When I started at Bishop's I had been battling a stretch of injuries and lack of motivation. I also enrolled my 13 year old son and wife. In a short period of time, with the help of the trainers and instructors, my son's athleticism has increased ten fold. The instructors provide the right level of motivation and coaching to ease in as a beginner but also advance as you progress. As for me, in three months of joining, I have overcome the motivation and injury issues and have increased mobility while losing over 30 pounds. If you are looking to get fit, while enjoying various combat sports, Bishop

The gym was spectacular other than the cleanliness (or a lack thereof) in the locker-room. I called to come into the gym and agreed upon a time with one of your instructors but upon my entering the premises, the instructor wasn't there, having been stood up and disenfranchised I begun to exit. A fine African American gentleman who is a high school football instructor and a boxing coach made the facilitation of my entry and there I trained for a few hours. The facilities are impeccable! The old school boxing propaganda and newspaper cut outs are motivational and the surround sound is simply superb

I have been part of many gyms for a long time and this is the one that I feel gave me the most attention to detail and understanding of what we are doing, Its hard to find somewhere with athletes working harder or people being pushed towards their fitness goals. Its much more than just boxing, they also offer phenomenal Muay Thai , Jiu jitsu, and gym equipment. Check out the website. #Bishops

Bishops training is the best! As a female master boxer there are not too many places on the south shore for women to spar. They were great giving me all the ring time and training I wanted. Everyone was very knowledgeable, welcoming and helpful. Cant wait to get back!!

Eddie and his team are Top notch Trainers that keep me motivated to work hard and challenge myself. The Gym is convenient for someone like me with my crazy work hours and daily schedule changing all the time. I i need to workout at midnight or a holiday its available. It has all the equipment I need and plenty more if I want to try some things outside my normal workout. Plenty of ring space and all the different bags are a great way to mix things up. Music is easy to play and mirrors are everywhere... Well worth every dollar and then some.My membership allows me 24 hour access and then there are

Been a member now for almost 5 years and love going there. Eddie and the rest of the staff are great. Great spot for both adults and children. Good variety of classes for all ages and everyone ,(members included) makes you feel welcomed. The atmosphere during the evening classes is awesome. The 24/7 access to the gym is a huge benefit for people with all different schedules.
