US Elite Martial Arts & Fitness Center

I just love it here. I am in nuclear medicine and am always working or on call. There are so many classes offered here that anyone can fit it into their schedule no matter what. When I started 10 weeks ago I was wearing a size 10 pants and an extra large shirt. I went shopping on Saturday and bought size 5 junior pants and size 8 petite shirts. I lost 6 inches from my hips, thighs and waist. I didn't like Weight Watchers weighing in front of others and announcing your weight. I don't want to feel guilty and you just set yourself up for failure and frustration. Here your weight wasn't announced and the instructors and coaches really focused on good eating habits, good exercise habits, encouragement. There was no guilt trip on how you did the past week, there was more positive encouragement on how you could do next time. This program is wonderful, I have more abdominal strength, the yoga reconditions a healthy strong spine and vertebrae. I am 54 If I can do it anyone can do it. At work people come up to me and tell me You look 10 years younger, what have you done? I tell them about US Elite and say to them And I feel 10 years younger too. more

I started kickboxing classes here at US Elite and I love the classes and the results. I go home and my husband says my eyes are just twinkling. My daughter and me started coming to class together, something we can do together. At the doctors office when it says do you have a regular exercise program, now I can say Yes. I haven't worked out in over 20 years, I love this because it is so different from step aerobics and this is something where you come in here to work out not to try and look pretty. Nobody cares if you are heavy or if you are skinny, everyone is very friendly and you are just here to work out, it's all about you, so you feel good about yourself. In two weeks I have lost 1.5 inches off my abs, 1.5 inches off my hips, .5 inches off my legs and 1 inch off my waist. I'm ready for more. Also when it comes down to it? what I'm learning makes me more confident and safer outside. more

I have been taking classes here for over a year. These workouts give you the next steps if you were ever taken to the ground. Working with the other guys is a great comradery here we are constantly pushing each other to excel and to get a lot better. It is a great amount of fun. I certainly feel bad when I can't come in because I feel so good so much better the next day physically. One of the things I really like is that the training is very strenuous. Whether you are doing rounds of 3-5 minutes or doing drills, you get a very good workout and the way you feel about yourself is great. You feel it in your arms, stomach and legs. It has really made a big difference in the rest of my martial arts training here. more

From the very first day I noticed the friendly atmosphere and constant encouragement to achieve my goals with fitness and nutrition. I really enjoy the high energy, intense workouts. I really get a nice high from these classes. I tried a lot of other programs boot camps, weight lifting etc. and I truly like this one the best. I feel guilty when I can't get here, it is a great stress release hitting these bags and getting my body in great shape. more

I lost 18.4 pds and went from a size 16 now to a size 12/14. I'm excited. Before I started here I didn't exercise at all, I didn't eat healthy, I ate a lot of fast food and I was often tired before I went into work. Now it is all changed completely. I have more continuous energy throughout the day. A lot of my friends have done some sort of kickboxing over the years and said it was fun and I came in for the 1st intro class here at US Elite. I really loved the heavy bag workout and decided to go for it. more

Thanks for always teaching great classes and going the extra mile. You guys are awesome. Yesterdays class was a challenging one and you were there to demonstrate it and cover it so I understood. Many other schools/centers would never do that more

My whole family attends classes. Before we started, my son was very shy, he had a hard time expressing himself, he would sit in the back. Even when people would say hi to him he he would mumble hello and wouldn't say much. He now gets really excited in class and his voice is much louder. It brings tears to my eyes to see his progress. He has made a lot of friends at US Elite Martial Arts and they are all doing the same things, like being respectful and mannerly. Being at US Elite has also motivated him in the morning to get ready for school on his own. He wants to help out and add things to his self disciple sheet for karate where before it used to be a struggle and repeating over and over to do things like his chores. I am really glad I enrolled him here and wish we could have started sooner. more

I tried other places and also the local Recreation Center, they were boring! I had to wait for a machine, I was on my own, I really didn't really know what to do. Finally I would sit down on a bike which was a waste of my time. At US Elite, all the instructors are great. They motivate each of us to do our very best. They tell you what to do and guide you in class for assistance PLUS you go home sore and you know you put in a hell of a workout. I need to be pushed and motivated and here I am driven to give it my all. I now get compliments all the time, at work, family my friends, my neighbor said Wow you lost a lot of weight I replied you should try US Elite Kickboxing Program, It's Amazing. more

Before martial arts my son would get angry or upset he would curl up into a ball hide or want to hit something, yell and fight! Since coming here, when he gets angry he sits down and breathes. He'll then talk about his feelings and what's going on. Some parents say that their child needs more study time, they can't do Karate classes 2 or 3 times a week. They got it backwards. This program helps him focus better and to stay on task until that task is finished. He's become more responsible for his actions and that's something you won't learn at any elementary or high school. You just won't. more

I was a member of Curves for 10 months, I didn't lose anything. I actually gained through the Curves program. I then seen your advertisement and came in for my first visit. I like the structure and making sure I stay in my target heart rate for 30-40 minutes. Before I started I could only do a couple pushups and now I am at 45. Before I started I could only do a few sit ups and now I am up to 28. I really accomplished a lot. I am meeting and surpassing my goals and expectations at US Elite. I recommend it to anyone. more

I have lost over 15 pounds so far. I just finished my second 10 Week weight loss challenge and am starting my third March 1st. The Senseis urge you to do your best in class. It is a very caring, supportive atmosphere with the instructors and students. I have noticed a total transformation. more

I've already lost over 27 pounds, I have more energy, I am more mentally clear, and I am so happy I started going to the classes here. I have asthma, and since starting this program I can breathe a lot better and have more energy throughout the day. I recommend this to anyone. more

I'm an elementary teacher. My daughter is really learning so much more than just kicking or self-defense. I like that she stands up for herself more than if she wasn't here taking martial arts. I don't have to ask twice to do things around the house anymore. I like that she is using her manners and respect more. In a few years coming up to the 5th, 6th, 7th grade there's a lot of emotions and hormones going on where I want her to have enough self confidence, physical and emotional strength to handle situations long term. In most public schools character education isn't something that is taught, so its nice that she not only gets it from mom and dad but she gets it at US Elite. When moms come up to me I tell them that US Elite is more than just the physical lessons, they are learning on becoming a whole-confident-leader. Other parents that have their sons or daughters in different karate schools don't say anything beyond the karate class at all, I don't here anything about respect, generosity, and what that child is doing at home to build one's character. more

What I like about classes here at US Elite is they are really hard working. I like the physical requirements, the pushups, sit ups. The self defense drills and workouts are exhausting and I am always up for a great challenge. My leg strength and balance has really come along way and it all helps in the leg locks, heel hooks when on the ground. With all the people here it helps me work on my speed, technique, positionings. I work against smaller people, stronger people?It really makes me an overall stronger fighter. It also calms me down a lot. It works on my anger and my emotions. I definitely would recommend their self defense program to everyone out there especially if you want to get in shape and learn to defend yourself. It's a lot of work, challenges you on many levels and is a lot of fun. You will definitely enjoy it. more

My friends tell that I'm looking thin and great. I tell them what I do here at US Elite and how much I love it. I know they are out of shape and need to lose weight and they still give me excuses or tell me it costs too much. I tell them about the word IMPACT: I must personally act. US Elite offers so many classes a week it's much more worth the price of a gym. more
