My name is Tanya Gomez, I will be leading the women's boxing program at Warrior Elite Fitness. I have been passionate about fitness and learning self defense for over 10 years. My journey started with completing the P90X program, followed by joining my first self defense class in Krav Maga, Israeli defense training. I flourished in this class and developed a deep passion for martial arts. I continued training in Kick-Boxing and then Muay Thai, followed by Jujitsu and Yoga.

 Unfortunately, due to injuries I had to limit my training to boxing. Today, I train hard in boxing consistently, and have developed the passion to help others learn how to box and learn self defense.

I love to help others learn, live a healthy lifestyle, and teach people how to develop confidence. Whether someone has been through abuse, has had trauma, has low self esteem, or looking to build confidence in themselves and become healthier and stronger, this is the class for you. 

In my boxing class, one can expect strength training, cardio conditioning, foot work, breath control, boxing technique, and technical sparring. Shape your body and mind to be the best person you can be for yourself.
