Classes are held at various times and days, ensuring there is one that suits your schedule. I highly recommend this studio for adults and children.

If you are looking for Tai Chi/Chi Gong classes in Miami there are not that many options so I was…read morepleased to find this place that is not too far from me. I tried their Tai Chi class in two different occasions and overall I was pleased with the experience. The second time I was there, I was the only student so I got a private session. The instructor was good at explaining what the class was about and provided details about the meaning behind the moves. In addition to martial arts like Kung Fu, Muay Thai they also offer kickboxing classes. They also have a lot of option for kids and teens. The place is spacious with a padded floor and an area with boxing bags. I visited using Class Pass but is sounds like they only allow it for the first couple times because at the end of the class the instructor offered class packages along with the need to buy the official uniform. Not sure if that is the case for other classes but it looks like they are looking for students who are committed to the practice. I think it's great that they take things seriously but it would have been nice to have more flexibility. I would like to go back to try other classes.

Great service. Amazing trainers. Wonderfull experience overall. Been wanting to revisit.read more

It's a great way to get physically fit through things such as strength, coordination and flexibility training.

It's a great thing for the kids socially as well they also get to work at their own pace without any pressure from others. The same principle apply to the adult Kung Fu classes. Adult kickboxing classes are also available for those interested. Nee's has been serving the community for almost 40 years which is a true testament as to what they believe in which is to bring out the best in each of the lives they touch.

Seeing the park from a guest's perspective was truly special, and I was impressed by all the positive changes. What stood out the most was the lifeguard team. They had no idea I had worked there before, so I was able to observe everything objectively. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care for guests were outstanding. One lifeguard even took a moment to play Rock, Paper, Scissors with my daughter while still remaining fully attentive to her duties in the Lazy River. My daughter won and received a lollipop, a small gesture that made her day and perfectly reflected the balance between safety and creating memorable experiences. I also want to recognize the entire team from the entrance staff, security, servers, and management. Everyone was welcoming, professional, and made the park feel organized, calm, and relaxing despite how busy it was. The only constructive feedback I have is regarding the FlowRider. I completely understand the importance of the safety video, but I believe guests should receive a brief explanation of why they're required to watch it. A little more communication and warmth in that interaction would make the experience even better. Overall, Tidal Cove exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to come back. Finally, I want to send my deepest appreciation to Daniela, Cesar and Jeff. Without your leadership, none of this would be possible. You have the park on point, and it truly shows in every detail. Thank you for building such an amazing team and creating such a wonderful experience for every guest. Hany

The place has two different entrances, the GPS usually takes you to the back entrance where you have to walk through a hall to get here but they have signs all over so pretty easy to get there. Parking is available all around the building. The class was a good combination of weights and body exercises. We didn't use the punching bags but they have other classes that do incorporate boxing. The coach was good showing the exercises, everyone seemed to be familiar with the moves so there was no need to explain a lot which worked fine with me. There is one main room with the punching bag area and another area for weights and machines with a turf in the middle. I would like to go back to try other classes.

(Trust me! I've been to quite a few boxing classes all over Miami) 2) Instructor Frands was excellent! The perfect combo of coach who pushes, encourager, someone who cares and is passionate while also professional and funny! Also his knowledge is next level yet he maintains such a humility and grace when teaching. I learned SO much in just 1 class, he never made me feel silly for not knowing - I was actually encouraged to keep asking questions so I can enhance my stance, hand posture and body moments. So refreshing! If anything, I was slightly annoyed that other gyms didn't give the same attention to my movements, meaning I've been doing some things wrong for a couple weeks that could've been corrected if they had the same dedication to teaching true boxing. 3) The community was so kind, being my first time there others were helping me set up (not just at the beginning but throughout the entire class ), talking and laughing with me! There was a kindness that is usually cold in other gyms. as the newbie you tend to come in, and no one even acknowledges you. Not here! 4) The gym itself has a good flow and layout, quality equipment, it's clean and has everything you need to box, lift or grapple! Also I lost one of my wraps, but they had for purchase for $10! But be sure to bring your own gloves! 5) Almost forgot to mention, very key - there is ample parking! Huge props to the owners for the gem you've created in the heart of Miami! Can't wait to come back!

The Box is located at the Shoppes at Midtown near Angelina's and SugarCane. Atmosphere: This studio is brand new and outfitted with lockers, changing rooms, immaculate bathrooms and a cool indoor boxing ring. There is also a juice bar, The Juice Box, that sells drinks and smoothies for a post workout treat. The actual boxing studio is a separate dark room with black lights, high ceilings, mirrored walls, and 3 rows of punching bags. Everyone gets their own bag and each bag has a sensor that tracks how many punches you get in and your power. You can see you stats at the end of class to gauge performance. Workout: I've tried class with 3 of the instructors (Angie, Mike, Alvin) and they've all been awesome. Music is blasting, and the instructors explain the punches/combos and walk around offering help where needed. Class is 45 minutes divided in into a couple segments: warmup, shadow boxing, actual boxing on the bag, 5 minute abs and a cool down. There is a clock on the wall that times the different sections, and the class FLIES by! The Box offers classes almost every hour on the hour so it's pretty convenient to find a time to come in. Other: Parking can be difficult. Give yourself 10 minutes to find a spot. Wraps are $6 for purchase and can be reused. Gloves are $3 for rental per class.

Give yourself some extra time so you don't miss a single minute of this killer workout. I brought my own wraps and gloves, and would recommend that everyone hits up the "going out of business" sale at Sports Authority to do the same. It's the most economical option if you plan on doing a lot of boxing over time....but I digress. Behind a very clean entrance area and small boxing ring are a wall of lockers. There's a few very clean and modern bathrooms with showers also available, and in general the entire place was immaculate. The class takes place in dark room with rows of bags tied to the ground. There's a few things I love about this setup: 1) you can hardly see yourself which means that nobody else can really see you...aka, no fear of being judged and 2) each bag is equipped with a sensor to keep track of your performance based on the number of punches you land. Being a VERY competitive person, this fueled my fire and motivated me to work even harder in class. I also really liked our teacher, Gab. She made the class super hard but wasn't intimidating or too tough on us. It was just the right amount of encouragement and technical support, and I really enjoyed her class. Overall, this studio, the amenities and teachers give this place an A+. Can't wait to go back!

I've joined legacy fit, I joined ClassPass, I do the Miami Run club, I joined Anatomy -I've done multiple meal programs and bought online guides. I've had multiple trainers before. I did that and spent that money. I've even been at sculpture for years while doing all the above - it wasn't until I started actually listening and applying what the trainers at Sculpture told me to my life and taking it seriously - that I started to see changes and apply it to my life and fitness journey. I even when I left - I realized even the trainers at more "hipper" gyms didn't give me what I needed or was looking for in a trainer. When you join this gym, you get a trainer sure, you get a meal plan, OK, but you get a life coach and friend too. Someone you can ask 10000 questions and who will stay with you well past your time slot and make sure you do what you need to do. They keep up their end of the bargain and actually want to see you win, you aren't just a customer. My trainer RAUL literally told me, I'm meant to learn from him so I can do it on my own and eventually not come to see him. NOT GONNA HAPPEN, but that's how I know he has my best interest.
