Awesome gym. My son and I looked at several gyms for him to go to and learn to box. I liked Pilger's from the moment I walked in. Rob (the owner) is a solid guy that is actually interested in the people training with him. Everyone at the gym (trainers and people working out) is personable and friendly. This is a great place to go if you are looking to actually learn to box or you are just interested in a great workout and getting in shape. My wife and I trust Rob and the other trainers with our teenage son three nights a week. I think that is the highest praise any parent can give.

Great gym with great people and a great atmosphere. Has everything you need to get a complete workout in. People from all different walks of life with skill levels from beginner to amateur. The trainers are knowledgable and will push you to the limits you are comfortable with. This is not a Title where you stand in front of a bag and everyone throws ones and twos. You have to be motivated and will to learn. If you are, you will not be disappointed.
