowledgeable staff and instructors. Great training in a clean facility with a diverse group of all ages.
I just recently started here and was very nervous for my first class, but the staff and people who train here were extremely inviting and made it so much fun. They match you up with someone who will work well with you at first and encourage you to say if its too challenging or not challenging enough. Im super excited to continue to train here.
Checked it out this week and was very impressed. Everyone is very helpful from staff to members. After trying it out I joined up. Great workout and its a useful skill to learn. I highly recommend at least giving the first class for free a try to see if this is right for you.!
I just recently joined, but so far the experience has been a positive one. The members have been welcoming and encouraging. The class is set up so there is a good mix of working on technique and building stamina and power.
Wonderful. Ive been kind of burned out from just lifting or cardio alone and have always wanted to get involved in this type of activity. Its a beautiful, clean gym with excellent instructors. Everyone is beyond friendly, no need to be shy or nervous. Youll leave your first class dripping in sweat and all smiles. Very empowering across the board, and it was fantastic to see all ages, sizes, and athletic abilities there. Im so glad I signed up with EVKM and I really look forward to how much Ill learn over the next few years. Highly recommended!
Signed up for a free trial class at Comic Con, best decision Ive made of 2016. I loved it. You get an intense solid workout while learning practical self defense. The instructors and other members were so friendly and inviting I signed up on the spot. Dont sleep on Krav Maga, check it out!!!
This place is phenomenal! The instructors and the whole team that run this place, truly care about you and your goals. If you are brand new (like me) or a pro, you will LOVE it here!
Ive trained in martial arts and self-defense studios from California to Chicago, and EVKM is a very special place. Chief instructor Derrek Hofrichter masterfully mixes practical self-defense with fun community, and the diverse staff gives you plenty of opportunities to connect on a personal level. If youre a busy person, like me, the robust schedule means you can always find a time to train. A+
Came out to an All Levels class this past Saturday and absolutely loved it!! The environment is totally encouraging and open!! Highly recommend to those who want to learn self defense or even just get in a good workout!!
Ive been going to EVKM for a while now....its hands down the coolest place and best workout. Where else can you go to hit things as hard as you want and no one says anything. On top of that you learn about self defense and have fun with like minded people. Also everyone is super helpful and encourages you to work harder
If I lived closer, I would be at this gym every day! Today, I drove an hour and 20 minutes to do a 6:30 AM class, and I have no regrets, it was the best workout ever! This mornings workout out was definitely a high-intensity workout, but I learned self-defense moves in the process, so I would say that is a win-win. The instructors and staff are great, and if you live in the area, this is a must gym.
This is the one place you want to go if you want to get a great workout, learn self defense techniques that may save your life, and have a community that wants help you learn and grow. EVKM teaches you how to defend yourself in real life situations from real life attackers. I have gotten more energy and endurance since day one and can tell the results from every class i go to. I am not saying that you can automatically see a weight loss difference, that comes with time, but i can tell that my endurance is a lot better than what it used to be and the techniques they show you suddenly become second nature. It is a wonderful class with an exceptional instructor team. i recommend it to everyone who wants to better challenge themselves and learn some things along the way.
EVKM is great. Everyone including the staff are very friendly and the facility itself is very clean. Awesome instructors as well. You get a good workout by learning the self defense you want. Highly recommend it!
Extremely excited to have found this place! Very welcoming environment, and embracing of new comers. Also a great work out, no dozing in these classes..or youll wind up getting punched in the face. Rates are also very affordable :)
Went to my first class at EVKM and walked away with a 12 month membership. The facility is clean, the equipment is in good shape and everyone there was friendly and helpful. If you are looking to learn self-defense and get a great workout, check them out.
I love this place so much!! The instructors and people are so kind and I feel like I’m learning actual skills rather than just choreography like basic martial arts. I highly recommend.
A great place! I just started and Im loving it.
So far, everything has been great! You have some freedom to move at your own pace, but the instructors will challenge you. and keep you on your toes. And it is a lot more fun than doing cardio at the gym (and probably a better work out).
Love this place! Had been putting this off for a long time but finally went in for the free trial class. I am so glad I did! Signed up that night and have been 3 times a week since. Feels great, people are wonderful and welcoming, all skill levels are encouraged (I knew nothing about striking), and you learn very practical skills. Cant recommend enough!
Totally a great self defense school, i would recommend it to anyone who wants to get in great shape and feel good. Great instructors that always make sure your on top of things learning the right methods to stay safe! 5 star school
What a fantastic work out! Been a member for four months and have already lost more than 40lbs! Great people and awesome atmospbere. Plenty of classes to attend the whole week. Sign up and get back in shape! They have a kids program as well which has brought my sons self esteem up like nothing else could have. And that is priceless to me!
Yesterday was my first day. I was able to speak one on one with an instructor, meet a few of the current members, and try a class. I can already tell I will have the support, encouragement, and proper training that Im looking for. There is a sense of culture and unity here that you dont find anywhere else. Im feeling more confident already and Im looking forward to this journey.
EVKM is a great place to come work out and learn some vital self defense moves. Its great for the whole family! The instructors and fellow participants are all very welcoming and encouraging.
I had to leave due to huge workload in school and there has not been a single day that I dont miss this place. Kickboxing classes are the most fun and is like a total body workout. I would prefer it over gym unless you are a bodybuilder. They keep mixing the exercises, the workout doesnt get repetitive and every time I go there I feel I am reborn again.
I love this place. It is addicting, be careful! Everyone is so nice and supportive at EVKM. All instructors are invested in each student and want you to succeed. Stuff are always welcoming and ready to help. Very happy with my decision for the Krav school!
East Valley Krav Maga has completely revolutionized the way I think of working out. The 1-hr classes are packed with easy to learn self-defense moves and fun yet intense drills. As a student, you’re so focused on learning the skills that may one day save your life that it’s easy to forget you’re actually putting in a really good work out.Be fearless!
I love this place! Everyones friendly, calls me by first name and makes me comfortable. I joined to learn how to defend myself and boost my confidence, little did I know how much I would love it. The classes are fun and a great way to exercise, I highly recommend East Valley Krav Maga to anyone wanting to try it out!!
Decided to look at a martial art to assist in the healing after having 2 surgeries. And I could not have asked for a better place to walk into. I arrived early and was still helped with paperwork and sitting down with staff right off the bat. And then once the class started and I got to start moving around it was even better. Although there were more people than i expected in the class it still was a good experience and convinced me to find a way to start taking the classes. Great job over all. Thanks everyone at EVKM.
EVKM is the place to train! From learning reality based self defense and close quarters combat to improving your level of fitness they help you get it done. From my first class I was hooked.
I was super impressed by my first trial class. I learned a lot in just an hour, all while having a great workout and feeling amazing. Just joined their classes the other day, and I’m super excited for my journey with them!Everyone has been so nice and helpful with any questions I’ve had so far, so I highly recommend.
