Franklin Street Boxing Club in Chicago, Illinois

“I was hesitant to start going to a boxing gym, but it was really convenient at the time. Ended up loving the workouts, the trainers and the friendly and respectful vibes of the place. Shaun has been excellent in working one on one. The gym is no longer convenient for me to attend, but I still come weekly to see her as I get more than just a great workout.”

“As a member of Franklin Street Boxing for over a year and a half, I can easily say it is the top boxing gym experience in the city.
