Shraims Academy

Fantastic experience: I started coming to the gym at 11 years old. I was having a hard time finding fun ways to work out and had difficulty keeping up with my sports, so my parents sent me to Coach Ahmed to try out boxing. As a kid, I never enjoyed a sport/getting the best workout of my life more. Coach Ahmed and the class of young kids were extremely friendly and approachable and always more than willing to help, while always pushing me to my limits. I had found new love for a sport and began to get in shape. Sadly, i broke my wrist snowboarding about a year or two after starting and had to hold off on boxing for a few months but never came around to coming back. 5 years later at 18 years old, I've been back for 5 months now and i couldn't be happier! I train with both the adults and young adults and have found that both classes are equally as friendly and equally as motivating as the kids class 5 years ago. Coach Ahmed and Coach Amy are the best boxing coaches out there with great emphasis on technique and fitness. If you are looking for a new sport or just a great workout, come on down to Shraim's Boxing and try out the gym (or send your son or daughter). The best part about trying it out is that the first class is free!

Fantastic experience: Our son has been training with Coach Ahmed at Shraims for over a year now. He was having a difficult time finding an athletic activity that he enjoyed and we decided to try boxing as opposed to the usual choices. Over the last year we have watched our son blossom. The Coach’s dedication to tuning both his mind and body have yielded wonderful results. He is happier, healthier, but the best part is how boxing has helped his self-esteem and confidence. I strongly recommend boxing with Coach Ahmed as an alternative to the traditional sports, as I believe that it will have very positive lasting effects on your child.

Fantastic experience: My 2 Sons love it here! The owner & coaches are all really nice and great at what they do. My children always look forward to coming here. They throw some cool holiday parties for their members & family. We have tried many facilities to help our boys boost their confidence. This place makes the kids feel as if they belong to a community of active & respect peers. The older ones make my boys feel like they fit in. Awesome, clean place.

Fantastic experience: I had neither boxing experience nor youth when I first stepped into Shraim’s Academy. Many of the other adults were half my age; even the oldest ones were over ten years younger than me. Yet the instant camaraderie and encouragement of the other students coupled with Coach Ahmed’s expert guidance won me over immediately. Within six months I lost 20 pounds. Moreover, I learned and honed the fundamentals of real boxing. This is a place of learning and development. If you already have training and want to spar, they can accommodate. If you’re a beginner—young or old—you can learn to box safely at your own pace. A young man in our class won the 2022 Golden Gloves under Coach Ahmed’s tutelage. Others in our class have no plans to compete in the ring but have nonetheless won personal victories as they vastly improved their footwork, punching, defensive capabilities and overall fitness. (As for me, I knocked out high blood pressure and excess weight all while learning an awesome skill.) The training is intense but not stressful. There is zero sales pressure. “If it starts to not be fun or right for you, it is ok to stop,” Coach Ahmed once told me. Fortunately, it remains both fun and constructive. People want to be there—many members have been with Coach Ahmed for years. If you’re thinking about it, try it. You will be welcome and will have an uncommon opportunity to learn and improve while having fun.

Fantastic experience: If you are interested in boxing then Shraims Academy is the place. Cool facility with lots of equipment. Coach Chris works with my son and does a great job as do all the coaches. My son looks forward to going every week.

Fantastic experience: Shraim’s Academy is a boxing gym for everyone. Our 6 and 8 year olds have developed their focus, speed and strength, as well as their self confidence. They are praised for their growth and encouraged to push themselves to learn new skills. As adults, my husband and I enjoy buddy lessons each week. It has allowed us to workout together and have some laughs along the way. Coach Amy and Coach Ahmed are AMAZING and structure their private lessons to help you meet your personal goals. We definitely recommend Shraim’s!!!

