Working out isn’t always cardio and weights, sometimes it takes punching and kicking.

For some, hitting a bag can really clear the mind and help work thru any mental roadblocks they may be having. Classes range from traditional boxing to kickboxing / may thai, boot camp / cross training, anti-bullying / kids classes. Yoga is also offered at the studio as well as traditional free weights and gym area. What is especially cool about South Beach Boxing is they offer classes all day long.

I've had some great workouts here especially when doing a class with friends. It gets really competitive.
