Highly recommend Cape Fear Boxing! I have been going since December and feel a huge difference from when I started! Everyone there is awesome and motivating! They want you to succeed and hold you to it. Also, classes go by really fast cause you are constantly moving to get the most out of it. Seriously an awesome gym!

This gym is personal and not at all your run-of-the-mill gym. Everyone is nice and helpful. Coach Rasheed is outstanding, as is Emilie. I LOVE that the workouts are 30 minutes (although intensive!) so if you decide to do one, you're still getting in a great workout and have plenty of time to do whatever else you need to do. If you choose, you could attend all the workouts offered in one day! There is support, encouragement, and accountability.
This is a GEM of a GYM! LOVE!

After an invite from a friend and trying my first class I decided to join the gym. The 30 minute sessions are exactly what I needed. With little to no experience working out a regular gym was pointless for me. The class is very motivating to get in a good workout. I enjoy the morning classes because it gives me a boost of energy for the remainder of the day.

I joined Cape Fear Boxing over a year ago and in that time lost over 20 pounds and over half of my body fat! This gym and program are incredible! The coaches and other members at the gym are truly amazing and so supportive! One of the best decisions I ever made was joining this gym!

I joined ladies boxing bootcamp almost a month ago to end the year strong and start the new year out right. Each month you get an action packed 30 minute workout as many times you are willing to show up. There are early morning and evening classes so it works great with my working mom schedule. All the coaches are motivating and willing to help you succeed. It doesn't matter where you are in your fitness journey because everyone is welcome and encouraged. I would highly recommend checking this place out!!

My daughter does the boot camp class here and loves it! While I was in town visiting on Monday I went to a class with her. It was AWESOME! Staff was super welcoming & so were the other class members! Really enjoyed the workout too!! Got a great workout done in just 30 minutes!

I tried boxing while in the US military. But, I have never been trained like I was trained in one day at Cape Fear Boxing. The training was top notch. What I'm saying is that they teach proper boxing technique and training for the body. I was trained at a great pace, motivated by the coaches and the other boxers. I must admit if I would have gotten this type training in the past I might have become a professional. Thanks! Cafe Fear Boxing.

The coach's positivism made the class very energetic even at 6:30 am. I found this very helpful for me to be excited for the class and they were encouraging. The workouts were well designed and the atmosphere was fun. I am happy with the results.

What an experience! My first time ever doing something like this was nothing short of awesome. I feel stronger and faster already after just one class. It was quick, fun and INTENSE! I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT cape fear boxing will help me achieve all of my fitness goals. The staff is friendly and the other ladies are awesome to work with as well. Looking forward to my next session! Thanks Cape Fear Boxing.

The class was amazing. I enjoyed being pushed out of my comfort zone. Everyone was so nice and everything was explained in detail. I will definitely be setting up a membership ASAP. Believe me you feel it the next day.

I went to the Ladies Boxing Boot Camp yesterday -- not knowing what to expect. I have never boxed before. And I LOVED IT !!! Coach Rasheed is great and really made me sweat!! It was a great work out and I am looking forward to going back! I recommend to anyone interested in boxing and a good workout!

I have never owned a gym membership before! After my first visit at Cape Fear Boxing, I knew that this was the place for me! The workouts are structured, intense, and only 30 minutes!! The style of the classes (boxing techniques), will surely give you that extra motivation to push yourself. At the end of even your first class, you are sure to feel like a champion!! Stop in, sign up, and enjoy the journey!

My name is Francesca (using my husband's account). I live out of town and came to the ladies boxing class last week with my friend who has a membership. It was the first time I had ever done boxing, but it was an absolutely amazing experience, and I had so much fun doing it! I already want to come back for another class! The next time I am in Wilmington I will definitely go to Cape Fear Boxing for another class! It was a great workout and also a lot of fun! I can't wait to come back!

