- Joe Lauzon - Shedding The Underdog Tag February 22, 2012They called it a major upset. Why? That’s a mystery, considering that Joe Lauzon had gone 7-3 in his previous 10 UFC bouts, ending five of them via the ground game that was opponent Melvin Guillard’s Achilles heel in the Octagon. But when October 8, 2011 rolled around in Houston, Texas, many fans and pundits feared for Lauzon’s health against the Louisiana k […]

A year after the Ring bout, Fukuda has recovered from both setbacks, grateful for the support he received from the fight community, espec […]

- Pressure Breaks Pipes, but not Kid Yamamoto February 21, 2012Pressure in the fight game is always relative. When someone is trying to punch you in the face or make you submit, that’s pretty rough in and of itself. So when you add in the ideas of trying to break a string where you were 1-4 in your last five fights, along with fighting in your home country for the first time in nearly two years, are those factors more p […]

“After exploring a bunch of gyms in the Portland area, I found the perfect gym, instructor, and atmosphere. Not only was I guaranteed to get a massive sweat, but a challenge for the mind, body and spiritually while still having loads of fun!I was soon engaged with a genuinely great group of guys where I found camaraderie, humility, discipline and the teamwork needed to accomplish my goals. Erik Wander is truly a martial arts master with an uncanny method of communicating and coaching each individual with a personal touch. Thank you Erik, Extending Fitness, and Team TSN for the opportunity to be a part of something bigger that has been extremely life-giving to myself and family.“

“I was looking for a way to get OUT of the gym and still achieve my fitness goals. I found it in Erik’s classes. I was completely physically challenged with my previous fitness level before starting with Erik 1.5 years ago but now I have gained agility, flexibility, stregnth, better cardio and have lost inches! I love the variety as no two classes are the same. AND it’s FUN! It’s the best money I have spent for fitness!”

“I just turned 16 and I have been with Extending Fitness from the start. I absolutely love to train with Erik. He is an amazing person to be around and how he goes about training is by far the best. I wouldn’t go to any other place to train. At Extending Fitness, we are all a big family and we take care of each other when need be.Erik’s training processes are hard on your body and test your ability to see how far you can go. There is always something new to learn. I recommend Extending Fitness to all my firends.”

“My sixteen year old son has trained with Erik for 6 years. Erik’s training technique and mastery of his art has transformed an awkward, clumsy teenager into a confident, respectful young man. Erik’s approach to training starts with respect for others and most of all to yourself, this allows with the conditioning of your mind and body. My son’s confidence level stands out amongst his peers but not to the point of arrogance. I highly recommend Extending Fitness and Erik Wander to all ages for conditioning of the mind and body. “

“Five years ago I was looking for a way OUT of the gym, yet still achieve my fitness goals. With Erik’s training I have been able to manage my weight, gain agility, flexibility, strength and improve my cardio. With his background and creativity he offers varieties of ways to work out which keep you guessing as to “what’s next” and although it IS hard work, I manage to have fun. One of the many benefits for me is I don’t have to put my own work out together or be anonymous in a large class somewhere. I am consantly challenged and it is very rewarding. It is truly the best money I have spent for fitness!”
Stan
“I’ve been attending class with Erik now for about a year and a half, 3 times a week. When I started I could barely do 3 squate. Now, I am in the best shape I’ve been since pre-babies. I have great endurance and super muscle tone now. He always pushes you to go the distance, but also gives you a way that may be easier. He’s funny, light-hearted but serious about giving you the most bang for your buck.
For the first time in years, I can wear a bikini and not be embarrased. I highly recommend his diverse approach to exercise.”
