“I make going to Titan Fitness part of my weekly routine because the
workouts are awesome and the atmosphere keeps me energized and wanting to
come back for more.”
‹Emma Vautour

“I signed up for MMA to have fun, but found that the lessons learned in
class now carry over into my life. Not only have I become more physically
fit, but I have also found that the discipline and respect taught on the
mats make me a better college student and a better person.”
‹Derek Janssen

“Prior to training with Mr. Lombard, I had a hard time motivating myself to
stay in shape. But the enjoyment I get from my martial arts training has
made it impossible to stay away.” 
‹Shawn Slater

“Martial Arts training is about more than fighting. Mr. Lombard is very
knowledgeable and capable of training individuals in anything from Thai
boxing, to MMA, to Submission Grappling. Even if you are not looking to
compete, I have found that martial arts training offers excellent health
benefits, like fitness and stress relief.”
‹Shawn Slater

“Kickboxing has not only helped me physically, but has also boosted my self
confidence. It is tough, and when I feel like quitting I look back at what
I have accomplished up to this point and wonder how much more I can condition
my body by sticking with it.”
‹Sobrina Wolff

“I never was a physically active person but now I find myself making sure I
fit kickboxing in my schedule between work and school. It is like having a
personal trainer. Bruce is there to motivate and push me to learn the
techniques. I leave with a sense of accomplishment.” 
‹Sobrina Wolff

“I was looking for a different type of workout. Physically, kickboxing is
intense and keeps me in great shape. But I am not just working out. I am also
learning to defend myself, and making great friends.”
‹Nicole Weatherholtz

“I began attending Titan Fitness almost three years ago.  I began as a
student with no prior martial arts knowledge whatsoever.  I weighed about
145 lbs and was initially just looking for a way to get back into shape
after having a baby.  I now weigh in at about 125 lbs and am in the best
shape I have ever been.”
‹Allison Glenny

“I am on the brink of my first amateur fight, and I am amazed by the progress
I have made through the efforts of my teachers and my training partners. Not
only are these the people that I work out with, but they have become some of
my closest friends.”
‹Allison Glenny

“I love kickboxing because it always pushes me to my limits, and I always
leave class feeling accomplished.”
‹Nicole Cardell
