-Resistance bands are good for drilling punches and kicks for speed and power.

-Goblet squats. hold a dumbell in both hands (cupped upwards) against your chest and squat as normal.

see:

Even try kiba-dachi holds...

-Barbell rows.

-Punching combos with light weights.

-Kettlebell sets (presses, swings and get-ups).

-Cable pulls and woodchops.

-Les Mills CXWORX classes are insane, as are PX90 if you can find them readily available.

My experience is that gym-junkies (sorry... gym purists) tend to laugh at this style of training in gyms... so throw a jumping kick in there every now and then for good measure and to make them think twice about pretty bicepts vs active muscle use :)
