Matt Costa, KnuckleUp Instructor of the Month

You might not picture a Certified Executive Chef (C.E.C), experienced in 4-diamond French cuisine the same way you would a Military trainer with 8 years of experience in the Marines (including 2 combat wars).
KnuckleUp Instructor Of The Month: Matt Costa
When I was interviewing Matt for this post, I was blown away by such an unusual professional combination. A former marine, with a 2-0 amateur MMA fight record, knows what a beurre blanc sauce is?
But as we continued our chat, it became clear that the distinct professional achievements are a reflection of this amazing instructor’s determination and commitment. Whether in the Marines, in the kitchen, or at KnuckleUp, Matt refuses to settle for mediocrity. Average is not part of his vocabulary.
His success as a chef placed him in the kitchen of movie stars and as the head chef for 4-diamond restaurants, a lifestyle that Matt […]

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
