We didn't know how they would feel about it, but class has become a "can't miss" situation in our household. Professor Julio is the best - he is so patient and dedicated with all ages. He engages with all of the students and helps them understand the how and why. We joked that he should post YouTube videos - he's that detailed and likeable! He does not shame students, and encourages the beginners in an encouraging way. What we love most is that he has created a safe space - the students help each other, and work together to develop their technique. Can't say enough great things about Professor Julio and the classes. He has created a safe space for people to come together and learn (and sweat).

I only have positive things to say about my time training here as the gym has a strong community that promotes self improvement and helps you gain confidence in yourself. Arthur and Sandra are extremely knowledgeable instructors who fully dedicate themselves to their students and to providing a fun/safe training environment. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to either start their jiu-jitsu journey, get back into it, or just overall curious on what the sport can offer.

Class is an hour and a half.. longer than any other class I've tried with ClassPass. Cedric is great; very nice, motivating, and helpful. The class was awesome, and was good for all levels. I wasn't too sure what to expect, but it was like bootcamp with boxing. I think this is the best workout I've tried yet. The way Cedric changes up the routine throughout the class keeps you motivated to keep going, between fundamental boxing moves with weights in hand, to cardio, drills, kettle bells, jump rope, punching a bag, etc. etc. I recommend bringing a pair of your own gloves right away rather than borrowing a communal pair. You can find them on Amazon for around $20. The boxing gym in Tropical Park has a water fountain which is nice in case you forget your own drink, and they sell Powerade there also.

I was unsure about Hooked Fitness because I never really thought I'd try boxing but my sister asked…read moreme to go with her, so I gave it a chance. I signed up through ClassPass and purchased my gloves on Amazon Prime the day prior to class. I got lost in Tropical Park trying to find the place but then I realized I'd driven right by the sign for it. Granted, the sign is small, so you really need to keep a look out. The class takes place inside a building that is located in Tropical Park - about half way between Miller and Bird. The building is behind a large parking lot along the main thoroughfare in Tropical Park. Cedric is really nice and was willing to explain things more than once if it became necessary to understand what he wanted us to do. He gave us different sets of exercises in a boot camp fashion. He then showed us boxing moves and had us practice them using hand weights, so that we continued to get a workout while we learned the moves. We put on our gloves and moved to the punching bags for a few minutes - just long enough to get out any frustrations you have. Cedric stayed nearby to correct movements in an effort to teach us proper boxing technique. Overall, I thought it was a great workout targeting all the different areas of the body and a great intro course for boxing.
