TKO FightClub Fitness: Complete Gym profile

FightWorld.TV is proud to present our profile on TKO FightClub Fitness Gym. This establishment situated in Dollard des Ormeaux has so much to offer to anyone interested in training Mixed Martial Arts, Muay Thai, BJJ, Boxing or any other intense workout program. Lets start at the begining. Upon entering TKO what we noticed at first is the siize... This gym is huge! TKO is one of the most spacious gyms we have seen to date. It has to be with all the different forms of training taking place on a daily basis.

Last year TKO was created by expanding and collaborating with the already existing Grant Brothers Boxing which is world-renown for it's participation in the boxing world. Many top fighters hone their boxing skills with Otis Grant and his brother Howard such as UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre. What better idea than to make one huge multi-dicipline training facility! As you enter the gym you can see the huge MMA cage in the background. The courteous staff met us at the service counter which is directly in front of the proshop. We recieved our TKO access-dogtags and off we went. The proshop has a great selection of clothing and fightgear such as UFC, Warrior, Throwdown, BlackKarv, HeadRush, Hustler, Sinister and many other combat inspired brands. If you are looking for nutritional supplements, they have everything on hand from XPN which is a leader in the world of supplements. Adjacent to the proshop is a  sitting area with tables and televison screens to relax with friends and watch some news or combat sports. TKO has a great café which offers healthy food and beverages for all tastes.

Past the reception and café area is where the gym begins! The huge MMA cage we spoke of earlier is right in the center and is surrounded by matted areas perfectly suited for MMA and  Brazilian Jui Jitsu classes. The main coach for the MMA and Grappling is Stephane Potvin who has 15 years experience and is a 3-time champion in 3 different federations. He has 5 olympic fights under his belt and it shows in the level of training he provides. He can often be seen in the corners at professional MMA events backing the likes of Derek Gauthier and many other dominant MMA fighters in the province.

Take a right at the cage and you enter the training equiptment portion of TKO. Any machine needed for a complete workout can be found here along with free weights, stair climbers and the hard to find HiTrainer which uses the science of high intensity interval training for rapid and effective conditioning in a minimum of time. For high level athletes, this type of training results in an increase in performance, strength and a reduction in recovery time, all key factors for successful professional and amateur athletes as well as their coaches.  During our visit we were able to see a few members training with a huge tire, flipping it over from one end of the gym to the other. This is a well known technique used by all the top gyms and trainers around the world. This gym seems to thrive on cardio and strength training!

As we continue our tour we get to the Boxing/Muay Thai section of the gym. Heavy bags and a boxing ring are set up for perfecting your stand-up skills. Muay Thai expert Acharf Alaabouch is head trainer and he has the credentials and experience to offer top Muay Thai training to any skill level. Reynald Lavigne is also on site to coach boxing and he too is among the best in the business. Many members were on site that evening and training was intense. TKO FightClub Fitness is a gym for all ages and skill levels.  Beginners will easily find a class that suits thier needs and the more experienced member will perfect thier skills with the top trainers that have produced many professional fighters over the past decade.
