I recently attended a queer/lesbian sparring event at Cappy's, and it was the perfect introduction to the gym. The space is completely unpretentious and has a great, "scrappy" energy that makes you feel welcome the second you walk in. Coach Alex is incredibly knowledgeable--I spent half the time just watching her movement, which is so fluid and smooth. It's rare to find a spot that balances great technique with such an inclusive, easygoing environment. It was so easy to make new friends, and I'll definitely be back for more beginner sparring sessions with other queer women. Thanks for holding events like this! Pro Tip: Bring a mouthguard and 16oz gloves for sparring (and headgear if you have it!). read more

My experience at Cappy's was humiliating. Alex, the owner, had an issue with another boxer because she believed he was homophobic. Because I trained with him, she apparently told people at the gym that I was also homophobic and disrespectful. When I arrived, people were giving me dirty looks. Alex confronted me and accused me of talking badly about Cappy's on Facebook. When I asked for proof, her screenshots only showed the other boxer tagging me in posts. She then admitted that I had not said anything. Instead of apologizing and correcting the misinformation, she allowed everyone to continue treating me with hostility. I even felt pressured to disclose that I have a transgender girlfriend just to prove I was not homophobic. I should never have needed to reveal personal information to defend myself against something I did not do. I came to train, not to be publicly judged and humiliated based on someone else's opinions. In my experience, this was handled unprofessionally and without accountability. read more

Alex, the owner of Cappy's, had an issue with one of the boxers because she believed he was homophobic. I signed up for sparring, and that boxer trains with me. I simply train with everyone--I do not involve myself in other people's personal opinions. When I walked into the gym, I immediately noticed everyone giving me dirty looks. Apparently, Alex had already given a presentation to everybody portraying me as homophobic and disrespectful toward the gym. Think about how disturbing that is: the owner of a boxing gym publicly turned an entire room against me before even asking me what happened or checking whether the accusation was true. I smiled and shook her hand because I was excited to be there. She responded with hostile energy, stepping up to me as if she wanted to pull up on me. I was shocked and confused. She accused me of talking shit about Cappy's Gym on Facebook, so I asked her to show me exactly what I had done. She pulled up screenshots--and all they showed was the other boxer tagging me in pictures from Cappy's posts. She then admitted that I had not actually said anything. That should have ended with an immediate apology. She should have told everyone in the gym that she was wrong for portraying me that way. Instead, she allowed the poison, hostility, and hatred she had created among the gymgoers toward me to continue flowing. I was left standing in a gym full of people who had already been encouraged to judge me for something I never said or did. The most humiliating part was that I felt forced to disclose that I have a transgender girlfriend before she would "accept me." Basically, at Cappy's, you apparently have to prove that you are not homophobic--even when you did absolutely nothing--simply because the owner decided that you were. I did not deserve any of that. In my experience, Alex was egotistical, hostile, and completely unwilling to take accountability after admitting that the accusation against me was unsupported. Owning a gym does not give someone the right to damage a person's reputation, turn an entire group against them, confront them aggressively, and then refuse to correct the situation after discovering the truth. She appears to have bought the gym with her parents' money after only two years of boxing experience. Money may buy a gym, but it does not automatically buy maturity, leadership, experience, or accountability. What happened to me was not professional conflict resolution. It felt like public humiliation, social poisoning, and an abuse of authority by the person responsible for making the gym safe and welcoming. read more

Was in Seattle for a few days and wanted to check this gym out. I had a good experience with the group work out! Instructor was well detailed, the gym is clean and spacious. Great work out, good experience overall! Would recommend! read more

I love Cappys! It is an extremely supportive and inclusive environment including for a big range of fitness levels. It's both an awesome workout and a lot of fun, and helped me rediscover a love for endorphins. The coaches are all fantastic! read more

Literally the nicest staff, best classes and great people that go there. 10/10, and also is queer friendly

