What did I learn while boxing? Despite of its brutality and lack of principles box taught me the most important thing in life – to win. As one of the coaches said: "Boxing is like playing chess, but using your body". At Backyard, you have a privilege of boxing side by side with motivated partners and awesome coaches!

I'm practicing sport all my life: wakeboard, snowboard, motorcycle, roller-blades. A bit over a year ago I needed to get my body back in shape and set the training regimen after a long break due to the injury. I chose Backyard, cause it was close to my work and home. But after one month of training I realized that it's a special place of power: amazing coaches and individual approach did their part. Backyard is the best!

Why boxing? The reason is quite down-to-earth: before I trained in a regular fitness center as many of us do. I attended different group classes and lifted barbells with huge guys. However, after a while I realized that it's not motivating for me. That's why I decided to change the silicone bracelet of one club to a boxing gloves of the other. At Backyard I found everything I looked for: people, team, coaches and atmosphere!

I hit the gym for about five years already. I enjoy lifting barbells, dumbbells and all that stuff, but over time it becomes a routine and finally gets boring. Lately I'm really into gymnastics. All those dragon flags and bar muscle-up are very motivating. I was striving to move in this direction and started to search the place I could learn to do it. Finally, I found Backyard and there I met Pavel. This is the place you come for the first time having a feeling that you're coming back to your favorite familiar place.

At Backyard, training can be a real fun! Here even the laziest person gets inspired to become better and stronger every day, improve and get rid of bad habits. When you get into training it's not only your body that changes, but also the world around you. The gloomy Saint Petersburg turns brighter, spirits lift higher and instead of sitting in a bar with friends you go to a workout in your favorite gym.
