I really love the variety and the intensity of the workouts. I'm in terrible shape but I feel like I get to push myself every class. More importantly, the staff and owner are awesome. It's a very welcoming vibe without being pushy :-)

This is a serious, not foofy place! The content of the self-defense class I took was relevant & relatable. I felt like I learned a lot & got a good workout in the 1.5 hour class. The instructors were serious, bad ass women who were also approachable!

Joey Mucha

POW is a great facility to learn self defense & strength and conditioning for yourself and family with a knowledgeable and welcoming staff. I went to Katalin to learn Krav Maga and found so much more. Their strength and conditioning classes will transform your body. And it's not only a physical practice, they can also support your nutritional needs. Their kids classes support kids of all levels and assist each child in uncovering their inner strength and confidence. They are well thought out classes to balance kids strengths. They also have the most creative kids Birthday parties. The Nerf party was awesome!

Cate O’Shea Rivera

Katalin and her team are top notch. Their approach is based in years of experience, expertise, and continued learning. I’ve taken self defense before and never felt so comfortable and empowered by the strategies. It’s also very special what they are doing to spread this work across the city to make us all stronger. Thank you POW and looking forward to coming to more classes!

Jeremy Lionel

This place is great! Super friendly, kind, and knowledgeable staff, GREAT equipment, and a training regiment that will get any person at any athletic level where they need to be. I have competed martial arts for years, and came here for my strength training, recovery, and conditioning. I lost ten lbs in only a few months, between the owner Katalin, and Coach Sue, I'm moving better at 34, than I have in years. Thanks you're awesome!!

Their kids day camps are an awesome way to fill the day when CPS students are off school. We never have an issue with scheduling, the staff is always very welcoming and our son always comes home exhausted (win for mom!). Flexible, dependable and fun. Highly recommend.

There are many great things I could say about POW! Gym, one that really goes above and beyond for me is the commitment not only to the children’s physical well being, but also their academics. My children look forward to going and are typically reluctant to leave.
