We’ve been coming to 5 Star Boxing for over two years, and my kids absolutely love it. Coach Greg is amazing—not only does he teach them how to exercise and get stronger, but he’s also a great mentor. Since starting at 5 Star Boxing, my kids’ confidence has increased so much. We couldn’t be happier with the experience!

Since starting boxing at 5 Star I’ve lost weight, added muscle, and built endurance. I can now run farther and faster than I ever thought I could. I’ve learned proper boxing technique, including conditioning, and breathing. The gym’s atmosphere is fun and focused. 5 Star has taught me that real progress comes from consistency and dedication. Overall, I’ve become stronger, more confident, and more motivated in everything I do.

Whether you coming in just for fitness or you want to compete and go pro this is the place to be. I came in with my 2 boys and wanted to show them what boxing is.

My experience with 5 Star Boxing and Fitness has been nothing short of Amazing. As the name suggests, the gym offers two distinct paths: boxing and fitness — and it excels at both. If you’re looking to get in shape or simply stay active, 5 Star is a welcoming environment that blends boxing and functional training to help you reach your fitness goals. As someone who walked in overweight, I can attest that this gym is truly a judgment-free zone. The only expectation is that you challenge yourself to get a little better every day. By working with Coach Greg, I lost 50 pounds during my first summer here — and genuinely had an amazing time doing it. That being said, if you’re looking to learn and develop real boxing skills, whether as a hobbyist or an aspiring fighter, this gym is no-nonsense. From the moment I walked in, I was surrounded by a family of fighters of all ages and fitness levels, all thriving on hard work, discipline, and a shared drive to push their limits. Led by coaches who refuse to lower their standards for anyone, this family instills resilience, confidence, and the work ethic needed to succeed — both inside and outside the ring — all while fostering humility, courage, and integrity within its fighters. The lessons I learned in this gym carried me through college and continue to guide me through life. 5 Star is an incredible place to grow as both an athlete and a person. My only regret is not finding it sooner. I highly recommend this gym to anyone and everyone.

My daughter has been going to 5Star for over 2 years now. When she first started I was driving her. Greg(the owner and coach) has always been conscientious and constructive. Still to this day, he makes sure she is dressed for the weather and knows when she is coming and going. When she wanted to join 5Star instead of Title or some place more commercial I was skeptical that it was a good idea. However, I have never been disappointed with the coaching she receives and the results she has had.
