Dear reader, perhaps you’ve recently felt the spark to learn boxing — or maybe you’re simply looking for an exciting new way to move your body and stay fit.
I want you to know that Brad Sorabella, Head Coach and Owner of STC Boxing & Fitness. In my opinion, he is one of the best-qualified Boxing instructors in all of Massachusetts. I have given STC my entire confidence, and I have acted upon his coaching, guidance, and suggestions with great fast results.
You will benefit tremendously being taught under Brad and Danielle. Their approach to each class, community building, and providing a safe and comfortable environment will be a huge benefit to you, your health, mental state, and happiness.
A stronger version of you awaits, at STC Boxing & Fitness.

Wether you’re looking for a place to work out and do your own thing or actually learning how to box, STC is amazing. The culture and community this place has is welcoming and there’s non of that macho BS you might find in other gyms.
Brad and Danielle are the best!

Love STC!!! Brad and Danielle are awesome, great workouts, and overall good vibes. Classes are friendly to a totally out-of-shape beginner like me, but it seems like folks of all skill levels really get a lot out of them too! <3

I was shy and nervous about joining a boxing club. But STC is more than that. Brad and Danielle are really wonderful coaches— certified on top of it! They are passionate devotees to their sport and incredibly kind. Since I joined, I have more energy than ever before, have regained some muscle, am improving my agility and coordination— and most of all, am meeting members of a community I never knew existed so close to where I live. Thanks so much Brad, Danielle and a shout out to Creed who helped cure my achy knee!

Brad and Danielle create an extremely welcoming atmosphere and are truly knowledgeable trainers. We have enjoyed both private and group training at STC Boxing & Fitness. I've gained so much confidence, skill, and fitness since joining. The equipment is always clean and the space is inviting. What sets STC apart is that it's not a generic "boxing class" with loud music—here, the focus is on authentic boxing technique more than just fitness. Having tried a few places, this is absolutely the best one. I highly recommend STC to anyone looking to get fit or genuinely learn boxing!

This boxing gym is amazing and I highly recommend going here because of how nice the coaches are and how good the equipment is and the people there are very nice and professional which is very good and a nice gym to be in and when I started almost 2 months ago. I wasn’t sure what to do but when I came with my friends it became very fun, and something you guys can do and enjoy and gain from too. This gym has been a really good experience and a great place for exercising and gaining skill in boxing too which is a very good and useful too. I really hope more people come to this gym because of how amazing it really is and how nice the coaches and people are and careful for everyone and this gym should be getting a lot of love too I really hope that whoever is reading this can check this boxing place out because it is just amazing.

Where do I start? I adore this place so much.
First off, the people here are so welcoming and cool and friendly, not once have I felt intimidated once I said hello!
The facilities are clean and lovely, great for beginners like myself who need some help getting the motivation. They rent out wraps and gloves so you don't need to spend money until you're ready to.
The instructors are lovely and really caring and helpful, they make it feel fun and good to work out! They are so humble and guide you with their expertise in an engaging and gentle manner.
I've been taking the Boxing Fundamentals class for a while, and even if it's all the same stuff, it feels entertaining and fun every time I go!
Today as I was leaving the class, I wondered if I was soaked because of the rain, then I realized, I was inside the whole time! I just sweat that much!
Thank you so much Brad and Danielle for making my experience so lovely!!

Now that I've been a member of STC for a few years, I wanted to mention how wonderful my experience continued to be. I like the fact that different exercises are thrown in to keep our workouts challenging. In addition to the great instructors I mentioned below, Rishabh has joined STC coaching team and his strength conditioning class complements boxing workouts very well.
Original review from February 2022:
I’m a new member and my experience has simply been excellent! Owners and instructors (Brad, Kimbo, Danielle) take pride in what they do and lead us through quite challenging workouts. They are very friendly and always have a smile on their face, which makes you feel welcome every time you stop in.

