Meraki Box

Fantastic experience: A gem in the heart of Rapid! I had one lesson while visiting and Ryan was a wealth of information. I worked on my footwork and he killed me with conditioning (which was exactly what I wanted). I wish I was closer to make this my home gym, but alas I live out of town.

Negative experience: First impressions are lasting impressions. The owner was unfriendly and provided incorrect information to me. My child did a drop in session which the coaches were great. But the interaction with the actual owner wasn't. I asked about his drop in classes and he told me they aren't doing them for a few weeks. Which is a lie as I found the flier that said it was from 6-7. Not 5-6 which was the children's time. He was standoff and acted like he put off when I gave him my money. Then got up to walk away without any Thank you or customer service. I can't put my finger on why his demeanor was that way but it's OK. I will keep my review up because I'm one who relies on reviews too. I also let everyone know our experience in different places all the time. I understand others have great feedback but sometimes racism does exist. I don't like to use that either but the coaches demeanor was something to think about. Which is unfortunate because my child enjoyed it.

Fantastic experience: Our kiddo LOVES working with Ryan! He’s gaining confidence and skills in a positive atmosphere. Thank you Meraki Box!

Fantastic experience: I have been with Meraki Box for 10 months now and it has become an important part of my life living in Rapid City. I have been to many gyms in my life and Meraki is easily one of the best I have been to. Meraki really stands out in three ways: 1. The coaching - Ryan is a fantastic coach who constantly inspires those who attend his classes. Ryan is highly motivating and takes the time to get to know his boxers on a personal level. He and the other coaches have a deep understanding of boxing which makes their coaching more effective when it comes to technique. 2. Conditioning - The level of conditioning you go through at this gym is very high. Your level of cardiovascular endurance will be pushed and you will improve in this aspect immensely. The workout plans during each class have contributed greatly to my conditioning and have made me some of the most conditioned I've been in my life. 3. Family aspect - It is clear from the first class you attend that those who go to Meraki Box treat each other with respect, kindness, and are willing to look out for each other. This is something that Ryan puts a lot of emphasis on, and it's a great thing to have for newcomers and experienced boxers alike. I can't recommend this gym enough. Thank you Ryan and thank you Meraki box!

Fantastic experience: Thanks Ryan.

Fantastic experience: The place to be if you want to get in shape or get in the ring. Coach Ryan is the best!

Fantastic experience: I joined Meraki Box six months ago and could not be happier with my experience, and everything about the gym. The coaches are absolutely amazing and deserve all the attention in the world. From Ryan’s wealth of knowledge, experience, and absolutely extraordinary attitude, to Andrew’s intense workouts that challenge you to be better, to Chad’s open-mindedness and desire to help; they are always willing to help push you to be so much better than you were. They provide personal attention and truly care about helping each member improve their skills, and make everyone feel like they’re part of the Meraki Box Family. What sets Meraki Box apart from other gyms is their consideration for all skill levels. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced boxer, the coaches will work with you to ensure you are getting the most out of your training. They create a welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable and supported, taking the time to coach newer members personally during classes, and shamelessly teasing the older members. The experienced members in turn are always willing to provide guidance and support, making Meraki Box a great place to train and connect with like-minded individuals. Every interaction is there to help you grow and improve, and fall in love with the process. Overall, Meraki Box is a top-notch boxing gym that provides excellent coaching, personal attention, a welcoming atmosphere, and great community. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their boxing skills or looking for a supportive family to grow with.

Fantastic experience: Best. Boxing. Coach. Ever. This is a very progressive and welcoming environment! I'm a single young female and I feel so safe training here, it's a great place to get in shape or just to learn how to fight or protect yourself.

Fantastic experience: Great place to become a part of something special in a group or one-on-one forums, learn boxing or refine already acquired skills, gain core and overall physical strength, get motivated, share your story or that of others, and gain an extended family. Coach Ryan and all the coaches genuinely care about helping each member to be their best. We appreciate Meraki Box and thank them for all that they do for the physical, mental, and spiritual health of their family and community.

Fantastic experience: Great place to get in shape and most important to build confidence in yourself. Ryan and Kristi make you feel comfortable and welcome. I participate in the noon ladies' box class. It is a half-hour of a great workout. If you want to have fun and help yourself give them a try.

Fantastic experience: These guys are amazing! My daughter is in the boxing camp and she absolutely loves it. Coach is amazing. His ability to incorporate life skills into his training is a class above.

Fantastic experience: Coach Ryan is truly an amazing person. I have never meet someone so positive and supportive in my entire life. I have been to a couple of the camps and WOW is all I can say. This little gym is by far the best. It's not your run of the mill $10 a month gym. It is like working out with a family everyone is super supportive. They really want you to exceed on your journey. All of the coaches are great. If you are looking for a life change you will find it at meraki box. I am simply blown away by the passion Ryan and the assistant coaches have.

Fantastic experience: I had been working out at a "normal" gym for a while, but wanted to change things up. I have never done any boxing before and this was a great place to start! It is a very welcoming, positive, team atmosphere. All of the coaches are extremely knowledgeable and will help no matter what your skill level. The work outs are hard and intense, but not unreasonable. Ryan is a great motivator and has a genuine desire to help people.
