Boxing Is For Girls — Local services in Salt Lake City

I almost never write negative reviews, but I was so shocked by my experience I had to. We did a drop in class at boxing for girls. I had done a small amount of kickboxing before but nothing serious so I was hoping for some instruction and guidance to the class. We got none of that. The owner and instructors seemed annoyed that we were there and didn't even seem like they wanted to be there. They were actually straight up rude to me, but I was willing to let it go for a good class. We did about 25% actual boxing with little to no explanation of technique. The rest of the class was just doing basic workouts (squats, pushups, burpees etc.) for 20 sec on 10 sec off. I looked around and most of the girls did not have good form and the reps were just too much that they were just stopping half way. I was seriously concerned that someone would get hurt because the instructors were not even bothering to explain how to do the exercises properly. Again, the instructors seemed completely uninterested in being there. I am honestly shocked they get anyone to even go there for $30 a class. In contrast I went to an intro Jui-Jitsu class and they were soooo welcoming and really took the time to explain everything.

I signed up for personal training with Eliza six weeks ago with a goal of getting stronger and more fit. I needed someone to be accountable to beyond myself and I’d passed by the BIFG studio for years and was always impressed by Eliza’s presence and her staying power in her community. Little did I know that I’d get so much more than a hard workout when I first entered her space. I don’t often meet people as dynamic as Eliza. She’s tough, but genuinely caring. She’s curious, but a natural teacher. She pushes me while respecting where I am on my fitness journey. She lives her life very authentically and she emanates wonderful energy. She cares about everything and everyone, even the little insects that find their way into her space. (Seriously, she carries them out to safety, it’s lovely.)

I’d honestly give her 10 stars if it were an option. You won’t regret becoming part of her community....

I have been exercising at BIFG for 6 years. We do a lot of weight training as well as boxing. 🥊. I am just finishing a 30 day BIFG Challenge which has been fun and exhausting because I have been walking with Eliza for 2 hours after my hour of weight training 4 days a week. Eliza is truly amazing! She is motivating, encouraging and so supportive! She constantly gets me doing things I did not know I could do at 75 1/2! I have learned so much from her and I appreciate her life coaching. I am strong and healthy. We have fun walking up the steep hills off 1100 East. We logged 8-10 miles each day. BIFG is very uplifting. When you walk into her studio, you work hard and feel strong and happy! Eliza and BIFG has gotten me is shape both mentally and physically. I just love 💕...
