From the reviews
I'll try to list all the reasons I love this place without writing an entire essay (in no particular order) 1. The instructors are great!!! 2. Welcoming and accepting atmosphere 3. All classes end up being a hard workout 4. All fitness levels are welcome.
First off, the instructors for the kids classes are very awesome! When my son first started about a year ago there were about 8 kids. Now there are anywhere from 14-20 kids participating by friends inviting them to join. My son loves that he is learning all the basic and advanced skills of Krav Maga- Self Defense.
After trying out a few different Krav Maga classes in the area I finally settled in on AOS. The staff at AOS are professional, welcoming and were very prompt to answer any and every question I had.
I've trained Krav Maga at 2 other locations and AOS seems the most geared toward actual street application. David, the instructor, pays personal attention to each individual so you don't feel just like another number. He makes corrections and gives advice and really cares about personal growth of each of his students.
New to muay thai? Start at Premier Fight and Fitness La Mesa
Premier Fight and Fitness La Mesa comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Premier Fight and Fitness La Mesa
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
