I need to start by saying that since remote learning started in 2020 my teenage son has been a…read morecouch potato. The only thing that ignites a fire in him are trips to the fridge. That was until we paid a visit to TMX. As a parent I was impressed with the cleanliness and the Covid Safety measures in place. As well as the professionalism displayed by the staff. My biggest accolades for this gym is the fact that after only being there for about 10 minutes the staff made my son feel so comfortable and excited that a fire within was ignited and he actually stayed for a class. So far my son has only been to one class however we have signed him up for a membership. His words at the end of the class were "who knew exercise could be so much fun"!

My online inquiry was responded to quickly by Liz and she connected me to Chris, one of the trainers. I set up a series of private sessions and found Chris to have great technical skills and an easy to follow teaching philosophy. I learned a lot during my sessions and plan to return when I am in the area. This business has a friendly environment and is well run. I highly recommend TMX for both beginners and those with more experience. Thank you Sara and Chris for making me feel so welcome, improving my skills, and for great workouts!

I lost inches in areas where I struggled with my whole life. Ally's workouts are hands down the best workouts I have ever done. The classes are small which I love because you get that more personal attention. She gets creative with the routines. It is a mix of boxing, cardio kick-boxing, HIIT, tabata, and weight lifting. I am vigilant with my attendance which clearly makes all the difference. I highly recommend taking a class - you will get addicted quick!

I've been coming to John Dullea's for a few years now…read more For $10 per session this workout can't be beat. The one hour class starts off with light stretching and escalates into a cardio warmup. Once you get warmed up, he has you go through multiple rounds of different punches on the heavy bags, with some plyometrics mixed in. After you finish on the bags, you will partner up and work with pads. Then, after you have thrown your last punch, the class finishes with 15 minutes of "ab torture". From beginning to end you never stop moving (at your own pace), and regardless of how hard you push yourself, you will sweat like a suckling pig. John is a legendary trainer and he is as friendly and personable as he is knowledgable. His classes consist of people of all ages and body types. If you are a beginner, he will make sure to keep you up to speed with demonstrations. Great guy. Great workout. I wouldn't go to any other boxing gym.

I've been going to Box Around for about a month now and my only regret is that I didn't start…read moresooner. I had some preconceived notions of what a boxing gym would be and I couldn't have been more wrong. All of the people training at Box Around are great people. Bud Lakin, is a great trainer and an even better person. I came in totally green and after a month I can move around in the ring pretty decently and hit the bag the proper way. The boxing training is great for someone like me that doesn't like to just run. I get a great cardio workout every time I go and I've already lost about 6 pounds of flab. I really can't stress enough how good the atmosphere of this gym is. There's no swearing and yelling, just a bunch of people training that are very supportive of each other. My kids are a little young to bring in the gym, but once they're a little older I will bring both as soon as I can. The price is more than reasonable especially considering the attention you get from Bud. If you have always been curious about picking up boxing even if it's only for fitness and confidence, Box Around is an awesome place to go. A quick side note, I called about 3 to 4 gyms trying to get some info up front and Bud was the only person to call me back. I'm very happy that he did, I wouldn't want to train anywhere else. Here is the link to their site, the posted one doesn't work at the moment. http://boxaroundboxingclub.com

I will preface this review with why we decided on boxing for a 5 year old - My 5 year old son who…read moreis very small for his age was being picked on by some older children, and once I saw this with my own eyes I decided it was time to teach him how to stand up for himself and give him some confidence that would allow him to grow into the person he is meant to be. (not beaten out of him by bullies) My son after 5 weeks- He knows the proper stance, how to properly throw a punch, hit the heavy bag, balance shadow boxing on a tire, and even hit the gloves in the ring. Bud Lakin is firm but kind, quickly gaining my sons respect. He has given my son a new level of confidence. My son is able to handle the corrections Bud makes to his stance or rhythm because he knows Bud is helping him and knows it comes from a good place. The lessons are reasonably priced and really the best money my husband & I have ever spent (we both agree). We are doing twice a week on Tuesday and Thursdays and each time the lesson is over my son is amazed how fast the hour and a half went and eager to stay longer. The gym has other children around 10-14yrs old in at the same time, and they are kind and encouraging to my son and polite and respectful to myself. There are also usual a couple of other men and women training who are also friendly and make us feel welcome. Last week Bud had my son work in the ring with a grown man...the man was on his knees so he was eye level with my son and allowed my son to practice his boxing skills on him, bobbing and weaving to make it a real challenge for my son teaching him how to move like a boxer . It was a real highlight for my son. Also, with the children, there is NO contact, meaning my son does not ever get hit. These lessons really build his confidence and keep him safe. My husband plans on taking lessons once he gets a few days off from work. Bud is teaching my son lessons that will stick with him forever. These are life skills in this tough society we now live in. I highly recommend this gym for anyone interested in learning the art of boxing, I enjoy watching Bud Lakin work with my son and the others training. It is like watching a master teacher. You can see he does it for the love of boxing, not the money.
