Sanctuary Training Center

Sometime ago I was searching for an activity to add to my exisiting gym routines. Thinking that boxing would be a good addition, I went to Sanctuary. I met with Aries, one of the coaches, and we discussed my issues (typical ailments afflicting a 70-year-old body with lots of mileage on it). He developed the perfect plan designed to alleviate my physical problems and made recommendations as to how to improve my gym routines. Things are now steadily improving. Kudos to Aries, who possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of training techniques, physiology and sports medicine.

I worked out for years at a chain kickboxing gym, and while the workout was good, I never felt like I could actually defend myself if I ever found myself in that kind of situation. Until now. Aires and Rob have improved my technique, my health, and more than anything my ability to defend myself. Sanctuary is perfectly named :)

Aires and Rob are incredible instructors! Each class they make it for anyone at any level can jump in and not feel completely out of place. The classes are filled with people who are encouraging and happy to welcome new people!

Hands down, this is the best place to train!! The knowledge that Aires and Rob possess is unmatched, and they will take your training to the next level! The classes are challenging, the technique provided is top notch, and the gym is very clean! I highly recommend for people of all ages/skill level!

I’ve been training with Coach Robbie and Coach Aries for years. There’s an undercurrent of self defense behind every bag class, every strength class. Burn calories, yes! Get stronger, double yes! Challenge yourself, oh hell yes! Great workouts, welcoming community, it’s become my home away from home. I joined them and never looked back.