Fantastic experience: This is an updated review after 8 years of extended use! You know those reviews where someone adds an update like…bought this toaster last year, and after 6 months of daily use, it’s still our goto appliance…well…as important as our Breville toaster is to us (not kidding, they’re awesome), this is like that. BUT ITS ABOUT HELPING YOUR KID. Yes, Schraim’s is a great gym for kids (and adults) looking to get physically fit or just a bit healthier, but I wanted to share how this somewhat innocent choice of gyms led to a far more encompassing value, and helped us do what as parents is, well just plain hard. Helping your child be the best version of themselves. Like many Parents, finding the right outside influence to help your child develop is not an easy task. Whether it’s the right physical activity, hobby, or something more difficult like an emotional outlet, it can quickly become a daunting task. At least that’s how my wife and I experienced it at the time (8 years ago) when looking for our 13-year-old son. What attracted us to Schraim’s was Coach Ahmed’s simplistic approach to training the body, but also how he gently peppered important life lessons through conversation and, well just being another ear to listen. The idea of preparing our son to box both physically and mentally, without having to necessarily spar, if you didn’t want to sounded cool. But it also made sense. Heck, everyone knows Rocky. Imagine if your kid could have all that…without a face that looks like cauliflower and a sheer inability to enunciate. As Coach Ahmed explained, he was focused on developing our son’s body and spirit, and not preparing our son for a brawl. Although secretly, as a dad, I wanted him to be ready for whatever life throws at him…including a punch to the nose. Spoiler alert…don’t mess with my son . Our son started once week in a group class, and before long was begging us for private sessions. Coach got him hooked, as did all his fantastic staff; like Coach Amy, another great person. But as Coach promised, it was more than just a work-out at Schraim’s. Coach Ahmed encourages everyone to engage, just like life! and he created a great environment that gives the kids a platform, not just a ring. They would talk about life, music, business, history, politics, news…you name it (coach is well read, and not just in amazing shape). And never in a way that would cross a boundary or party line. Just good old fashioned human engagement. Did you ever just want your kid to learn how to talk. Maybe it’s my age, but texting, isn’t a conversation... Over the years, our son has continued to blossom, and become that best version of himself. Coach delivered on his promise, to develop both his body and his mind. He helped us position things a child can’t always hear from a parent. Which hardened some of the softer skills one needs to do the rest, and that really helped us both. LET’S FACE IT, PARENTING IS REALLY HARD. They don’t tell you that in the brochure. Our son has never sparred, but I know he could jump in the ring anytime because he is a confident, strong, healthy young man. He is now in his last year of college getting a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Prior to finding Schraim’s we lovingly referred to him as our little couch potato. Now he can lift the couch over his head, while explaining the various forces at play. What more could a parent ask for! He doesn’t get to train as often as he would like these days because he’s away at school during semesters, but he takes any chance he can to see Coach and have a quick workout…but really, we know it’s for the conversation. Guess what. We ended up with the best darn toaster ever made…blows away the Breville. So if you ever need help making a well-formed kid, bring em’ to Schraim’s.

Fantastic experience: My 19year old came home from college for the summer. He had no boxing experience before college and only a couple of months training with his college boxing team. After three months at Shraim's Academy, he's ready to compete for a spot on his college competitive team. The fundamentals of footwork, head movement, proper striking, combinations and hard work are stressed at this gym. Coach Shraim has not only produced a Gold Gloves champion, but has created an environment for many more to succeed. A first-class gym and first-class coach.

Fantastic experience: Clean and versatile facility. Coach Chris is fantastic at connecting with and coaching our differently-abled guys. He’s patient and kind with instruction but also pushes them to do their best. We love boxing here!

Fantastic experience: the staff is so good. my coach is Cris. he is very patient and responsible to help me train on boxing. in the whole process of my classes of boxing, i have a very nice experience of learning boxing because of Cris's professional guide. also the equipment and place are awesome.

