I started with the Dragon Gym as a 6 year old child in 1986. Being ambidextrous, I struggled with…read morecoordination, not having a dominant side. At the time, the Karate Kid was popular and my parents had a coupon to the Dragon Gym, They figured, at the least, two weeks free training and a uniform would be a neat experience. For the next 14 years, the Dragon Gym transformed me into a disciplined, healthy, and focused individual, and helped lay the foundation for spiritual growth and introspection. It's so much more than an activity. It's a way of life. The current head master, Somnath Sikdar, and his partner, Master Lonnie Beck, came up with me through the ranks. After a 20 year absence from the area, I've returned to find that the current iteration of the gym has maintained what makes the Dragon Gym special, while adding different arts and programs and putting great effort into tailoring progression to fit a child's intellectual,physical, and psychological development. To sum it up, there's nothing like the integration of body, mind, and spirit coupled with the ability to focus and overcome challenges in your life. I cannot think of a better extracurricular practice for a child to grow into and be prepared for adulthood than becoming part of the Dragon Gym family.

When I first started boxing I went to your typical chain boxing gyms. But then a year ago I…read morefollowed Drew to a new gym that was not a boxing centered gym but he taught boxing classes there. Only just to be a stepping stone while he was putting together his amazing family owned gym! When he finally opened the doors to Society Boxing and Fitness on December 1,2018 there was nothing but family coming together to make sure it was all ready to go for opening day! From the start this gym has been one big family! Going into a gym you always worry about people judging you or just not being very friendly! Especially in a small gym like this there is none of that. Each and every member is welcomed by Drew and Heather with open arms and are treated like family! I call this gym a second family from all the friendships that I have made over the last year! When I started training with Drew I had so many fears with boxing since I only ever had one good trainer who started teaching me and then had one who had no clue what they were doing. But within a few one on one sessions Drew really made those fears disappear and made me feel so much more confident. Coming from playing D1 sports I have always had the competitive edge to me and I love that Drew brings that out in me some days and really pushes me to overcome my hesitations. I could not be happier with my decision to start working out with Drew and to be a part of the awesome group of people in the gym! When people ask what I've been doing, my reply is "Whatever Drew says!" I trust his methods, knowledge and advice completely and will continue to work with him as long as he'll have me as a client! If you are looking an amazing gym that is a family you should come try out Society Boxing and Fitness! You will not feel like the new person at all because we welcome everyone and make them feel at home from the time they walk through the doors!

There was a time when it was closed due to some roof repairs, so I went to the West Chester Y (also great and 10 lap lanes!!) But at the Lionville Y the staff is very friendly, It is 2 miles from me and now I also play Mahjongg with a very nice group of women. There is a very busy pickleball court and I may try that at some point. The weight room is huge, with lots of machines and helpful trainers. There are art classes and a knitting group. Day care and lots of youth activities. It's free for some seniors, (including me) depending on your insurance. I can't imagine why anyone would pay big bucks to go to another gym.
