Staff is awesome! Miguel provides fantastic training in both the class & 1-on-1 setting. I'm finding myself getting amped up for the next class / session 1-2 days in advance. It's a workout like I haven't had in nearly 7 years & love every bit of it. The gym is a welcoming environment as staff help get you where you need to be & fellow 'boxers' have been friendly. Simply hooked!

This picture says a lot about this awesome gym. It not only delivers the intensity but also the warmth and encouragement to help ALL age groups achieve their goal AAAND have fun while you’re at it. The coaches push you! But you can sense the sincerity in their love for health. It’s not just a business for these guys. They clearly love what they do and that energy is transmitted into the workouts they give. I just love this place. I’ve moved further&been busy but I’ll definitely be commuting to this gym!

Best workout of my life. Found this place through a friend, bought the Groupon and got seriously addicted. I love everyone who works here—Wayne, Omar, Henry and Miguel have changed my workout game and motivated me beyond literally anyone else ever has. The bootcamp style classes will push you beyond your limits, but if you stay strong and positive you can do it. Absolutely love this place!!!
