Not familiar with the school, and not familiar with SFAS (yet). That said, as a general rule I've never been impressed with the "fitness" aspect of most martial arts, Krav Maga included. Roycie jiu-jitsu seems to be an exception. I used to be part of a jeet kun do class in Falls Church (the Fighter's Garage) that shared space with a BJJ class - those guys were very serious about overall fitness (strength, speed, cardio / stamina, flexibility).

Krav Maga schools that I've seen tend to be marketing-based TKD-style shops targeting 20-30-something women. (Wait - why didn't I hang out there more??) Make them break a sweat by kicking and leave them totally defenseless in a fight.
