East Coast Boxing & Performance Center

I was a member from November 2013-January 2015. At first I really loved this gym! There was a variety of trainers who used different exercises in between rounds on the heavy bags. There was also a lot of class times that began at 5am and last throughout the day with the last one being 8pm. From November until July 2014 it was a great experience as I lost weight and got in fantastic shape. After that a lot of things started getting weird. High turnover with staff started, then some trainers started missing class times, and some were sleeping at the gym unbeknownst to the owners. Around the same time, the owners started shilling It Works, an MLM scheme, on social media and during workouts. A promised MMA cage never happened either. The trainers that were left were ok. However, "Coach J", was, without any doubt in my mind, the worst trainer I've ever seen in any type of gym anywhere I've been in North Carolina. He thought VERY highly of himself. He would constantly give his sales pitch for person training DURING CLASS TIMES. Several times the noon class really didn't get started for 10 minutes because he was going through the exact same pitch. It got so bad that myself and a few other migrated to another part of bags to start work. Eventually I actively avoided him. He was arrogant and once he did get started, had the most boring workout of anyone there. All because he wanted people to hire him for personal training. It's not one star anymore because there were redeeming qualities.

My favorite part of this club is the non-judgmental environment. A place for all walks of life, ages and fitness levels come to burn calories and relieve frustrations in a fun way that does not "feel" like exercise.... but let me tell you will get your sweat on!

It’s an excellent workout with a non judgemental environment, love it.

I own the place. Its super awesome 😁lol.