Most amazing, dynamic, diverse, and fun fitness class I've ever taken!!! And I've taken a lot - from spin class to yoga, to personal trainers to rock climbing guides. Everyday is unique, focusing on different muscles and techniques, while maintaing a common core set of exercises and activities in each class, so you can build upon previous sessions and track your progress. Plus, it's held in a completely relaxed, humble, inviting, and non-intimidating environment. The coaches and leaders are very knowledgeable and more than willing, and motivated, to help people out on an individual basis (this especially applies to me - someone who routinely needs some extra explaining). I'm also an avid rock climber, and there are a lot of similarities between boxing and rock climbing: balance, coordination, footwork, dynamic movements, etc. Ever since joing Cappy's, my rock climbing game has completely changed for the better! Not to mention, my wife loves my new 'boxer body!" 100% HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

Cappy's Boxing Gym - Gyms Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Very dedicated coaches. They will start from where you are and slowly help you progress. No McDojo nonsense, just pure and classical boxing at its best. During CoVid, for several months,they had even allowed people who can not pay, to enroll and train; and for those who can pay, a pay what you can scheme. That cannot go on forever; but it shows their dedication to the art of boxing. Certainly recommend for all kinds of people, those who want to loose weight and be fit, those who want to train to fight, and those who want to release stress. If you are any one of these, do give this place a try. read more

Trans/Enby Logistics Update: I got a great question via message about locker rooms (that I didn't see for approximately one year - sorry friend!) so wanted to add this info for inquiring minds, especially since Cappy's has landed in a new permanent location: 1. There are two large single-stall restrooms that have LOTS of room for changing. There are no showers. Lockers for day use or longer-term rental are outside the restrooms. 2. Pronouns - My recommendation would be to let coaches know your pronouns up front. Different coaches practice a mix of not gendering anyone (just using names, because name-remembering magic), asking if needed, or assuming gender and pronouns. I have had positive and non-defensive reactions the times that I have corrected someone who calls me 'she'. This is in alignment with the general positive/warm vibe at Cappy's. read more

When my boyfriend and I moved to Seattle last year, I was honestly pretty bummed about losing my old boxing gym that I was pretty attached to. I spent some time "shopping" around boxing gyms in the area and didn't think I'd find anything that lived up to my old one until I attended Cappy's. Surprisingly, I like it even better here than my old gym . . . by like, a lot lol. The coaches are all super nice and all have a slightly different coaching style which makes it easy to attend multiple classes a week without getting sick of it. I've had Mike, Luke, Kamaria, and Kimi as teachers and they are all so sweet, fun, and knowledgeable about the sport, I'd genuinely recommend any of their classes to friends. The gym keeps things fun but is also serious about helping you level up your skills. The students here are really friendly as well, it's easy to make friends and have familiar faces to say hi to when you come in. Literally the second class I went to, I met someone to go hiking with lol. The coaches are somehow really good at remembering who you are and will greet you by name when you walk in for class, even if you've only been a couple times. Although I still have a lot to learn, I feel like my boxing has gotten so much better since coming here. Every time I have a friend visiting, I take them to Cappy's and without fail, they leave the class saying that they had a ton of fun and want to box more. The best! read more