I have been coming to this gym on and off since I was 16 years old. Every time I walk in I am greeted with smiles and positive energy.
I used to weight 260lbs out of high school after playing football for four years, I was overweight and unhealthy, it took a huge toll on my confidence. When I decided to come back to boxing it was very difficult but Brad, Kimbo and Danielle alongside with other members supported me through my journey and helped me lose 60lbs. I can’t emphasize how much more healthier I feel and how much stronger I grew both physically and mentally.
Thank you STC, I would leave a 100 stars if I could.

My 15 year old daughter has been going here for a few months and she really likes it. Very supportive environment with passionate and knowledgeable coaches. I am hearing only good things from her, and she doesn’t normally get into things and commit to consistency like this, so I’m a proud dad and so glad I started taking her to STC after she had asked me about taking boxing classes. Also their gym is well equipped, they have tons of bags, the prices are very very good, and it’s a really cool vibe in there. I would go too but she wants some space and I’m just happy that she is happy. Thank you STC!

Brad and Danielle have introduced me to boxing in the best way possible. I was nervous coming into STC boxing but felt comfortable right away. The fundamentals classes are perfect for beginners and the heavy bag classes are one hell of a workout. I’m so happy I decided to try out boxing at STC and it’s something I look forward to every day.

I had a phenomenal time with the staff especially that of Brad and Danielle. You gave me tons of confidence, technique, and power I couldn't learn elsewhere. Great to have small class groups to be able to learn off one another as well as have enough 1-1 time with trainers to hone in skills.

Jack here from STC- Been here for around 2 months and have loved every minute of it. Brad, Danielle, and Kimbo are absurdly good instructors. They're super professional, super friendly, and great friends as well. Get top tier workouts and learning to perfect my boxing form. Will not find a better boxing gym, and cannot beat the price hands down.

Just finished my two week trial, what an awesome gym to start boxing!
The coaches Brad and Danielle are great at teaching the finer details, very patient as they work with you and push you to get better in an encouraging way.
The gym has a ton of equipment and is very nice looking and clean, has a full weight gym and tons of conditioning equipment.
I like that I can reserve spots in multiple classes which are all a different challenge. Conditioning is tough and pushes you, mitt work is a ton of fun and fundamentals gets you going the right way.
Great coaches, great gym, great classes and a supportive community, cant ask for more!

I love this gym. I am someone who can't really make class as much as I would like, and they never make me feel like I am a failure. They are super welcoming, cheerful, and encouraging. Exactly the opposite I had been expecting. Definitely a good place to try things out if you are of a marginalized group and worried that you will be treated poorly in very bro-like spaces. (Though, they are all clearly very fit and serious about boxing. They just don't make you feel bad for being a novice.)

I took classes at STC for two years before moving away. I fell in love with the place straight away. The heavy bag and technique workouts are great training and kept me motivated to work out. Loved the strength training workouts as well, they've done great work in improving my run times and staying strong. The owners are lovely people and are around the gym all the time. The rest of the coaches give lots of personal instruction and the gym as whole is wonderfully friendly

A great boxing gym suitable for all. Whether you're aiming to improve your fitness, learn to spar, or even compete, STC boxing has the right classes and programs for your needs. The gym’s atmosphere is very supportive, with everyone focused on learning and helping each other out regardless of difference in skill.

I started STC classes at age 50 after 25 years of doing all sorts of boxing, kickboxing, aerobics, strength training classes and home videos. Nothing comes close to what STC offers. It is the most impactful traing I have ever done. I can do it all at my own pace and level of endurance. Classes are challenging but motivating. As my strength increased the knee and shoulder pains were gone. I have never been stronger in my entire life. Owners Brad and Kimbo, and the whole team feel like family and are welcoming. Thank you STC!

Walked in here without ever really being in a gym before - absolutely everyone in this place is friendly, helpful, and caring. The trainers teach you to be better at whatever you're working on - they'll hype you up and push you, but there's also no dirty looks or hard feelings if you need a break. Couldn't recommend more.

