Just for Women!

When was the last time you truly felt Strong? Empowered? Able? Confident?

True fitness is about so much more than "Before" and "After". Sure, many women join East-West Gym & Fitness because we want to lose weight or achieve a strong, toned body. But many join because we want to feel stronger and more certain of ourselves, better able to protect ourselves in a situation where self-defense is required. Regardless of our initial reason, what we've all found is that we enjoy the benefits of all of these results... and more.

East-West Gym & Fitness focuses on the complete woman--mind, body & spirit. And while you'll experience calorie-burning workouts that can get you into the best shape of your life, you'll also take an active part in shaping your life as you experience the sense of accomplishment and inner strength that comes from being part of a community designed to help you reach your unique goals. We invite you to begin your journey to discovering your personal strength, beauty and power.

My Journey...
"When I first started taking boxing and kickboxing with Asim, all I wanted was to lose some weight, get in better shape and not be so bored with my workouts. Four months later, I can definitely say that I've lost pounds and inches and am considerably more toned that I ever was lifting weights and running. But the amazing thing is that somewhere along the way, it really stopped being about 'what size am I?' and 'what does my body look like?' and started to be about what my body was able to accomplish (that I never thought it could!) and how strong it had become and how it would just continue to become stronger and more able. Whatever fears I had starting out--of being intimidated or out-of-shape--have been replaced with a true feeling of accomplishment and success."

"I had been taking some type of kickboxing classes on and off for the past 10 years, but these were your common 'Aerobic Kickboxing' type classes (kicking the air) that worked great for shedding a few unwanted pounds. But it wasn’t until I started Asim’s kickboxing classes, personal training sessions and Aikido classes that I realized that what I had been doing for all these years was merely about my physical appearance and had done nothing for me beyond that.

Asim helped my focus go past the mindset of it all being about ‘how high is my heart rate’ and ‘how many inches have I lost’ to also developing an inner confidence and a true understanding of the techniques he was teaching me.

Being a very petite woman, I had always felt like a walking target and was always very hesitant and uncomfortable in situations where I felt I had no power, or could easily be controlled by someone else. Asim’s training is helping me overcome insecurities--physically and mentally--that I always thought were just a part of who I was.

Not only do I feel stronger, more capable, and more flexible physically, I am now developing a strong confidence in myself that has carried over into every area of my life."