After moving to Seattle, I'd been searching for a new go-to workout and I found it at Cappy's Boxing Gym! I love how simple and unpretentious everything is here: the sign-in sheet is literally a piece of paper, although yes, they are on ClassPass and they accept credit cards. The studio has a very scrappy feel to it and is just a big, open space with very few equipments around the perimeter. It's located in a semi-sketchy part of town. I don't feel unsafe, but I also wouldn't be roaming around here after dark. I was really intimidated the first time I went to the boxing fitness class and my hands were shaking for a good half hour after because my arms were so tired. First takeaway: the class is intense and punching things is not as intuitive as it sounds. I went again because Mike, the coach for my first class, was awesome and because this is probably the most I've enjoyed cardio. I hate cardio and I've long made peace with the fact that the only running I'll ever do is running away from my problems (which unfortunately doesn't burn calories). The boxing fitness classes at Cappy's are intense, super high energy, and they leave me breathless every single time without doing a single sprint, jog, or run. I LOVE IT. I wish they had a beginners workshop to get newbies up to speed but it doesn't look like it. After years of always being the last person in the room to grasp a new dance move, concept or technique of any sort, I knew I would feel more confident going into the regular boxing fitness classes after taking a couple of private coaching sessions to learn the fundamentals. I was lucky to get Ann as a coach, she's fantastic. She's tough, encouraging, and patient. She always has something genuinely positive to say and is just intimidating enough that I dare not slack off. The afternoon (5:30 and 6:30pm) classes are the busiest, so I try to go during lunch so I can embarrass myself in a smaller group. The people in the class are very friendly. Whenever they found out that I was new (which is usually within the first 5 minutes), they were eager to give me helpful pointers. The coaches also do a very good job of coordinating the movement around the class and making sure that I wasn't completely lost. The only downside is that even though it's a great full body workout, I think it works your legs the least. I used to go to a gym that would emphasize arms, abs, and legs on different days, so I kind of miss working out my legs a bit more. P.S. Bring your own water or bring cash to buy bottled water from the gym downstairs. P.P.S. They currently have a Groupon! read more

LOVE this gym! Started coming to "boxing fitness" classes once a week during the summer. NOT to be confused with "kickboxing". This one hour class consists of cardio (jump rope), strength and toning exercises, and you get to put on gloves and punch the bags. The instructors are great, they provide motivation and helpful feedback. The music is also very energizing. After going to a boxing fitness class, I am "done"; An awesome workout plus I get to take any frustrations out on the punching bag. Recommend any one looking to get in shape try a class (first one is only $5). It's fun and an hour goes by so quickly, although there are times when I am dying and watching that clock! Happy with the results that I've seen so far. They also offer boxing lessons - for youth and adults. read more

Cappy's Boxing Gym - Gyms Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is really awesome. They have great people, coaches, and equipment. They will prepare you for anything, whether if it's to lose weight or get better at boxing. They have it all for a really great reasonable monthly price. They are so welcoming! If you try it out, you won't regret it. read more

I went to Cappy's to take one of their boxing lessons. Watching all that Ultimate Fighting Challenge really got the best of me. Fortunately, Cappy's let's you try out their gym for a nominal fee. The first boxing lesson is $10 and the first boxing circuit training session is $5, so you can choose what type of workout you want. However, both are very similar, it's just that the boxing lesson is half an hour longer and they actually give you boxing tips after all the circuit training work during that last half hour. What I liked most about Cappy's was their flexible pricing plan. I'm not willing to give up my regular weightlifting workout at my local gym, so it was awesome to know that I could still get a boxing lesson plan where I can just come on Saturdays and practice what I learned on my own on my off-boxing days. Also, Cappy's is not one of those "hardcore" Rocky Balboa gyms where you walk-in and all the guys stare at you wondering what the heck you're doing there. It's a pretty friendly environment and Cappy is a really friendly guy. His other trainer is equally, if not more, friendly, so overall your first experience will most likely be great. However, it's "hardcore" enough where you'll meet seasoned boxers who have been in the ring for matches. Overall, if you're looking to learn to box and also have a great cardio workout at a great pricing plan, you should check out Cappy's. read more

My favorite gym and favorite coaches. I love everything about this gym. Very clean, great vibe, and most importantly great coaches and great workout with awesome music in the background. 5 stars all around!! read more

Went here years ago at it's old location and I have to say it was so well-run, everyone there was super positive and the trainers/Cappy made themselves really available to the members' needs. Also a super good workout! Thank you Cappy!! (I was the guy that lived nearby that you paid to do those icon drawings :) ) read more

A little about me: I don't workout regularly and wanted an activity that wouldn't bore me. So I took advantage of Cappy's $5/first class option. The hour flew by, and the trainer was always nearby to modify and answer any questions. Wrap rentals are a bargain at $2 I bought them after my third session for $15 Each class is under $25 so even if you're a last-minute committer like me, you can still try and drop in if the class isn't full. I had heard about how diverse the rest of the class attendees are, but didn't anticipate how comfortable I would feel after the initial warm-up. Everything is at your place which makes the experience even better. Can't wait to come back! read more