Fantastic experience: The best decision I made for myself was to train with Coach Ahmed. He holds you accountable and provides individualized feedback so you can continually improve. I've gone from zero (could barely run half a mile) to having the energy, stamina, and confidence to actually look forward to my daily run, or whatever the next challenge may be. The gym is clean and truly judgement free. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Shraims is an excellent place to learn new skills, meet new people, and get in shape. The coaches are great, and the gym has lots of equipment that can be used. The "culture" of the gym is quite fine as well. Every member is friendly and willing to help you learn. A typical day at Shraims is full of fun and challenges.

Fantastic experience: Shraims academy is a great place and a great workout. I have never left not tired, Shriams teaches great technique and makes sure the basics of boxing are understood and not forgotten. Your taught to be a hard working and dedicated fighter. Overall shraims is a great place to learn the importance of confidence and skills in boxing

Fantastic experience: This academy is AMAZING! All the coaches are all really supportive and empowering. It's such a great environment; everyone is welcoming and helps each other out. Boxing here has been great for not only my physical strength by also my mental strength and confidence. I highly recomend joining this gym!

Fantastic experience: After hearing my sister rave about boxing, it got me curious about the sport. I came across Shraim's Academy based on a google search with great reviews. Because of my profession, I needed the flexibility so I went with private lessons with coach Ahmed. He's delivered more than what I signed up for. I don't know how he did it, but he was able to motivate someone who's never been able to commit to an exercise routine to do a mile a day runs! Boxing aside, he's made a positive impact in my life in prioritizing fitness and health. Thanks coach!

Fantastic experience: Getting into boxing might seem intimidating and difficult, but I never felt that way here. Coaches and even experienced members are always willing to help. I always felt comfortable, even as a newbie. Strongly recommend for beginners and experienced fighters alike.

Fantastic experience: Coach Amy is exceptional and works extremely well with our son. Significantly improved balance, strength and stamina, while providing positive reinforcement and encouragement. Keeps students egaged and interested, while maintaining the discipline of the sport. Great environment, facilities and equipment. Highly recommend Shraims Academy.

Fantastic experience: When I joined Shraims back in October 2020 I wasn't in the best spot, I was always angry and I needed a way to get my frustration out. Boxing was the way, it's one of the best things I've done, I learned how to fight and channel my anger and frustration. I've learned life lessons from coach and met a lot of cool people along the way. I highly recommend this place, I walk out of this place with a smile every class just because I learned something. I 100% recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, if you want to get into boxing it’s a great place to go. Coach Ahmed truly cares and if you put in the time and work it will go a long way. You can just box casually too, if you just want a place to meet some great people and get in shape. They have private training sessions and group classes all age levels, and great coach’s throughout the gym. There’s also opportunities to spar every class and a bunch of different bags to work on your craft. If you are looking for a place to compete or just want to get into martial arts boxing is great and the gym is awesome.

Fantastic experience: Shraim’s academy is such a wonderful gym for young children up to adults. The more experienced members help you hone your skills and take time out of their training to help you improve. No one at the gym judges and are very supportive whether it be with speed bag, jump roping, or footwork. The coaches are incredible! They truly want the best for you and have that faith in you disciplining you and giving that extra push! As a newbie, I find that this gym is doing an amazing job at teaching me!

Fantastic experience: When I joined Shraims Academy in April of 2021, I was completely out of shape in mind, body and spirit. I couldn't run for more than 30 seconds let alone do a sit up or even punch the heavy bag for more than a minute. I was deep in grief from the loss of my husband, didn't care much about anything and what little that was left of "me", I knew I needed to do something. Fast forward to October 2021. I have lost 30 pounds, I just ran a 5K and I am gaining confidence in my boxing skills. Do I plan to box in a ring as a sport, no. But I do intend to continue my journey at Shraims Academy for my body, mind, and spirit. I can't thank Coach Ahmed for bringing me out of my downward spiral of self destruction. I am a different person than when I walked into the gym in April. Thank you Coach Ahmed. See you next week!

