Like every single gym out there, it has a social factor so members chat with each other and you will see Bob socializing when he isn't in the ring coaching someone or running drills with a small group. I have NEVER witnessed any inappropriate behaviour towards female members. Bob has shown me nothing but respect. He also has a witty sense of humor which adds to the energy of the gym. As far as the size of the gym goes well it's not kept a secret prior to you making the decision to join. Every gym has their own set of rules and it's your responsibility to ask tons of questions before handing over your cash. You have to be self-motivated and disciplined if you want to benefit from the SugarRay's experience. For those of you who want towel service, keep on walking . . this ain't no spa!

It was conveniently located close to us so we started going. The first class was tough. For a person who has tried a couple of the franchise boxing gyms in Vancouver - I had the wind knocked out of me a little bit - but in a great way. I found the instructors to be invested in improvement, technique, and structure from the beginning. I genuinely felt like I took away something from that class, and I find that quite rare for fitness classes. Not only have me and my husband become "regulars" to our standards, but we have also been able to genuinely build a passion for boxing through these classes. Every instructor is passionate about how they teach, what they teach and how you are progressing. I have lower back issues and multiple times, from other regular comers, professional boxers that compete and attend the gym and the instructors, I have gotten so much advice on how I could help with that pain and strengthen my muscles. I genuinely feel like you become a part of a family here - and I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for something to grow into, a caring family to be a part of and a KICK-ASS workout.

Instructors are knowledgable and engaging. Weekends get a bit packed. Apart from classes, they have a pretty decent weight/cardio section for working out that won't have you waiting in line for any machine (typically). Great place for a workout in that respect as waiting really throws off your workout plan.

The owner Robin is a super nice guy and has a wealth of experience in boxing. He actually just competed over the weekend.

There is street parking out front and on the side streets. If you wanna learn how to box or just get a good sweat on and get in shape, this is the place! Can't wait to be back!

They really know boxing and teach you the correct stance and punches. The place is at Bentall and they have awesome lockers with shower room, blow dryers, water, towels, etc. The place is clean. Initiation fee and membership is on the pricey side, but the place will definitely whip you in shape. There is a 2 week membership trial period and you can also do drop in, if you want. Classes are nice and leveled where they have the fundamental boxing, to beginner, and intermediate boxing. The two downside is parking is hard since it's at Dunsmuir and classes can become super full where you can be bumping into each other.

Once I went in, I'm amazed by the vibe and decor. Light is dim, love the cool decor, groovy music, it reminds me of an speakeasy pub. Laurie was very helpful and helped me with the hand wrap. Jordan was the instructor for the boxing fundamentals, he was extremely helpful and patient. I especially loved that he would come over to each student, to provide us with extra instruction and attention. It's a great slower pace class for absolute beginners like me, yet it still leaves me sweating and quite sore the next day. It is a very warm and welcoming environment, I would definitely come back for more!
