    So I'm sitting here beside a bag of Nestle chocolate chips, watching the umpteenth episode of…read moreSYTYCD, probably slowing undoing everything I've accomplished here in the last year... Sorry, Coach! Since my last review B2B has actually moved locations. The downside, for me, is that it's a further commute which often winds up translating into me being late for class. But there are far more upsides. The new space, while similar in size, is much cheerier, with bright white walls and sunlight filtering in. It also has AC, which not only makes a more comfortable gym environment, also allows for class to keep schedule even in these hellacious 110-degree months. Harold has added a lot of additional equipment over time, including double-end bags, speed-bags that size down as small as a grapefruit, and some bane-of-my-existance ab wheels. And I still love coming here. From mitt-work to footwork, weight lifting to interval training, heavy-bag speed drills to track, it seems like we've done it all. But as soon as I start thinking that, Harold introduces something new and challenging and interesting. And it's effective. I've dropped weight, gained muscle, and really seen myself grow. In a recent push-up challenge to failure, I completed 81! Eighty-one push-ups, ya'll. From not being able to do a single chin-up, I can now knock out 3. Harold's been a big component of helping me reach my potential, but also to keep looking beyond that and strive for more. If you're looking for a truly unique workout in an intimate environment where you're sure to benefit from a personal approach to workouts, from an instructor who meets you where you are fitness-wise, do yourself a favor and check out a class here. A few quirks: no music & no mirrors (so no distractions; though sometimes I wonder about my form without being able to see it). Also no water cooler, so remember to pack a big bottle because you WILL sweat.

    My wife and I joined this gym after moving to the downtown Durham area. We use to train with the…read moreowner (Harold) at LA Boxing in South Durham and when he opened this gym we followed him here. We checked out several of the downtown/central Durham gyms and none of them were quite what we were looking for. CrossFit was probably the closest but it's much more expensive. When we stopped in at Danny Daniels Fitness Studio we found the owner to be disinterested. The YMCA seemed very crowded. There were other gyms further away and many of those seem to change owners every year. What I like about this boxing gym is that you get to learn technique and you also get a great workout. Nearly every muscle in your body gets exercised. The warmup and cool-down routines usually incorporate exercises such as squats, push-ups, pull-ups, jump rope, etc. The main boxing routine usually includes different combos on a heavy bag. Some of the drills are more focused on speed and others strength. Since this gym is new, classes are generally small -- which I really appreciate. Right now we do just boxing but Harold plans to begin offering kickboxing routines as well. As for the facilities, they have 6 heavy bags and various equipment such as pull-up bar, jump rope, and dumb bells. There is no A/C but this has not been bothering me (think of it as Bikram boxing). I've been working out in the evenings when the outside temperature has reached the 90s. The fans do a nice job of keeping the air circulating.

    New boxing studio in the Chapel Hill area across from Tobacco Road…read more If you haven't tried out title boxing before it is fantastic! Especially if you (like me) had never tried boxing before. They are essentially high interval training with 3 minute rounds of boxing with a minute of either rest or low intensity between. Also a focus on core so and some strength so it isn't just cardio. The studio is very high energy with a lot of hip hop music and motivating coaches. Excellent for getting out any pent up aggression--(plus you feel like a b*d*ss after!) I love group exercise in general and they have good variety so while there is a lot of repetition, you don't notice it. They have a lot of classes throughout the day so fits almost any schedule. First class free! It is a lot smaller than the Cary gym tho so don't be expecting the same if you've been there!

    This review is accurate for 2018 and one month in 2021. The workout itself is great! Fantastic…read morecardio and endurance workout. I first joined in July 2018 3 months after having knee surgery. When I was able to make classes led by Andrew I didn't have any issues. I informed any trainer ahead of time that I'm not sandbagging I'm pacing myself because while I was cleared to exercise, sprinting and jumping were not recommended. What do you think happened? If you guessed, the trainer kept coming over to "motivate" me, congrats! I finally had to explicitly say leave me alone in those exact words. The other issue is that there were never any morning classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I was never given a clear reason other than the lack of demand which wasn't true. The most egregious was the condition of the bags. You're supposed to take them down weekly and roll them to prevent the filling from settling on the bottom. When that happens the bottom is extremely hard like hitting a column and the top is just air. The bag won't move like it's supposed to and you'll hurt your hands. I don't know how that kind of oversight happens, especially with it being a franchise.
