effective way to get fit.   Before I get into the details, it’s important that we agree on the definition of 'fit'. Too often thin is mistaken for fit, and that's not what you should strive for.

South Paw teaches more than just skills and fundamentals of the class but also lessons that can be used through out life through encouragement, empowerment and positivity.

Met Coach Vic and Stephanie when I was in a very Dark place in life and I thank the Lord for putting them dead smack in my path. Not only the training that Coach offers at Southpaw gym is on point but he and his wife treated me and my sons like straight up family from day one. Definitely recommend it for 1on1 private training or a family thing . Check them out you'll see.

I had a flashback of the first week I worked out at the gym in Ocean with Vic Lashley. I skipped the second week and came back the third week and told coach Vic I couldn't even sit on the toilet my legs hurt so bad lol. Some of the best workouts I ever had. I'll be traveling from Edison to bring my kids to work with coach Vic.
