Great workout

by DanielleFranco

The workout at any of the LA Boxing classes is amazing - you will feel it the next day. The staff is encouraging - from the first day through the last minutes of the workout. They make you feel like you can do it - helping you to reach your indiviualized goals - even as a beginner.

• Pros: workout and encouraging staff
• Cons: none

Haven't been a member for too long but...

by unclewayne

Although the classes have been very good and the instructors seem fairly competent the use of high pressure sales techniques for pushing both gear and personal training is a little off putting. However, having "fight nights" does encourage a little extra effort both personally and financially. I like the gym... the month to month contract isn't strictly a bad deal, the fight nights are enticing, the trainers are good. However, hounding folks for personal training time and purchasing gear is off-putting. Overall its been an ok experience. I'm still curious to see how it pans out.

• Pros: Classes are very intense
• Cons: The "trainers" are a little too high pressure with the sales

DO NOT JOIN THIS CLUB!! I BEG YOU!!

Do not join this club. Here is why..

1) Long term contracts that you can't get out of. (Any real gym won't have a contract) If a gym puts you in a contract it means they don't feel strongly enough about there program. They have to lock you in to keep your money. You should just become a long term member because you like the club not because your in a contract.

2) Bad classes with loud horrible music that never changes.

3) You could be a member for 10 years or 10 days and you will learn the same thing over and over and over. You will neve be shown new things. It's fun for a few weeks but it gets real boring.

4) Way too much money for what you get. If you want to learn more and progress you will have to pay for personal sessions.

5) 80% of your results comes from nutrition. They offer no nutritional counseling and the instructors know nothing about nutrition.

6) If you do too much cardio you WILL burn muscle. You can't take an hor long class like that woithout burning muscle unless you have the proper nutrition in your body before you take the class but like I said they cant help with nutrition.

7) Anyone can be an instructor even though they say you have to be a pro fighter. Hahaha most of there instructors used to be members.

LA BOXING IS DESIGNED TO PAINT A GREAT PICTURE, LOCK YOU INTO A CONTRACT AND HOPE YOU NEVER COME. LOOK AT THIS WAY, THEY ONLY HAVE SO MANY BAGS FOR THE CLASSES, WHAT HAPPENS IF PEOPLE ALL REALLY GO. OF COURSE THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO COME! THEY JUST WANT THE CONTRACT!

IF THEY SAY YOU HAVE 30 DAYS TO CANCEL ITS A LIE. THEY WILL NOT LET YOU UNLESS YOU HAVE TAKEN AT LEAST 20 CLASSES IN THE FIRST MONTH!!
