Rock Steady Boxing - East Hartford CT

Bare Bones is an exceptional boxing gym that I am very grateful for. The owner, Clayton, is very attentive and considerate of everyone who drops in. I've been going here for years and have never had a negative experience. All of the trainers are extremely knowledgeable and personable. I highly recommend Bare Bones for both experienced and novice gym-goers!

Best boxing workout I've been to and the atmosphere is unmatched! Bare bones is not only a challenging workout for someone at any level of fitness, but there is a true sense of community with instructors that care and motivate you to be your best. 10/10 recommend!

Bare bones boxing is more than just a cardio boxing establishment. It's where strangers can become friends and friends become family. The energy here is always on point with driving you to push your limits. From kids class all the way up to classes for seniors they strive to make you sweat and walk out feeling refreshed. Keep on keeping on Bare Bones

Having always wanted to box, I’ve had nothing short of an incredible experience at Barebones! The trainers are top notch and throw everything but the kitchen sink at you for some amazing workouts, either in the ring or on the bags, weights or cardio circuits. The boxing classes are high energy and intense. The fitness instructors really push you to your limits and beyond, but keep it fun and upbeat. There are days I can’t wait to get there!

Bare Bones has something the big chain gyms don't have... HEART! They push you to your limit and at the same time make you feel comfortable and at home there. Would recommend to anyone at any level of fitness or skill. FIVE STARS!

From the amazing workouts, the knowledgeable and talented boxing trainers, the 90s hip hop playlists, to the down-to-earth and genuinely friendly vibe, BB feels like a safe haven from the often-superficial and isolating routines of our current world. If you want a great read: super challenging!, workout, the cardio boxing classes are awesome for all levels. If you want to learn to fight, you couldn't find a more welcoming, encouraging, and generous group of people to guide and support you. Either way, Clayton, Dwight, Mallory, Antonio, Anthony, and all the other trainers will help you push yourself further than you knew you could go, and inevitably help you build a kind of physical and mental strength that is absolutley invaluable both in and outside of the gym. But most importantly, BB really is a community and a family -- it sounds cliche but there are few places where you'll routinely feel the kind of support, encouragement, and genuine joy that thrives in BB. Clayton makes a point to get to know everyone and he and all the trainers never fail to greet everyone with what truly feels like genuine excitement. When you strip away the pomp and circumstance that seems to define many corporate gyms, you're left with the "bare bones" that BB excels at: real workouts, real training, and real people who truly support one another.

This place is so fun and challenging and great for all fitness levels. The instructors are great and very friendly. I will definitely be coming back

Best fitness classes around. Staff is very knowledgeable and motivational. Great gym, highly recommend.

The owner is really nice. The trainers there are amazing at what they do. I'm working with Antonio and he is showing me a lot of different combos and conditioning me so I'm ready for a fight. Great cardio boxing classes that come in handy when you're in the ring. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to just get in shape or if you want to get ready for a fight.

This is the best boxing club I have ever experienced!!!!!
