An amazing gym and Iowa City is so lucky to have it. You will get in great shape and if you attend and see how many classes are offered each week you will realize the price is so reasonable. You get what you put in and Coach Clif is awesome at finding ways to motivate you and explain things to become a better boxer. It’s for all skill levels and I promise you won’t regret going if you check it out. Leave your ego at the door and pace yourself but push yourself and this will be the best place you’ve ever trained.

Coach Cliff & Coach Emily provide an exceptional environment for one to grow and become a stronger both mentally and physically human being. Their boxing creed inspires their students young and old to reach unexpected heights. My young son has been an ICOR student for a few months and he loves going to class each and every time possible. Ive seen him become more self confident in himself. We are proud to be part of the ICOR family.

Great workout and great instruction. Very accommodating for all fitness and experience

Great gym, Excellent coach with a lot of wisdom. I came in a street fighter and with a couple years of dedication, I’ve seen myself progress into an actual boxer through the guidance of Coach Johnson. I’d recommend this gym to anyone who is serious about becoming a high level boxer.

This place is good for kids and older ones even people with Parkinsons disease, they have great work outs and boxing for everyone! I would definitely recommend it.

My 9 year old daughter has been in the kids boxing class for a while now and loves it. My 6 year old daughter just started in the young kids class, and was so excited after her first class. I’m glad my girls have something to look forward to, that focuses on athleticism and confidence. Highly recommended!

This has been a fantastic experience. My confidence, ability, and understanding keep growing. Not to mention my strength and endurance. I never feel intimidated or out of place and everyone is super eager to help and learn!

Excited to be apart of this all inclusive gym with fun classes, and great equipment!

The coaches are great, passionate people who care about making people better fighters and better people. The other students I’ve had classes with are good to work with, too.

We got involved because of Parkinson’s related Rocksteady boxing. Emily and Cliff are great! With the onset of COVID-19, they have kept us going with a combination of live streaming and socially distanced mask wearing in person classes. The average age for RockSteady is probably in the 60s and we are getting pushed for an impressive good work out. 😁. We have enjoyed them so much that we have enrolled our three older grandchildren in the youth boxing and the three younger grandchildren in the little bugs classes for the 4-7 year olds. They are loving it too. This is a gym for those who are serious about getting a great workout. And if you have Parkinson’s disease, highly, highly recommended!

Very clean well equipped spacious they have a full size boxing ring

I highly recommend to visit and attend ICOR boxing gym if you are looking for a boxing gym or some place to workout. I very enjoy working out in this gym feeling the improvement of my boxing skills and fitness. I have been in ICOR gym over 8 months, also currently learning boxing in ICOR gym. The workout in ICOR gym during the class is efficient and very well directed to improve your physical competence, so it is worth to give your energy during any class in the gym. Instructors are very intelligent to teach you how to do boxing or how you need to approach starting and learning boxing in a modern style, furthermore, a various style as you ask them since they are very open minded, and willing to share their thought about the various techniques and skills you may curious about as well. People in the gym are nice to talk and some of them are good fighters already, so they would share with you the positive impression and a great motivation to workout. Lastly, their hygienic place of gym with spacious room is the one of their strong. They have developed the way they arranged the heavy bags and all the abundant equipment in a reasonable way, and clean the gym very often, regularly. Although the gym was already a great place at the first time I visited, but still the equipment and facilities have been developing; they dont stop improving themselves. You will not regret coming to ICOR. Thanks for reading.

I started going to ICOR in order to boost confidence, athleticism, and to learn a new skill. Thus far, they have exceeded all my expectations. They create a welcoming environment that still manages to push you, support you, ensure you have the tools for success, and takes the time to teach you proper technique. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who really wants to learn what its like to fight and push your body to new limits in order to achieve your goals.

I joined ICOR as a person who had no experience in boxing but wanted to learn. Everyone was welcoming, encouraging, and treated me with respect. I have really enjoyed having Julie as a kickboxing instructor and appreciate her focus on correct form. Clif and Emily are detailed and motivating boxing instructors. They have been accommodating when I needed to put my membership on hold. Regardless of your level, if you make an honest effort this will be a very rewarding place for you.

The Rock Steady Boxing for Parkinson’s program at ICOR is excellent. The coaches, Emily and Clif, are fully trained in Parkinson’s-specific core, balance, and other yoga-related techniques. They integrate these activities with boxing techniques to reinforce eye-hand coordination, balance and stamina. I have a lot of fun trying to raise my training to the next level. And classes are fun. Lots of community with other wonderful Parkinsons people.

