Awesome place!!! My 14yr. old son loves it here. Very friendly and welcoming staff. They've been very patient as he learns boxing and muay thai. Top knotch trainers for sure! My son takes these classes in his off-season from wrestling. It keeps him active, and he gets to learn these other sports. Every night when he comes home he is excited to show us a new move. Thanks for everything!!!