Fantastic experience: Coach Shraim and Coach Amy do a fantastic job of using boxing as a way to teach life skills. My son has gone to Shraim's Academy for nearly 3 years and our experience has been nothing short of excellent. He gets the right balance of boxing skills development, conditioning and the invaluable life lesson of how to be a good student and team member. Both Coaches are welcoming but firm, technically expert but fun. That balance, in my experience is very very rare and really makes me feel good about sending my son the Shraim's.

Fantastic experience: Joining Shraim’s Academy and training with Coach Amy has been one of the best decisions that I’ve ever made for myself. As someone who was never into sports or even that athletic at all, when I first joined Shraim’s I was terrified that it would be too much for me or that I wouldn’t be able to do the workouts. Instead when I walked through the door I was greeted by Coach Amy and Coach Ahmed who were both genuinely excited to have me there. Coach Amy spent time talking to me about what I could expect from our time together and calmed all my anxieties. We started out small, building up until I could do some crazy stuff I never thought was possible. The atmosphere of the gym is warm and welcoming which is pretty refreshing considering other gyms tend to be stiff and awkward. Everyone supports each other at Shraim’s - when you join, you join a community of people who cheer at your successes and help you get through killer workouts when you feel like you can’t do it at all. Plus, boxing is incredibly fun and empowering! I’ve never in my life felt as strong as I do since joining. If you want to get strong and push yourself to become a better you - you’ve gotta join Shraim’s. Boxing has made me more confident in myself, and has taught me that I can do anything I want if I work hard at it. Thank you, Coach Amy and Coach Ahmed! You guys rock!

Fantastic experience: I am someone who has wanted to do boxing for quite some time. However, I never tried because I was inhibited by my insecurities. I also struggle with social anxiety. As a result, I worried that I would be judged for my lack of experience. After coming home from university, I decided that I should start being more proactive about my physical activity. I read reviews on a variety of boxing gyms in my area but Shraims was the one that stood out the most. When I came to the first lesson, I was pleasantly surprised by how warm the staff was. Although I was really quiet and nervous, they worked to make sure that I was comfortable in the environment. Especially my coach, Chris, really pushed me to get out of my shell. He's a very exuberant person so I found it quite easy to get comfortable around him. I am eternally grateful for my coach who always listened when I was having a tough time. As a result, Shraims Academy has become such a safe space for me. Due to me becoming more confident around my coach, I think my abilities skyrocketed. My only regret is that I didn’t start training at Shraims earlier. If you’re someone like me who is overthinking about whether you should start boxing, I guarantee you that this is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: When I first thought about boxing I believed it was just gonna be another thing I did to get a good workout in. However it took only one private lesson at Shraim’s boxing academy with Kevin and Coach Ahmed for me to fall in love with boxing. Being a colligate athlete myself I’ve had my fare share of personal trainers and coaches. However Coach Ahmed quickly became one of my favorite coaches I’ve ever worked with. Boxing has become a passion of mine over the past 6 months. It’s something I look forward to every week and I’m greatful for every minute I get to spend with Coach Ahmed. He does a great job of pushing you to work hard, while also making boxing extremely fun. I’m challenged every class to get better and push my limits. When I first started boxing I could hardly jump rope, had no idea how to hit pads, and not a clue how to use the speed bag. I would now consider myself proficient in all those areas in just 6 months. Coach Ahmed will push you to reach your goals and will make you a better person. I would recommend Shraim’s academy to any boxer or anyone who wants to get into boxing. This isn’t your average shadow boxing waste of money class, this is for someone who wants to become proficient in boxing and combat sports.

Fantastic experience: Shraims academy is the best in the business! It’s not easy to find a boxing gym that is able to accommodate for different skill levels. Ahmed is a master in this profession and understands how to build technique from scratch. If you are looking to train the correct way, you have come to the right place. Trainor’s at Shraims academy understand boxing in a way most gyms don’t. Offers a friendly environment and a large facility equipped with all the equipment one looking to train would need.

