EXCELLENT Based on 258 reviews Posted on Google Amalia BrownellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love their women’s boxing class. I picked up the class after not working out in years and never boxed before and had a great time. Coaches are helpful and will push you to work hard without putting the spotlight on you. If you’re a woman who’s been thinking about trying out boxing, this is a great class to try out.Posted on Google Misleydis TejedaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son started here not too long ago but we are SO happy. This is a safe place with great coaches where the Kids can learn respect and teamwork. I encourage all the parents to bring their Kids to train here. Even though my son just started I can already see the positive changes on his attitude and how he is improving his social skills as well.Posted on Google Jay BrownTownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
