Negative experience: 0⭐️s. Not the best place if you want to be shamed for your mental health and be expected to box when you have never picked up a pair of boxing gloves before… went with my partner and was split up from him, yet other partners where fine to stay together. Thanks to the ignorant man that ran that class, my confidence now The daughter was apologetic and kind though, she clearly cares a lot in her classes and wanted me to try them out. But not after that experience, won’t be going back.