It has been 2 days since I decided to sign up for the Adult Boxing class at 715PM and I am still slightly sore, but I feel great! I lift weights, run, and play sports almost daily, however, this has been my best workout in the last year. Shoot it may be my best workout in the last two years.

Coach Terry who managed my class of three pushed us hard. He was very encouraging when my form sucked or when my arms felt like I was wearing armor and I had to hit the speed bag. The workout was about an hr and half, but it flows smoothly. The plan is listed clearly on the chalkboard in the building.

Now Cape Fear Boxing is not new, but this location apparently is. The space is not done. The heavy bags were not up yet and the boxing ring has not been installed. I don't know how it will all end up looking. That is why I left a less then perfect score. After speaking with Coach Rasheed it doesn't seem like too big of a deal if they never do. He could probably whoop anybody into shape with the equipment they have out at the moment.

I was pretty happy with the prices that they have classes set at as well. It is not as cheap as gyms like Golds or O2, but when you are getting the attention of Coach Terry you'll understand why. I have only been once, but I can imagine Coach Terry working with me to make sure my elbows come back down, or my steps aren't too large. I can see the coaching staff pushing me to speed up down the street and that is why it costs more. There are different options for paying as well. I am not the biggest spender, but this place holds value.

All in all I am very happy I decided to come in and I can't stress enough how good a commitment to Cape Fear Boxing will end up leaving your body and mind. I can't wait to go back.

The Ladies boxing boot class was so much fun and a great workout!! I didn't know what to expect when I walked in considering this was the first boxing class I had ever attended. It was more than a workout because the energy in the room made you want to work hard and achieve your fitness goals like everyone else. The workout was intense but well worth it!! Can't wait to start the program:)

So my friend (who is a member) asked me to come check out one of the classes at the new gym she joined ,I said sure ,why not. I am sitting here typing, sore and still on high from the class I was in 5.5 hrs ago. The variety, support and motivation coming from the trainer was awesome. If you are ready to dig deep check out the free class,It will definitely make you want to go back for more.

May 15, 2018 18:05

My daughter recently tried the free youth class, and loved it. she was a little nervous at first but the trainer treated her like she has been coming there forever! Cape fear Boxing has a positive atmosphere, and a awesome workout! I defiantly will passing on the word!

Coach Rasheed is amazing! I joined his ladies boxing boot camp a month ago and it has helped me not only physically but mentally as well. This gym feels like home to me. I have received unconditional love and support from not only coach but the other members of the gym as well. I didn't believe I could do boxing due to having a bad elbow but coach believed in me and has helped me work through my limitations. I highly recommend this gym, all you have to do is try one free class like I did and you'll be hooked!

April 26, 2018 14:05

I really had no idea what to expect when I walked in late to my first class. The other ladies were ready to get started and the instructor assigned everyone to a station and it was time to move. So I moved and just fell in line. The other ladies were very nice and encouraging and gave me instruction when I needed it. The entire class is constant moving from station to station. The instructor was motivating and encouraging as he gave me instruction but pushed me to keep going when I wanted to stop and to do what my body could handle as it has been many years since I have worked out consistently. That's what I need and why I decided to take this boot camp for 6 months. I need to get my sexy back in 30 minute increments. Go me!

April 18, 2018 20:50

Very surprised about this place. I figured this would be like a typical gym with no real return but if your someone who wants to see progression and not workout for over an hour or have zero experience with weights and such, this is a great place to start. In 30min he gives you the tools you need to start seeing change along with a different routine every other day.

April 10, 2018 12:05

Just finished my first week of Ladies Boxing Boot Camp, and I am already seeing some changes in my body! Workouts are different everyday; fun, sweaty, and only 30 minutes! Everyone is in it together...offering helpful tips and healthy eating options. If you're looking for a fun workout experience, this is the place!

