I started attending DEA about a year ago. I cant believe how awesome this program is. The Gym itself is a bit rustic, but if you are a no frills type of gal like me, this works just fine. I am new to martial arts and fighting, and I really needed some experts to prevent injury and Ken Pinedo is just the right guy. DEA has a skilled to expert trainers in the field of fitness, boxing and MMA, Ken being the best of the best. This place is just the right combination of strength and endurance… and wait until Ken breaks out the kettlebells… it’s on. this is just the place to go for a wide variety of experiences and expertise in fitness, boxing and MMA!!!

I love it here. I wish I had time for more. The thought of having a PT was totally foreign to me. Actually, it seemed pretty dam pointless(especially when I see these trainers at the gym and their clients aren’t looking any more fit), but when I saw an opportunity to take some boxing classes I jumped at it. It was one of those things I always wanted to try out, but I never found the right place to start… until now. I stopped by during one of his boxing classes and everybody was super friendly. They’re all there for the same reason and welcome newcomers and any of those interested in the sport. I had no qualms about starting up classes right away. The trainer, Kenny, is an awesome guy. He’s been competing himself and knows his stuff. He makes sure technique and form is all there while ensuring you get your body workouts done. If I’m having issues with executing certain techniques or tasks he’ll break it down, maybe give me a different way of trying it, and then like some miracle I have no problems at all. There are classes he teaches throughout the week but I can never make them because of my schedule so he meets me first thing in the morning. So he’s definitely accommodating and was a plus when deciding if I could start up at all. Frankly, I was plateauing for a while with my workouts at the gym. I changed things up numerous times but saw no seriously noticeable changes. Kenny really helped step up my game and bring my training to a new level.
