The workouts are really intense, and Javi will push you. But he is patient and very approachable. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you get something wrong or need some clarity. Nobody gets left behind. Over the years, he's built an environment that is friendly and welcoming. Javi wants you to learn and will give it his heart and soul in the process. This type of commitment, coupled with a friendly atmosphere, is a rarity in gyms nowadays.

Javi himself, and not an assistant, will personally show you proper techniques, from your basic punches and kicks to advanced combos and movement. Everything is practical and makes sense.

I am forever thankful for the time I spent in Javi's gym. This is a top-notch facility where you will learn from a real, bonafide professional. Don't bother with the other fly-by-night, 30-minute workout gyms you see pop up around town, or the vanity gyms that social media addicts often use as filler for their IG posts. There's a reason this establishment has been around for years. Come see for yourself.

Javier is an outstanding teacher in all phases of striking, especially in his emphasis on combinations, countering, movement, etc. Javier knows how to work with anyone from the raw beginner to the most advanced. Both group classes and private sessions are fun and focused. A simple, straightforward training gym that you'll want to come back to again and again.

I was a girl who just swag my arms in the beginning, to a girl that can jab, cross and hook with different movements after 5 months. The coach, Javier, is very knowledgeable. The most important thing is he knows how to teach, and he is sooooo patient to explain when students ask questions. He never snaps or gets mad at you.

The students are very cool, friendly and welcoming. You see people with different races, ages and occupations. Everyone helps each other, they often help and tell me some tips and movements when I do wrong. We often tease and joke with each other. Lol. There are so many regular students that you see all the time. ( Now I'm one of the regular students.)

I love going there. It is a great exercise that my whole body gets sore with a good sweat, while I learn how to self defend.

Super place to learn boxing techniques or just get in shape. Been going for three weeks now and I could not be more happier with the culture and classes.

Javier is a wonderful coach. Extremely patient with his students, he can break down technical techniques for even the beginner. He is open to working with anyone from the beginner to aspiring pro fighters. Anyone looking to learn boxing should definitely take some classes from Javier.