April 6, 2018 17:54

I'm so glad I decided to try Cape Fear Boxing! I took my first class yesterday and Coach Rasheed was very helpful, as I had never participated in any sort of boxing prior to my trial. The atmosphere at CFB is very motivating and welcoming and I enjoyed the community that I got to work out with. I can't wait to continue with the program and would encourage others to give it a try!

March 15, 2018 18:32

Took my 8 year old son to his first boxing class ever and he really enjoyed himself. I like the session size as my son was able to get one on one attention. Will definitely be signing him up permanently!

If you are looking for an awesome place to gain strength and courage.. Cape Fear boxing is the place to be!!! Coach Rasheed incorporates boxing with intense core training for an impactful 30 min. While he coaches he motivates! I am blessed to have found this place!

February 28, 2018 22:44

I AM STOKED ABOUT THIS CLASS! I participated in my first class tonight. I am super excited to begin my journey of healthy and happy. Coach Rasheed is a true motivator and the small class atmosphere is a definite plus. The boxing combos were the best!! I am excited and I know I will be successful. If you think you can't, BELIEVE ME, YOU CAN!!!
I also appreciated the diverse crowd of women both culturally and fitness level wise. I did not need any convincing or hard core sales. Once you go once, you will want to keep going.

February 19, 2018 12:17

My first day with Cape Fear Boxing was extremely challenging and fun! The atmosphere is so inviting and Coach Rasheed is so motivating and keeps it fun! The other women are so supportive and encouraging as well. I really felt welcomed and supported! Great experience!

The Ladies Boxing Boot Camp is truly changing my life for the better. This is the first time I have ever looked forward to working out. I played sports my entire life and even trained for a half marathon but nothing has made me feel as strong and encouraged as this class. I have more energy and am running faster than ever, not to mention it the incredible change in my body composition. Huge thanks to Coach Rasheed!

I came in as a visitor with a family member, not knowing what I was up against I have always been afraid because of medical conditions to work out as well as push myself to be confident in that area. I must say the instructor made me feel very comfortable as well as confident. I enjoyed my time with the class it gave me the ability to boost my confidents as well as the ability to work out in a comfortable setting. I would recommend this place for anyone who is unsure or unaware of where to go.

January 3, 2018 13:46

I was visiting from out of town and found this gym through Google. I booked the adult boxing class (free trial) to try it out and it was tough! I've been boxing and kickboxing for a year now and that was one of the best workouts I've had. The instructor gave me some very good feedback about my form.
Since the gym is smaller, the instructor was able to work with me one on one with shadow boxing, in the ring and using the bags. Great place, wish I could come back more often!

October 25, 2017 12:41

I have always wanted to learn about boxing and get more toned, I was lucky that my friend introduced me to this place because I am in love! It does not matter if you are a beginner or expert Coach Rasheed will help you learn the combos or improve your technique. The workouts are fun and for all skill levels! I enjoy the class and have noticed improvement and I have been going for a month so far now!

October 25, 2017 12:41

Coach Rasheed creates such a positive, supportive environment. I knew right away this is what my workouts had been missing. The workouts are intense but very engaging and learning to box is so much fun. Not only am I working out but I am learning a new skill. The classes have really pushed me to my limits. I highly recommend the youth boxing program as well. It has been great for my son! Im thankful for such a positive environment that teaches him how to work hard and build his confidence.

October 25, 2017 12:41

Cape Fear Boxing has changed my life! Coach Rasheed is not just a trainer and coach but a mentor. His desire is to see people reach their fitness goals while inspiring them to be the best they can be!
Great atmosphere!

I joined the Ladies boot camp in June 2017. I have worked out in gyms for years but I find these workouts not only challenging to my body but the group fitness is fun. In the classes there are ladies of all ages, body types and fitness levels. The coach is a very experience trainer and connects with each person on a one to one basics. Even in the group workouts he still pays attention to each person giving them personal attention and encouragement along with pushing you to do your best. So if you are looking for a change come and workout with us.
