The instructors really want you to learn good form and technique and will help you with it. The gym isn't anything fancy, but a good place to take some boxing classes.

Sweat. Bruises. Chalk. Fatigue…read more Whether you're training on boxing form and sparring, or hitting the kettle-bells, you're deal with all of that at ROC Boxing. And you'll thank them for it. I've been coming to this location, firmly posted across from Sticky Lip's BBQ's lot, for a few years on-and-off. If my school and work schedule wasn't so sporadic, I'd commit to a full membership instead of paying for one-off classes. There has not been a time I've worked out here and have not felt sore or completely winded. I love it! A lot of people I've asked to join me here have apprehensions because they think they will put on gloves and have to fight someone right away. THAT IS NOT THE CASE. There are several classes where it's simply workouts, conditioning, forms, and basic movements. Let me repeat this: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FIGHT ANYONE. I myself have not sparred, and have only done level 1 and 2 classes and it's just as much physically demanding as you would if you were in the ring. If you're feeling up for it, do it! The coaches here are very accommodating and will guide you through it. Speaking of which, every coach for their classes have their own style and method for having you work out in their classes but they universally all look out for their students' techniques and pushes them to power through. I really appreciate that. I give this place 4 stars because the facility can use some updating. Of course, a worn gym is a used gym, but for being around so long and having a following they could use some new equipment. Also, I frown charging for worn out wrap and glove rentals. I ended up buying my own stuff, but if people are paying to multi-use this equipment, it should be in better shape. Boxing is a sport that is now shadowed in the mainstream by MMA. However, it is still a sport of finesse, nimbleness and strategy. More people should give this place a shot at least once and challenge themselves to see what I mean :)

The beauty of M/Body is that they really offer everything, including personal training and some options for getting workouts in around normal class times. HIIT classes were (and still are) my absolute favorite, and the classes here are exciting and station based. I will never take barre again based on my experience here, but that has more to do with me and nothing to do with the quality of the classes - pretty sure this is one of the best barre experiences in the area...I just think all barre experiences are criminal and TORTURE. I digress. If you're looking for a snappy, clean facility in a perfect location, M/Body is for you. They consistently run specials on pricing and are especially good to their first timers. Give it a go if you've yet to try a class!

My time at bee relentless boxing was good in terms of the actual program, but I can't shake the…read morefeeling of getting scammed. "Coach" Stephen comes off as decent person on the surface, but his true nature is more fraudulent than anything. I want to be clear this behavior isn't shared by the other coaches as well, but solely him. I was enticed to join the program through instagram, where they advertised a 6-week transformation program. When meeting in person, I was explicitly told that the program was worth over 1,000$ (which clearly isn't true), yet i was being offered the price of 600$ for the 6 weeks I would attend. The true pricing that they offer attendees is either 39-49$ a week, which means I was charged double than the highest rate they even offer regular people. If this could be done to me, this could also be done to other people and I hope my review prevents this from happening to other people. The worst part is that he sells it to you as if your interest is truly on his mind, when his entire objective is to sell you on a dream. The only difference between the 6 week program and the regular classes is that you meet biweekly with a coach and log meals onto an app they have you download in the beginning. There is no special treatment and they even limit the amount of classes you can do within the 6 weeks. The slimiest part about him is that he had the nerve to shake my hand and smile in my face like he didn't lie to me. He doesn't even teach any of the classes there, he's simply the owner of a business trying to capitalize on those looking to better their health. The overall environment of the classes is great, the other boxers are nice people and the legitimate coaches are actually trying to see you do better. I just wish that there was more transparency on the pricing because ultimately I was scammed. I want to be clear this review has nothing to do with the progress I made during the 6 weeks, but I want to be sure anybody attempting to attend these classes knows exactly what they are getting into so that they don't end up getting scammed the way I did. I hope "coach" Stephen gets everything he deserves moving forward.

The workouts are challenging, with modifications if you need it. But, if you want to make the workout more challenging, there's an option for that as well. There are open gym times too, so you can do what you do best . No one is ever excluded, and everyone is held accountable. There's never a dull moment at D1. It's really a great place to train! This is not your ordinary gym. It's definitely a team-based facility.

When I signed up…read moreGeorge, reassured me that he would have a trainer for me in the mornings at 530 am -- which is what worked with my schedule. Instead, HE decided that if he through in the morning classes (which I was not comfortable with working out in a group setting, yet) would be fine for the mornings, and kept encouraging me to come in after a 10 hour shift. I work in healthcare and that was an exhausting time of day for me, so I could not make it work. I tried my best to come on my off days, but that really limited my consistency. He would make mysoginistic comments about my work outs and "looking tired" when I was there. I tried to confront him and he dismissed me mentioning the am classes he offered (which I never utilized other than one time and it was uncomfortable for me). When I stopped going, he refused to return my calls. He owes me ~$800 for the last month that I could not make it because I felt I was wasting money doing half ass work outs at times that were not good for me. The point -- if your a child with a specific goal and/or someone who has a flexible schedule and does not mind going to classes -- great! If you are an important-looking dude, George may get a trainer at the times he promised you. If you're a young single female -- be prepared to be treated like a joke. Let me preface this with me laying out for them EXACTLY what my flaws were and what I needed to be consistent. I told them I struggled after work and was looking for a morning session to set my day. My coaches were amazing. They texted me and encouraged me. George, was not understanding and totally did not deliver on his promises--and then kept my money.

The box itself is a tad difficult to find, stay left and go all the way back, when you see the tractor tires, you've made it. Saturday morning bootcamp was small and intimate, only 4 of us there which is always better for coaching movement from the trainers. It definitely has a family feel, everyone got along and were very welcoming and encouraging. Definitely worth a shot if you're looking for a challenging workout!

I have been to Affronti Fitness over a year now. I am very happy when I leave. Which is probably…read morepretty good. When I'm there I feel like I'm in hell! I will tell you a few things about Austyn Affronti. It was obvious to me immediately that he is a very serious young man, and he shows it by giving complete attention to those he is working with. You may assume that all physical trainer should do that, and you are right but it doesn't always work out the way it should. Austyn wants a great foundation, and what I mean by that is that he wants you to work perfectly so you will accomplish the most without potentially hurting yourself. I have now worked out as I said four times. In many businesses in the very beginning the person (The salesman) that's showing the form service is perfect but eventually some become lazy once they feel they've made the sale. So far I have noticed nothing but perfection. I hope I am right, I will let you know either way in the future. In addition I explained to Austyn I wanted to lose weight. Austyn created a menu for me. Time will tell how it works. But, if you look at the photographs you can see a major difference between people he has worked out with in the past showing before and after. More so those are real pictures, it is obvious these pictures are accurate and honest. They show pictures of before and now now. The pictures also show men and women young and older. There's a good chance hopefully before stars will become five. If another couple months it continues I definitely would go five. Yelp people we all love to eat. We also like to be healthy and look good. Try Affronti may work well for you too.
