The first rule of Fight Club is ALWAYS talk about Fight Club... this has become a running joke with my friends and family, because I seriously will not shut up about awesome Titan Gym is. I've never been a "gym membership" sort of person, but Titan has hooked me in a way no other gym or exercise plan has ever done. Each class you attend is more than just exercise, you're learning a skill. So each class you see something new, or you get a little better at something you've tried before. This isn't the academic, largely unrewarding "I lifted 5 pounds more than last week" or "I cut 12 seconds off my long run". It's visceral; "I can feel my kicks getting stronger", "my headlock from the side defense is smoother and more instinctive than last week"!
What really sets Titan apart, however, is the people. The instructors are knowledgeable, passionate, and invested in the success and safety of their students. Moreover the culture of the gym as a whole is actively welcoming to all, fit and not-yet-fit, old and young, experienced practitioner and first-timer, in a way that surprises and revitalizes me every time I come in. It's an odd sensation for me to be proud of a gym membership. Not just proud that I got off my butt, but proud that I'm earning a place among these amazing and talented people.
In short: Come for the workout, Stay for the community. If you're looking at reviews because you're considering joining Titan Gym, my advice is to call them now. My only regret in joining is that I spent too long reading about them online when I could have been taking classes. Seriously, in the time you spent reading this someone could have shown you how to throw a proper groin kick. :-)
I cannot say enough about how great Titan Gym is. Whether you are experienced in martial arts or a complete novice, Titan has a class for you. The Krav Maga classes are fantastic. They will challenge you to continually improve yourself and your knowledge of self-defense. In addition to Krav Maga, Titan offers a variety of other martial arts classes as well. These classes are taught in the same manner as Krav Maga, and you will be constantly pushed to new heights. Don’t get me started on the Fight2Fitness class. If you are looking for a class to whip you into shape for anything, check out Fight2Fitness. After my first class, I thought my arms would fall off. It is a brutal workout but it is absolutely worth it. The feeling of accomplishment after each class alone is worth it, let alone the physical improvements. While every class at Titan is great, it is the instructors that truly make this gym shine. They are all outstanding. Each one is incredibly knowledgeable and patient. They create a supportive environment that allows every student to grow. Like I said before, each class at Titan will challenge you, the instructors make the challenge enjoyable. More importantly, they are as invested in you learning self-defense as you are.
Whether you are looking to learn self-defense or just interested in a fun and unique workout with a great group of people, I encourage you to check out Titan Gym. You will not be disappointed.