Fantastic experience: Shraims Academy is for people of all skill levels and all ages - offering training in boxing, muay thai, judo, and jiu jitsu. I had no experience when I started and after a few months I felt like I had been doing boxing and muay thai for years. Coach is a great teacher and helps you learn the fundamentals so you can perfect the techniques. The coaches are very friendly and highly trained. The gym is very spacious and has great equipment. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: My son began training for the very first time in December 2020. Boxing at Shraims Academy has not only improved his confidence but it has overall ability from mind and body. Coach Ahmed is extremely patient and understanding. His ability to reach and understand the youth today is unmeasurable. We are lucky to have found him and Shraims Academy. So, if you’re looking to improve your mindset and confidence then give Shraims Academy a try. Boxing is just not about being physical it’s a lifestyle. Thank you Coach Ahmed to helping my son reach goals (personal ones) he didn’t think was possible. Thank you Manny Dominguez

Fantastic experience: I am not someone to review products or places, but feel compelled to do so. My son is a hockey player and decided one day on a whim he wanted to try boxing. Having no knowledge of the sport, we did some research on local gyms and decided to try Shraims. BEST.DECISION.EVER! I thought my son would get stronger and get in shape with the addition of boxing, but Coach Ahmed has given him so much more. He is a teacher, friend, mentor and all around wonderful man. He has given my son confidence, strength (mental and physical) and a voice. Coach Ahmed not only works on how to make the body physically in shape with exercise, but how to eat, and how to treat your body and mind outside the gym. Coach teaches respect. Respect of people, respect of property and of one's self. My younger son has started with coach as well and the change in him is as wonderful. Being inspired by watching my boys, I have started training with one of the other trainers at the gym, Amy (all of them are great!) Amy will work with you to tailor a plan to achieve the goals you are looking to achieve without feeling uncomfortable about yourself or the shape, or not shape you may be in ;) . The gym is the perfect size and the standards of cleanliness exceed any I have seen in public gyms. There are many different classes offered from groups to private lessons. I smile watching all the small kids coming running into the gym with pure joy on their faces getting ready for their group lessons. Look no more, you have found the place to the best version of you that you can be!

Fantastic experience: We absolutely love Shraims! I had always wanted to put my boys in boxing to build their self confidence and of course their stamina and overall well-being. After looking for a little bit we finally found Shraims. My older son started going to classes and soon after his brother joined. Coach Ahmed is a blessing to have as a coach and mentor for the boys. We had almost seen an instant change in them (strength and behavior). Discipline was also an added bonus! ( not gonna lie, I've used coach Ahmed's a couple of time to put them in check) When they opened up after the covid lock down, we felt safe bringing them back when they told us about the extra precautionary measures they'll be taking. Overall an amazing place to be from A-Z.

Fantastic experience: My Boys have been coming here for a year now and we love it! All the coaches are great. We appreciate all the measures they took to keep the kids safe and healthy. We can't wait to add our third child to the Shraims family ????

Fantastic experience: Although I have only been boxing at Shraim's for about 6 months, there are many things I've learned. Alongside learning self defense, I have learned that hard work pays off. In the beginning, I was nervous, as I had never previously taken any boxing classes. I soon realized that there was no need to be nervous since the coaches and boxers made me feel welcomed. After a month or two of boxing, I noticed that I became more confident and that all my hours of training was worth it. Boxing at Shraim's is unlike any experience I ever had. The coaches here are always pushing the students to do better and always find a new way to motivate them. I recommend boxing at Shraim's Academy because it is a great environment to be in and is a great way to stay in shape.

