We came by chance as a last minute invite to Coach Tessa's Little Ledgends Saturday class. Not a clue what we were in for. We visited twice on bring-a-friend days. Our kid is shy, anxious and immediately they took her under their wing. Coach Tessa is a power house. She's based out of Massachusetts and trecks her way to the gym multiple times a week. She's versatile and adaptive. She works with the littlest of kiddos to the advanced long-termers. She's knowledgeable about her routines, programs, and educates as much as she demonstrates. I highly recommend her.The gym itself is slowly coming along. At first we were skeptic, the ring was well worn, and the door litterally flew of the hinges in the wind while we were there. Then, in pur two months here, it's been repainted, a new ring, and nee showers being installed as we speak. I think it's safe to say that the owner is invested.I do not judge a person based on thier reputation without knowing them. To be fair the only thing I knew about Jared before joining was that he hosts an amazing Thanksgiving Turkey/ Food drive benefitting many North Providence residents.As in any gym, language is to be desired. On any given day vulgarity is present, but then again, chit happens. I have sincerely and seriously noticed that the crew has been making a sustainable effort to be aware of thier language when the kids are present, and it's appreciated. If you're looking for a ballet class experience, you're in the wrong place. Your child will not learn a plie, but she'll learn dedication, consistency, build strength and learn how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Another aspect that many will hate on is the Prince himself: He's the shortest dude in the place and yet the only Bully. He's built like a brick house. He can't keep his mouth shut. His smile is consitantly crooked as is his tail end. When he sees a fresh face he is constantly drooling over them. Don't expect to leave with out a cold nose to the groin and a sloppy kiss. He goes by "El Chapo" and he is the most beautiful, sweetest "good boy" you've ever met. He basically owns the joint.Pricing of services and use of space is confusing to me. The cost of the kids programs is completely independent from the gym itself: so I can't really speak of the offerings. You should leave with this, don't judge if you haven't given it a chance. It's a great place to visit and you will definitely be welcomed.

This is a highly reputable gym and Mr. Tillinghast is truly a boxing legend. He is a wonderful coach and trainer to all ages, and truly cares about his community which is demonstrated by his numerous fundraisers for needy families and the time he donates to help any cause without hesitation. Great gym, great trainers, great place all around. Highly recommend!
