This place was amazing it's def legit . For me being able to meet and shake the hand of the owner and 4 time world champion Dino Newville it was definitely an experience from the vintage boxing posters to Dino's history it's alot to take in and I can't think of a better place I'd rather learn to box at!

Hands down the BEST Boxing/MMA gym in Michigan. The instructors are top notch and Dino genuinely cares about every person that come through the doors. They go above and beyond for the community especially the kids. Dino has a Christian based philosophy that shows. He would give you the shirt off of his back if he knew it would help. They are a non-profit and depend on the generosity of local businesses and the community in order to continue helping our at risk youth. I can not say enough good things about Blues Gym and the staff there. Thank you for all that you do and I pray that you will be able to continue to help the community through your talents. Thank you again and God Bless!

Outstanding organization. Dino and Sara are wonderful people that care so much about helping their community. Wonderful youth programs that teach kids strong morals and good values. They have grand plans in the works that will benefit at-risk youth. I strongly support Blues and encourage Grand Rapids to do the same. Thanks for all that you do, Dino!
