I first took my son to train at KB-One when he was very young. I was super impressed . My son trained there for 3 years and he still feels like it is home.Very family oriented and safe environment for every one. I also did some training with them during that time. A few months ago I decided to apply for a position at my work that required a very difficult physical test to pass. I am 59 years old and I had to go up against 30 and 40 somethings. Kru Mehdi and KB One imediatley was my go to place to train. Mehdi is a master of blending conditioning and confidence. Everyone at KB one is behind you and invests in you no matter if your goal is just to be in better shape or reach a personal goal. I passed my test with flying colors and credit Mehdi. Hes a champ for a reason. KB-One staff will welcome you and you will feel great every time you go there!

My husband and I have been training privately at KB ONE for six months and we love everything about it! The expertise and the experience are five star. The gym is pristinely clean and well equipped. We both get exactly what we want from our private training sessions. For me it's about fitness, strength and fun with a solid Muay Thai technical base. I train with Frankie. My husband is all about perfect technique and steady improvement. The killer workout he gets each time from Kru Mehdi is a bonus. We can't say enough about KB One.

Kru Mehdi and Miss Barb, the owners and head instructors, treat you with respect and provide tons of encouragement. I have been going for many years now, the first time I've ever stuck with something for more than a year. It's a great workout and I always leave with a smile on my face. The students there are friendly and I remember it being very easy to get started as a beginner. Most importantly for me, I feel confident that I can defend myself if necessary. Also love the new juice bar.

For a little over 6 months, all in private training sessions with Kru Mehdi I have been training at KB-One, and am honored to not only have Mehdi as my trainer, but to also to now have him as my friend.
The gym is immaculately clean - and the training that I initially expressed an interest in has been followed to the letter. From Day one my expectations and goals were very clearly discussed and put into a realistic timeframe, along with the work that it would take in order for me to achieve them. No smoke and mirrors here.
Not only has my progression been consistent and steady but Kru Mehdi has somehow managed to tailor every single training session to my increasing ability at that time. This without ever making me feel incompetent, embarrassed or a beginner. And for someone with such an impressive fight record his gentle manner is exceptionally impressive.
He has also been more than willing to spend additional time with me at no cost helping me designing training programs for me to follow at home, to help with my progression.
My wife now also trains individually with Frankie and both of my kids, in their early 20's, now train in the group classes, and all love it.
I cannot praise Mehdi. his staff, and KB-One enough. Anyone wanting to get fit, challenge themselves both physically and mentally, or learn some self defense, owe it to themselves to visit these guys at least once.
Look for me in the ring!
Henry W ★★★★★
I have been training at KB-One for about a year and half. Great facility with fantastic trainers. Whether it's personal instruction through private class with three time world champion, Kru Mehdi, general workouts with fellow students in the regular classes, or fitness classes with Ms. Barb, you will find something to suit your needs.
Real family feel to the place. Great for kids or adults alike.
