“I didn’t really have an intention of joining a gym again but after one class at Neon Boxing Academy, I realized I couldn’t not. The vibe is cool, the classes are well run, on schedule, the gym is clean and tidy and I never leave feeling like I didn’t work hard or learn something new. Great gym, for all levels – highly recommend anybody interested in learning boxing to give Neon Boxing Academy a try!”
