Prime Time Boxing

I love this place! If you are looking for a real good work out the kind where u are sore for days! This is your place! Jose is excellent trainer!

Returned two weeks ago after a year layoff… Trainers and facility are great! Looking forward to continuing.

Been back for three camps now after a long LOOOONG break, and I’m glad to be back. Feels like coming back home. 3 camps = 16 lbs shredded. I can say that I «worked out» while I was away, but I really wasn’t. This is hands down the best workout you can do, and you get to hit something (sometimes someone)…and it’s OK!
45 – 50 minutes of the most intense boxing training, and it starts with the jump rope as a «warm up». You’ll definitely get a big appreciation for what boxers go through. This is serious boxing training… not the Tae Bo workout in your DVD. If you’re not addicted to the workout, then good luck finding a better workout. That treadmill is just another warm-​up exercise.
Give it a shot. What are you waiting for?

Love these guys! I’ve been boxing here for over a year, so it I’d say it’s about time to give my review. :) I got into Prime Time on a whim, just to see if boxing is something I could do. And I can truly say, it’s the best workout ever! The energy and intensity really gets you going and the trainers are awesome motivators. I had to leave due to busy-​ness as work, but ended up coming back! Great sense of camaraderie with the other people in your group, because you’re all sweating and in pain together. :) It put me in the best shape of my life and I had such a great time doing it.
Also, it is very intense, but everyone goes at their own pace; we have people of all ages and strength levels in each class. Definitely worth trying out!

I’ve been boxing on and off for about 6 years
Whatever you are looking for if its weight loss or to get better at boxing this is definitely one of the better boxing gyms that I have been to in the Sacramento area.

Wow; I called in with an interest in boxing. All I asked was to come in and check out the facility, meet who I would be working with. Whoever called me back was completely disrespectful, he made me feel like an idiot. And when I asked to come in to see what it was like he said «what do you expect to be in a boxing gym» I have no interest in EVER coming to primetime boxing. He makes you feel like your just a paycheck, not a student. My response to his question wasn’t to just see the facility but to judge the environment. And his response was «why would you call when we are closed»; i didn’t need to come in right then and there and told him all he had to say was when to tell me a good time to come in. And After that he just told me to find another gym.

I’ve been here about a half dozen times now and feel like I’ve experienced PTB enough to write a fair review.
I bought a Groupon for PTB last summer and waited until a week before it expired to actually redeem it. The signup process was easy, although the guys up front will do a hard sell to get you to buy the gear. Just expect it and move on. The Groupon is actually a really good deal for the number of classes you get and they do give small a discount to Grouponers for the gear.
On a side note: You never know what you’re gonna get with a Groupon. My expectations are usually low for service, because, c’mon, it is a Groupon. But these guys really impressed me with the sign up process and were very welcoming to a new member.
The first session is a learning session and it’s a separate class from the regulars. The trainers will take you through the stance and different types of punches.
After that you can join any of the regular classes, they have several morning and evening classes all throughout the week. So far all my class sizes have been small, from 1 – 4 people.
Warmups consist of jumping rope and then practicing punches without gloves. Then onto the heavy bag for most of the class. Between hitting the bag, you may do some quick exercises to mix it up and give the arms a rest, like jogging around the gym or doing body weight squats.
We occasionally do the speed bag, and I’m pretty terrible at it sad to say.
The workouts end with a LOT of focus on core and abs. The instructors all mix it up from class to class. Cool down is usually 5 minutes of more jumping rope.
I’ve been very impressed with all the instructors I’ve met so far: Joey, Adrian and Marina. They each have a little different style but they all move the same: like people who know what they’re doing when it comes to boxing!

What a joke! My friend and I bought a Groupon so we could try this place out — the Roseville location (for a great deal of $ 25) only to find out that we had to spend an extra $ 60 to even try a class (this was not mentioned anywhere — not even in the fine print). $ 60 is what it would cost us to purchase gloves, wrap and a jump rope from Prime Time Boxing. We asked if they had equipment to borrow (which would make sense for a trial class), and we were told no and that we needed to purchase these items to participate. To save some money, we purchased gloves from Ebay and the other items from a local sporting good store only to be turned away by Prime Time Boxing because they claimed our gloves were not up to their standards and we were not permitted to box with them there. Are you serious? We left appalled at the customer service and the lack of willingness to work with us. We completely understood needing to buy this equipment after the trial period was over if we signed up for the classes, but to spend that amount of money to «try» something makes no sense! Good thing Groupon is so easy to work with! We spoke to them about the situation and they refunded our money… no questions asked! Thank you Groupon!

Took a chance on this with one of their generous Groupons, as I have always been interested in boxing, but never had the guts to just do it.
Let me say, upon entering I was a little nervous, but the staff at each location I have been to so far has been PHENOMENAL! Whether you are looking to go pro, or just there to have a great workout, the staff always treats you with respect and often remembers your name the next time you come.
They offer «camps» which are monthly based, and there are a variety of different options on how you pay. It’s a little pricey, but to be honest, it’s one of the best workouts I’ve ever had and totally worth it. They have morning classes and evening classes along with teen classes (for those of you with kids), and also a strength class and sparring/​skills class.
One thing that really sets the classes apart from anything I’ve ever done is the trainers! Angelo, Marina, Nick and Adrian are all awesome. They push you very hard and don’t want to see you fail. I’ve thought since the first time attending in February that it’s the best you can get in a group setting with more of a personal trainer feel. They don’t treat you like just another face in the sea of sweat, they really will get on you if your form is off or if you look like you are slowing down.
Since starting in mid-​February I’ve already noticed considerable changes in my body. I’ve lost 6 pounds and feel like I have some good muscle growth.
The only downside for me, is that I can’t get enough! (Especially on the weekends. No weekend classes, but they do a 2^nd Saturday one).

Great health is something I’m willing to invest in.
Prime Time is a bigger investment compared to a 24hr fitness gym, but it’s one that has paid off for me for a long time. I’ve seen many people take a break to try other places, but most come back because they couldn’t find anything that produced the same results. It completely changed my body, my energy level and my confidence. As much as the results I see in myself and fellow members, I really like all the friends I’ve made over the three years I’ve been there. I signed up to train for a triathlon not for a social network, but when you are being pushed to your limits it’s very nice to do it in the company of people you can laugh with and be encouraged by. When you’re not there, you’re missed.
The trainers rotate between gyms but they seem to remember each client and know just how to push every individual according to what they know they can do. The trainers also offer excellent advice on nutrition and how to eat for an effective workout and long-​term results.
There are many women at this gym, and a few of us who spar, which is fun. The sparring is very controlled and friendly; no out of control egos allowed, the supervising trainer won’t allow it. The men at the gym are cool too. I mention that because the atmosphere of the gym attracts nice, professional people which makes me feel a lot more comfortable with the people I’m swapping sweat with!
I just competed in my second tournament there, which is held twice annually. They will also train those who want to take boxing to a higher level. Whatever your goals, and most members are just there for the best workout of their lives, this gym can accommodate you and the friends you make there will likely be lifelong ones.
Also, it’s worth noting that they’re not just about the $$. Nothing is worse than a company whose friendliness is relative to your ability to fork over your dough. Prime Time Boxing recently completed a nationwide Knocking Out Obesity Tour, visiting schools in cities with high obesity levels to teach the kids there how to eat right and exercise to feel good. There are several interviews with local TV stations that you can YouTube to learn more about their commitment to spreading the message of good health.
