I was nervous at first about going to a martial arts gym because I had no idea what I was doing! I got to watch a class before I started and saw that everyone was really engaged and focused on what they were doing. Bob worked with everyone throughout the training and gave pointers on improving technique and form. I soon started and damn, every muscle in my body got worked! Going to his martial arts class taught me more discipline and improved my confidence. I saw muscle build as I felt like my butt got kicked after every session! Bob is able to teach you whatever you need including weapons self defense, training for fights, or just training to get in shape. I like the variety of heavy bags and free weights to train on. I will def continue to train with him and recommend him to my friends or anyone interested in really learning martial arts.

If you are willing to work hard, listen and really push yourself, this is the place for you. Coach Bob is so knowledgeable and is willing to teach anyone who really wants to learn a skill. I have worked out at many locations and to be 100% honest this place may not be the prettiest, but the caliber of coaching and teaching that goes on are world class! Not too mention the group that trains here are all awesome people! Best shape of my life, thanks coach Bob!

I didn't know the first thing about boxing/fighting before coming to this gym. Over time I was able to start fighting. Eventually I became a world-ranked amateur kick boxer under Coach Bob at this gym. The people are all very friendly and the coach will teach you how to fight, or just get in shape. I'd recommend this gym to anyone. It's a great time and you'll learn a thing or two.

Not great. I've trained in a garage that had been repurposed into a boxing gym before. That's what they're going for here, but the place has fallen into disrepair. I was doing leg raises and my hand was brushing against a table saw that was tossed on the concrete floor, the admin/desk area was so full of garbage and boxes that no one could actually use it. When I was doing jump rope, my rope hit a mop bucket that was out on the floor. The folks who where there training were nice, all introduced themselves, very positive and the banter while training was good despite the environment, but I got a very distinctive feeling like every class is more or less the same: 3 rounds jump rope, 3 rounds shadow boxing, 3 rounds various drills, 3 rounds of cardio. A) I don't need to pay $100 a month to do most of that and B) the coach was very hands off. Just kind of sat there. I got a few pointers from him, but again, my last trainer was very engaged, making on-the-fly changes to my form, stance, changing up the pace of the workout, etc. If someone doesn't know how to box at ALL, you're not going to learn here.

I've been training under Bob Barnum since 2008. You will not find a more complete system of combatives in the Pittsburgh area. This gym has something for everyone. If you want to learn how to protect yourself, American Freestyle covers all of those bases including gun and knives. The Freestyle classes are intense and self defense oriented which constantly throw new challenges at you, making you rely on the training to work your way through it. If you just want a fun way to get in shape, the boxing and kickboxing classes has you covered. Coach Bob will shoot straight with you, no bullshit. I can't recommend this gym enough!
