Took part in UWCB Birmingham and trained at Rigs leading up to the event. As soon as I stepped into that environment almost immediately I could feel passion and dedication from not only the trainers, but the members too.
Sam, the owner, is a credit to the profession of Boxing and also works tirelessly to make sure you have a great experience but also pushes you to be the best possible version of you you can be. Regardless of how many people he has to deal with on a day to day basis he will always make time to grow a personal relationship with you and thats something that I believe is extremely
