Amazing coach. Very knowledgeable and detail-oriented.
Regardless if you're new to boxing or have experience, this is the place to properly learn, get in shape, and have fun at any age. Coach Harold has helped me a ton. The skills you'll learn will improve your health & fitness, situational awareness, and self defense in life. Like Coach says, it's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. If you are on the fence about giving it a try, just do it! Highly recommended, safe & fun, with an awesome bunch of people - 100% great experience, from A-Z.
Myself and a couple of friends went last week to a class and we had a great time! The instructor was VERY patient and helpful. He was highly knowledgeable and we learned so much in only an hour. It is actual boxing techniques and instruction not a ‘kickboxing cardio class’ but we definitely worked hard and had a great time.
Coach Harold is a wealth of knowledge and makes beginners feel welcome. He explains techniques simply and effectively. Other class mates are also friendly and willing to help with any questions or concerns. My wife and I felt welcome from the moment we walked in. Anyone debating taking the trial class should not wait, and send coach an email through their website and get a trial class booked! My wife and I will be joining full time!
Coach Harold is certifiably knowledgeable of boxing, and very wise. He is the type of coach who wants you to improve even more than you want to improve, and he will shoot you straight. This gym is perfect for both beginners, and those with experience. (I started having never put gloves on.) If you commit to even a few nights a week at this gym, you WILL learn the fundamentals of boxing, and likely enjoy every step of the way.
