This is an amazing local gym with a great sense of community. You will not only find boxing, but kickboxing, self defense, kenpo karate, strength training and other amazing classes throughout the week. All skill levels welcome as you go at your own pace. No matter what class, when, or who is leading, you will get a great workout. If you come consistently for 2-3 months, I guarantee you'll be in the best shape of your life.

This place was recommended to me by some family members who had seen a Groupon and started attending weeks prior. After some old fashioned peer pressure, I reluctantly bought a Groupon and started attending class as well. Although I absolutely hate working out, I'm so happy I found this place! All the staff and teachers are so kind and encouraging, especially when I don't think I can go on and want to just go home. I am still out of shape but I've already built my stamina up, have noticed a positive change in my body and have more confidence in my self defense ability

We had our first class just yesterday with my fiancé and it was great! The place is great, small, affordable and they’ll kick your butt with the workout. We got trained on how to wrap our hands and got fitted for gloves. They showed us the basic moves for boxing and we were then put in a class! Our instructor was amazing and showed us what to do each time. We rotated between boxing and a circuit type workout. I look forward to continuing to come here and improve my fitness!!

No joke, I love this place. I started training with the staff here almost two years ago. I knew nothing about martial arts. I just knew that I needed to get in shape and didn't want to go back to a "normal" gym.
This place is small and, at times, feels more like a club than a gym. You'll quickly get to know people, if not by name then by face. And you'll find that everyone is cheering for each other's success.
Owner Greg Eck has been one of the primary instructors I've trained under. His classes are accessible to beginners as well as more experienced martial artists. And they're a great workout
