Tons of great things to say about Rich! We scheduled him to come out and teach two self-defense classes in an office setting. This was such a fun activity for our employees. He did a great job at making it fun and provided tons of helpful tips and techniques. He came prepared with gear and an amazing attitude. I would absolutely schedule him to come out again for our team or even for a private session. Thank you!

My husband and I have been training with Rich weekly for over a year now. It's amazing how he can cater to both my husband and my individual training needs. He's a blast to train with but he's also attentive and makes sure we are constantly striving to improve. I have gained an immense sense of confidence and we have so much fun every week. Highly recommend booking with Rich!

My 17 year old son has been taking lessons with Rich for the last 8 months and continues to forward to them. Rich has great energy, knowledge and has been such a positive influence on my son. He’s also very patient, nice & super motivational. We feel so fortunate to have connected with him!

Coach Rich is AWESOME! It's easy to tell that coaching and health is his passion. He asked me about my goals ahead of time, and tailored the class to my skill level. I'm new to Muay Thai, so my interests were mostly in learning technique, and burning a lot of calories. I'm trying to lose some baby weight, and the thought of hopping on the dreamill, or hours of boring cardio makes me want to put on some sweat pants and embrace my new fluffier form.🤣 Anyway, during my first class with him, I was dripping in sweat by the end of the warm up! Looking at my fitness tracker, I burned over 1,000 calories during the entire session! Score!! Rich was very friendly, and engaged throughout the class. I liked that he let me know what to expect ahead of time, and continued to motivate me to push harder during the session. His explanations on how to approach certain techniques were very easy to understand, as he would break down the movements into small pieces, and then string them together. I had never learned any elbow or knee techniques prior to his class, and while I'm definitely no expert, I now feel comfortable with the movements. Whether you're looking to learn proper technique, self-defense, or just get a really awesome workout- Coach Rich is your guy! Thank you, Rich, for making my weight loss journey fun, and for helping me achieve my goals!
