I need to start by saying that since remote learning started in 2020 my teenage son has been a…read morecouch potato. The only thing that ignites a fire in him are trips to the fridge. That was until we paid a visit to TMX. As a parent I was impressed with the cleanliness and the Covid Safety measures in place. As well as the professionalism displayed by the staff. My biggest accolades for this gym is the fact that after only being there for about 10 minutes the staff made my son feel so comfortable and excited that a fire within was ignited and he actually stayed for a class. So far my son has only been to one class however we have signed him up for a membership. His words at the end of the class were "who knew exercise could be so much fun"!

My online inquiry was responded to quickly by Liz and she connected me to Chris, one of the trainers. I set up a series of private sessions and found Chris to have great technical skills and an easy to follow teaching philosophy. I learned a lot during my sessions and plan to return when I am in the area. This business has a friendly environment and is well run. I highly recommend TMX for both beginners and those with more experience. Thank you Sara and Chris for making me feel so welcome, improving my skills, and for great workouts!

I can't say enough good things about AMP Academy. My kids have been going to AMP's Ninja Kids…read moreclass for the past two years, and although they've since moved on to other interests (as many kids do), they've become better kids as a result. What I've noticed which is most important: EVERY kid is welcome regardless of their athletic ability, and every kid receives an equal amount of attention. There are no "favorites" here... Josh (the owner) and his instructors spend time helping every student use their own strengths to conquer each obstacle, and they also ensure that everyone in the class stays focused. No kid leaves this class feeling like they were left out. Class sizes are reasonable (usually around 10-12 students, less in the summer), and they set up new obstacles frequently so there's very little repetition. My review is based only on AMP's Ninja Kids class, but they've got an assortment of other classes as well; Parkour, Capoeira, etc. The first class is always free... even if it wasn't, AMP Academy would still be worth checking out.

The instructors are firm but kind and push the kids to be not only better "mini ninjas" but better humans as well. Each week is a different challenge. They have to be respectful, listen, help others, wait their turn, cheer others on, and say something they learned at the end of class. They then get 10 minutes of free gym at the end. The do, though, loose time if they do not follow the rules, however, it is done in a very respectful way and in a way kids understand. Highly recommend

I've been going to Box Around for about a month now and my only regret is that I didn't start…read moresooner. I had some preconceived notions of what a boxing gym would be and I couldn't have been more wrong. All of the people training at Box Around are great people. Bud Lakin, is a great trainer and an even better person. I came in totally green and after a month I can move around in the ring pretty decently and hit the bag the proper way. The boxing training is great for someone like me that doesn't like to just run. I get a great cardio workout every time I go and I've already lost about 6 pounds of flab. I really can't stress enough how good the atmosphere of this gym is. There's no swearing and yelling, just a bunch of people training that are very supportive of each other. My kids are a little young to bring in the gym, but once they're a little older I will bring both as soon as I can. The price is more than reasonable especially considering the attention you get from Bud. If you have always been curious about picking up boxing even if it's only for fitness and confidence, Box Around is an awesome place to go. A quick side note, I called about 3 to 4 gyms trying to get some info up front and Bud was the only person to call me back. I'm very happy that he did, I wouldn't want to train anywhere else. Here is the link to their site, the posted one doesn't work at the moment. http://boxaroundboxingclub.com

I will preface this review with why we decided on boxing for a 5 year old - My 5 year old son who…read moreis very small for his age was being picked on by some older children, and once I saw this with my own eyes I decided it was time to teach him how to stand up for himself and give him some confidence that would allow him to grow into the person he is meant to be. (not beaten out of him by bullies) My son after 5 weeks- He knows the proper stance, how to properly throw a punch, hit the heavy bag, balance shadow boxing on a tire, and even hit the gloves in the ring. Bud Lakin is firm but kind, quickly gaining my sons respect. He has given my son a new level of confidence. My son is able to handle the corrections Bud makes to his stance or rhythm because he knows Bud is helping him and knows it comes from a good place. The lessons are reasonably priced and really the best money my husband & I have ever spent (we both agree). We are doing twice a week on Tuesday and Thursdays and each time the lesson is over my son is amazed how fast the hour and a half went and eager to stay longer. The gym has other children around 10-14yrs old in at the same time, and they are kind and encouraging to my son and polite and respectful to myself. There are also usual a couple of other men and women training who are also friendly and make us feel welcome. Last week Bud had my son work in the ring with a grown man...the man was on his knees so he was eye level with my son and allowed my son to practice his boxing skills on him, bobbing and weaving to make it a real challenge for my son teaching him how to move like a boxer . It was a real highlight for my son. Also, with the children, there is NO contact, meaning my son does not ever get hit. These lessons really build his confidence and keep him safe. My husband plans on taking lessons once he gets a few days off from work. Bud is teaching my son lessons that will stick with him forever. These are life skills in this tough society we now live in. I highly recommend this gym for anyone interested in learning the art of boxing, I enjoy watching Bud Lakin work with my son and the others training. It is like watching a master teacher. You can see he does it for the love of boxing, not the money.

When I started to train at Strategic Strength and Conditioning I wasn't obese, but definitely had a…read morelittle bit of fat to lose. It's funny, you know, I'd been in the gym on and off for a few years without much to show for it. I didn't believe that a trainer would really be able to help me until I had "worked my way up to it". I also work shifts - sometimes nights - and don't sleep well. What I particularly liked about Strategic Strength and Conditioning was that they looked at me as a whole as opposed to giving me some exercises and counting the sets and reps. It took a bit of time but they first helped me establish better sleep habits. Not one to diet, Strategic S&C took a look at what I ate and helped me identify what foods I really loved, and which ones that I could live without. The result was an almost immediate weight loss. I'd recommend to anybody.
