Rob’s is a great boxing gym with absolutely killer vibes and top-notch coaches. Equipment is fresh, bags don't sag, and the ring's legit; I've built serious power and speed here in just months and went on to win a few belts. Very welcoming, no jerks (except me), just folks grinding it out, blasting playlists, and getting fit to fight or just fit. If you're serious about getting started hit up the Intro to Boxing on Monday. If you are a Masters Class fighter a beginner or anywhere in between you will fit right in.

My husband and I joined this boxing gym for multiple reasons. We have been searching for a legitimate boxing gym in the area and this is it! Coach Rob is so kind, helpful, supportive, knowledgeable and understanding. I highly recommend this gym. The classes change constantly so you are always learning new skills and it’s always so much fun. I say this completely honestly: I look forward to going to these classes so much that it feels like Christmas Eve the night before we go! I love it. You won’t be disappointed.

I've been going to Rob's Fight Club for about a month and a half now. This has been one of the best decisions I've made. Everyone at the gym is welcoming and there's really no room for an ego. I used to fight at different gyms but the coaches at RFC truly care about their members. The instruction is high quality and the coaches are right there to push you to be your best. No matter the class I go to each week, I always have fun and get a great workout.
