I knew nothing about boxing before my first class which was box+. Duan took the time to go over the fundamentals with me and made sure I had the proper form. I didn't feel out of place and was welcomed. I had a great workout and I enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to the next class.

Just renewed my membership after trying out one month - having an absolute blast. I was looking for something to boost my cardiac health, work hand-eye coordination and balance, and sharpen agility/reflexes. Boxing fits that bill, but I'm not interested in contact sparring. I thought that would be a barrier to me giving it a try, but that's no issue here. Duane's sessions are a perfect blend of boxing fundamentals, agility drills, bag/mitt work, and everything between. Plus, it's just a good old fashioned killer workout. My shoulders are getting stronger, my cardio endurance is increasing, and I learn new things every session. Couldn't have asked for a better coach (Maddie's classes are a hit too!) with a straight forward, no bull approach that still meets anyone where they're at. No session is the same, but each one bleeds into the other. All the other members are fantastic too, always ready to give pointers and tips. All I can say is I walk away from every session sweaty, in a great mood, and actively thinking of the ways I can be better the next time I walk in. What else could you ask for?

I was a member at The Pound until it was time for my knee replacements. I'm a 67 yr old retired USA Master's Boxer, personal trainer, and coach. I loved going to The Pound because I could train and do my own thing without being bothered by anybody. I've watched the trainers and even took some sessions with Duane along with a couple of classes. You can pretty much be at any level, and it's a great gym and atmosphere. Watching Duane MANY times with clients would NEVER yell or belittle anybody! I have a ton of experience with clients of all types. Being semi retired, trust me that I know how to work with people of ALL types. From disabled to athletic competitive athletes. Duane is a very good trainer and is patient with his members/clients. AND when I recover from knee replacements: "I'LL BE BACK"

I spend most of my time on the East Coast and go to an outstanding boxing gym there. I have been searching for a similar high-caliber boxing gym in Scottsdale, where we spend about 1/4 of our year. Unfortunately, the vast majority of boxing gyms here focus on "boxercise," which, if that's what you're looking for, is great. However, I like to focus on boxing technique and improve my overall boxing capabilities. I found that The Pound is the only place in this area that fits that bill. Duane is knowledgeable and experienced, and like my gym back home, spends time on technique as well as getting a great workout. My philosophy is why not learn proper technique as well as get a great workout. I highly recommend The Pound.

I see some reviews that have given the gym 1 star and I believe these are personal attacks from bitter people or competitors. The gym is immaculate. Please see the pictures I provided or stop in and see for yourself. I think they have several world champion trainers and the facility is the nicest gym I have seen in Scottsdale. The classes are busy but not over packed and the instructors really know what they are doing. I wouldn't believe people who leave one star reviews for almost every business they review, seems like hate speech to me! Enjoy The Pound!
