I’m wrapping up my second full month of the boxing classes at Enso MMA and I am highly satisfied with their program! I have worked with five different instructors at different times of the day. Each one is professional, attentive, and motivational. They take the time to give you individual feedback, often subtle things that improve technique, speed and power. They keep the class moving along by changing the combinations of hitting the bag or moving into different drills, including speed bag work, working in the ring, station drills, using weights, working with a partner and of course, hitting the heavy bags. Class typically winds down with some ab and core work as well as shoulder work. From my observation, I’ve noticed that regardless of your level of boxing experience, these instructors work at your level and will help you improve. I like that they offer consistency in their schedules with some morning classes, noon classes, and evening classes.
The facility is divided into three areas, the ring, the bags along the wall and the MMA, wrestling matt. Often during the boxing class there is also a jiu-jitsu or MMA wrestling taking place. I like this energy as everyone in the gym is working hard to improve. And getting excellent instruction & feedback along the way from the instructors. They offer clean bathrooms and a shower, a filtered water system and clean towels. Some exercise equipment to warm up and some dumbbells. I also got a 50% discount from Key to Fitness, which is two doors down, and membership enables me to use their heavyweight gym equipment for more resistant training. Both facilities and equipment are excellent.
Owners Enzo and Jessica, take pride in their program, are engaged in the training and know the members by name. As advertised on their website, they make an effort to build a strong martial arts community. I also like the diversity of different age, ethnic and gender groups. Although I’m older than many, I feel excepted and welcomed. And I’ve received excellent tips from several of the other members, as well as some inspiration and motivation. If you’re a beginner, make sure you let them know when you come in, and if needed, they will provide wraps and gloves as well as excellent instruction on how to get started. If you are experienced, come on in and get engaged, you’ll be glad you did. I’m loving the physical and mental challenge of boxing. I’m feeling stronger faster and more confident in my skills with each class I take!
