Get someone else at the front desk, A couple months ago I brought a friend and the lady behind the desk absolutely a nightmare. She told me I couldn’t wear a sports bra or a t shirt or shorts… basketball shorts and I had to be covered from head to toe, mind you there are Pro women there wearing sport bras able to wear whatever. Not only that but men can wear basketball shorts no shirt period and he told absolutely nothing. I asked her about it and she said I was too distracting and we don’t that here…ummm ma’am I was wearing a t shirt and basketball shorts. Then I brought a friend and she started yelling at us when it was near closing that we needed to get out and come up there when we’re just wrapping up the workout, mind you there are other people there… men there finishing also but we’re the only ones told we had to leave and come see her. We’re hot sweaty, doing the same workouts as the men and pro women but have to be clothed head to toe…it’s not what you wear it’s just whose wearing it. It make young women not want to go there, and we aren’t even going to touch on how creepy the men are there, constantly trying to make conversation and watch you. It’s fine if you’re male.

I wanted to share a quick story in hopes that perhaps it will help someone else one day.. my oldest son has always struggled with anxiety as he went in to his early teen years he seemed to feel worse with all the pressures at school . Although we always kept him busy with different activities he still seemed a bit lost . At some point it was suggested that he start taking antidepressants ..I as a mom felt he wasn’t there yet and looked at different things he could do to help him.. when we found Sam Colonas Gym we were so excited to give it a try . My son came out super tired his first day lol but so happy ! Feeling super ready for the next class . Today he’s a much more confident kid , and is much better at socializing with kids his age .. he’s even taken the time to practice with his siblings. So I’m very thankful that we found this gym ! A special thanks to the instructors and to Debbie ❤️ Who genuinely care about all our kiddos .

I’ve been boxing on and off for about 5/6 years. Sam colona is a very hands on coach he’s helped reach my goals as a boxer but not only that he has built my character from the ground up. He’s truly the best coach there ever was!! I recommend this gym over any gym because we are a family a community of people who love to FIGHT FOR THEIR LIVES💕

Sam Colonna, I just want to say hands down the best boxing coach ever!! I love the gym because he teaches on so many levels. I recommend Coach Anthony as well he's very hands on and he's very honest with us he uses different boxing techniques that help us grow as a boxer. Everyone who has ever trained at this gym knows that we are a tight family and we don't judge anyone we lift them up and train hard so we can get the results we want. Sam has built my character from being very insecure to being a true champion in and outside of the gym. Thank you, Sam for creating this gym environment for us we truly appreciate all the staff and all the coaches!!
