Avoid This Gym – Overcrowded, Overpriced, and Mismanaged

I regretfully singled up to this gym through “coach” Trevor about 4 months ago and unfortunately quickly realized it was nothing more than a sales pitch for his dull, repetitive classes. He’s there to sell you on a membership, but don’t expect to see him again after you sign up.

The later classes are packed into a tiny and overcrowded space where you can barely move without bumping into someone. The training hours are also far from ideal, with the last class ending at 6:30 PM making it difficult for anyone with a typical work schedule to attend.

While the trainers are friendly and seem to genuinely care, their ability to provide engaging and effective training is severely limited by the lack of resources Trevor provides. Yet, despite the subpar experience, the prices are absolutely outrageous for what you’re getting.

DO NOT sign up for a long-term membership. When my work schedule changed and I could no longer attend the 6:30 PM class, Trevor was completely indifferent and offered no solutions—just told me I was out of luck.

At the end of the day, this gym operates like a money grab. Trevor’s only concern is getting people locked into contracts, stuffing as many people as possible into a cramped space, and then disappearing. To the trainers who work there, I truly hope you start your own gym—this place would be nothing...

Since we can’t reply to your reply on our original. I appreciate your attempt to apologize but you’re still not being transparent. I want the whole truth about what transpired yesterday. My son deserves that and so do I. I’m sure the USA boxing board will be requesting one too. We DID confirm. Many times per your requests. We were sent bouts saying so. One of your other fighters backed out but that wasn’t my son’s problem. Why were they placed in my son’s spot versus being the fighter that was turned away. You didn’t just make one honest mistake, this scenario happened to multiple fighter yesterday. The. You lied stating my son backed out. We have spoken to both other families stating Nino was supposed to fight Evan and they were told that morning that Evan backed out which is NOT true and you know it. I have receipts! It is true that you screwed up but I’m demanding transparency on what happened. I believe you accepted a monetary offer from the family that should have been turned away. Prove my assumption wrong, please. These pictures of proof show that we have been approved, matched and expecting yesterdays bout...

I’ve been a member for a little more than a year and I’m very happy with the staff, training, and environment. I take part in both boxing and strength and conditioning. Laurie is your trainer for strength and conditioning and she is amazing. She will work you, and the best part is you won’t get bored, and you will be safe. She takes time to ensure your form is correct while helping you to get stronger. While all of the boxing trainers have their own style they are all amazing and they too ensure you are safe and using correct form. The classes are a mix of boxing technique, cardio, and conditioning. You will sweat, your heart rate will rise, and you will leave feeling like you worked out.... Most importantly you will be supported no matter your goal! Definitely worth the trip and the first...
