I have been at southpaw for about 2 years and I must say this is my home away from home. All of the coaches and staff members are helpful and kind. The owners Stephanie and Vic don’t treat the gym members like clients, they treat them like family. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who is looking to get a great workout and meet some great people.