Went to Cappy's for the first time. It was just okay. For some reason I just didn't get a community vibe from Cappy's. It didn't feel very welcoming to new folks. At the end of the class none of the teachers checked in with me about my experience. It was really strange. I tried another boxing gym in my neighborhood and the minute I walked in I was greeted by all of my classmates and at the end everyone high fived me or fist bumped me to say "good job." It reminded me of my old gym when my teacher would end class by asking "how do you feel?" and everyone would say "like a champ!" I will definitely be going with my neighborhood gym! read more

This is a great gym with friendly coaches and members. I started coming with almost no workout experience (I avoided gym class for much of school) and no boxing knowledge and have found it an informative, engaging, and supportive. Highly recommend! read more

I've been going here for a couple of years and when I first started I got sooooo sore because the workout is pretty tough. But after a while you get used to it, (or more in shape) and it feels really great! Great skills training combined with workout in the boxing fitness class, also awesome for mental fortitude! read more

It's insane how awesome this gym is. The workouts will absolutely kick your ass. But the good news is that if you want to learn to box, you can opt to kick your own ass or have someone do it for you. What I mean by that is that you can take workout style classes, or actually boxing lessons where you learn to spar and partner with other students and teachers. I wanted to do the former because I'm afraid of getting punched. So it was a huge relief to learn that this gym offers classes for a variety of ages, a variety of skill levels, and a variety of techniques. I just want to punch the air, not people. And I could do that here! I came to participate in a class and was so impressed. I'm left handed and it's only ever an issue when it comes to sports and physical activities. Normally I find myself in a situation where no one even asks if people are left handed. So I learned how to golf, play hockey, and swing a bat right handed. Not because I wanted to, but because I didn't know any better as a kid. Sitting through this class I saw a left handed and right handed demo. My smile was so wide that even my cheeks got a workout. It was so thoughtful to think of different ways that people play sports and it's truly so rare that I find that. During the class I spotted other employees wiping down and sanitizing equipment, which was another huge bonus. And the location (CD) is convenient because there's plenty of free street parking in the area. Stop reading already and come try Cappy's out! read more

I went to Cappy's today and I realized that I really loved this workout. The scary thins is I loved punching the bags. I was very skeptical when I went and almost chickened out at the last minute. I never like to do things I am not good at in front of other people but when I walked in I was met by friendly people who made me feel welcome immediately. The first part starts with jumping rope, I was seriously afraid I was going to hit someone with my rope but everyone jumps at their own pace. It is going to take a while to get the toe bounce jumping down. Then the boxing and what I realized is I love punching things and I wanted to hit the bags really hard. You do circuit type training from one bag to the next with cardio in between. This is the most fun I have had in a workout class ever. I was pumped and having a blast. Now don't get me wrong this workout kicks your ass, but the instructors allow you to go at your own pace and are extremely helpful and seem to really care to make certain you are keeping your form etc. The music is great and really gets you motivated. I am going to sign up for more classes, the first one is only $5 so you can see if you like it than $23 a session or you can do month unlimited. This is nothing like a kickboxing class. You rotate from station to station and get an amazing workout and have a lot of fun doing it! read more

I love Cappy's. I'm the least athletic person ever and the least coordinated, but I can still follow these workouts and not feel like a moron. I'd never done any sort of boxing before coming to Cappy's, but it turns out I really enjoy it. I don't do their actual boxing lessons, just the fitness class, and it's quite a workout! I expected to feel intimidated, but so far, I really haven't. They're reasonably priced, as well; your first class is $5 and then for a five-class pack, it's $90, which is a pretty good discount compared to paying for each class individually. The instructors I've had have been helpful and not judgmental at all. Although there are often more men than women present, I've never felt out of place or awkward being female. The only drawbacks: it's circuit work (which is fine because I love being able to switch it up every few minutes!) based on partner activities. I don't think I'd want to come alone and be paired up with a stranger, but that's just because I'm sort of awkward. Oh, and Nickelsville is directly across the street, which is a bit odd. read more

