I am really loving it so far!…read more Location: In the shopping center of Academy sports/viva chicken. Parking:Plenty! Even on busy hours The workout: It is a kickboxing/cardio/functional training infusion! I feel like what they advertise is exactly what you get! When class starts the lights go out and music goes up. Besides the great coaches that is what keeps drawing me back. I will be honest this is the hardest workout I have done in my life but it is so much fun that just when I feel like stopping a good tune is on or the coach/fellow classmate gives some encouragement. They have a calendar that shows what the focus is for that day upper,core,full-body etc. so you can get an idea of what you need to warm up and mentally prepare for. Coaches/customer service: I have primarily dealt with Victoria for membership and Marquis a couple of times as well. Both are very positive and upfront about costs/membership and always greet me with a smile! The coaches just don't get better than this. Coach K (Kiara) is absolute top notch and who I've been working out with the most, She is the perfect blend of energy,kindness,and knowledge. I've tried Coach Willie and Mallory once and really look forward to my schedule allowing me to do more with them in the near future. I got to meet Coach Kenzie and she is so positive I can't wait to try one of her classes! Overall: I'm still sort of new and will update as I continue but so far this has helped me change my life in such a good way. The workouts are intense but super fun and I've always been surrounded by encouraging staff and classmates! Tip:Good for all level of fitness beginner-advanced

Dear Reader, Before we get into this review it is vital for…read moreyou to understand that my view on exercise is, I'll do it but I'm going to complain the whole time. I will still give the occasional dirty look when someone tells me to do a burpee but for the most part I love coming to the Rock Box. I NEVER thought I would say that about a gym. I've been a member here for over a year which is probably the longest stint I have given any gym. I know previous reviews have stated the cost is a bit high, but I think it's worth it. The trainers really take the time to recognize everyone in the class and make an effort to recognize you during class. I have to tell you the main reason I signed up after my initial free trial class is the head trainer Coach K. She has a lot of energy and a lot of motivational quotes. During my first class, she said "This work out isn't killing you, you killing it." And that really turned around my "Everything hurts and I'm dying" outlook at the gym. If your first experience at the RockBox is with Coach Kiara, you are in for a really great time. When you come to your first class you will get an overview of the key boxing moves needed for the glass and then it off to the races. If you have to go slow, don't worry no one is gonna be up in your face telling you to move faster. Half of the class will be punching things and then you move to the "functionals" which is a bit of weight lifting and strength training, again you go at your pace, if you need a break take a break. I already gave a shout out to Kiara, but this place is full of amazing trainers. Coach Willie has a sixth sense to know when you are going to need a modification and comes right to you to help you figure it out. Do you have some rage from being denied Eras Tour tickets that you need to punch out? Your fellow Swiftie Coach QT has the combo for you. (Full disclosure if you actually got to see the Eras tour she might make you do a burpee.) I can't make it to every class to see every trainer but just know they all bring the same fun energy with their own unique flavors. Also, if you are millennial that wants to hear your favorite jams from high school somewhere other than the grocery store, RockBox has you covered.

My husband has been going to True Warrior for a few years now. In those years I have seen his…read moreself-confidence grow, his energy and focus improved, his desire to be healthy and strong increased. It changed the way he leads our family, being more present and wanting more for us as a family unit and wanting to have more of an impact on others - esp those of a younger generation. Earlier this year we wanted to find a family friendly MMA environment for our 9 year old - somewhere to build up his confidence, to feel encouraged, not afraid or broken down or pressured whenever he didn't quite get it right. When he told me about the Tiger cubs program we tried it out for our son. The 1st few weeks of my son attending he was all smiles...hesitant to learn something new but smiling. The kids are helpful and supportive, as they're encouraged to help teach new kids as a way of also earning stripes and advancing. Coach Toby's style of teaching is admirable - teaching them beneficial skills while also having fun; never putting the kids down or making them feel less than or shaming them, but encouraging them and partnering them with the right kids to help them. As a mom that meant a lot to me knowing I could trust this coach to have my son's best interest at heart. Shortly after, what was supposed to be just me observing turned into me joining my husband boxing, and then also joining the Warrior Women's Self Defense class on Sundays. Up until that point I was just a mediocre long distance runner, training every few years for a half or full marathon. Joining True Warrior/Warrior Women has made me feel stronger and capable (mentally and physically), more aware and wiser, and part of a community of women/men who support each other. Saturday family Boxing Day has made such a positive impact on my family - a day we look forward to working out together and training together, being close and stronger...together. That's what this school promotes - community, strength, skill, people helping people, faith and positivity, all in it together. We are grateful to Coach Toby and Coach Ryan for all they do and how they do it! Their skills are unmatched and amazing to see, but how they teach it and coach others is impressive. It's an environment that can be intimidating walking into, but walking out of those classes you feel welcomed, included, empowered, absolutely humbled at times (haha!), thankful, unified. I absolutely love this school and what it's done for my family!! -Rodriguez fam

But my experience was after signing up for a free class someone contacts me via text. They are asking some questions just general and seeing if I had questions so seemed off to a decent start. When I arrive for the class. They immediately wanted my id and some fitness background information as I went to wrap and put on my gloves they said I couldn't wear my own gloves. I had to wear 9round gloves. So I get told that they would do a loaner pair today for me to take the class and then when we were done if I signed up they would "give me my own with my sign up" the way this was worded was exactly like that. . Well there is not any type of stretch we just jump onto the first station as you guessed there are 9. It's just flowing through each station hiit style. I much prefer bag and partner work. Anyway at station 8 my legs were cramping and I was told I could stretch after .. After it was immediately time to try to sign me up on the spot not stretch. First of all the gloves that I was told I'd be "given" w my sign up actually cost $150- but $75 if I signed up right then and there. The overall pricing is high and it's not really worth the money imo. Following the class I got a text from the original girl who I had been communicating with and was there at the time of my class which was fine. Following that I got a text from someone else who works there who wasn't there telling me how great I did etc.. (weird) and then after that another msg using someone's " ring name" It's an overpriced cardio class for people who want to box but not really. It's not form/skill oriented but if you're solely looking to switch it up and drop some weight it would probably be okay for you.
