Fight Back Fit - Self Defense & Fitness - Houston, Texas

Shawn Michael

I have been training at Fight Back Fitness for over a year now and I love it.
I attended the early morning classes twice a week for several months and recently switched to the evening classes. From the moment I stepped through the door I was treated with professionalism. If you have injuries/limitations the coaches work with those in mind. The instructors there are very knowledgeable and they are all passionate about self-defense.
I joined with very, very, little experience and all the instructors have taken the time to teach me with patience.
The gym offers a free trial class for anyone considering the training. Contact them, they’ll advise you on what to wear (no uniform/belt/GI in our practice; I train in shorts and a gym t-shirt. Some prefer leggings).
You are reading these reviews because you are interested. Do yourself a favor and try out a class. If you want to learn and be challenged Fight Back Fitness is the place.

I recently joined this studio and am extremely pleased with the level of instruction from Jeanna, the warmth and inclusiveness of my fellow students and the small class sizes. Getting more hands-on work with martial arts instructors is key to improvement, and here you definitely get that. Not to mention how hard the fitness classes are! They'll leave you sore for a week!

The owner, the instructors, the more intimate class size leads to an environment conducive to developing quickly within the discipline and general fitness. It's a place you will be pushed out of your comfort zone, the ambience is that of a typical nascent martial arts gym on the come up. If you want fancy and flashy, look elsewhere. If you want to take your training seriously and get the attention from small class sizes and you are willing to give your hardest effort, I believe this is the place to progress quickly and intelligently. The intellectual capital and sum of experience available amongst the instructors is commensurate with any high level gym and the humility and welcoming atmosphere exceeds them.

I have trained with Jeanna since 2009. She has trained my daughter and son since then when they were 9 and 6. They are now 17 and 14 and have benefited greatly from their training. As a former Army Airborne Infantry soldier I had high standards for training and she and Mike have surpassed that in there experience and professionalism. It is rare to find a trainer that truly cares about their students and wants to build them up to levels they didn't think possible but that is what you will find at Fight Back Fit. I hate normal work outs like lifting weights or basic cardio. At Fight Back Fit I get to punch and kick out all of my frustrations leaving exhausted and very satisfied with my workout always doing something new and interesting. You are also surrounded by people of all walks of life that have similar goals of being confident in their ability to defend themselves no matter their size, age or natural athletic abilities. Learn from the best and gain the confidence you deserve to walk anywhere freely without fear. I and my family are life long members of Fit Back Fit and consider Jeanna and her staff as dear family friends.

After just one class, and absolutely no prior Krav Maga training, I have fallen in love with Fight Back Fit! The trainers are top notch! Highly knowledgable, compassionate about what they do, and willing to take the time each individual needs to grasp the skills. I can't wait to jump in with both feet and feel safer in this world with the confidence to defend myself.

I walked into Fight Back Fit on a sweltering Monday afternoon in the summer of 2012 weighing in at 340lbs. Jeanna and Mike have helped change my life over the last four years. I’ve been dropping weight ever since and I’m now walking around at a shade over 250lbs. It has been a long hard road but, the journey has been one I wouldn’t trade for the world. Lost weight, got in shape (they are not the same thing), made friends, and added new tools to the toolbox along the way.

Every day a FBF is a learning experience. You are going to learn some new skill or learn something about yourself and your ability that you didn’t know. You won’t find better instructors or instructors who care more about your success in fitness goals or self-defense. There are no participation awards. You will work hard. But you’ll feel the rewards in confidence, stamina, strength and skill.

Alex Perales

Best trainers who teach you real life scenerios and real martial arts, plus offers way more than most martial art studios. Best thing to have happened to me. Great place great people. You learn the real deal nothing watered down or sugar coated.

Kevin Cottrell

Jeanna and her team are top notch. I've worked with several Krav instructors over the past few years and would state unequivocally that there are among the best.

You won't be disappointed with private lessons or a group class from them.