Cappy's is the place to get an amazing workout. They welcome people of all sizes, shapes and abilities. And you will get WORKED! I love the boxing fitness classes, I found I was able to push myself much harder during them than during any other workout I've ever done. I was often doing a modified version of what others were doing, that stuff is hard! Imagine one partner lying in the plan position while the other hopped back and forth over them. Go for 1 minute. Then switch. Repeat. When I first inquired about the space, they didn't have a ramp. But the trainers were happy to boost me in, and a ramp did get built. Yay for progress! =) The trainers, and Cappy are all awesome, and make you want to work hard to please them. Sadly, it's a bit out of my budget to continue, but I do have fond memories. If I ever start working full-time again I'll be back for more. read more

Cappy's is the real deal. I started boxing lessons two weeks ago, and this is by far the most amazing hour and a half workout I've ever endured, but it's so much more than just a workout. You learn real technique, practice with all the right equipment, and spar with the right kind of people. The instructors are friendly, helpful and encouraging, and good at pairing people of different experience levels. I used to train kickboxing, but a new job and schedule made it impossible to make it in time for classes and I've been looking for a viable replacement. I found something even better at Cappy's. One thing you'll get here that makes it incomparable to other gyms is the full contact sparring. You'll learn proper defense, and re-train your body to react the "right way". This will do amazing things for your confidence. If you're not into the idea of punching people or getting hit, there are non-contact fitness classes too. Check out the site and give it a shot. read more

I. Love. This. Gym. Cappy himself, Anne, coaches Margaret, Trisha, and Mike all rock. They call you by name and encourage you all the way and show you proper techniques and they make it fun with good tunes! The camaraderie and people here are great...no punks or hardcore meatheads. Everyone helps and encourages everyone. By far, the best place I have ever been since high school! People complain about the prices, but you get what you pay for and its worth every cent here! When I have bad days, I KNOW I will walk out feeling tons better!!! I lost over 20lbs, feel great, confident, higher self-esteem, and just overall enjoyment of life! And the kicker is....you get to hit something!!!!!!! At first, its intimidating...I myself was scared to go inside, but Cappy and his staff is just cool and professional and says hi to everyone! I invite all my friends and family to this gym. Check it out, you wont regret it! read more

I have been going for a couple of years to this gym. I love the community. I love the music. But most of all I love the workouts. I always feel strong and empowered when I walk out the door. I always look forward to going even when I know it is going to be hard. Not only do I get the physical work out, it is also engaging me mentally while working out. All around a great place. read more

I love Cappy's! It's only $5 for your first class, and if you're new, the instructors will make sure you know how to wrap your hands to protect them from the serious pounding you're about to inflict on the punching bags. ;) If you don't have your own boxing gloves, there are community gloves you can use. Each class begins with jump rope and some other warm up exercises, and then you are working through circuits for the remainder of class. There will be a written card at each station telling you what to do, and the instructor is available if you need some added explanation. A boxing bell will ring to signal your time to move to the next station. Loud music is playing the whole time, and it's pretty hard not to feel like a bona fide badass. I love that each class is different, and that you are paired up with someone at a similar skill level to you. Because you can work at your own pace, the format works for beginners and pros alike. The instructors are truly top-notch. Highly recommended! read more

