The instructors really want you to learn good form and technique and will help you with it. The gym isn't anything fancy, but a good place to take some boxing classes. I've never boxed before ROC Boxing & Fitness, but as a beginner they made me enjoy the sport and want to learn more about it.

Sweat. Bruises. Chalk. Fatigue…read more Whether you're training on boxing form and sparring, or hitting the kettle-bells, you're deal with all of that at ROC Boxing. And you'll thank them for it. I've been coming to this location, firmly posted across from Sticky Lip's BBQ's lot, for a few years on-and-off. If my school and work schedule wasn't so sporadic, I'd commit to a full membership instead of paying for one-off classes. There has not been a time I've worked out here and have not felt sore or completely winded. I love it! A lot of people I've asked to join me here have apprehensions because they think they will put on gloves and have to fight someone right away. THAT IS NOT THE CASE. There are several classes where it's simply workouts, conditioning, forms, and basic movements. Let me repeat this: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FIGHT ANYONE. I myself have not sparred, and have only done level 1 and 2 classes and it's just as much physically demanding as you would if you were in the ring. If you're feeling up for it, do it! The coaches here are very accommodating and will guide you through it. Speaking of which, every coach for their classes have their own style and method for having you work out in their classes but they universally all look out for their students' techniques and pushes them to power through. I really appreciate that. I give this place 4 stars because the facility can use some updating. Of course, a worn gym is a used gym, but for being around so long and having a following they could use some new equipment. Also, I frown charging for worn out wrap and glove rentals. I ended up buying my own stuff, but if people are paying to multi-use this equipment, it should be in better shape. Boxing is a sport that is now shadowed in the mainstream by MMA. However, it is still a sport of finesse, nimbleness and strategy. More people should give this place a shot at least once and challenge themselves to see what I mean :)
