Steven is a very professional, knowledgeable, and affordable. He’s encouraging and motivational with adult and children alike. We’ll return indefinitely!
I have been training with Steve and Lyons Den boxing for the past seven years or so. I can’t begin to explain how much this has impacted my life in a positive way. Steve is extremely encouraging and tailors workouts appropriately to his clients ability. This gym has a very positive, And uplifting atmosphere. I highly recommend Lions den boxing and fitness to anyone that wants to challenge themselves to be better in many aspects of their life not just fitness.
I’ve been going to this boxing gym for about a year and a half and love it! When I first walked in at 47 years old I had never boxed and had very little knowledge of boxing. I felt like a fish out of water but it didn’t take long to realize this is where I wanted to be. All skill levels are welcome here. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, train to step in the ring or want something in-between you can get it all here. Coach Steve will start you with the basics and take you as far as you want to go. No egos, just good people of all ages looking to improve themselves. This gym has circuit drills, weights, bag work, mitt work and sparring. Come support this small family business and join a friendly community that will support you in reaching your goals.
Took on the challenge and wasn't sure what I got myself into. Now that I have been working out under direction Coach Steve I find myself very pleased with my results. I like the variety of the workout exercises while learning how to box. This keeps me interested and looking forward to my workouts. Sometimes it does get crowded but it always seem to work out just fine. Sometimes it can be challenging to remember all the moves but eventually I will have it down, I have a powerful punch for a 65 yr old lady..now I just need to float like butterfly and sting like a bee. Lol! When I meet me goal I'm throwing them the 5 star!! Thanks Lions Den! I support you!!
Do not do the 16 week challenge there. It’s a money grab scheme. They contract through FitSmart(company out of Florida). It’s a boot camp calisthenics class at best with 18+ class sizes in a confined space running around outside their building on the concrete sidewalk. Pretty much zero boxing instruction. 18 people in a class with 18 people coming in for the next class it’s elbow to elbow. It’s a very small space. It you want out of the FitSmart contract they will charge you almost $300 to get out of the contract after you pay for the full 16 weeks. Be very weary of this sketchy place. Go to Crunch Fitness they have great classes including boxing. They limit class sizes accordingly. It’s great. I would have given Lions Den zero stars but it wouldn’t let me.
Jason, you are correct that the challenge is contracted through a third party company. However, you left out some important information that we would like to add. Prior to signing up for the challenge, a representative from the FitSmart company does a 30 minute seminar going point by point through the contract. They iterate that since the challenge is geared towards beginners, it is low impact cardio. It also stated multiple times that it is a separate company in the contract they review. They also state multiple time, have three separate bullet points reiterating, and have the group verbalize back that if you do not attend an average of 3x a week for 16 weeks, you are responsible for the length of the contract. The challenge started February 26th and since that time you came 4 times. During that time we explained to the classes that we would be doing fit testing to see everyone's physical activity level prior to jumping into boxing so we could personalize each class to those in it. In the beginning, you are correct. The 5:30 pm and 6:00 pm were very busy with 15-20 people. However, we also repeatedly said that if you waited about 2 weeks, it was thin out and even out. We are now approaching our 8th week of the challenge. Our class sizes average between 8-10 people. Our Challengers have learned the foundation of boxing, punches, punch combinations, and defense. Our clients have had their weigh in and 99% of them have lost an average 5% of their body weight in this time. They are making massive progression in their confidence, cardio stamina, and physical abilities. You called and were very combative with the Co-Owner who offered various options to help you and also explained the classes had returned to their small sizes and everyone was advancing in boxing. Yet, you never returned and tried to encourage other happy clients to quit. Our owner then tried to reach out personally and you refused to return his phone call. If you prefer crunch, that is great and we are glad you found a better fit. But please, do not come on here and try to tear down a small family owned business. We did not get into the fitness industry to be a mega gym. We pride ourselves in being a small gym that truly cares about each and every one of our clients. We form relationship with each person at the gym. We value and care about their goals and progress. We celebrate their successes and wins and are step by step with them during their struggles. Additionally, what we do works and our clients can attest to that.
