This is a great gym for an experienced veteran or a green beginner. Coach Vic is very experienced and makes sure to work with you enough so that you are always learning. Vic has a vast knowledge of martial arts and studies it more than anyone I've ever met. I always feel welcome at Southpaw and I know the other people training there will always help me or give me advice if I need it. Southpaw is a unified group that you can always count on for good training. It's a great location too! Right on 35 North in Neptune, right down the street from Asbury Park.

Awesome place!!! My 14yr. old son loves it here. Very friendly and welcoming staff. They've been very patient as he learns boxing and muay thai. Top knotch trainers for sure! My son takes these classes in his off-season from wrestling. It keeps him active, and he gets to learn these other sports. Every night when he comes home he is excited to show us a new move. Thanks for everything!!!

I recommend this gym for anyone looking to learn martial arts or to get their body in shape. I'm enrolled in Muay Thai. During classes my limits are challenged and taken further. You'll always be active and learning inside of a hardcore yet healthy atmosphere. I leave every class with more confidence and a better understanding of Muay Thai.

I love this place and so does my grandson, whom I enrolled in August. It teaches discipline and is structured. My grandson has become more confident in himself and he looks forward to going there 6 days a week.

Great gym and great people. Vic and Steph make a great team. Virtual training (boxing) has been fantastic, always a challenge and something different.

Coach Vic grasciously allowed me to train at his gym while on my vacation. Awesome gym, great people, and I love getting a chance to learn from different people. I train Muay Thai but it was nice to get a little work in boxing. Can never work hands enough! I recommend training here if you can. Great training fair pricing.

Best gyms around the area

Whether you're training to "just" get in the best shape of your life, training to learn defense strategies or training to be a fighter - this is the place to go.

Southpaw is a great environment. Me and my kids feel like we are apart of one big family when we are there. The coaches are great and pay great attention to detail and needs of their students. I wouldn't want to be apart of any other gym.

I feel very comfortable here. I like the rotation of coaches/classes I attend because each one’s teachings are different and unique! Thank you!

Poor customer service and shady billing practices. I was forced to dispute through my credit card company. I provided documentation that I had moved out-of-state (which the contract states VOIDs the 30-day cancellation fee) but they refused to honor the policy and would not accept what other gyms have deemed as reasonable documentation.

Boring

I love this gym best gym in town

Amazing gym and amazing staff!

Best gym ever 😁

Extremely limited hours which is ridiculous considering the price. Skeptical of the hygiene practices. Also no water fountain - you have to buy bottled water.

Fun, Friendly, Clean & family oriented environment!! Cant beat the price either daily training for the whole family!
