"Since moving to Tampa I have been going to both one-on-one & group sessions at Manhattan . I have truly grown a love for boxing - the community is welcoming, the workouts are amazing, and the small class sizes make it easy to get personal attention when you are still learning. I HIGHLY recommend!"
Kristin D.
"I highly recommend this gym for anyone looking to try out boxing and get a great workout! The owners, Michelle and Alex, are extremely helpful in teaching you every step of the way, from wrapping your hands to learning the combos, and creating a welcoming/empowering environment. I felt confident and had fun! Their classes are well structured and the private sessions are amazing! You get a great workout and learn something new every time!."

“I've been anticipating the opening of this gym ever since I saw it was coming soon. An ACTUAL BOXING GYM!!! My son has wanted to be a boxer ever since he could talk and now, in south Tampa, it's actually happening. I took him for his very first class Saturday and it was absolutely awesome!! The owners/coaches are absolutely amazing. I can't wait for my son to start this journey and step into his passion. Thank you both again. This is exactly what we've been looking for and waiting on..”
