6 Tips For Better Sleep

Scientists are still uncovering the many ways poor quality sleep can impact you
, but it certainly is much more than just stumbling your way through the day. For example, a number of studies have reported changes to key hormones levels and recently how many calories your body burns the day after an ‘all-nighter’.

and diabetes-related complications [1, 2]. One of the greatest examples of this found that women who sleep less than five hours per night had the highest body weights of women in the ....

3 Simple Rules for Clean Eating

but is actually quite a simple concept! Rather than revolving around the idea of ingesting more or less of specific things (for instance, fewer calories or higher fat), the idea is just about being mindful

Kettlebell Swings: The 1 Exercise That Fixes 99 Problems

In today’s world we spend the majority of our days doing things in front of us with terrible posture. We crouch over keyboards while our chests cave in and our hips shorten from sitting.

What is Krav Maga?

What comes to mind when you think of self-defense? Do you imagine yourself fighting off an army of home-invaders, guns blazing Rambo-style?

Katie G.

I’ve been training at Xtreme Krav Maga & Fitness for over 2 years, and since day 1 they have been one of the most welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable gyms I’ve ever attended. I came in with literally zero knowledge of Krav Maga and fighting and I never felt judged or uncomfortable. The instructors are patient and skilled and take the time to make the class a challenge for all skill levels. You can train as hard as you want to achieve your personal goals. Not only do I now feel more confident, but the classes are a great work out for the whole body. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn self defense or improve their overall health. There are classes for all skill levels and also classes focusing on certain activities, such as ground fighting, women’s self defense, and fitness. I guarantee you’ll never get bored.

The instructors and students are all really helpful with newcomers. I've been going for a month, two times a week, and have left every class feeling great! I've learned so many new techniques and have gained more confidence, which is awesome!

Brian S.

This gym has changed my life. I have lost 40 pounds and gained the confidence to defend myself using the techniques thought here. The entire staff are knowledgeable and professional. All classes are fun and inclusive to all attending. I was welcome as member from day one. I would encourage anyone to take a trial class and see for themselves.
