Great gym, boxing classes for kids and adults, amazing specialized boxing programs for Parkinson’s patients through Punching Out Parkinsons and youth through Therapy Boxing 🥊 World Champ atmosphere with all the memorabilia and presence of the champ Paulie day in and day out!
10 out of 10, would DEF recommend! My son attends classes here and I love it for him! They get so much done in the hour alloted. They rotate activities to where everyone child gets to gets to do everything. Unlike the taikwondo classes I had hin signed up for previously, where he pretty much sat on the sidelines half of class, and I was paying double what I pay here. The affordability is a bang for your buck. 12 classes, which means 3 times a week for a great price. And Paulie Ayala is actually present and active during the sessions. Not just a bunch of trainers operating under his name. Im so happy I found this place!
Great gym and knowledgeable coach that is there everyday helping people learn and reach their goals!
Called this place today because I had been interested in joining and had a few questions. My call was answered by an extremely rude person named Leti/letty/Leticia (idk) and completely changed my mind about getting a membership. I kindly gave her my name and asked how she was doing and all I received was a “good.” Then when I asked her name I got a “who are you calling for?????” in an abrasive tone. Upon telling her that I had some questions, as I was considering joining the gym, she SOMEWHAT lightened up (go figure). Pretty terrible first impression, which sucks because Paulie is a Fort Worth/boxing legend and deserves to have people that represent him better. I admit, I haven’t visited the gym before this, and I definitely will not be visiting it now.
I was lucky enough to get a class in during my short visit to fort worth. I had so many options, but I am glad I decided to go here. The work out was great, good reps and cardio. I was fortunate enough to hit mitts with the legend and Champ, Paulie Ayala. Good people, doing good things. I appreciate what this gym is doing not only for the boxing community, but also for the parkinsons community. I can't wait to visit this gym again. I highly recommend this place.
