Dont let its unpretentious attitude fool you. The variety of classes ( i.e. boxing, Muay Thai, kick-boxing, cross-training, etc.) gives you a good workout mix throughout the week. However, the teachers are what takes this place to the next level. The place is very unique because it has an element of education and commitment to improvement that goes beyond what you would get from a fitness class at a normal gym. Bottomline: This is a no non-sense, kick ass or go home type of joint. If intense workouts are your thing, I highly recommended. Where they can improve: Their earliest class starts at 9 AM and they close at 3 PM on Saturday and Sunday. To all my 9 to 5ers that like to get your workout before work, I recommend you start a petition for a 7am class. Its worth the fight. Bonus: The owner, Jolie Glassman, runs an anti-bullying and self-defense program for teenagers. I think thats pretty awesome. We need more programs like these in our community.

I absolutely love South Beach Boxing. What makes this gym so amazing is the owner Jolie and the trainers. They are all so passionate about their craft and teaching it to the members, it clearly shows. Jolie, Lucky, Romeo, Bojan, Ervin, all truly amazing. What I loved was that every single class was different. A different style, different technique, different muscles used. This was a breath of fresh air after doing the same exercises over and over in a regular gym for so many years. In fact, I cancelled my other "regular gym" membership because I was seeing so many results from boxing. In just the first 3 months, I had lost 12 pounds of fat, and in fact had to actually increase my calories to keep up with my workouts. Do yourself and your health a huge favor, join the gym and get after it. You will truly change your life.

This gym is very, very good. I have trained at several boxing gyms around FL and honestly this is one ranks at the top. The trainers are true pros and they take their time to teach you the true technique of boxing (footwork, stance, coordination). You also get an intense workout! I took classes with the same trainer (Romeo), and he truly knows his stuff!! He takes his time to make sure you box right!! I have heard that the other trainers are very good as well. The management is really friendly and Jolie at the main desk is the best (you will realize as soon as you talk to her)! You will walk out of that gym knowing true boxing technique and in much better shape. I recommend it. Paolo

For a South Beach gym or Miami gym, SFB is the standard. Weight loss wise, it is easy to lose 5 lbs a week. At first, I was losing 2-3 lbs a class in water-weight until I slimmed down. The instructors are personable, professional, and friendly. They are not aerobics instructors, but real fighters with real training techniques. The atmosphere is great to work out in because of the Miami style, with celebrity appearances, famous boxers, and loud music. If you want to put on an ipod and not talk to anyone, this isnt the place for you. If you really want to work out and push yourself, and get results even if you havent found them elsewhere, this is your gym.

Just on Holiday from Darlington in the UK and guess what... the gym was over the road from my Hotel. Excellent facilities great bunch of people all very willing to help plenty of equipment, One of the best gyms I have been in. you are very lucky in Miami to have such a place to train. Its what I call a proper gym not for fairies, If your serious about training then this is the place to go in Miami Florida, I will be back. To top my holiday off I actually met the Man Muhammad Ali at the re-opening of 5th Street boxing Gym. 23rd Sept 2010. still 5th street is not a patch on South Florida Boxing. Thanks to you all, Carl (The Hit Man) Hall

I have been a member for almost a year and I absolutely love the gym! I was a member in traditional gyms most of my life, but as a new year’s resolution I decided to start Muay Thai/kickboxing and boxing. I wanted to be more lean, active, and flexible. Now I am so much more strong and fit. Everyone is friendly and encouraging. I love the boxing and Muay Thai classes. The instructors are awesome and offer personal training lessons. My instructor Lucky is the best. For the newbies in Muay Thai, I recommend you start with the more soft bags to get your legs used to kicking the bags. Trust me, your legs will thank me later :)

If youre looking for the best gym in town, look no further. Awesome trainers, hardcore workouts that are as much fun as they are challenging. After a stressful day at work, theres no better medicine than to punch a bag to music that has you feeling like you can take on the world. To say I feel like a badass after I leave, is an incredible understatement. Owner Jolie is awesome and inspiring and has created a family with South Beach Boxing. If you want to get in the best shape in your life and have a blast while doing it, go to this gym!

When you first enter the South Beach Boxing gym, you might get a little intimidated by looking at the pictures of all the pros that have trained there (when you havent trained in years and youre skinny as a noodle) but the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Every class is different and theres no way youll get bored. Its also a family friendly environment, they have kids classes and theres even a cute little dog hanging around sometimes (whom Ive been told is the boss of the gym ;) ). 100% recommended!

This place is unreal. I have been training for a few years in bodybuilding and elite athletic development and nothing compares to the classes that happen here. This is where I come when i need to get my butt kicked and rapid fat shredding results. Not to mention that the staff here treat you like family and are super supportive and knowledgeable. Its like walking into a small town or episode of cheers ... a rarity in sobe

Ten years ago I became a member of South Beach Boxing. Hands down, this is the best gym in all of South Beach. The intensity of the classes, encouragement from the trainers, and energy of this place motivates transformation both physically and mentally. The staff is wonderful and my most amazing friendships have evolved from being here. To me, South Beach Boxing is not just a gym, it has become family. April Love

I wish they allowed me to sign up on a cancel anytime monthly plan, I dislike signing annual plans (its such an old school way of business but I guess so is boxing). The place looked great, however Im just not going to pay over $100 per month for a boxing gym when I already have my regular gym membership elsewhere. Let me know if you guys ever change, thanks
