I know the owner personally. I see how much time and effort he gives to this gym and the kids. Rich has the biggest heart and has a vision to positively impact the community. Good luck Rich.

Coach Rich (the owner) is straight-up dangerous. The sparring etiquette at this gym is appalling as I've seen his kids go up against larger and older boxers. This would typically result in his kids getting a BLOODY mouth or bloody nose. Even when his students are clearly outmatched, he refused to stop the session and would just give them generic advice like "keep pushing" or "be a fighter". On top of this, I have routinely seen eight year old's hitting each other as hard as possible over and over again without ANY supervision. This attitude towards sparring is outdated, irresponsible, and dangerous. While "coach" Rich might say I'm soft for having this mindset, I would say I just recognize the severity of brain damage and CTE.I attended this gym for a month or two and during that time he coached around FIVE lessons in total. It was basically an open gym where students come and train however they would like with minimal instruction. Generally, the only time he was active in the gym was during sparring sessions - which were essentially fights. If you are a blood-thirsty person looking to get into fights routinely, then look no further, this gym is your home. However, if you are a parent that wants your children to learn martial arts, please consider the various other options in the area. There are so many other gyms where your children will be respected, safe, and receive actual instruction.The fact that this Rich guy receives TAXPAYER money to have children slug it out daily without meaningful instruction is incredibly frustrating to me. The only thing that is acceptable about this gym is Nate. Nate takes it upon himself to instruct the kids properly and actually takes the time to teach them. If Nate was the head instructor and owner, I would still happily be at this gym and you would be reading a five-star review. This is the ONLY review I have ever left for ANYTHING. Which should be very telling with how strongly I feel about this.

This gym has really brought the best out of me physically and mentally. From the coaches to the other boxers, I have found a place that pushes me each and everyday and holds me accountable for personal fitness. Those looking to perhaps box at a higher level should definitely check out Legacy Boxing gym.
