EXCELLENT Based on 224 reviews Dean Phillips2025-06-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Owner was cool. I’m from out of town. I stopped by for a few days. No hassles and cool folks! I love places like this. Justin Pham2025-05-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I joined this gym to learn boxing and get in shape. I’m not going to lie it was difficult at first, especially after being pretty sedentary in an office job for two years. After pushing myself and going consistently to the classes, I could tell I was improving. It also helped that most of the members, staff, and Coach Aaron were very friendly and that motivated me to keep going. Unfortunately I had to stop going because of my new work schedule, but I would recommend this place to anyone!
