We start with light warm-up and three rounds on the heavy bags. We then pair up for pad work. Coach Josh Flamm is a no-bull and very pragmatic coach.

Not only have I lost fat, gained muscle, and feel confident in my physique- but I have developed a true passion for the technique and art of boxing. Coach G and Coach Monika have truly built a special gym where they are able to give specific feedback to all of their members. They get to know you personally, understand what your fitness goals are, and why you are doing what you are doing. They provide excellent feedback and advise to help you maximize your efforts. I have tried a lot of different gyms, coaches, classes, trainers - and I have never seen results like I have in the past 6 months. I will forever be grateful for my RockBox Riverwalk family and for Coach G and Coach Monika's passion and dedication to their members.

One word: TRANSFORMATIVE! ....Rockbox has done so much for me. I first started with them for a…read moreshort period in 2017 and then I went back in 2021 and have been there ever since. From my highest weight I am over 50 lbs less today because of their workouts and the meal program that they gave me five years ago. I've been at my goal weight for some time but I still use the skeleton of their meal plan with my own tweaks (to make it keto). This gym is not like the Y where people go but sometimes don't really exercise much. Here you do classes - people modify when they need to , myself included - but you always follow along, you don't stand around and blow it off. The members are all sizes - it's a gym for real people. A basic class is 5 minutes of warm up, about 25 minutes of cardio-kickboxing, about 16 minutes of functional/weight/resistance training, about a 2 minute finisher, and about a 3 minute cooldown. ALL the coaches are great so I never worry about which class I'm attending - I just go when I can. They once in a while coordinate group outings at local restaurants - we even had a big group that went hiking at Crowders Mountain once. You can try a free class or two - they will lend you boxing gloves and you have to bring your own wraps or buy them there for $13 - it's because wraps really do provide shock absorption to your hands when you are punching the bag. I once didn't use them when I forgot them and I was surprised at how it felt without them - you definitely need them. You can purchase Unlimited in which you can go as much as you want, or purchase 8 classes/month, or you can buy a block of classes (I think 10 but I'm not sure?) and use them as you wish, or you can pay per class. I do Unlimited and make it a point to go no less than 15 times a month. If you are a Panthers fan, you'll enjoy that the owner - who is also one of the coaches - is Mike Tolbert, a former player. Mike and the other owner, his wife, Shia (also a coach!), could not be any nicer. I am not a person that ever liked to exercise or liked going to the gym - out of all of the places I've tried, this is the best. Just look at some of my numbers that I included (see pic) to show that I am living proof that this place works - as I mentioned, I used to dislike exercising and I weighed 52 lbs more. I am 54 years old (about to be 55). As you get older, the worry is that you lose muscle. My muscle mass number indicates that I have a good amount of lean mass for my size, my skeletal muscle number shows that I am above average in muscle relative to my weight, and my visceral fat number is 5 which is excellent and indicates that I am at low risk for diabetes and heart disease. ....and just in case you are wondering, I don't work there - I'm just a regular member. Bottom line: give it a try!

This gym provides a family-atmosphere style motivation where both trainers and members encourage each other. It is roughly 1/2 boxing and 1/2 crossfit style exercises. This style of exercise matches what evidence shows to be the most effective at getting and keeping in shape. Highly recommended as long as you are a positive person and interested in high-energy work-outs.

It's not fancy, there are no fad fitness classes, and there's no fluff. But if you want to become a real "Stick and Move" style boxer, call Coach Joe. Even if you decide not to become a competitive boxer, you'll still be guaranteed an exhaustive workout. Don't let "competitive boxing" intimidate you. If you don't wish to compete, you can train for years and years without ever stepping into the ring with an opponent. Jump rope, heavy bag, mitt work -- all great exercises, whether you choose to compete or not. Plus, everyone is welcome. At any time there might be beginners training alongside pro boxers. There are kids at Contenders Boxing and there are old timers, and everyone in between. I've seen whole families, mom, dad, and kids, all training together. Trust me, if you've never tried boxing, it's worth it to try Contenders Boxing.
