Sam at FitBox45 is patient and diligent, and he challenges me with each workout! He also pushes me to improve each time we box, and with a supportive nature.

Well the coaches are really nice and flexible with people schedules and they always find ways to help you improve. They have also helped me lose some weight. I can fit in my old jeans thanks to the coaches at FitBox45.

My kids love going here! Mainly because of the awesome coaches. They get the much needed physical activity is needed during this sedentary time. More important than that they get encouragement and reassurance that they can do anything with hard work. Coach Sam "the fun coach" pushes them to do their best even when they don't feel up to it. That's how you crush your goals in life. Highly recommended!

Coach Sam is extremely knowledgeable in the sport of boxing and takes ones current abilities to a whole other level. He is patient with my abilities and learning speed and his guidance is superb. I recommend Coach Sam and FitBox Studios to anyone who Is interesting in learning the art of boxing or to anyone wanting to get in shape. Learning to box is very challenging but one I’m up to the task of achieving with Coach Sam and FitBox 45 Studios in my corner. 😃😃😃

My training session with Sam today was amazing! I came in town to visit a friend from Brooklyn, New York and went to the Arlington Heights location as a guest. Sam was able to properly pace my workout and was thorough with his instructions. Even though I was fatigued Sam inspired me to push through and I was able to complete all 9 Rounds!

Not only did he motivate me throughout my workout (encouraging me to build strength), he also taught me proper technique on how to throw punches and/or protect my face. I finished every workout with FitBox45 feeling powerful.

Samuel is a great trainer! Even though i am just getting back into the swing of things, I truly look forward to learning and getting better (vs just working out). I’ve always struggled with continuing to workout and give up after several weeks so his motivation is exactly what I need to stay into it! His love for boxing shows in his enthusiasm while training, and thus far I’v has an overall phenom experience with him!! Thanks again Sam!

He brings so much energy to your work out it's crazy. It also can be hard to find people who know how to hold hand pads in boxing, but it is very clear he knows how to and can adjust for different people.

Sam is one of the best trainers I’ve ever had! His energy and positivity are contagious. Even if I have a rough day, he motivates me to push myself and give it my all. He listens well to your needs and is both educational and supportive. I 100% look forward to every workout and every pad work with him! There wasn't one day I wanted to come up with an excuse not to work out!

Sam is a great trainer. He’s by far the best trainer I’ve ever had and he’s excellent with holding the pads. He has the right rhythm, speed, placemat and combinations. It’s a real skill and no one else holds pads like Sam. He’s also incredibly warm and friendly and totally dedicated to boxing and to his clients. He loves what he does and it shows! I give him the highest rating.

Sam is an exemplary trainer who truly has a passion for fitness, martial arts, and community. He will go above and beyond to guide you to your fitness goals. Sam motivated me to lose my freshman 15 (more like 25) by showing me that working out is so much more than sitting on a treadmill and lifting little dumbbells. He has creative workout routines that incorporates MMA moves so you’ll never get bored or not be challenged. I consider this cheerful trainer my mentor and a good friend to my family. You cannot possibly go wrong training with Sam. His workout music is awesome too, just ask him about Bad Bunny and Ozuna! Thank you Sam for your dedication, keep up the great work!!
