Great music selection today and good mix up of workout rep’s.
Very good communication good
Always a great class with Dwight. Best way to start the day is with the 6AM breakfast club #realsimple #realeasy
Mickey is awesome. His classes are always enjoyable and challenging. Definitely one of the best workouts!
Anthony is always inviting, encouraging, and uplifting. He carves a contagious consistency in your core that creates commitment and control. He is a teacher & a coach, and I’m thankful to a part of the sport he loves.
My first workout with coach Anthony was intense but enjoyable. There was a good buildup in intensity and instructions from coach Anthony were easy to follow. Although I am new to boxing the intimidation factor is low which makes this full body workout fun, while learning a new sport. I would highly recommend anyone that is considering boxing as a sport to give Bare Bones Boxing a try!
As usual, Anthony put on a great class!
Great workout! Steve’s classes are always fun to attend to. Steve goes above and beyond to keep the class engaged and coaches both boxing and kickboxing.
Its always great Keep up the good work
Anthony not only kept me motivated, but he gave me pointers on how to improve my punches. Burning over 800 calories in one hour - couldn’t have asked for a better workout!
I think he does a great job
Excellent instructor. Dwight's class will challenge you but he is very motivating which helps you through. I highly recommend this class!
It was a fun and hard class, excellent
Great class! Mickey is great! Always motivating even when I don’t feel like working out.
Mickey ran a fantastic class. Great instructions, great energy, great music!
“Great coach, truly brings out the best in every session!”
Awesome best yet we going to win definitely
Steve was excellent as usual,he really knows how to make you challenge yourself. Very knowledgeable, inspiring and really knows how to make the class want to come back and do it again!! All the coaches are great and the people you workout with are fun to be with during the workout. When your done you know you just did something great for yourself!!
Antonio killed it 🔥
Very encouraging, we had fun!
It was a double coach class! It was super challenging but they were encouraging and entertaining!
Totally awesome man! Anthony took some direct time with me to make sure I got the combos right and was very enthusiastic and encouraging. A true professional in every aspect. Psyched for next class 💪
I’m not sure who The coach was today at the 12 o’clock session, but he was great. He made the class hard but enjoyable.
Dwight class is more than just a fitness class. It truly builds mental fortitude…that never give up mindset. Been a fan of my guys classes for a min. Love every moment
Loved the session, it felt good even though I was a little exhausted near the end it was worth it.
Anthony’s class was a lot of fun! I liked that he took time to go through the combos with everyone and there was lots of laughter at the end of class. I was able to work hard, but survive my first class with the structure and pacing. Thanks, Anthony!
The coach was extremely motivating. He just makes you reach another level. Afterward , you feel like a million bucks.
Great class. Pushed hard as always. Whipping me into shape one class at a time!
Amazing 10/10, immediately signed up for the monthly membership. Thanks for the great first class!
Great first class! Intense but perfect intense! Looking forward to many more
2 coaches today but they both were amazing and very helpful I will definitely be coming back!
Class today was awesome. I almost passed out like 3 times. Steve is absolutely great. He kicked my ass. Now I need a nap.
Great Workout!
I love Dwight’s class. Today in particular was great for its focus on combinations and executing them for extended periods of time. I love coming to Dwight’s class on Saturday morning.
Enthusiastic, spurring everyone on, takes time to make sure everyone knows what to do, and works individually with each person at least once in the session, which is great! Challenging workout, and varied exercises and combos to keep it interesting.
I have been attending this gym for about 13 years and I’ve noticed it is like nothing other! Not only does Dwight give you the hardest workout you’ll ever have but his classes amongst others give you the strength to get through anything, building you to be mentally strong and physically strong. As long as BBB is around, I’ll be there!
She’s very energetic
Anthony’s class was excellent. His energy is unmatched and he keeps the class moving at a super fast pace. He’s always eager to share his boxing experience with us through countless combos and cardio work. Getting to do 1-on-1 pad work with him during class is also a highlight and makes me work even harder. His classes always have a positive vibe and you leave feeling like a champ! 🥊
Today was my first class coach Mickey held a really good session left the gym very tired
Steve, aka Bad Guy, does a great job with the Rock Steady Boxing warriors. I like the way he mixes up the workout. He’s motivational and caring. We’ll defeat Parkinson’s one punch at a time. Thanks Steve for another great Work out.
Very interactive class that pushes you to new physical levels. Dwight makes class feel like a 1:1 session in the way he walks around and observes everyone. He gives great motivational pep talks like a coach would on the sideline and his music playlist is the best!
Great class and energy from Anthony tonight! 💪
The hour long cardio-boxing classes makes the membership worth the investment!
I had Antonio last night on the 11th at 515. I always love his class! Great blend of cardio, strength and coordination training with lessons on how to box. I always learn something new from his class! The gym as a whole is awesome! Great classes, awesome equipment, and a great atmosphere all around! Everyone is great and really makes it feel like a family when you come back in to train!
Yesterday was my first visit to Rock Steady. I was welcomed by one of the owners and got a good overview of what to expect. Next, I was introduced to the coach who explained how the session would work. The entire session was conducted very well and I plan on visiting again soon.
Good motivator
Dwight is intense, but I appreciate it because he pushes me beyond what I thought were my limits! It feels tough in the moment, but so worth it once you see the growth within yourself. Thanks Dwight!
Dwight is a great instructor, always motivating us during class!
There’s no coach like Dwight.
Dwight’s classes are always awesome - Perfect mix of cardio, strength and technique. Go to his classes and you will get physically and mentally strong.
Dwight is the best.
Great class as always!
Excellent! Tough and challenging, but easy to follow and modify when needed.
Love Dwight! He always keeps me motivated. The structure of his classes helps me mentally prepare for the always challenging hour ahead.
Dwight is great, he pushes you past limits consistently. He doesn’t allow you to limit yourself which is great because getting fit is mainly mental. Keep the intensity
The class was awesome! Dwight is fantastic, the music is on point, and the combinations make for a great workout. Highly recommend!
Dwight is a fantastic instructor. He really gets you psyched to work the best you can. I leave feeling a little stronger. Thank you.
Dwight always knows how to keep the class motivated and working hard! Any given day!
I enjoy Steve's enthusiasm and his lesson plan.
Always a tough but rewarding class. Love it! Great job Dwight!!
The workout is always challenging, innovative and rewarding. 10/10 always recommend.
Lauren was great! Her classes are a great mix of challenging and fun, and I like that she structures them around music. Her playlist is also great! I like that I can always hear her instructions, she repeats them several times, and demonstrates them several times as well. Her comment at the end always resonates with me “thank your body for allowing you to do this today.”
Great job and a very positive motivating leader. Steven really makes the workout helpful and enjoyable.