I moved to the Boston area a year and a half ago after accepting a new job. Constant travel and long hours at my previous job had destroyed my body. Shortly after moving to the area I joined STC, looking to make a change and get in shape again.
I’ve been coming to STC for a little over a year at this point and have lost 20 pounds thus far. The workouts are grueling and I can say that Danielle, Brad, Kimbo, and Dan have helped me get into the best shape of my life.
It can be intimidating joining a boxing gym if you’ve never done it before, however, Brad and the rest of his team are amazing at showing you the fundamentals, offering constant feedback and insight, and more importantly making everyone feel welcome. The gym has something for everyone - whether your goal is to compete and spar, get in shape, or just learn how to throw a punch (and dodge one). Lots of great people at this gym and an amazing community overall.
Give it two weeks to see if you like it. Give it three months to see a major change in your life.

If you're looking for a new gym, you can stop your search here. My fiance and I joined in January 2020 and never looked back. We started with a once a week membership before quickly upgrading to the unlimited plan until we unfortunately moved away from the area recently.
In that time, STC got me in the best physical and mental shape of my life. The workouts are brutal and you'll be pushed to your limit, but the feeling when you're finished makes it worth it every time. Brad, Danielle, and Kimbo are the perfect balance of encouraging while also keeping you honest about whether you're challenging yourself.
Since moving away we tried to give a couple other gyms a chance but ultimately decided to go the home gym route because nothing could compare. Thankfully, we've learned so much from STC that we're confident we can maintain our fitness at home. We also look forward to making the hour-long drive to stop by for workouts when we can!
The community at STC truly felt like family to us and it is something that we'll continue to miss every day!

Like all programs at STC Boxing & Fitness, Kimbo’s “Whole Rose Nutrition” is nothing short of phenomenal. As a former teacher and now administrator, I’m continually impressed by Kimbo’s knowledge of nutrition and her ability to convey that knowledge to others. By integrating the best practices of nutrition, physical health, spirituality, and motivation, Kimbo has created a program that truly supports one in meeting their nutritional, fitness, and performance goals. For all those in pursuit of physical fitness & total body wellness the experience you will have at STC Boxing & Fitness and “Whole Rose Nutrition” is nothing short of outstanding.

Great boxing instructions! I wanted to focus on technique, hands, and defense. Have found this training very helpful. I love the mitt work classes best. Such attention to refining technique with a live element to it to train reactions. I have taken Brazilian Jui Jitsu in the past, and more recently kickboxing and wrestling. So while MIxed Martial Arts is my interest, i wanted to train here to really refine and hone in on my head and hand movements, my footwork, and boxing techniques and reflexes. I do not regret it. Professional level boxing instruction here. The mitt work classes usually have one instructor for 4 people refining techniques one on one with them for sections of the class. That is how amateur and professional boxers work with their coaches. Some boxing gyms do not offer training like that unless you are on track for an amateur fight. So this is a rare opportunity to learn this as an ordinary gym member. They also offer plenty of classes for getting in shape, drilling techniques, and offer sparring as well. However far you want to go with it, be it getting in shape, refining skills and techniques, or progressing towards boxing matches in the area, this gym can do that for you. Highly recommend.

I’ve only just started a few weeks ago at STC, but I began boxing years before at a different gym (called The Ring in Allston: RIP). Though I love the sport and have sparred on and off through the years, I’ve never been any good. I wanted a change, to go someplace that focused on the fundamentals and technique, and I bounced from gym to gym for awhile looking for just the right place... Which leads me to STC: never in my life have I encountered instructors more dedicated, focused, and patient than at STC. The amount of individual attention you will get at this gym is unparalleled. I’ve learned more about technique in THREE WEEKS than the past THREE YEARS prior to the pandemic. Shout out to Danielle for her painstaking attention to good form: her eye for detail makes you want to try your best, every time. Both Danielle and the owner Brad actively compete, which means you're getting real-world training every day. The friendly but intensely focused small classes make you feel included and welcome, but always challenged. I only wish I had found this gym when I was first starting out. And what’s craziest is that it’s very reasonably priced as compared to other gyms of the same caliber. Don’t waste your time anywhere else: if you really want to learn how to box, this is the place to be.

