Changing Lives: Rechani’s Family

I was looking for a place for my daughters to learn self-defense and a place where I could exercise with my girls. I wanted them to know how to defend themselves. Usually gyms do not allow kids, but South Beach Boxing is different. My eldest daughter, Jessica, also needed a place to lose weight.

It took about 6 months for us to finally come into South Beach Boxing. My girls had extracurricular activities, and I wanted to wait until those finished. When we first walked into South Beach Boxing, I did not expect my 6-year-old to be embraced so warmly. I thought Jade would not be able to stick around, but Jolie gave her personal attention. I expected the gym to be strict, with no kids allowed after a certain time like most gyms. Instead, the team is very welcoming and flexible. I can come in during the morning and bring any of my kids. My youngest, Jade, is even allowed to join the adult classes with me. I have been coming here for about a year and a half now. What we have gained from the gym is self-defense, proper technique, greater self-esteem, and healthy weight loss.

They say it takes a village to raise a child, and South Beach Boxing is our village. They are always there for my three daughters: Jade, Jessica, and Jennifer. I love South Beach Boxing. It is warm and unpretentious. I come in the morning when I can, and then I come back in the afternoon for my girls. Anyone who has never tried SBB should come in and try a class. If you have kids, bring them. It is an encouraging environment, and your kids will burn plenty of energy here.

Our lives are noticeably better since joining SBB because we all feel more confident. We got everything we hoped for and more, and we started noticing real changes within about 2 months.

Thank you, South Beach Boxing. We love you!
