Fitness Factory Martial Arts

I took 6 fitness classes at Fitness Factory on a Yelp deal and they were killer. Armen’s workouts never repeat themselves, so there’s no opportunity to get bored. Have you ever held a plank position for 5 minutes? I’m not sure the human body was meant for such pain, but I did it in one of the classes! I can’t speak for the martial arts classes, but anyone who is looking for a great workout and is tired of the same old regular gym routine should give this place a try.

Pros:
+ When I go to Orange County every month for business, this IS the place I go to stay in shape
+ I consider myself to be pretty fit, having been working out 3-4 times per week for several years, but Armen still kicks my butt every time. No two workout sessions are the same. Armen always varies the routines so it is always challenging. My body was always sore after I worked out with Armen. But I kept going back!
+ There are people of different shapes in the classes. But I think everybody feels challenged to work harder regardless of their fitness levels.
+ Nice new facility. Very clean and modern.
+ Lots of classes for adults and kids. Both morning and evening classes available to fit different people’s schedule.
+ For adults there are fitness, kickboxing or Taekwondo classes
+ Both monthly (unlimited sessions) or per session pricing available
+ Armen and Jamie are super friendly and cool people. Even though I don’t get to go to Fitness Factory as often as I’ve liked, they made me feel like I am part of the family.

Cons:
- I live in Hawaii. So I cannot work out at Fitness Factory as often as I’d like.

I now have all three of my children going to TKD! I am so happy with the results….and there are so many!! Not only are they physically improving, but Armen is so involved with them almost like a brother/counselor/mentor. I think kids really enjoy the classes, yet become so much more focused in all aspects of their lives. My toddler has become so much more disciplined, calm, and her appetite has increased!!!! I would recommend that you try the classes for your children, Armen is an amazing Master………..!!!!!

This guy is something special, believe me!! I found Armen purely by chance and I’m so glad that I did!! I was visiting irvine from the UK for 3 months, and was aiming to keep myself fit for the upcoming soccer season. Although I have done alot of exercise throughout my life, and worked with many personal trainers, I found Armen offered such a huge amount of variation to my exercise routines. By involving kickboxing, numerous bodyweight exercises and much much more, the results I gained were quite extraordinary!!

Having been a world champion Kickboxer himself, Armen knows what it takes to be at the top level of his sport, which only inspired me more!! He gives you 100% focus throughout each session. Whether your goal is to gain muscle, lose weight or become better in your sport, and no matter what your age or fitness level, Armen and the Fitness factory is the place to be. Without question!!

Ultimately Armen’s constant enthusiasm everyday, proves that he loves working in the fitness industry, and he treats his clients goals as his own, and if you train with him, anything is achievable!!

I can’t wait for more training session in the very near future!!

Our whole family trains with Armen since last year and the results are amazing. Our two teenage children enjoy the workouts, that they go on a weekly schedule with us.

Armen shows his enthusiasm, commitment, and passion on every session we had with him, making each student motivated to achieve his or her desired results.

He customizes each session to get your maximum workout potential and having fun while exercising.

Fitness Factory is a Martial Arts studio that recently opened up in the new complex off of Jeffrey and Roosevelt. There are several types of martial art programs offered, but I can only speak for the Thai Kickboxing – which is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

Words can not express how happy I am to finally have a “real” kickboxing class to attend!! I’ve been to several kickboxing classes around town – but none of them were “real” kickboxing – I’m sorry, but real kickboxing does not involve aerobics dance moves. Another problem I’ve had are classes that only use the floor bags as their ONLY teaching tool. Floor bags are fine if you are completely alone and need to practice some moves – but for ultimate training, you need pads. There are no floor bags or aerobics dance moves here!! The kickboxing here is HARD CORE and the workout is EXTREMELY INTENSE. There is a lot of use of pads and a lot of emphasis on proper form.

The owner/trainer – Master Armen is a very upbeat and patient trainer. I think he’s appropriate for ALL LEVELS. I came in with some basic kickboxing experience under my belt, but he’s taught me a lot more moves incorporating my elbows and knees (I had no previous experience using those particular body parts). I also had friends come in with no kickboxing experience and he successfully had them punching and kicking in proper form after their very first class.

Whether you want to are looking to shed some pounds or learn self-defense or even train for competitive kickboxing, this is the place!
