At one time 70% of our members were women! Boxing training is a full-body, cardio-vascular workout. It's FUN! It's aerobic! It's anaerobic! It's the ONLY WAY to get into FIGHTING SHAPE!

We don't patronize our women members with a token "boxercize" or "boxaerobic" class taught by an aerobics instructor.  All our trainers are certified by USA Boxing. You get a full-on Boxing work-out that includes jump-rope, foot-drills, shadowboxing, focus-pads, heavy-bag, speed-bag, reaction drills, endurance drills, the works!

It's a class that will KNOCK YOU OUT!

Tiffiny John said she wanted to spend more time with her daughter and thought they could study martial arts together. John, 35, recently went to check out a dojo on Main Street in Crystal Lake with Jackie Bafaro, her 16-year-old daughter.

But the karate place was closed. Next-door, however, was a boxing gym with a neon sign that said "open." So they signed up at The School of Hard Knocks Boxing Academy in Crystal Lake and they've been exercising there regularly about three times a week.
