Rachel A. says, "I came to Rachel postpartum after my second baby to work on that stubborn baby weight and let me tell you, this postpartum experience physically has been WAY better than my first. I truly believe it is because of Rachel’s guidance. No matter what physical level you’re at, she’ll work with you. Whether you’re a beginner or already active and just want someone to make sure your form is right, she got you. I’ve taken her group classes, boot camp, and challenges. The challenges are great. I was able to lose 14 lbs in 8 weeks with her last challenge. If you’re really serious about making that change for yourself, hit her up! She’s got the knowledge for you. You just gotta put in the work."See more

Julia D. says, "Fitness journey update! 💪🏼 I started training with Rico 3 years ago 2-4 times a week and it's been an incredible ride. Boxing is my passion, but we also mix it up with cardio and weight training at the gym. The results speak for themselves - my body and health have improved so much! Rico's guidance on nutrition and food prep has been a game-changer. Thanks, Rico, for helping me become stronger and healthier woman 🙏"See more

Reviews for Torrance self defense instructors on Thumbtack

From Tara H.

Self Defense with Brie

Self Defense with Brie

I was so HAPPILY surprised at how quickly Brie was able to start teaching self-defense tactics and moves. What I accomplished Day 1 was what I thought it would take 3+ sessions to learn. She's a great teacher, and I really appreciate her patience and realness. I feel comfortable and excited during training, and I feel AMAZING after each session!
