Heidi and Joel at the front desk are very personable, and knowledgeable. They know everyone on a first name basis, and make you feel right at home. We love that the classes are flexible to our crazy schedule. My daughter loves Mr. Tims class, but all the instructors there are wonderful! She always has a blast in class. Highly recommend!!
The instructors are great. They push us to work harder and perfect our form. They break techniques down so we can practice them step by step. And the drills are fun, but more importantly, very effective for training muscle memory. There is enough repetitive from week to week that we get a chance to really learn the moves, but not so much that it vecomes boring. There’s something new almost every class. And there are plenty of class times to choose from.
Krav Maga is perfect for anyone looking to improve their self-defense skills and boost their confidence. Highly recommend

I’ve been to several gyms that included Kickboxing or Jiu Jitsu and this is nothing like those. I love the intensity and the challenges of the all of classes and every instructor legitimately know their stuff. Krav Maga is by far one of my favorites. Plus I’m also marathon training and this is by far the best cross training I’ve ever done.
The atmosphere at X-treme Krav Maga is amazing. I felt so welcomed and such a sense of community and teamwork. I can’t wait to come back!
The people who work here are amazing. I’m currently taking an intro to hand guns women’s class and loving it! so much fun and learning a lot! making friends too!!
Awesome place and the people are fantastic! They make learning fun. It has been wonderful for my kids too. They are obsessed with this place. The athletic training has been really good for them. My son is 7 and he can do real push-ups with the perfect form thanks to this place. My daughter loves this place loves learning with the other kids. I love every class they have for me and the more I go the more I love the classes. My husband hates working out and even he loves this place.
The active Shooter Defense class was excellent and the staff doing the class were excellent and extremely well-informed. I think every church, business, and restaurant should take this course and be prepared for the unexpected. It can happen anywhere at any time. Better to be prepared and never needed than unprepared and it does happen. Unprepared means DEFENSELESS.
Recently came into contact with the owner. Seems to be a stand up leader who respects both his team’s and his students’ time. I had an appointment with him that was running long and as soon as he realized he could be late for a class, he respectfully made it clear that his students needs come before his own interests. That’s a business with integrity. I have family members who swear by his training as well. Worth checking out.
Great Trainers, Excellent Environment for Learning, Been Training here for a few months and the experience has been wonderful. Top Tier Gym!!!
I’ve been going here for about 3 months now. The staff have been exceptionally awesome. It’s like saying hi to my well known friends every time I go in. The instructors are very knowledgeable. They are really good at demonstrating different skills, and are great at helping walk me through different moves that I struggle with. My kids have been going about a month longer than me. They absolutely love when their training days come up. The kid instructors are great at helping them through learning new skills. They really make a point of giving individualized attention to the kids who struggle and need an extra hand to progress.
10/10, I couldn’t more highly recommend this gym
XKM has been a game changer to me. I spent 2 months looking for a kickboxing gym to join and from the moment I walked in and meet Joel’s welcoming smile and knowledge, I was hooked. Not only is he knowledgeable about what’s going on at XKM at all times but he’s also a kick ass instructor. I’ve made several friends and I look forward to coming in, releasing some stress, shooting the breeze, and the best part, getting an amazing workout and life skill from some of the best instructors I have ever seen.
Training here is a blast. The instructors are knowledgeable and helpful. The classes are fun. The gym is nice. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.
I just joined a couple weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier. All of the staff is extremely friendly, fun, and truly want to see you succeed. Joel is always there to greet you with a smile, and pop in classes to tell people how great they are doing. There is always fun music playing, and you really get in the zone. You jump right into the classes, and people that have already been taking the classes, help you as well. It’s only been 2 weeks and I can already feel my body getting tighter, and have learned awesome self defense moves.
This is a great place- highly recommend!
I am very glad I joined and the extreme fitness class on Monday and Wednesday at 5pm are great. The instructor is awesome.
I’ve been attending the women’s self defense classes for about 2 months. I LOVE them! Alison is a fantastic teacher. There is no reason to be intimidated, anyone can do this. Great workout, empowering, and such important life skills. Every staff member is welcoming. Fenton location is convenient. The workshops are also a great way to preview the space and vibes.