Thanks to classpass, I got the chance to check out this place, because otherwise it is tucked away in a quieter neighborhood. I've heard about the benefits of boxing fitness for a while and have always wanted to give it a try. If you've been thinking about it, hesitate no longer- this place is awesome! For those who, like me, are unfamiliar with what this entails, here is a quick breakdown of what to expect. The entire class is one hour. The first half of the class is some pretty darn intense cardio, and the second half is boxing. During the cardio segment, there are various warm-up activities, such as jump roping and jumping jacks, each lasting 2-3 minutes. For the boxing part of the class, we rotated through different stations. Each station had two punching bags and a description of which technique it targeted, ex. jabs, hooks, etc. Throughout the duration of the class, there was high energy and upbeat music playing in the background, it was like a party of sweat, adrenaline, and endorphins. I was a little nervous about going because I've been pretty lazy and out of shape, but our instructor immediately made us feel comfortable. She explained where the equipment were and helped us with wrapping our hands. Even though the whole class was tightly structured (in terms of switching between activities), I was able to go at my own pace within each time block. The instructor walked around to help each of us with our stance and techniques. As a complete newbie, I felt taken care of each step of the way! I went to one of the morning sessions, and there were ample bags for each of us. In terms of location/venue, this is not a fancy equinox-y gym. It's in one of the older buildings, think creaking wooden floors under carpets and seasoned lockers, but it is clean and well-maintained. It has an endearing, a down-to-earth, neighborhood spot feel to it. Some notes: 1. First class is $5 without classpass 2. The instructor will help with wrapping your hands the first time, but it is also helpful to youtube it first 3. If you have valuables you want to store in lockers, you'll need to bring your own lock 4. They have all the equipment you need there. I *think* the hand wraps and gloves are $1-2 for rental. I wasn't charged for any of the equipment with classpass. read more

I came into this gym with a open heart, trying to Expand my horizon on other boxing gyms. Was greeted by one of the trainers right off the bat, a VERY welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Left the Gym feeling good about my work out and satisfied. =) Pros: They Actually Clean their Boxing gloves, after wards. BRAVO! Most gyms have my Hands spelling like feet by the time I leave. Alot of WOMEN Gym Members. Right on! Who says a Girl can't fight? Lets see you Punch like a girl! ;) Nice use of space. Cons: Not enough one on one time with the trainers. They do more class work then personal training. TOO PRICEY! Most of the gym's I've trained at charge 65-55 dollars a Month. They Charge ten dollars per class after your first class and Charge session to session fees. Too many people in one class , at once. read more

Went here for my first time on 3/13/11 for their Boxing Fitness Class. For first timers-it's only $5. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it's basically an hour long workout involving boxing moves. You even get to wear gloves and punch bags. I'm told each week is different. But my workout started with a warm up of jump rope, and some jumping exercises, and half burpees. We then were split into groups of three and went through a circuit. Each station had you doing a different thing - sometimes partnering up to throw medicine ball back and forth, do crunches, etc. The trainer (Trish) was really friendly and nice. She seems to know everyone's name (for the regulars). And she would come over to the new people to make sure they knew the moves. Even though I hadn't boxed before, I didn't feel intimidated. Just go in there and do your level of effort - everyone's different. For my class, there were all sorts of people...some in great shape, and some in not so great shape. Also, there were a lot of women which was great! Getting your stress/anger out on the many punching bags you encouter is GREAT! I'm in good shape now, but what a fun way to vary up your workouts. I was definitely sweating a ton and felt I got a great full body workout. For my first time - I didn't need any equipment it was all provided. But basically, you're looking at hand wraps (they'll help you with this), and boxing gloves (provided), and jump rope (provided). Definitely bring a water bottle! And your hands will STINK when you are done...just what happens when your hands are sweating inside boxing gloves. Bringing some hand santizer for afterwards wouldn't be a bad idea either. They didn't do any special cool down/stretching in the end...so you'll need to do that on your own. Since it was my first time, I'm not sure what they do to vary up the classes. And the $5 is for your first time visit only. After that, the website says it's $23 for individual classes or $93 for a five class pass. read more

Cappy's Boxing Gym - A look at the workout space. - Gyms Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

Cappy's is a great place for any experience level boxer or people just wanting a good workout. The class is a great mix of all skill levels and everyone should be comfortable there. I've been going to Cappy's for almost two years now, and the class never gets boring. Between the four coaches, each class session could be different. Also, I've noticed that each coach has a certain style to the classes they teach, so I'd recommend attending at least one class taught by each instructor. I drive all the way from Everett in rush hour traffic twice a week because it is definitely worth it! read more