A few years ago I was in a rut and a friend suggested boxing - she had been doing some research on it, for herself, and she had landed on STC Boxing as the place we should try.
I was feeling very intimidated to try boxing and even more anxious about going to a 'real' boxing gym. I wondered if we should try one of those bigger places where we could blend in and be more invisible but my friend felt confident that this local gym would provide an authentic, yet safe experience for us to learn.
From the start, I’ve felt comfortable learning and growing within the STC Boxing community.
I’ve tried all the different classes, taught by different coaches and learned something new from each class and coaching style.
Coach Brad offers constructive feedback and knowledgeable tips that can be applied with immediate impact.
Coach Kimbo has a very motivating, high-energy coaching style and a welcoming, inclusive nature.
Coach Danielle has a thoughtful approach that allows space to focus and hone specific skills.
The coaches are positive and supportive and I’ve benefited from the differing styles of coaching.
I keep going back because every class is a fresh experience where I continue to learn and hone new skills while training and strengthening.
I highly recommend STC Boxing to all levels of boxers as well as newcomers who are interested in adding to or changing up their workout routine.

STC Boxing and Fitness is the best gym I’ve been to in the multiple cities I’ve lived in (New York, Washington, and Boston). I contacted the owner and head trainer, Brad, about learning how to properly use kettlebells, i.e., proper form for things like the swing, clean, snatch, etc. His reply was prompt and we set up a private session to learn the movements. From there, we continued working out together and man let me tell you - these sessions were grueling in the best kind of way. Every session was different and I always left feeling great. I have a little experience boxing as well and did a boxing session with Brad too. Again, the quality was off the charts and he is a great mitt holder.
In terms of the gym, it is clean and equipped with everything anyone would need to get a hard workout in: kettlebells, sleds, pull up bars, bags, a full boxing ring...400lbs tire — he’s got it all.
Brad is also awesome to work with. He is encouraging without being overbearing and has a humble confidence and competence that I think any gym-goer would find inspiring.
STC Boxing & Fitness was my best discovery of 2021. If you are looking for anything ranging from a fun gym experience to hardcore training, you’re in good hands with Brad.

After months of putting it off- I decided to finally join a boxing gym because it was one of the few ways to make working out fun. I am so happy to have found STC Boxing & Fitness. Brad and Kimbo are two of the nicest people in the area. They work with you at any competency or fitness level. I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to keep up with the cardio intensity but any trainer at STC lets you work at your own pace while encouraging you to push yourself.
Can't say enough positive things about this place, after only a few weeks of training, I upgraded to the unlimited membership and am getting to 3-5 classes a week. Brad, Kimbo, Danielle, and Rishabh are always ready to answer any question or work with you to make sure you're getting the technique right. Big fan of STC Boxing and I highly recommend it to anybody looking for a boxing gym.

STC is a great boxing and training gym with amazing trainers and coaches. All the members are friendly and welcoming as well, so its an awesome environment. The workouts are always challenging and constantly changing to keep you engaged. I think its rare to find a business that offers so much for such a great value. The nutrition coach is so knowledgeable, you can work on cardio and strength training in addition to real boxing skills. STC offers everything you need to improve yourself and does it in such a fun way with great people. Working out there and spending time with the STC family is such an important part of my life. Do yourself the favor of giving STC a try, you won't regret it!

I've been an member at STC for 8 years now and I can't say enough about this place! The workouts are always dynamic and Brad and the team have no problem pushing you to your limits. The workouts never get old and better yet, never get any easier. The coaches there are great and you really feel a sense of camaraderie there. Would definitely recommend!

