Being that I love fitness I was so excited to try Champs Boxing! The staff is so knowledgeable and the women's class rocked! The owner is also very attentive and there to meet all our needs! It wasn't intimidating at all. I left feeling great and super energized. I think the best thing in a workout class is that the instructor is energetic and motivating and that is Champs !

Without a doubt THE BEST boxing gym in CT/NY - this is NOT “cardio boxing class gym” like Rumble ! It’s a REAL boxing gym and all the trainers have pro or semi-pro experience. My son loves it and goes 3x a week - reasonable rates too !

Champs is one of the best boxing gyms out there. True professionals! AJ and his team are knowledgeable in all things sports related. Coach Dave is an amazing boxing coach. One of the best minds in boxing with tons of very intricate experience from some of the best names in boxing. Has been in Canelo's camp along with many others! Give this place a go, you will not regret it!
