YOUR GREATNESS IS AWAITING YOU… ARE YOU READY?

Be a force to be reckoned with. Feel happy, centered and empowered with your new fit and strong body. When you feel great, others feel your powerful energy, and see your greatness. A fit body is a happy body. In a nutshell, that’s what MINORSAN is About.
MINORSAN Self-Defense & Fitness provides services for the greater Santa Cruz Community. I, Clara E Minor, am a 40-year business owner in Santa Cruz (since May 1985), and as a result, my expertise benefits you. Self-Defense & Whole Body Empowerment is my bottom line. Your Freedom is the result. It is what guides all my programming.

Safety is our priority in our FighterFit program and Self-Defense Workshops. Everyone as equally worthy of respect.
rom kickboxing for adults, self-defense workshops for Teen Girls, Women and young Children, an anti-bully curriculum, to leading-edge fitness classes, healthy lifestyle training, our Fitness Classes in Santa Cruz will bring you the results you’re looking for.

SHED YOUR EXCESS & FEEL GREAT AGAIN

Empowered Body Fitness is waiting for you. When you feel good, you look good, seeing that you can ‘feel’ the changes in your body.

As you continue with our workouts at Minorsan, you shed what no longer works for you, along with weight loss. Your body begins to feel fantastic, strong, and so empowered. 

There are lots of choices

You can find lots of fitness classes in our Santa Cruz community, however, there are none quite like the fitness classes at Minorsan. How do we know this? 

Current members tell us all the time—”there is nothing like this anywhere.” This sentiment includes our ambience, our culture, the way we do things here, and how much women are supported.

Finding your sweet spot is easy

Leaving your excess behind isn’t the easiest thing to do, surprisingly though, it’s much easier if you just do it. The real challenge is thinking about it. 

Once you start to feel the changes in your body, you’ll be confident in a whole new way.
