Classes & Training

Boxing, Muay Thai and Dutch kickboxing; BodyFit group classes; Junior Warriors for kids; private personal training; strength and conditioning; athletic development; rehab and prehab; weight loss and meal plans; senior fitness; the Project 1X fight team; and online coaching.

BodyFit and Junior Warriors classes are 1 hour. Boxing & Muay Thai sessions run 1 to 2 hours depending on the time slot, and Project 1X sessions are 2 hours.