Ditch your gym and go to Cappy's Boxing Gym! Pros: - Instructors and staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. I had never boxed in my life and felt so comfortable and confident - Amazing, fun, full body workout that melts away stress - Easy drop in policy for first timers - Comparable pricing - Street parking is a breeze Cons/Suggestions: - Location (great for those in Seattle, not convenient for Eastsiders). Maybe a second location will open one day :). I had such an incredible experience that I may make the journey anyway. - Great location/activity for a team building event read more

Cappy's is awesome. Even though I am not very consistent about going (off/on over the past couple of years), the staff remember me and are friendly and helpful. I get a better cardio workout here than anywhere else -- they push me to work harder than I could do by myself, but in a very gentle/supportive way. And it's always different so I'm never bored. I feel good each time I leave class. At first I thought I might feel intimidated by the other students or the setting, but the boxing workout classes can be modified for any level, and I never feel like anyone is giving me attitude. It's great. read more

There is no reason not to go to cappy's at least once. 1. First class is $5 2. It's the best work out you will ever have 3. Cappy's is the real deal 4. I'f you are worried about going boxing for the first time, don't be. The atmosphere is low key and welcoming. 5. You might leave knowing how to throw a punch. You can't say that about Pilates. 6. If you are into mma. Cappy's improved my boxing more in 5 min than I've done my entire life. Do it. You'll never regret it read more

I give this a five star because I saw how many people like this and I have never went to this place and I wanted to take my kid but I'm still not sure if they let kids train here so I'm asking if someone can tell me if kids can train here so my son can have fun doing what he likes read more

I've been several times now, so I feel like I can post a knowledgeable review. I'm trying Cappy's on a Groupon deal. It's easily one of the best Groupon purchases I've made! -Instructors go to great lengths to learn everyone's name and experience level, even in a very crowded class. -As a newbie, I haven't felt either singled out/babied or ignored. The instructors do a great job of giving each person the right level of personal attention. -Each workout is hard, but it's also easy to work at your own pace, which surprised me (I've been to similar gyms where there's so much pressure to be at 100% the whole time--even if you haven't worked out in months--and then I'm too sore/fatigued to keep up the habit, so I don't go back). -Even in a crowded class, I haven't felt uneasy. The circuit setup allows for lots of people without lots of crowding. -Lots of street parking. -It's just damn fun. Some tips: -Figure out how to wrap your hands via YouTube if you don't know already. -Get there early--they don't do class reservations or anything, so grab a spot early in case it's crowded. -Bring a friend for your first few times (a Groupon or something similar is helpful for this!); there are a lot of two-person circuits/activities, and it's nice to feel comfortable starting out with someone you know who's at a similar experience level. I feel like if I can't stick with this one, I'm doomed--they've taken away my excuses for not being active! read more

Go to Cappy's for a great workout and good time. You will not be disappointed, it is amazing. Bring water. Go at your own pace. You will work your ass off and have a blast hitting the bags. Don't worry, you don't actually punch each other. (They do have that, but it is a specific class.) I have sent a couple people I know there. We all wish we could attend more frequently. Easily a five star rating. I wish I could view the trainers schedules. read more

I have been going to Cappy's for a little over a month now and I can't say enough good things about this gym. I love it here. I do the boxing fitness class once or twice a week and it is absolutely worth the money. I've always done sports and I hadn't been able to find an exercise class that was truly a good workout until I came here. The classes are serious but still very fun and encouraging. From the first time you step into the gym, the coaches make an effort to learn your name and are very welcoming. I was surprised when I came in for my second class and the coach remembered who I was. They accommodate any fitness/boxing level. I had zero experience with boxing but I never felt out of place. The fitness classes begin with a series of interval warmups using jump ropes, agility drills, and strength and core exercises. Then you do a circuit with the bags and some strength and technique stations as well. The coach comes around to help you out. You can borrow gloves for free and hand wraps for a dollar I think. I love the Cappy's community and their classes. If my schedule allowed for it, I'd go more often. read more

I have been to boxing gyms before and don't get me wrong, Cappy's is a great place, but I think they are overpriced. I am just used to paying like $100 and recieving instruction and being able to spar without having to pay extra. But if price doesn't matter to you and you want a good workout, go here. Cancel your other gym memberships. read more