I have had a beyond great experience here at STC Boxing & Fitness. I have been here almost 2 months now and not only have my friends noticed a visible difference in muscle intake but I have felt 100x better psychically and emotionally. All the trainers there are amazing! They all have great knowledge within fitness and all carry such an infectious love for what they do. Whenever I enter I am always greeted with a friendly "hello" followed by my name because here they want to get know you and make you feel welcomed (and succeed). They differently do a great job in making it a very homey feel. Going along with the awesome trainers, another reason to go is to meet some great people. You'll always see a familiar face and these people will push you to your max during workouts and then after they genially want get to know you. Overall, It has a great facility, amazing trainers and people, and it is the best personal investment you could make for yourself and would recommend doing so as soon as possible because it is worth it.

I’ve been going to STC for about 3 months now, and can say this is one of the best decisions of my life! I have never pushed myself the way Brad will push you to your full potential. Not only are you boxing, but you’re also getting a full body crazy workout. Would absolutely recommend giving STC boxing and fitness a try, amazing gym with amazing and encouraging people.

Started training at STC in 2017/02, with Andrew firstly on a weekly basis one on one session for half year, and the first half year's training really laid good foundation in punching forms, works, footsteps and good conditioning work... Tough as it is, training with Andrew J.Leroy led me into the Boxing sports and made me fall in love with it. Since Andrew had to leave for his own job, I started to train with Brad, the owner of STC and a really smart guy who planned different and various way to train me and push me harder and harder to the next level... So basically I trained for one and half year before I left the States. Now I work in Hong Kong and I keep training boxing every week and push myself to the limit... Really appreciate the time and effort STC team spent on the client and made me love boxing. Keep the dream alive and thrive!

STC Boxing is the only place to go to for fitness results. I’ve been going here for 5 years and have no plans on leaving. Their conditioning classes were essential during my marathon training and the boxing classes are exactly what I need as a mom of three with a full time job to stay clear minded and keep my energy level up. But what I love the most about this gym is the way that all levels and ages are welcome here. The family feel paired up with fitness results is my reason for coming to class every week.

Some may call it a Boxing gym, some may consider it just another place to workout, but for me, STC is home. With extraordinary trainers Brad and Danielle, coach and nutritionist Kimbo is hands down the cherry on top of a cake. One is to expect endless undivided individual attention along with skillful expertise all year long. Working out at STC is my daily motivation, there is no denying that. I've made some great friends here at STC, rather a family far away from home, and I hope this family only grows bigger !
Also, don't forget to check out Absinthe Rose, Kim's very own local band here in Boston !
Team STC all the way !!

I have been a member at STC since April 2018. Needless to say, it has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. If you’re looking to prioritize your physical and mental health, do yourself a favor, and give STC a go. STC revolves around healthy, effective, and group dynamic based exercises. Right when you think you’ve given all you got, a team member is right there to push you even further. The energy, passion, and hard work put into every class by all members, is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I’m proud to be a part of a great gym community!

STC is a game changer ! My experience has been working with educated coaches who are teaching me to train safely. What you will find at STC are coaches who love what they do and a community who support one another . I’ve noticed changes in my physical appearance quickly as well as a positive change in my self esteem. It’s a gym you look forward to your workouts in . If your looking for a gym just show up STC doesn’t disappoint! 💥🥊

When I was a collegiate student-athlete, Brad and the rest of the staff here helped me to find the best shape of my life. Now that my collegiate athletic career is over, I have the opportunity to focus more on the technical side of boxing. Brad has been extremely educational and supportive in these endeavors athletically, physically, and even mentally. Come into STC ready for the workout of your life, with a culture that is second to none. I can confidently say that choosing Sorabella Training Center as my home gym, for boxing and working out, is one of the best decisions I've made for myself and my health. STC Boxing has become more than a gym or a hobby for me. STC is a home away from home and a family of diverse individuals.

When I started boxing, I wasn’t sure what exactly I wanted to do with it or if it was going to be an addition to my daily routine. Within a week of being at STC, I knew I wanted to stay. The coaches have greatly improved my skill, fitness, and discipline. A year later, I’m more than happy to say I’ve joined STC.

