Train like a combat athlete—even before you step onto the mats.
Fight Fit is a 90-minute coached class at Empower Every Body Fitness in Vancouver designed to help adults build the strength, conditioning, movement, and resilience needed for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, judo, boxing, Muay Thai, wrestling, MMA, and other combat sports.
Whether you're already training or thinking about starting, Fight Fit helps you perform better, recover smarter, and stay in the game longer.
Combat sports have a funny way of breaking down even the most dedicated athletes. Sore shoulders, aching backs, tweaked knees, and injuries that keep you off the mats for weeks—or even months—are all part of the game.
That's where Fight Fit comes in.
Every class is designed to build the physical qualities combat athletes rely on while helping reduce the wear and tear that comes with regular training. Rather than adding another punishing workout to your week, you'll spend 90 minutes building strength, resilience, and movement quality so you leave feeling better than when you walked in—and more prepared for your next training session.
Fight Fit develops the physical qualities that matter most when you're on the mats or in the ring.
You'll build:
Grip strength
Pulling strength
Rotational power
Hip strength
Trunk stability
Explosive power
Work capacity
Fight-specific conditioning
The ability to repeatedly produce force while fatigued
This program combines years of martial arts and strength & conditioning experience into training that supports — rather than competes with — your time on the mats or in the ring.



Fight Fit is built for adults who train:
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)
Judo
Boxing
Muay Thai
Wrestling
MMA
Karate and other striking or grappling arts
Maybe you've always wanted to try Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or judo but aren't sure your body is ready.
Fight Fit is an ideal on-ramp.
You'll develop strength, mobility, conditioning, balance, coordination, and confidence before stepping into a combat sport class, making your transition smoother and less intimidating.
Each 90-minute class combines strength training, conditioning, movement, and mat work into one purposeful session.
Expect:
Dynamic movement preparation and mobility
Functional strength training with kettlebells, dumbbells, sleds, medicine balls, and bodyweight
Rotational power and loaded carries
Conditioning designed around the demands of combat sports
Crawling, grappling movement, and mat drills
Recovery strategies that support long-term athletic development
This is not sparring and not a martial arts technique class — It's physical preparation that helps you perform better when you do train your sport..
