"Meeting Aaron inspired me to try Tempo Boxing. At nearly fifty I had some anxiety about how my battle-weary body would cope, but Aaron's coaching expertise makes the classes safe, hard work, and so much fun! I look forward to every session."

"I have been training various martial arts as well as other sports the past two and a half years in a sudden urge to get fitter and live life better. I've never left a session with Aaron feeling I didn't improve my technique, fitness, or attitude towards fitness in general. His experience and knowledge in fitness but more so boxing has improved my kickboxing abilities, of which I noticed a drastic change ranging from footwork to throwing combination between my first and second amateur fights, those being a month apart. Last but far from least, five minutes into any session sparked enthusiasm to learn more and push harder. Aaron's energetic personality is able to lift anyone to their next level, whether it be for fitness purposes or those looking for coaching for upcoming fights."

Mari Seki

"I was an extremely fit woman and body boarder before the birth of my child. I started Tempo Boxing with a low level of kicks and punches. With the uplifting music and constant challenge and Aaron's encouragement, I can now move freely and do several combinations of snapping punches and high kicks. I love Tempo Boxing—every lesson gives me confidence, a sense of accomplishment, and energy that keeps me going for the rest of the day!"

Clint and Christine Conner

"My wife bid for a 4-session Tempo Boxing package for 2 on a whim at an American Chamber of Commerce in Japan function, thinking it would be a fun way to exercise. I’ve got to say, I was a bit skeptical, probably in part because I was out of shape, had not boxed before, and felt a little self-conscious about the whole thing. My wife was right. Tempo Boxing is a fantastic way to get in shape and relieve stress. Our training sessions with Aaron have become an important part of our weekly routine. Plus, I feel we’re really learning boxing and seeing improvement under Aaron’s expert guidance. We played organized sports growing up. Like a good coach, Aaron pushes us to work hard and to focus. We always feel great after our sessions – and ready to fight!"

Sekia and Doi

Sekia: "I'm a personal trainer also, and I think Aaron's training style is saiko (terrific) and so original. Aaron's lessons are fun and make me want to push harder. I always arrive early because I'm eager to get going.

Doi: "When I first started taking Aaron's class I couldn't skip rope. Now I can do it easily for three minutes just like the boxers I see on TV, and with Aaron's help it only took me two months. My fitness level is way up, my abs look great, and I feel so much stronger. I agree with Sekia—Aaron's style is original and fun!"

Chrissy Moberg

"When I started sessions with Aaron I already had two years of kickboxing behind me. I started training with him in the interest of improving my punches and my general fitness, and so far I've made great progress. Aaron knows my limits better than I do and knows exactly how far to push and how best to encourage progress. His easygoing personality and good sense of humor makes him easy to communicate with which also contributes to his excellence as a coach. He's been encouraging and supportive from day 1, and has even managed to talk me into competing in kickboxing in the amateur league, for which I am very thankful. He's really helped me get my life back on track in terms of fitness, which in turn has made me much happier. Thanks a lot!"

Ela Herd

"My mom told me about Tempo Boxing and how fun it is. Since I have started I feel so much stronger and fitter. I have even started running on days I don't have Tempo because fitness is fun now."

Niel Shepherd

"Aaron's training sessions are both inspiring and physically enduring but he leaves you with a feeling that you can accomplish anything, turning negatives into positives the sky is the limit. Moreover, training has never been such fun with positive results within weeks. So don't delay, sign up today and make Aaron's workouts part of your day."

Ry Beville

"It’s summer and I want to look good, but I’ve been eating and drinking too much and gotten soft. I was a collegiate swimmer and have a black belt in karate, so when Aaron challenged me to his workout, which mixes martial arts with aerobic and strength exercises, how could I refuse?

Within the first minute of the warm-up he recognized two old injuries. Although I’ve healed fully, only a pro would notice the difference in my movement. I feel comfortable under his guidance because Aaron emphasizes proper form and balance from the start. What’s the point in exercising if you’re just going to injure yourself? We did several rounds of “Tempo Boxing,” which uses footwork, core body movement and quick-tempo punching. Again, Aaron was a stickler for form and often corrected my movements. We then did some circuit-training exercises to finish up. The session was grueling but extremely fun. I felt fantastic the rest of the day, and I realized I don’t just want to look good for summer—I want to stay healthy. Tempo Boxing is a good starting point!"
