Strong Martha is small but mighty. The size of the space and classes means you get personalized attention and learn correct form. Emily is knowledgeable, approachable, and keenly observant as a personal trainer and class instructor.

Can't wait for the next class! I never expected that boxing would be one of the most fun ways to exercise! I’m so happy that I tried boxing with Strong Martha. There is no better activity to start a Summer Saturday morning with than boxing with Emily before heading to the market. Both Emily and Sam are great with beginners and teach the core values and skills of boxing so you can build up your confidence and technique.

I started boxing as a way to vary my workouts, I never anticipated how much fun it could be! The different drills will keep you on your toes and boy does it feel good to punch something now and then.

After years of being hounded by my doctor, I started the 7 AM Strong Martha sessions two years ago.  Three times a week, 7 AM left the entire day open and feeling good. Emily has been a patient, knowledgeable instructor throughout the process. My 74-year-old body and my cynical demeanor have benefited greatly. What’s especially appealing about Strong Martha is the comfortable, no-BS nature of the facility - wear whatever, look like whatever and just get there in the morning and start feeling more fit.  It’s been great.

I’ve been going to Strong Martha for about four years now and I cannot recommend it enough. The workouts are a great alternative to a typical gym routine. You will find that boxing makes you leaner and stronger and the variety of the workouts keep things fun and engaging. It’ll make you look forward to going to class rather than not wanting to workout. Sam and Emily are very encouraging, amazing coaches; friendly, supportive and motivating. They have worked really hard to create a space for community. I highly recommend you try a class at Strong Martha to see for yourself.

They do a pretty ding-dang good job. The classes accommodate all skill levels, and each of the instructors bring their own focus to the sport. Every class is a good mix of fundamentals and opportunities to learn something new. I always look forward to training at Strong Martha’s

Intergrating boxing into my weekly routine has been a total game-changer. I leave Strong Martha feeling invigorated, empowered, and connected to the island community. The benefits to my energy, focus, and endurance last long after the last bell.
