When I first got interested in kickboxing, I tried one of those web-special strip mall "kickboxing" gyms you see advertised all over town. BIG mistake. After my first class I had already injured myself because nobody properly taught me technique. There were so many people in the class we had to share bags. I went back because I had already paid for it, but it only got worse. That's when I found Don! He is the REAL DEAL. From the very beginning he taught me all the fundamentals...proper stance, how to hold my hands, pivot when punching and SO much more! He always gives me the "why" behind everything he teaches, which helps me understand. He also watches every move I do very closely and can tell me exactly why this punch didn't connect or why that kick didn't get enough power even down to when I need to be breathing more to help keep up my endurance. I am developing muscles I never knew existed and I know it's thanks to Don's training. I like that he offers the first session free...there's no pressure and you can get a read on each other and see if you mesh well, but trust me, one session is all it will take to get you hooked! By far, the best trainer I've ever worked with and, as an added bonus, he's such a nice guy! Easy to talk to and super fun to work with. I am LOVING kickboxing now and can't wait to see how far I can go in it having Don as my coach!

I have been training with Don for a few years. In my opinion, his expertise is second to none. He understands the "why" of the exercise to ensure the use of proper technique and training. His lessons help maximize my results with the minimum amount of effort. I appreciate his dedication and talent.

I had been looking for a trainer for a while and came across Don on the internet and decided to try him out. He had extensive training in martial arts and I felt that he would have the best practices in all aspects of fitness. I cannot express how happy I have been with my training. I have had great results with the change to my body with every area that I was looking to target. He has given me the tools and knowledge to work out on my own and not be confused as to whether I am doing it correctly and not hurting myself with incorrect form. He would never just tell me to do something, he would show me by doing it himself first and correct my form so I get the best results. He is always very interactive and all in all just making sure I am gaining the best training I can possible have. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Don was the first personal trainer I ever worked with and I'm so glad I chose him! He is very knowledgeable and experienced, and teaches you the proper way to do the exercises. I got great results from working with him and now have a great knowledge base and foundation to work from!

As a former Special Agent, US Secret Service, I have always needed to stay in good physical condition, ready to respond t any physical threat presented to me, to my fellow Agents and most importantly, those we were protecting, including the President of the US.
Don Niam and his training, fitness and self-defense programs have, over the years kept me in top shape. The long hours required by Agents, the constant travel throughout the US and around the world many times left me exhausted and without access to a gym or training facility. But, with Don’s programs and fitness teachings, I was able to work out in my room or any small space available to improve and overcome any lack in stamina. His programs worked and I was always, and remain, in top physical condition.
I am now semi-retired, still doing contract investigations for a government agency across the US. I still practice the workout techniques and programs Don teaches. Don is a dedicated professional. Without his training methods and his overall philosophy of fitness and a healthy life, I would never have been able to keep my edge.
I could not give a higher recommendation to anyone else. If you want to stay fit, remain healthy, in mind and body, Don Niam is the best person to teach you and guide you to that goal.