Fantastic experience: I started Shraims Academy more then a year ago and I am so glad and happy with my self that I got to put my self in. I’ve always wanted to learn how to fight because of where I wanted to be in the future. But there is way more than just learning to fight if you’re going to enter Shraims. First off the people there, extremely nice and friendly. Everyone is your friend there, no such thing as hate and no matter where you are in boxing experience, everyone gives you amazing advice. You have people who helps you spot your flaws in boxing, but you also have the people who pushes you beyond your limits to become the best of yourself. The coaches at shraims, they are very considerate and nice and I mean it, all money spent there is WORTH it. They are amazing at teaching you the ways of boxing, and they get you in shape no matter what. My first day, I was going to pass out, and I couldn’t hit the punching bag hard. But eventually it became like a normal thing for my body to do. When I mean it’ll get you in shape, it’ll really get you in the best shape possible. Everything about that gym is amazing, the equipment, the people, the trainers. And the head Coach. Because without him, I definitely wouldn’t be who i am today, and I am grateful for that. There is no one like him, he really pushes you beyond your imagination, your limits. So if you’re thinking of joining, I really say do it. You’re not going to regret it.

Fantastic experience: I have been taking the young adults boxing class since this summer, and I definitely recommend people to join. I tried many sports, that I didn't fully enjoy. I rather enjoyed doing other hobbies I liked in the creative realm, but I always yearned to do a sport, something physical to do outside from comfort zone. For a last reach of hope, I tried out boxing. Boxing was appealing to me since I wanted to learn how to defend myself when needed, and to get in shape. I was nervous to take my first class, but everyone there was very helpful and friendly. From my classmates and the coaches, everyone was very welcoming. I have learnt so much already in my first classes, and my time here; and I hope to continue doing boxing here.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Shraim's Academy for about the last three and a half years. The conditioning class is definitely beneficial for the full-body workout it provides, and it’s been a great complement to my running routine. It's the type of workout you probably wouldn't do on your own -- jump rope, box jumps, agility ladder, tire flips, etc., as well as boxing. There's no need to worry about getting bored either, because the workout changes constantly. Don't be concerned if you're not in the best shape. The classes work no matter what your fitness level is, and the instructors are really helpful, especially with new members. Working out at Shraim's is a nice break from my daily routine, and the good people, good conversation, and good music are enough to keep you engaged and excited to come back.

Fantastic experience: Nothing but high praise for Shraim's Academy. I've been going to boxing classes and more recently Muay Thai for close to 8 months, and it has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life. Coach Ahmed is a caring, inspiring, and joyful man to be around. He expects you to bring your best and wants to see each and every student reach their potential. The gym environment is friendly and welcoming, without egos and pretense. People there take the martial arts seriously and proper technique is a heavy focal point. I'm happy to be a part of this awesome community!

Fantastic experience: Been coming to Shraim’s Academy for about a month now and I must say that I’m truly impressed with this boxing club! They have a really great coaching staff, a great program, and they have a really great facility with great equipment! I’ve always been a street fighter and wrestler, so this program was great for me to sharp my boxing skills, and improve on my conditioning. The program is also great for autistic children. In fact, my 9-year old son gets 1:1 training with Coach Amy and she’s amazing! Not only is she a great coach, but she’s a great teacher with great patience, and she also has a very great way of communicating to the kids, which they follow her lead all the time. If I could give 10 stars here I would, these guys are the best! Oh, and I can’t forget about coach Ahmed, he’s a beast! Don’t let the older face fool you, he’s with the smoke and definitely bout that life!

Fantastic experience: I started boxing here with zero experience about six months ago - from day one everyone from Coach Ahmed to the other boxers have been nothing but helpful. Class size is small so there's a good amount of individual training with staff to work on your strong and weak points. I'm a big fan of the focus on fundamentals and practical, realistic skills and techniques. I could not recommend Shraim's more to anyone interested in boxing - from people brand new to boxing like me or experienced fighters, this is a great place to train.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about my experience at Shraim's Academy. I came with very little boxing experience, and after a year of training with Coach Ahmed I've grown into a capable and strong fighter. Coach has the unique ability to connect with his fighters, turning sessions into fun but still extremely challenging workouts that focus on proper technique. I've seen benefits from my boxing training carry over into my other sports (horseback riding, softball, basketball, etc.). Coach's Ahmed and Amy foster a welcoming and friendly environment where both new and experience boxers can learn and hone their skills. If you are looking for a hard workout, in a great environment, with wonderful coaches then I highly recommend your try Shraim's Academy.

