The boxing class here is a HUGE disappointment. The instructor seemed disinterested and lacked proper knowledge, leaving us feeling unguided throughout the session and the instructor just distracted and kept talking to someone else. The facility was poorly maintained, with shabby equipment that was borderline unsafe to use. Additionally, the class was overcrowded, making it challenging to receive any individual attention. Save your time and money, and look for a better boxing class elsewhere.
Terrific boxing gym with serious instructors that can help if you’re interested in amateur competition or in working out. Arturo is a great guy and pays close attention to his students’ needs. Keep in mind that classes can get busy and there are students of all different skill levels. Arturo will provide personal attention but to truly learn the sport, you need private training or to join the fight team. He’s a pro fighter with a great record and a great demeanor—the gym’s culture comes from his positivity. Easily one of my favorite places in the whole of the Bay Area. A note for beginners: proper footwork and punching technique are the most essential components of boxing and when you’re starting out, they’re both difficult and tedious. It takes a while to truly learn how to throw a punch and how to hit the heavy bag let alone how to spar. Give it time, past those first few sessions. And if classes seem tedious, try starting out with a couple private lessons.
I lost over 30 lbs in 6 months taking classes at this gym. If your diet is on point, the class will take care of the rest in a fun, engaging way.
This is a good boxing gym. People here are friendly and willing to help each other. I have been going to this gym after work consistently for about 6 months now. I always look forward to working hard and sweating with the class.
Arturo is the instructor in this gym and he has been boxing champion. If you are new, he always look into you punches and try to fix them. Place is friendly and you can easily team up with other people. The exercises are awesome, you do them with other people for an hour. Lots of calories would be burnt. It is a great sport if you get tired of school or your job during the day.
We have done drop ins and I like that my son feels good afterwards. The problem with this place is out of the three times I have gone to take my kid for drop ins, no one is there at the front dest to receive guests or to handle sign up or payments. The instructor is busy with the kids so he can't handle all that, even after talking to him three times about it. He just had me sign a waiver and he said I have to handle the payments and scheduling with the owner. The owner hasn't been there the three times I've taken my child for drop in classes. The fourth time I take my son, I see the owner, he's late... he's running the class today and then he tells my son he's not a member in front of other children and they didn't let him join and he came out crying. He said the other kids were laughing at him. It's a good thing I stayed in the parking lot. It's not my sons fault or ours because the owner hasn't been there to receive payments and he's late and never available for the conversation. He needs to hire a receptionist to handle his business transactions so his business is run more smoothly. I hope our next experience is better, as my husband went in after the incident to attempt to talk to the owner and get the payment and paper work in order. This again, is communication issues and can be resolved but doesn't reflect on anything but my experience with communication and the owners lack of having someone available for his front desk. We hope to get the issue resolved because it seems like a good thing for my son. I hope the owner will take this as constructive criticism and learning experience.
Great workout in a new gym. Instructor, staff and everyone is very friendly. One of the only gyms which really focus in technique. Been coming here for 2+ years and love it.
The gym is all about boxing. People are friendly and are willing to help. A great place if you want to get good at boxing.
Love this gym. It's such a great workout. The coaches are great and really teach proper technique. There's such a great family atmosphere here.
Private lesson w Arturo was awesome! Learned a ton, and a great workout.
