Krav Maga
Hello, I’m Dave Gerber, a dedicated professional in the fields of martial arts, corporate training, conflict management and leadership development. With a profound passion for teaching and empowerment, I have spent the last 15 years honing my skills in Krav Maga, a martial art that emphasizes practical self-defense techniques and personal safety. I am honored to hold a 2nd Degree Black Belt and serve as a Certified Instructor at Next Level Martial Arts under 8th degree Master Joseph Edmondson. I am honored to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with students of all ages and backgrounds.
My first black belt journey in Krav Maga began under the expert guidance of Sam Sade, a respected 7th Dan Black Belt. Through rigorous training and commitment, I not only developed advanced self-defense skills but also gained valuable insights into training people of all backgrounds and abilities. My experiences and rigorous study of top experts in the Krav Maga community have shaped my approach to teaching, as I strive to instill the most proven techniques, confidence and resilience in my students.
In addition to my martial arts background, I am the owner of Synergy Development & Training, where I specialize in corporate conflict management, leadership training, executive coaching, and motivational speaking. My work in these areas is deeply informed by my extensive education. I believe that understanding the complexities of human behavior and social dynamics can significantly enhance our professional environments. Over the years, I have had the privilege of empowering and supporting more than 10,000 individuals from diverse professional backgrounds, helping them navigate conflicts and develop leadership skills that foster effective teamwork and collaboration.
My approach to training is holistic and dynamic; I focus on creating safe spaces for individuals to explore their potential and confront their fears. Whether through a physical self-defense class or a corporate workshop, I aim to blend practical skills with theoretical knowledge to ensure that participants walk away with actionable insights and increased self-confidence. I am passionate about cultivating environments where individuals feel empowered to take charge of their personal and professional lives.
As a motivational speaker, I share my experiences and insights with audiences, encouraging them to embrace challenges and view obstacles as opportunities for growth. I believe that every individual possesses unique strengths, and it is my mission to help them discover and harness those strengths for personal and professional success.
In my free time, I continue to train in Krav Maga and stay actively engaged in community service, working towards initiatives that promote safety, awareness, and empowerment for all. I am committed to fostering a culture of respect and understanding, both in the dojo and beyond. Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. I look forward to connecting with like-minded individuals and organizations that share my vision of empowerment, leadership, and resilience in both personal and professional realms.
Kickboxing Fundamentals
When I first started my fitness journey 10 years ago, I started from scratch. I was out of shape and was lost. I walked into my first workout class, not realizing the effects that it would have. Fast forwarding today, I've lost over 40 pounds, coached athletes at all levels, qualified for national-level Olympic weightlifting competitions, and trained in various martial arts.
I've been training Jiujitsu and kickboxing for the past 3 years. Starting with no prior background, learning the fundamentals became essential. Learning these martial arts gave me the confidence and discipline that can be applied outside of the gym.
Overall, my mission is to make workouts more enjoyable. Whether athletes want to focus solely on weightlifting, kickboxing, or a hybrid of both, I ensure they achieve the results they deserve.

Mobility & Recovery Specialist
Greetings! My name is April Jones, and I am a Certified and Licensed Athletic Trainer. In 2018, I received my Bachelors of Science degree at East Stroudsburg University where I also played Division II Lacrosse, before a head injury removed me from the game my sophomore year. I specialize in diagnosing, treating and preventing athletic injuries, but with my strong background and education in body-mechanics, I am devoted to bring my knowledge to put in the work to help you become the healthiest and strongest version of yourself through proper technique when training.
I have been surrounded by sports and fitness my entire life. I can remember always being active whether it was shooting hoops, hitting the golf course or tossing the lacrosse ball around in the yard. I played many sports growing up including soccer, gymnastics, softball, golf, basketball and lacrosse. In high school I played golf, basketball, and lacrosse, and had many athletic accomplishments along with them. But, when I was a freshman in high school I started to get serious about wanting to LEVEL UP on the field, as I was being recruited to play college lacrosse. I got in contact with a local personal strength training coach, who recognized my potential and trained me HARD! Four years later, I was a starting freshman for the Division II program. When you put in the work, you will be rewarded!
My goal is to provide a positive, encouraging environment to help find and BUILD your hidden athletic potential and become who you strive to be on and off the field! I have a passion for educating people on how the body works and how to move with purpose. I believe in a “movement is medicine” mentality and I am thrilled to help people at all stages of life discover the true value of health and wellness.
