I joined this gym as a total beginner. The introduction class is thorough, and classes are easy to learn the hang of technique. The instructors are fun and supportive, class is a safe space for beginners to noodle around and learn the ropes at their own pace, and classes are also designed to meet the needs of boxers of all experience levels. The members and instructors are friendly and it's a very welcoming environment. I highly recommend giving it a try!
This gym is awesome! I have been a member since 2018. The coaches are fantastic, always great music and atmosphere and they push you to do your best. I have never belonged to a gym of women of more shapes, sizes, and ages. That is what I love about it! It is so encouraging
I moved to Illinois last winter and joined the boxing gym in order to finally cross it off my bucket list. The coaches are great, Jess knows everyone's name (even after a 5 month hiatus, she remembered who I was) and she is a great communicator and encourager. The class is tough but fun- a great cardio experience and learning the basics of boxing.
Just moved to Illinois a few weeks ago and thought i would give this place a try during my quest to find a new striking gym. Overall this place is great for beginner women looking to get into shape without the masculine environment surronding other gyms. I'm only guessing that is why it is women only?? The owner is super nice and knowledgeable and takes time explaining the moves. Some reasons as to why I didn't give them more stars would be the overall bang for the money and lack of training equipment. Nearly $90 a month for 2 people, some times 3, to a bag is a little much in my opinion. I'm not a big fan of long breaks in between combos. Maybe the new space will be bigger, but for now, i can't justify the spend.
I joined this boxing gym in 2016. You need to take an intro class before you can become a member (times are listed on the website). It's not open all the time outside of class times, but once you're a member there are sometimes "open gym" days. A fun and empowering experience! I highly recommend it if you're a woman in CU.
