Great energy. I feel motivated to train harder and longer while there. Very welcoming to strangers.
Checked the place out but got called into work so I left without asking the pricing. Pricing is Not on their website. 3 days later when I called for the pricing, I was told I had to come down there and "find out". I said I was there a 3 days ago and he said "well I don't know that. Come down here. " Any business that won't post the prices on their website AND won't tell you their pricing over the phone is Too Sketchy. I'll take my dollars ELSEWHERE.
Awsome place my son loves it here!

As a mentor with Denver Public Schools, we had a wonderful time learning and seeing the ins and outs of the boxing ring. We got a real feel for the way it goes down. A compressed but on-point workout as well. This was my second time visiting the spot. We came here last year and this is my third year as a mentor with DPS. The owner is very thoughtful and compassionate.
