This place was amazing it's def legit . For me being able to meet and shake the hand of the owner and 4 time world champion Dino Newville it was definitely an experience from the vintage boxing posters to Dino's history it's alot to take in and I can't think of a better place I'd rather learn to box at!

Outstanding organization. Dino and Sara are wonderful people that care so much about helping their community. Wonderful youth programs that teach kids strong morals and good values. They have grand plans in the works that will benefit at-risk youth. I strongly support Blues and encourage Grand Rapids to do the same. Thanks for all that you do, Dino!

Blue's Gym is West Michigan's Home to World Champions! The staff are highly dedicated personal and professional boxing and martial arts experts. The trainers work with youth and adults, males and females to reach their fitness and self defense goals. I am continually impressed with the renovations being made and the growing support of businesses and professionals that contribute to the Gym including world famous Champions and Trainers like Floyd Mayweather, Sr.
Dino Newville, World Champion Kickboxer is outstanding and works God's miracles with our youth. "Fill the gyms and not our prisons!" I love this goal! - Dr. José A. Flores, Educator, Publisher, Businessman

A very family oriented gym. I've visited many martial arts gyms across the country and the people at Blue's Gym are of the highest quality of character, open minded, friendly and blessed people.
Their cause to help under privileged kids and dedication to giving them direction and purpose with based on core Christian values is no less than impressive.
They are a nonprofit and rely on community volunteers and donations from local businesses in the community. Dino has a big heart that matches the rest of the instructors who volunteer and dedicate their time in sharing the many benefits of martial sports to the next generations.

I'm a small business owner committed to helping the community at large. When approached by Blues Gym back in February, I was willing to donate $100 to their cause. They wanted more to get me to their tiered level of exposure. I couldn't afford it at the time, so I decided to wait it out. The gentleman who called on my business to solicit the donation was very professional and friendly at the time. He understood that a new business wasn't able to donate much.
He mentioned that his wife sells credit card processing and asked me if I'd be interested in talking about that. Sure: I'm always willing to explore saving money. I asked for a quote on their rates. He wouldn't give me any numbers. He wanted to send his wife over to go over the company's financials first.
No, thanks. I smell a rat.
Dino then calls the shop. He starts yelling at me at the top of his lungs, calling me all kinds of names. I agreed with the names he was calling me, mostly because they're all true. In the case of helping the community, I'm all ears. When I don't trust an organization, I close right down.
Fast forward to today. The solicitor comes back in. He mentions that he lost his son to a drug overdose. I sympathized, yet I didn't want to give a donation to an organization that had broken my trust already, let alone one whose representatives call on the phone and act completely unprofessionally.
He then states, "Negative reviews online can be detrimental to a company's future, especially one who doesn't care about kids in the community."
I reiterated my distrust.
As a company, we are more than willing to help legitimate causes for the protection and advancement of society, whether it's for medical or social advancement. We make annual donations to Helen DeVos, as well as many other legitimate organizations we trust to use the money for its intended purpose.
On a personal level, my niece had been diagnosed with Leukemia at one year old. My efforts are focused to stop the horrible cancer epidemic in the world, not to donate to an organization who comes in to my place of business with a strongarm threat of detrimental online activity.
Negative online reviews mean a lot to the community. You're absolutely right.
