As a middle-aged guy with some weight to lose who is desiring a shape other than round, I have tried many gyms. Prior to going to Gent's I purchased a Groupon for another boxing gym within two blocks. The other facility was cramped and impersonal. I really enjoyed the boxing as it sure beats a treadmill and has much fewer injuries than cross-fit, so I Googled additional boxing gyms (as you will not easily find Gents on a major street). I came across Gents and am sold. You WILL NOT find another gym with the camaraderie and amenities as this gym. I felt welcomed the first day and most of the people there know me by name. The trainers at Gents are seriously invested in your success and desire true results! You will not have any of the silly "drill sergeant" antics that some of the other "gyms" have. Instead, you will find a very caring environment with ultimate technique and safety in mind.
The classes consist of a full-body workout involving punching bags, circuit training, cardio and resistance training. The best part is that no two classes are the same. They mix it up to keep you from becoming bored. You will not get a better workout in one hour. The times of the classes are convenient. The class sizes range from 2-20, with an average size of about 8 which is very manageable. I have started incorporating weight training into my routine and they have a fully stocked weight training area comparable to most good gyms.
While you would expect a boxing gym to be mostly hard core, intimidating and full of meatheads. Gents is certainly not that type of gym. The members have all types of physiques and fitness levels. I brought my wife and kids with me the second session and they all love it and are now members! I have been at Gents for 4 months and it still motivates me to go and "enjoy" my workout. Additionally, there are no contracts and the membership fee is 50% lower than others I looked into. Do yourself a favor and check out Gents if you are looking for a upscale gym experience that is enjoyable and physically beneficial. After my first month, I lost 3% body fat and increased my muscle mass by 9 pounds. My doctor was impressed as am I.