Fantastic experience: Shraim's Academy is a great gym to get a challenging workout and learn new skills. I have been taking private boxing classes with Coach Ahmed for more than half a year and he is the best teacher I could have asked for. I was very stressed out when I first started going to boxing classes but Coach Ahmed was extremely friendly and encouraging which helped me become more relaxed. He always has a way to make my mood feel better whilst providing a great workout. The workouts in the gym are challenging and involve a variety of different exercises that make it clear that the Coach has your best interests in mind. During my workouts I jump rope, flip tires, develop boxing skills, and much more. Coach Ahmed is extremely knowledge about aspects of boxing such as stance, footwork, punching, etc. and explains things very clearly which helps me understand what he is trying to teach. He does not hesitate to point out the mistakes that I make and demonstrates the correct technique, which helps me understand what I am doing wrong and what I can do to improve. Through Coach Ahmed's efforts, I have become not only more athletic but also more relaxed. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants to have a great workout and meet cool people who will motivate you to try your best.

Fantastic experience: My son KC has been coming to Shraim's for over a year now after switching from a previous boxing gym and they have been magnificent. Amy really helped with his footwork and his abilities have developed ever more. I've also joined myself now to get in shape and the members are all super helpful as well as the instructors.

Fantastic experience: have Been coming to Shraims Academy going on 3 months now and I’m hooked can honestly say one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. I came with zero boxing experience and not very athletic to begin with but the coaches know exactly how to get you started on the right path and have seen consistent improvement in my game as well as just becoming more athletic and conditioned. I see Coach Ahmed for one on one private training because for me it’s easiest to learn that way and he is the best mentor I could ask for. He pinpoints specifically things I am doing wrong whether it’s jump rope,punches,footwork or any technic in general and explains why I’m doing it that way as opposed to the correct way and gives tips and demonstrates the correct way, which helps tremendously the way they break down everything. Not only is he a mentor but a friend as coach Amy, both are wonderful personable people who make you feel welcome and part of the Shraims Academy family. Truly look forward to going there multiple times a week and they are very flexible with booking appointments if I try and get extra time in with the coaches. I can’t say enough good things about Shraims Academy if my body and career would allow me I would be there each day bettering myself. I am in the best physical and mental shape I have been in in a very long time and I owe it all to Coach Ahmed and Coach Amy as well as the assistants at Shraims Academy for assisting me and showing me how to unleash my inner beast!

Fantastic experience: I now look forward to working out! I started training with Ahmed and Amy 1 year ago and I look forward to the time I spend at the gym. Each session brings new and different challenges. Not like other programs that offer the same thing over and over again. I flip tires, jump rope and developed great boxing skills to name just a few of the many things offered. They help you be the best that you can be and they even play great music! I am so happy that I found Shraims!!

Fantastic experience: Shraims is a great gym, and you should go here. Coach Ahmed and Coach Amy are very attentive and will give you a great work out. If you are worried about your first day, don't be; they will only push you as far as you are willing to go. The environment is so great that you will really want to test your limits. I've been going for about 5 months now and I am in the best shape of my life. Boxing conditioning is tough, and is lower contact than the boxing classes which are very focused on technique and proper form. The regular boxers are friendly and very willing to help out newbies. So don't be afraid. If you are looking to get in fantastic shape and learn to box, come to Shraim's Academy!

