Uppercut Boxing & Fitness

Uppercut Boxing & Fitness is a boxing and fitness gym that trains members with the Real Jaco Boxing Methodology. Group classes run throughout the week and are open to beginners as well as advanced members, and the gym describes itself as a welcoming, family-style community.

Personal training starts at $75 an hour, with trainers focusing on cardio and boxing-based workouts or on strength training and body sculpting. Drop-in classes cost $10 to $15, and small private groups can book their own session for $75 for two people or $30 each for three or more. The gym is at 1919 Southwood Street in Sarasota, and it's a good idea to call ahead to discuss a plan or check whether an existing group has room.
