The draws of this place are the owner, the workout, and the reasonable rates. Winner. The owner,…read moreSteve Reid, is not just an expert in boxing, which is the least expectation, but as a trainer, he is supportive and attentive and as a business owner, he is generous. He is not out to make money out of you right away or at least he doesn't make you feel that he primarily sees dollar signs on you*. He wants you to like the workout and make sure it is right for you. He is in this for the long haul. You can contract private boxing sessions-- which I have done a few times and intend to go back for more-- or get in on the group class boxing circuits published on the schedule. I tried the circuit class and it is no less challenging than any of the others I attend in other places, except there is no running (ha!). There's enough cardio to take its place. I only wish there were more group classes on the schedule that I can take advantage of. If you love to hit the bag and get a really good workout for a great value, you have to come in to this place. Support local business that deserve to be around. *I was turned off with another spot because the owners were the exact opposite.

This place is the best. I have been to many gyms but non better than this one. The boxing workouts…read moreare awesome. This is not one of those boxing dance class places. The owner Steve is the real deal. He is a life coach to many, as well as a boxing/ fitness instructor. His classes are awesome.

Lots of free weights, grunge type..you know, where you actually sweat. Well, this is one of those places with a twist. There are two separate buildings; side-by-each as we say in RI. One houses the strength conditioning equipment (weights, treadmills) and the other is the cardio side which houses the boxing ring, heavy bags and everything else you would typically find in a MMA environment. What's nice is it's not your typical (Yo, Adrienne!) type gym or mentality. I would estimate it is evenly split 50/50-male/female...as more people become aware of the benefits of this type of cardio/core training. There is instruction (group and private) at all levels including: children's sessions in Boxing and Jujitsu; adult Muay Thai; BJJ, Boxing (non-contact) and sparring (only if you wish). While there are other places that offer some type of self-defense training, this is the ONLY boxing venue in the area. Overall, the best price structure as well. So if you're a beginner-advanced, just want to lose weight....OR MAYBE...you want to learn a good take down move the next time the guy in front of you is about to clear out the crab legs at the buffet...then this is the place.

This is one of the most welcoming and positive communities we have ever been part of. Everyone is supportive and wants everyone to grow and get better together. The professor is really takes the time to teach the techniques not just for sport, but for self defense. A lot of juijitsu gyms will have you grappling on day one, and this can lead to injury. Here you learn the techniques first and get to grow into grappling over time. Cortes BJJ has caused my back pain to decrease and go away. My son has gained so much more confidence and self control. The notes from the teachers are not coming home anymore. If you were ever thinking of giving a martial art a shot, the martial art you are doing has become stale. Come over to Cortes BJJ and try it out. You will be so happy you did.

I am a complete novice, so it was so fun to learn the proper punching and kicking techniques from the instructors. They were very patient when I didn't get things the first time. I was a bit intimidated at first and scared that I wouldn't be able to make it through a class without fainting, but the level of challenge was just right! The circuit training especially was a great workout - I was sweating a lot! But it was also fun because of the variety of the different exercises at each station as we rotated through. What made the classes especially fun and empowering is that both times I went, it was all women. It was so inspiring!!

Membership prices are within if not slight lower than average which is great for beginners trying to stick to something new. On my first visit, the staff was very helpful and provided a tour of their facilities, and explained ground rules clearly. Having been to other gyms while in Texas it's always nice to see staff explain simple do's and don't's to new visitors. My only concern is regarding kids running under or too close to the walls while climbers are on them, as the parents are either not aware or unfazed of the dangers to both their kid and the climbers. It would be nice to see staff address this to the parents. Overall great gym, amazingly friendly and helpful staff, facilities are always cleaned, and the climbing community is one of the most supportive out there!

Compared to my home location, I felt that their bouldering had a great mix of problems catering to varying different skill levels. I checked the website and it said that both locations had 3,000 square feet of bouldering. This Warwick location felt like it was bigger and had more, but who knows! For those that have not been here, there is bouldering that is on the right wall upon entering that extends to the back and wraps to the left. Then there is some lead belay walls right across the main bouldering. Off to the left are more top rope and auto belay walls. They also have a fitness center with gym equipment as well as a wall with all types of holds to practice on/learn hold types. Lastly, there is a yoga studio that is available to members. I really enjoyed the variety and the set up of this location. Visiting different locations is definitely fun and I'll be back whenever I'm in the area itching to climb.

LOVE this gym…read more Clean. New. Bright. Vibrant. Very updated space. Locker rooms are nice, feels extremely high-end for a gym. Classes are great - Yoga, Zumba, and Step are favorites. Decent schedule and variety. All instructors are great. Offers once a week free Zumba to check-out the gym. Separate room for women-only workouts, which is a nice option. Staff is friendly and accommodating. They are always looking to improve. A little pricier than other gyms in the area - if you aren't going to attend any classes, I am not sure if the added expense would be worth it. But if you like gym classes at all.... ABSOLUTELY worth checking out.

I think my favorite part about this gym is the excellent temperature control. Nothing's worse than a room temperature gym. All of the rooms for classes (each class has it's own room because the place is HUGE) are decorated, classy, and properly cooled. They have smaller sized changing room then is normal for most gyms, but it does have two showers, two bathrooms, and two sinks. Lockers and towels are free. There are plenty of machines, a room for women only, and from what I've seen it's never been too busy. 426 looks like a big warehouse, but they've done a really nice job with it. The manager, Paul, is also very nice - you can get a free 3 day pass to try out the gym and there are a ton of different priced membership/qasi-membership options depending on what you want to use the gym for. They have a parking lot off of Rosa street, with plenty of parking.