Fantastic experience: Coach Ahmed and Amy hosted my daughters "Sweat 16" birthday party at the Shraims Academy. It was a huge success! There were 8 girls and 8 boys at various athletic levels and they customized a program based on ability as well as Alex's special requests. Everyone had so much fun learning boxing basics, climbing the rope, competing in the fire hose relay, trying the punching bags, sparing, self-defense moves, plus experiencing the MMA cage for the first time. I highly recommend having your child's (or your) birthday party here. The Academy is super clean and is equipped with state-of-the-art apparatus. I know my daughter and her friends had a blast because her group text was "exploding" the next day!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough how awesome Shraims Academy is. Over the last year, I went from never putting on a pair of boxing gloves before to being able to throw combos and do mit and bag work. I always considered myself athletic but with the help of the training from Shraims, I was able to complete my first triathalon this past summer! Coach Ahmed, Amy, and Adam are great trainers and are so knowledgeable about boxing and are great motivators to help you to push yourself past your comfort zone and work the hardest you can possibly work. I've gained so much confidence in myself and my abilities and I recommend this gym to literally anyone that wants to learn how to fight, wants to get into shape, wants a unique gym experience that no chain gym could ever offer you.

Fantastic experience: This academy is the best my children have been to. We have tried other schools in the past and they don't compare to Shraims Academy. The coaches are very knowledgeable, helpful and really motivate and push the children to preform at their fullest potential. My kids love it here! I've seen great results in my daughter due to the fitness class and my son takes jujitsu. The school is very clean with a lot of space and the prices are reasonable. In addition to that, the owner of the school is very nice and is always hand on. I would recommend this school to everyone.

Fantastic experience: My son has been coming to Shraims Academy for 4 months now, and he absolutely loves going. Initially, he was very reluctant to participate, partially due to fear, but after the very first class, he quickly changed his mind, and now looks forward to going to class twice a week. Coach Amy, and Coach Adam are extremely patient, and very effective with their methods. Safety is always number one in their eyes. My sons confidence has always been pretty high, but with this, he seems even more confident than before. The amount of exercise these children get in this class is perfect for their age group. Also, the skills they get with boxing translates to them in everyday life as well. I strongly recommend First Steps Boxing classes. Coach Ahmed, Coach Amy, and Coach Adam are all great at what they do.

Fantastic experience: I joined Shraim's Academy last June with very little experience in martial arts/boxing. I had been doing basic strength/cardio workouts, but ultimately my goal was to find something more engaging and to learn the fundamentals of boxing/martial arts. Coaches Ahmed, Amy, and Adam were very welcoming and there is a great culture in this gym. It's a family atmosphere. Shraim's Academy is very dynamic and can meet the needs of many different experience and martial arts interest levels. I was able to run a 15K in October for the first time and there is no doubt that my training at Shraim's gave me the stamina and confidence to complete this race. I've really enjoyed watching my boxing skills improve while increasing my strength and endurance.

Fantastic experience: Shraim's Academy is an awesome place to get a workout. I have been working with Coach Amy since early April and have enjoyed every session! Each workout is different and she tailors it to your personal skill level. I have also had the opportunity to work out with Coach Ahmed and the workouts were equally great. There is a great vibe at the gym. At first I was a little apprehensive about working out at a place with a younger clients, but everyone who works out at Shraim's is friendly and respectful of the others at the gym. If you want to get a kick-ass workout and forget about your day (I highly recommend spending time on the speed bag), try Shraim's.

Fantastic experience: I started taking boxing lessons recently because I wanted to learn the technique behind being able to effectively box. Ever since I started, I have gained more confidence, have been in better shape, and have learned(although just the basics) how to box. The coach is extremely nice and is easy to talk to(not the kind that wastes time talking), while also being super productive. They make sure to fix any flaws and give so much guidance that it would be impossible not to improve after going. I can confidently say that choosing to join Shraims Academy is one of the best decisions I have made in my life. I hope other people give it a try and find it as enjoyable an experience as I have.
