My experience at bare bones has been outstanding. Great community, great guys, great boxing knowledge. They will get you in amazing shape and the best you’ve ever felt. I started working with Mike - a personal boxing coach just a few months ago and have transformed and gotten so much better since then. It’s all on your own time and schedule and Mike can work you around his schedule as well. Overall 10/10 coach great dude and great place.

One of our 9 year old twins has been having 1:1 Sessions with Coach Mike. He is helping him find his confidence and pushing him to be his best self. Love seeing him in his element. He is pumped about what comes next. After his 1:1 he is planning to start the kids classes. The energy in the gym always gets us pumped up.

Bare Bones Boxing has been such an amazing experience for my daughter! The programs are fantastic, and the instructors are incredibly knowledgeable. They take the time to explain everything clearly and make sure everyone feels comfortable, no matter their skill level. I love that they offer different levels so everyone can grow at their own pace. My daughter Vivianna is so happy she joined — she absolutely loves her classes and has so much fun while getting an incredible workout. She’s finally ready to start sparring, which is so exciting for her! Thank you, Bare Bones, for building her confidence and skills. We couldn’t be happier!

I just want to take a moment to share how incredible Barebones Boxing Gym has been for my son and me. The time we’ve spent training there — especially working with Coach Mike — has meant so much to both of us. Training alongside my son has been an experience I’ll always value, and Coach Mike has a special way of making every session both fun and challenging. He’s patient, motivating, and knows how to connect with all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re brand new or experienced, he meets you where you are and pushes you to get better every time. My son looks forward to every session, and I’ve seen his confidence grow week after week. We’re grateful to be part of such a positive, supportive environment. Highly recommend Barebones Boxing and Coach Mike to anyone looking for great coaching and an even better community.

Bare Bones Boxing is truly a special place. I’ve been a member for 3 months now and I’m seeing progress in every area from my mindset, stamina, and technique. Huge props to one of the best and baddest instructors in the game...Dwight! Taking his Saturday morning class has taken me to a Whole Nother Level!! That carries into my everyday life. Coach Mike on the mitts is another beast! He’s helped me tap into a level I didn’t even know I had. BBB is my therapy, my church, and my motivational outlet all in one. You leave your stress at the door and lock into the grind of pure sweat and grit. Whether taking a class or mitts session, this is always the highlight of my day. The energy here is LOVE! It’s a gift and a blessing to be a part of a community that pushes you toward GREATNESS. Grateful for my gym home! ❤️🥊🔥
