Alton Street Boxing & Fitness

My 13-year old daughter has been attending classes at Alton Street Boxing & Fitness for almost one year. She has gained an impressive level of skill as well as fitness attending 1-2 classes per week. More importantly, she absolutely loves it. Charles and the other instructors have a great tone with kids, treating them with respect and setting high expectations with positive reinforcement. It is a clean and neat studio and the on-line sign up process for classes couldn't be easier. My only reason not to give 5 stars would be to keep this gem less well known!

I've been taking boxing classes here for a few months and love it. The staff and other students are very welcoming and down-to-earth. The workouts are unlike anything I've done before and leave me feeling so happily exhausted. Heartily recommend!

I can't say enough about this gym - the teachers are talented and the community is welcoming. My daughter and I have gained so much - fitness and well being - by joining this gym!

This place is a gem. My husband and I enjoy and look forward to working out here. Charles is one of the best instructors and takes the time to teach every technique till we get it right. We have attended both USA boxing and Muay Thai with him and they have been really great learning experiences. We also love the Cardio Bags class which is more intense but very fulfilling. There is also an energy movements class which is very relaxing at the end of the week. We had tried kickboxing at a different studio and it felt like we were being rushed into the moves with no focus on technique..and we thought this is not for us. Alton St. Boxing however changed our minds and I'm very glad we found this place! It is clean, not crowded and the instructors genuinely pay attention to each student!

I took boxing classes for almost a year and will be returning post injury unrelated!. Was in friendly competent hands with Todd and Charles. The facility was clean and had a lot of different options for things to do and classes to take. Can't wait to go back, I made a lot of friends and had a lot of fun.

I love working out here! Charles is amazing, and he is extremely knowledgeable and polite. He knows how to push you and is able to get the best workout out of you regardless of your boxing level. The overall feel is very private and you'll never feel like you're just another check number. Charles is very good at getting to know you on a personal level, and makes you feel comfortable with your abilities. If you're looking for a great place to work out and hit the bags this is the place for you! I highly recommend Alton Street Boxing & Fitness. Diego A.

I train boxing here with the excellent instructor Todd- an extremely clean, well-outfitted facility with a passionate staff and reasonable prices. It's very easy to communicate with them via phone or email- which is something you don't take for granted after struggling to do so at a lot of different gyms! Highly recommended.

I've known Charles for 44 years. He's a man of great integrity and honesty. He's got a great martial arts/boxing/fitness facility, conveniently located in Arlington Center; the students are nice and respectful and the school is very clean. The students not only learn about martial arts, but they also learn about the virtues of community service, fair play and doing the right thing. I was involved in martial arts for a number of years and I love the positive attitude Charles brings to work. I recommend Alton Street Boxing & Fitness highly.

Alton Bay Boxing and Fitness empowers me mentally and physically through Boxing class each Wednesday evening. Both instructor Charles and Todd have guided me through boxing to grow physically and mentally self- aware and stronger. Both encourage and provide individual and group advancement, in an atmosphere In which we all encourage each other in precision, respect and discipline through the education and art of Boxing. I also very much appreciate and rely on Instructor Charles’s Energy Healing session, and find it a most valuable piece to my health. It provides mental clarity, and leaves me relaxed, clear, calm and energized.

I'm so glad I stumbled into this place. Was welcomed instantly and saw that it was a great environment/community. Charles is great at working with any skill level, so if you are curious, looking for a great workout and stress release, never having boxed before should not stop you. If you have, Charles and Todd still have so much to offer and you can count on being encouraged to push yourself harder. I'm probably addicted to it ....
