Great Gym, I haven't met the owner John, but I have spoken with him over the phone, seems like…read moresuper cool dude. All of the coaches there from the jiu-jitsu coaches, boxing coach, Muay Thai coach they're all great and very helpful if you ask. I would highly recommend going here. It's $160 a month for unlimited classes. It's totally worth it in my opinion if you're a fan of mixed martial arts, gyms don't get much better than this. I really don't see what they could do much better than what they already have so John, good job, and I look forward to meeting you in the future.

There are many reasons to love Boxing Charlie's, but I have to say the best one is because when…read moreyou're here to work out, it doesn't feel stressful or difficult. However, after several classes with Charlie, I already see a noticeable difference. It's pretty amazing! Charlie is a great teacher. The classes are one on one, unless you have a friend or several friends you want to work out with. He is patient and understanding, even for a beginner in the ring like me. There is little contact. This isn't a rough place where you actually do a lot of punching. It's more a low contact boxing class that gives you an amazing workout. I have to say Charlie is a good listener too. During class he gives good advice about diet and exercise, and he even listens to me talk about my boyfriend. I love these classes. I come every time I visit family in Baltimore. I can't recommend them enough.

I've gone to Boxing Charlie's on and off for a year and a half now. Charlie is a great instructor…read more When I come for sessions after months of being MIA, he makes sure to review the basics with me so I can quickly catch up and get back into training. He strikes a good balance of pushing you while also making sure you don't overexert yourself. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great workout and who wants to get some one-on-one training so you can really learn how to box.

I decided to try this place out after making a promise to my grandad that I would get more active…read more I signed up for the trial class. You have to buy hand wraps for the class (mandatory, can't box without them), $10. They show you the punches before the class starts so you are not a total fish out of water. The classes have all different levels of skill and physicality so you can move at your own pace and not feel like you need to compete with the person next to you. As I write this review I have just completed my first month of class. I love it!!!!! I go on Saturdays, first thing in the morning. Jerome is the Saturday instructor and he is awesome. He pushes and gets in your face but he's such a motivator and makes sure that you are getting it. His classes can be intense but you feel the reward. I gotta mention Tina too. She is just this super awesome ball of energy. She has walked me through so many things. She's always ready to help and never makes you feel like "Geesh you don't have it yet!!" She is also a great motivator. These positive folks are why I look forward to waking up early on a Saturday. Power Punch!!!

Absolutely my ME-TIME place!! Stressed out? Anxiety? Frustrated? Perfect place to release ALL of…read moreit!!! Brad and his staff is beyond helpful and knowledgeable!! I never boxed before & now almost 2 months later I fell like a pro (even if I don't look it, hahahaha)! The rounds go by so fast & will have you burning calories even faster! They give you a free class pass to try it out, I joined the same day. Although a bit pricey @ $129 a month (unlimited classes) it's sooo worth it!! You get out of it way more!!

I've been coming to elite SFN for several months now and that's because they have the best Zumba…read moreinstructor teaching here. Her name is Andrea and her class is like a party. Great music combined with awesome fitness & dance moves makes for a fantastic class where you don't feel like you're working out. I drive about an hour every Tuesday just to come to this class. I can't speak on any of the other classes they offer here, but if it's anything like the Zumba class, then you can't go wrong.

Kwame (owner) was the instructor for the class and he is awesome! he immediately recognized i was new and introduced himself personally to me. despite it being a group class, i noticed the individual attention he gave me; helping me with technique and form. at the end of the class he explained some of the membership options and was not a pushy salesman at all! this place has everything you need for an amazing workout and highly recommend!

Love this place. I started coming here around Feb of this year. My background for the last 9 years…read moreis in weightlifting and powerlifting comps so this was a big change for me. The owners JD and Troy are so welcoming and friendly and they seem to remember everyone. I got recommendations on wraps, gloves, etc. when I decided I wanted to really get into this. I go 1-2x a week and have really enjoyed getting into a new sport/hobby. The coaches are just the right amount of serious and goofy to keep people learning but also having fun. They do a good job of managing varying class sizes with people at all different levels. I've met a lot of other nice and welcoming members of the gym through the classes too. People of all different ages and backgrounds come here so it's always very diverse with who you are working out around. But everyone seems to fit in and get the attention they need in order to improve their skills. The first class is free so I definitely recommend checking this place out!

Jesse is a great teacher and excellent giuy who creates a fun learning environment where everyone feels comfortable doing their best. No experience or athleticism required. For me it's been a few years of doing it; lost 100 pounds after a heart attack and it's my home for mental health too; I'm so grateful for it. Come join us; you'll never look back.

Golden Aces just opened but my six year son has been with Coach Kenny since the fall. His knowledge…read moreof boxing, and his tutorial skills are impeccable. My son had no idea of any techniques to use, now, he has already learned some of the basic skills and fundamentals. Coach Kenny is enthusiastic about training and gives complete attention. I have no doubt that this gym will flourish into a top notch establishment, that will produce discipline, skills, and fun. If you're interested in boxing, regardless of skill level, give GOLDEN ACES BOXING ACADEMY a look at. You won't be disappointed.

This class - no, movement - has changed my life…read more.. Heads up: this is a REAL boxing class. You will learn technique. You will learn to wrap your hands. You will use the heavy bag. Your endurance will be tested. You will work with skilled, professional trainers in a real boxing gym. It is challenging, and you will feel incredible after those 45 minutes! You will feel powerful and energized. You will feel comaraderie with fellow female boxers as you work together to build your individual skill sets. You will feel respect for Merissa, the instructor, who challenges you while having your back at all times. I seriously can't say enough in support of this movement. Just go. Go.

Just like every other review states, great sweat but horrible customer service and horrible…read morebusiness model for you the customer. It's Impossible to cancel. The owner will threaten you verbally and physically and try to wheel and deal you into cancelling their membership. They double charge sometimes and randomly. They charge random days each month and it's usually never the same. It's happened to me a couple of times. They say they will take care of it but they don't. They are not a good business and they will take your money and make it impossible to cancel. They have multiple emails and multiple processes and multiple scripts on how to cancel your membership. You would think by telling and emailing the owner that you want to cancel would suffice, but that is far from the truth. This place is a sham and because of all these other horror stories I have read, I'm glad I escaped when I did. This is the first time I read the reviews and I was a member for years. the owner talks about this freely about not caring about the members and has no problem sending his members to collections because he knows he cons people into signing shoddy contracts that are impossible to get out of. This place deserves less than a star and it's sad because you can get a decent sweat here, but the owner is a horrible person.

The good: Fun classes, good sense of community…read more The bad: I join a chorus of others who keep being charged for classes despite following the contract. I had two doctors notes for broken bones/injuries and I was charged for those months. I finally got an email response which was obvious that they hadn't read my previous emails. When I moved out of the area, I followed my contract to cancel. I unfortunately have been charged 3 months out and have had to dispute with my bank. I cannot in good faith recommend this gym given my experience and other reviews, which is a shame because there's so much potential within the neighborhood.
