Q. Does Rocky's Boxing provide MMA training?

A. The goal here isn't only to develop world-class boxers. We are committed to providing the tools and support to help any athlete succeed at a top level, regardless of his or her chosen sport, be it boxing, mma, football, basketball, baseball, or general fitness. Being a successful athlete requires good physical conditioning, balance, coordination, toughness, sharp reflexes, discipline, and confidence, all of which (and more) can be developed through our excellent training programs. In addition, mixed martial artists are becoming increasingly aware that having exceptional striking skills and footwork will carry one a long way in the sport. Rocky's provides a valuable service to those seeking to improve such skills.

Q. How often can members use the gym?

A. Of course! The gym is open to anyone eight years old and up.

Q. I haven't exercised in years; will the training be too challenging for me?

Q. Can boxing training help me lose weight?
A. Boxing training can help you get in the best shape of your life, it's as simple as that.
