Just started my membership here, and I am very pleased so far. It's easy to tell that Coach Joe is a top notch trainer. He's patient and encouraging. His training schedule is laid out in such a way that makes it easy to follow (not necessarily easy to perform) and adds an element of fun while maintaining a strict adherence to the fundamentals. Not to mention, it's a great workout. There are other gyms in the area, they may be less or more expensive, but I can't imagine that any exceed the value of what's offered at Contender's. I've seen what appears to be a wide variety of skill here - from an 8 or 9 year old girl, to guys that seem like they were born to box. All seem to get excellent training. Bottom line: great gym. I hope to train here for years to come.
If you want to learn the sport of Boxing, this is the only gym in Charlotte. Though the rates may seem high, it is well worth the money. Joe is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his sport. Both my wife and I joined. Everyone was nice and the workouts were everything we wanted them to be. We learned how to box (self-defense) while getting whipped into shape. We highly recommend this gym!
I have been boxing and training boxers for over 20 years and I have yet to meet a coach that is so organized and fundamental in his training as Joe. He has a proven system to help EVERYONE from aspiring pro's to fitness enthusiast. It is a great program and I recommend it to everyone. So if you dream of being a world champion or just want to loose a few pounds while getting rid of stress, then Joe is your guy.
The owner, joe is a real nice guy, so is everyone in there, can help you on all aspects of your game and has a very open welcoming atmosphere that you don't find at a lot of boxing gyms. Great place for anyone, male or female to go to, theirs a wide range of people there old men training you who are still real quick to the pro quinton, nice guy, and even little children trying to learn. a good place...