It's hard to express just how amazing STC is. I've always had an interest in all things health and fitness, but was struggling to stay motivated and find a routine that I loved as I entered my 30s. For years I had talked about wanting to try boxing, but was too afraid to give it a shot.
I showed up for my first class at STC so terrified of trying something new, but was immediately calmed when the owner, Brad, greeted me by name. What other gym does that?! Especially as a beginner, STC does an unbelievable job at making you feel welcome and like you're a part of their community from the very first class. They take the time to show you the ropes and make sure you really learn the right way.
I've been a member for 5 months now and am completely addicted! I love the different formats and how they're always changing up the exercises to keep things interesting. I've done half marathons, triathlons, and was a competitive dancer for years - none of it even comes close to how challenging the classes at STC are. Every time I leave, I feel like I accomplished something beyond what I thought I was capable of. More than anything, I've gained so much confidence by joining STC.
It's an added bonus that one of their coaches, Kimbo, is a holistic health coach as well. By having a nutrition and fitness program all in one place, I was able to see results even quicker. I can't recommend STC enough - if you're thinking about joining, just do it!

I cannot say enough good things about STC Boxing & Fitness. In just two months, I can already feel myself getting stronger and my body changing. Brad, KIMBO, Leroy and Danielle are not only excellent, knowledgeable instructors, but they are also great people. I appreciate that they take the time to help each student and address individual needs. No class is ever the same and I have learned so much in the short time I have been here. I am really excited that I have found something that I enjoy so much. By far, it is one of the best decisions I have made on my health journey. Thank you, STC!

I’ve been coming to STC for only a few weeks but immediately after my OnRamp trial class with Brad, I knew this was going to become a part of my life. I used to approach exercise with a lot of anxiety as someone who can easily get light-headed and is fearful that I won’t be able to keep up with others. I can honestly say I was stunned by the nature of this gym and how incredibly welcoming everyone is (instructors as well as other members!). It’s such a supportive atmosphere, like nothing else I’ve ever experienced and now between classes I’m itching to go back. I’ve never felt more supported, powerful and proud of myself than I do when I’m in one of these classes. Seriously cannot recommend this place enough!!!

I have been going to STC for 9 months and it’s my favorite thing I’ve done in a long time. Since graduating college, I’ve struggled to find a workout environment that I don’t find intimidating. Brad and all of the STC trainers create an awesome community of people who push each other to get better, stronger and have fun. And the class schedule is really accommodating for people who work full time! My favorite class is Undisputed. You won’t regret booking a class with them!

My husband and I showed up here out of shape and disillusioned by the notion of exercise. I have never been fond of exercise, and we had 6 injuries between the 2 of our aging bodies. Brad’s focus on form, and safety first reassured us that we could exercise safely! And I didn’t feel handicapped like I had felt since I had broken my leg in 2015! And then there is the boxing! Hitting that bag is so much fun and so therapeutic! And the sense of accomplishment at the end of each session! The Fitbit says we burn 500-600 cal there !:)) So we went from not exercising regularly to now missing our boxing session when we can’t make it!
Summary: it’s weirdly fun, a great all body workout, and totally approachable no matter your fitness level or injuries!

I've been coming to STC for just over a month and have already seen my strength, endurance, and tone increase significantly!
My fiance and I found STC while we were looking for a gym to help us get wedding-bod ready. He had always wanted to try boxing and at first I was intimated but Brad and the STC crew makes it very approachable and fun! There on ramp class was very helpful to understand the basics before we jumped into one of their regular classes. STC has a great community filled with all types of people and a range of fitness levels.
So far I've been going 2-3 times a week and have tried three of the different class types (pound for pound, kettlebell/TRX, and fighter fit) and have loved each one of them. I am looking forward to trying a few of their other classes and plan to start going more frequently as I increase my fitness level!
