Van Soest trains at Black House with some of the top female combat fighters in the world.
"It's great," Van Soest said of Black House. "I couldn't ask for a better group of guys to train with. Everybody at Black House shows up and works hard at making each other better. It's all about sharpening your skills at that gym. There's just one or two other females that train out of there on a regular basis. Kaiyana Rain, and Jessica Penne comes in also, so most of the time, it's just the three of us. We definitely get our work in. You can walk into that gym on any given day and see a UFC superstar. If you're not ready for it, it can catch you off guard."
