I was looking to get in shape and find a gym I could truly connect with. I was feeling stressed and overwhelmed by work and was not getting my regular workout in. I had trained in MMA before when I lived in California, and I really wanted to get back into training.
A lot of the gyms in South Beach feel stuffy and pretentious. I did some research and saw how raw and real South Beach Boxing was. I also loved Jolie (another Cali girl) and Marvin as soon as I walked in, as they were so friendly and welcoming. From that first day, I knew this was the place for me.
It did not take me long to stop by. As soon as I heard about the free first class, I came in immediately. I signed up right away because the classes were so diverse. I originally came in for Muay Thai and discovered technical classes, boxing, boot camp, and more.
I have been coming for a year already and the time has flown by. The friendships and connections I have made here feel lifelong, and I have been having so much fun that it does not feel like a year has passed.
My Experience
Every week, I get a strong sense of camaraderie and connection, especially in the early-morning 7 a.m. classes. We all walk in tired and ready to work hard in class. A big reason I show up is that trainer Bojan and the members in class really brighten my day.
What I tell people is that you should just try the gym. Just try it, no matter your current fitness level, and you are going to love it. It is also a great place to meet like-minded, healthy, and motivated people.
On the beach, it can be hard to find good people, but this is a place with real people and real results. My body is toned and I have been able to stay fit here.
People at the gym hold me accountable and inspire me to be my best. The results do not just show inside the gym; they show the moment I step outside. I am able to live a healthy, happy life consistently.
Thanks South Beach Boxing, love you guys!
