I've been training here for ~9 months now - starting from scratch. I came for the challenging workouts and expert instruction, but stayed for the always welcoming attitude of the coaches and team - I'm hooked!
Been going here for 5 months. The classes have been great as someone interested in learning about boxing starting at zero. Super welcoming vibe. Even though they are group classes, the instructors are good at providing individual feedback.
