I love that the classes are a mix of strength training and boxing so you get everything you need in one class.

It's definitely a class everyone should try at least once

I was a member for 8 months starting in January. I love the RockBox program and had some truly…read moreamazing trainers while there. In general, I would recommend RockBox for a fun and challenging workout. That said, the current manager--and part-owner--has made this particular gym awful. He has promised changes, and the best that's happened is that one broken bag was replaced. The gym floor remains dirty and covered in hair. The one bench that's used is wobbly and held together by tape. There has been a constant turnover of trainers with some of the best trainers leaving. If you want a great workout and are closer to another RockBox, go there. It's a wonderful workout. If you're considering the one in Greensboro, then as long as the current manager is involved, I simply cannot recommend going.

Not for me. So I get how people can feel they have a good workout here and a cardio class will have…read morethem feeling good afterward and the place is overall clean so that's the two stars. 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.

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.
