LATEST REVIEW: By, Daniel Ambord a month ago - 5 STARS Upon first setting foot in the Warzone Boxing Club of Rancho Cucamonga, one is immediately struck by the impression that one is in a place wholly dedicated to the sweet science. The gym itself is dominated by a boxing ring in which club members can be seen sparring or engaging in drills, while a wide assortment of bags, weights, treadmills, and the like are employed by boxers of all ages and experience levels seeking to develop their skills. It is pleasantly surprising, then, that the palpable intensity of the place energizes, rather than excludes: Staff and club members alike are friendly, knowledgeable, and encouraging, and their enthusiasm for boxing is contagious from the very moment one steps in the door. Warzone offers classes, private instruction (by appointment), and the use of the aforementioned gym facilities (which are spacious, well lit, and amply stocked with all the equipment a boxer might need for training). I myself take the amateur (non-competitive) mens boxing/conditioning classes and can honestly say that they are the best part of my week. An excellent and well-considered combination of intense conditioning, training, and application, these courses are just the thing for burning off stress, toning up, and learning the ins and outs of one of the most compelling sports around. Mike Franco, the instructor, brings his own experience in the ring to these courses, offering the sorts of insights into the sport that can only come from the lived experience of competition. Of course, those looking for a more intense program of study have a number of courses to choose from, and courses for women and children are also available. While I cannot directly vouch for the quality of these courses, I can unreservedly say that the obvious enthusiasm of their participants is as eloquent a recommendation as one could desire. Which brings me to my final point: You need not take my word for any of this. You need only stop in, try a class, talk to staff and club members, and, I have every confidence, you will see the clubs merits for yourself.
