The day before my first class, I swung by the studio to see if there was anything I needed to prep beforehand (ie buy hand wraps, etc). Instantly, you could feel the sense of community instilled here. I’ve never experienced that at a gym before.
I highly recommend the classes here, and the personal training with Stefan Molejo. The classes are fun, effective, and they usually have some focus to them. The trainers are great! They're helpful and encouraging, and make the whole vibe of a class fun. Stefan's personal training is awesome.
I love it! Starting with the front desk people who are very friendly and attentive and finishing with the instructors who are so nice. Good classes too. My favorite instructor is Moses. Besides the cardio involved (I promise you'll sweat), he is teaching boxing basics, improving your form and defense.
