I thought I would check this place out, and boy, was I impressed. The coaches are welcoming, super knowledgeable, and supportive. In one class, I realized I hadn't been boxing but only learning simple boxing moves for conditioning. This workout is legit. I highly recommend checking them out to learn boxing, be part of a community, and get fit. Thanks Raul, James, Amy, and team! I'll definitely be back.

The added benefit of the full gym with membership is a great bonus also. This place is definitely a gem for those looking to learn self defense or get a good workout that will leave you feeling exhausted. Whether you're a beginner or expert, there is a place for you here. I would certainly recommend. The only caveat is that you need to sign on for an entire year. But I highly recommend coming to try the free class to see if it's what you're looking for!

The little gym is real close to Downtown so it can make it really easy to pop over after work or if you're like us and live in the Northeast it's the closest place to hit. So Joe is an avid cyclist that has been in multiple Race Across America Cycling races, and has completed a few of the Bakersfield Marathon's. He has about 25 Spin Bikes arrange in the classroom so everyone can see and hear him give out the instructions during the class. The is also a video playing on a screen towards the front of the class of some of the Tour De France races. The class last an hour and if you are looking for a great cardio rush then you need to try Spin. I have on an average burned up to 900 calories per class with my heart rate on the high end of 170ish and low end of 140ish. Now I'm not in the best of shape so this might be higher than normal lol. The Spin bikes are in good condition and maintained by Joe. If you are a beginner and need some instruction he is there to help. Joe also offers a few other fitness things like Yoga, and Boot Camp. Check out his web page and give this a try you want be disappointed.

He owns a cute little studio downtown, where the sweating goes down! I haven't been to the other classes, but I can vouch for spinning. For five whole dollars you can rock out, sweat a ton, burn lots of calories, and have fun doing so. It's intense, but you get used to it. Check it out if you want to try something different and switch up or start your workout routine. For spinning, I do recommend you invest in some padded bike shorts. They make all the difference...TRUST me.

Back2Back is hand down one of the best gyms in town!

The group classes are by far my favorite! They have CrossFit, BurnBarbell, Burn40, BurnCon and a wild card on Saturday mornings! The top tier class for me is BurnCon because it consist of 4 - 6 minute station and between each station you take off for a good run. It's the cardio with weights, the amazing trainers, the community, music and lighting that really push me to do my best and make me feel unstoppable! I honestly didn't want to write this review, I was safekeeping this gem but it's truly a next- level workout experience that it's only a matter of time untill the secret is out!

I have tons of free weights in my garage that I use. So when an ad popped up and I seen this facility (which I had never heard of) I was amazed at the amount of stuff they offered and it's still growing. When I went for a tour i knew this is where I had to be to fulfill the next step in my life. Complete physical transformation. I love the area we get to work out on, I'm still learning all coaches and the times they are open are perfect. They let you be you as long as you are there to handle business! If you are in the market for change or something new or a change, this is an great place. True, I don't have nothing else to compare it to per say, but all other places haven't attracted me like this one. The staff, the memebers, the atmosphere of other gyms or sport complexes in town haven't given the vibes this place have. I'm sure there are other gyms out there that are great. I just know I found mine.

Our son joined this location a couple weeks ago and is enjoying the level of experience Joël and his staff have to offer. With a vast selection of other professionals, as well as his professional training staff, this location has a lot to offer in boxing and physical training for all sports. This location was recommended to me by a coworker, who also fought professionally and he wanted to make sure my son had the finest training by professionals, as well as being owned and operated by a local. If you are looking for personal training yourself, or for your son or daughter to get some additional training, in or out of the ring, I would highly recommend this spot. I'll add some pics of the spot, when I get permission from Joël and his staff.

I feel like with a normal gym you can't do that .Dave is a great instructor, he's diffidently know how to teach the right techniques. The atmosphere there is amazing and it feels like home to me.

My experience was the complete opposite. Coach Burgos is very patient and created a positive learning environment.

Despite learning and having an appreciation for the sport; I learned to be able to push myself mentally despite the physical exhaustion. If you are looking for a smooth transition into a MMA Gym that makes you feel right at home this gym is for you.
