I brought my 12 year old son, Connor, to P4P to improve his fighting skills. I am very impressed with the P4P instructors. They give the training session their full attention and spend the session working on all aspects of the game. Connor's session with the P4P instructors not only involves strength training, conditioning and technique, but he receives many fighting tips that only a professional fighter could offer. The P4P instructors have a gift for working with kids and youth; they read the kids well, quickly determining their strengths and weaknesses. They don't coddle Connor but challenges him to put out the best effort possible. My son enjoys working with the P4P instructors and he has definitely grown in skill level, physical fitness, temperament and confidence. Whether you want better fitness or technique for you child, or even increased confidence and self-esteem, training with P4P is they way to go.

I have been looking for the past 6 years for a great MMA gym since my old gym closed down, I have been practicing martial arts since 1995.
Pound 4 Pound is better than anything I have experienced. Everyone is super friendly and down to earth, most importantly everyone training at the gym is serious about it. You do not see any slackers or people that would rather be somewhere else, everyone is really dedicated.
The instructors are absolutely amazing and not only teach you how to preform a certain technique but why and when it is useful! I recently tried a BJJ class for my first time and the sensei pulled me aside and taught me the basic body movements. He explained these moves are the building blocks of BJJ and after a couple weeks I may have the opportunity to join in with the rest of the class. This is a prime example of what this gym is about; they want you to succeed. Having said that are always competitions and fighters from P4P traveling across north America competing and doing great! Really inspiring!

Having the pleasure and privilege of sitting under the learning tree of some of the best MMA instructors and P4P Coaches has been both a humbling and truly rewarding life experience. I can say, without hesitation that the team at P4P has pushed me beyond my perceived physical and mental boundaries, and has enabled me to continually progress and hone my skills as a fighter. My intention when I started at Pound for Pound was to explore new health and fitness opportunities outside of traditional weight lifting. However, in the time I have been here, I feel I have become fully entrenched in the Mixed Martial Arts Culture thanks to the world-class instruction I receive on a daily basis. I have a great respect for this facility and the coaches who continually look to enhance my strengths, eliminate my weaknesses, and that respect is given right back to me. What began as a hobby has now become my passion. Without question, I would recommend this training facility to everyone! You will learn things about your physical and mental capabilities you never thought was possible!

Respect, dedication, and passion epitomizes the P4P team and the individually tailored focus in each person's development has enabled me to grow leaps and bounds as a fighter. The lessons they teach here transcends beyond Marital Arts and into day-to-day life and that to me, has been a truly humbling experience. The people are incredibly friendly and are equally committed in you as you are to yourself. It's certainly a unique and amazing experience! I'd definitely recommend the gym!
