At EDGE Holistic Fitness, we strive for excellence beyond convention by providing our clients with a holistic program. EDGE distinguishes itself from conventional personal training programs by implementing high intensity, short duration workouts - saving our clients both time and money - while providing superior results.
At EDGE Holistic Fitness, we focus on creating dynamic and formidable workouts designed to help our clients achieve their specific fitness goals. We coach and inspire our clients to enjoy the intrinsic challenges of effective exercises, building not only physical strength, but mental fortitude as well.
Group Personal Training is similar to 1-on-1 Personal Training, except with a couple perks: you get to indulge in the experience with friends and family, and, it's a bit more affordable due to shared cost. Our expert Personal Trainers can modify exercises to accommodate the needs of each individual; making it possible for novice clients to train along side advanced clients.
Compound Performance Training is a high intensity circuit training class that is designed to burn fat, improve muscle tone, develop functional strength and flexibility. We use a mixed-modality approach - combining dynamic resistance training exercises with plyometric drills to induce peak metabolic stress requisite for growth and progress.
Essentially, this spin class creates a full body training effect - and with it - full body lactic acid surges that will leave your body fat defenseless. This dynamic not only adds more variety and fun, but also burns significantly more calories and tones more muscle vs. traditional spin classes. Push your body to the limit through a grueling array of speed, power, and hill sprints.

I started kickboxing about a year and a half before joining Kinetic Kickboxing. However, the learning process started all over again and I gained more knowledge than I could imagine. Mike is truly hands-on and passionate about what he does. His classes are interactive and challenging in all of the good ways. He really believes in his students and sees their highest potential when they may not yet see it in themselves. I made more progress than I expected because of Mike’s style of teaching and technique. He provided creative analogies and demonstration in the class, making it easier to understand

I've never boxed or kickboxed before, and while joining felt somewhat intimidating, Michael is such a fluid leader that he gives everyone combos according to their skill level. He gives one-on-one focus throughout so that you can feel confident on your form, and within a few weeks you really feel like you're getting the hang of it. You will be able to hold a roundhouse kick with amazing balance in no time.
Brand new bags and mats, as well as ridiculously welcoming peers, make this a one-of-a-kind experience.

Fun, group oriented, well-led. As an instructor, Michael does well to constructively critique strengths and weaknesses in form while also keeping in mind the limitations of the practitioner. It was my first time kickboxing and I walked away with a huge new knowledge base. As someone interested in martial arts, I have a deep respect for body control and generated power. Michael has both. It's clear that kickboxing is a great love of his and he does well to inspire his students by displaying possibilities of movement.

This kickboxing class was definitely different from all the other ones I’ve tried in Pasadena. Unlike the other classes that feature a timed circuit style workout, Kinetic Kickboxing had a more deliberate pace about it.
The class asks you to put all your energy into one combination of moves at a time, and gives you just the right amount of rest in between. It’s like the sprint workout of kickboxing classes.
Mike is a very knowledgeable trainer and during the workout he goes around making sure you’re doing the right thing and not hurting yourself. He asks you to push hard, but never past

This was my first kickboxing class ever and I had a ton of fun! Nothing feels better than smacking the hell out of one of those bags.
Mike, the instructor, is one of those magnetic personalities that is fun to be around and makes everything exciting. His background in martial arts make him a very knowledgeable teacher. He has a great way of instructing people and drawing the best out of them, teaching proper technique and correcting/tweaking those that need adjustment.
There were all sorts of different skill levels in the class I attended and every single person learned something new and got

I've always been weary of exercising in group sessions due to a few factors: 1) a lack of guidance, 2) less attention to detail, and 3) the intimidation factor.
Taking a Kinetic Kickboxing class with Mike is a completely different experience. The class size is always reasonable (between 4 - 7 people), which allows Mike to make sure everyone is practicing the proper technique. Mike has all of us introduce ourselves to one another and that adds a sense of familiarity and belonging amongst all of us. The variety of combinations and exercises makes things enjoyable, because every class is always different

I am 58 years old and love this Kinetic Kickboxing class! The class size is small and students of all skill levels participate together. Our instructor Mike Miller, spends one-on-one time with each student in refining the skills we are learning as we practice techniques together. He is very enthusiastic and knowledgable about what he is teaching us and is extremely patience. Reasons to take this class? I wanted to build stamina, increase my heart strength, boost my energy and increase my flexibility. Mission is being accomplished. I feel great and am happy with the progress I am making! I have

This was a fantastic class, with lots of positive energy, small number, therefore plenty of one on one from Mike, the instructor, who was awesome, by the way. Though, I have had martial arts experience this class felt challenging enough to keep me from being bored yet achievable enough to not let me feel out of shape, since being away from it all for over a decade. I would definitely recommend the class to all beginners and most intermediate learners. However, I have a feeling Mike most likely has other curriculum in place for the advanced learners. You should explore that, I intend to!

When Michael Mills told me he was putting together a kickboxing training program program, I got excited. I first got to know Mike in a business setting, but it wasn't long before I started doing some weight training with him. I am a guy that is very active, does triathlons and acts like he is 20 years younger than what my mom keeps telling him I am....but Mike's workouts were a revelation to me. Precise, effective, informative and never had I been so sore, in all the right places, as I was after his sessions. So I knew that if he applied himself to a kickboxing program, I wanted in! I was not disappointed
