The Jym

How am I the first person to review this place?! Crazy!
I bought a Groupon to try out 10 boxing bootcamp classes. I was really nervous to go by myself and a total newbie to bootcamp, boxing, etc. but decided to bite the bullet and just do it.
I’M SO HAPPY I DID!
Jerome is the trainer/​owner and he very obviously knows his stuff. He switches up the classes daily so you’re not working the same body parts in a row and it’s always different so it’s all about muscle confusion. One of the (really awesome) frequenters mentioned to me yesterday that she’s ALWAYS sore in different places from the workouts here which is weird because she’s been working out since she was a kid and is ridiculously active… but this is what really beats her up. In a good way, of course. *I’d say that’s a pretty great reason to go, right there.
There’s a boxing ring, a grip of bags, tons of wraps and gloves, tractor tires and a plethora of other stuff Jerome uses to get you feelin’ it. I feel pretty awesome after class. Like Rocky. Hahah.
If you’re worried about being intimidated or looking like a fool don’t be. Everyone is stupid nice and Jerome is not a drill sergeant. He makes you WANT to do everything with very particular form. He doesn’t make it easy. but amazingly, he does it through being a great trainer and teaching you instead of yelling. Imagine that.
P.s, they also sell Herbalife shakes, good to know :)

I love this place. for a mom and professional like myself, they have great hours and it is in an ideal place in Allen — central to everything. the workout is great — and Jerome, who has a personal training background, knows how to positively impact your workout performance, even when you are having a low-​energy day. I highly recommend working out here if you want results and the type of positive fun atmosphere. (Melissa, his wife and a trainer herself, is a hoot — and loves to make us workout with laughter!) Love them!