First day attending went great. Went during the open gym time frame and it was very refreshing. The instructor was helpful and the maam who helped me sign up was very welcoming.

I have always been interested in boxing. I have done boxing workouts before but never really felt like I was learning anything, just going through the motions. I joined ICOR because of one of these reviews. It mentioned how knowledgeable and welcoming the coaches were and how multi-functional the facility was. All of it was true and I was sold when I attended my first class. I have learned so much since then and cannot stop coming back. Highly recommend ICOR.

ICOR has been part of our family for 6 years and Clif and Emily are fantastic. Both are serious, thoughtful and knowledgeable instructors with tons of wins under their belts. The gym is clean and equipped with serious workout equipment. If you want a great, complete and tough workout, this is the place to go!

Our son became involved at ICOR a year and a half ago and has loved the youth boxing program. The skills he has learned and the strength he is developing is amazing. Coach C and Coach Emily are strong motivators, skilled teachers and all around great people. And the gym is legit! I’ve been so impressed by the equipment and expectations and all the people we’ve met there. My son also attended their summer boxing camp and had a great week. This has been the one thing that he’s stayed with and looks forward to. Can’t recommend enough!

One of my favorite gyms I have ever been a part of, Ive now been a member for a few years and started as someone with no experience, but as long as you come to classes and put in the work you will see great results in your body and how to fight Emily and Cliff are both great teachers that have taught me everything I know in boxing, Also just getting to workout in groups is personally more fun for me then going to a regular gym.

I attend the Rock Steady Boxing Classes for Parkinsons Patients at ICOR. Clif and Emily are great instructors and provide a safe and supportive environment that motivates everyone to do their best and give it their all. Its a great class!

Great workout with an enthusiastic instructor that is really hands on. Fantastic facility!

I loved the gym. I worked with both Cliff and Emily and they treated me with kindness and the utmost professionalism. Every time I stepped into the gym I was motivated to give it my all. I was stopping through Iowa for two weeks so I signed up for the gym and in just two weeks I feel I learned so much and have gotten a lot stronger. I would recommend this gym to anyone that wants to learn how to fight, because you have instructors that love what they do and really want to bring out the best in you :).

I started going to ICOR to learn a new skill as well as to push myself. I have enjoyed their wide variety of classes as well as thier hands on training. They provide great equipment and is a safe and healthy enviorment to be in.

100% recommend going to the gym

Our son loves his youth boxing class - it is everything he had hoped it would be!

I attend the Rock Steady Program for people with Parkinsons----Clif and Emily are always working to best meet our needs by having a program tailored to us. Each session is challenging and full of variety----great way to exercise---they run a top notch program!

I joined a group within ICOR Boxing called “Rock Steady Boxing”, which is intended for folks with Parkinson’s Disease. We receive fast-paced combinations of exercises which influence balance, strength, flexibility, and voice. These sub-exercises all culminate in non-contact boxing exercises, which really get the sweat flowing. Clif and Emily are superb trainers; always positive and encouraging. I know that my neurologic status is better than when I started, and I keep getting stronger, and more flexible. My neck mobility is better, and I track in a much straighter line when walking. If you have Parkinson’s Disease, you should join. It doesn’t matter what stage of the disease you are in. Fight back!

Great gym with great coaches!

The classes themselves were great, the work out was good, cliff is a great instructor and a very nice guy, knows what hes doing. But be prepared to read the fine print if you decide to sign up because they dont tell you that youre signing up for three months MINIMUM. I was given not even a hint that it was a contract when I was asked to give them my credit card. So if youre looking to sign up for at least an entire season then this is the place for you. If not, keep on looking!

Great place to learn how to fight or get a simple workout in. Since day 1 Ive experienced nothing but a great, judgment free, environment where everyone is eager to workout and help each other get better!

Ok so the Kickboxing and mma class were amazing, Julie knows her stuff and actually tries to help on stuff it looks like youre struggling on. The boxing classes on the other hand were OK. They were a workout, but if youre actually trying to learn how to box, its not the greatest. I didnt get any advice, all I ever was told was a simple combination to work on and then they would leave and try to help one of there more favorite students. Also be wary of the contract. I messed up and didnt read it well but thats on me

Best Boxing/MMA Club around...Im very happy that they have a Youth MMA/Boxing class. My son loves going to practice even if its only on Saturday because we live far away. Wish I could take him during the week.

I do not regret joining ICOR ,the trainers and the environment are perfect.

Not only are the classes an amazing workout (I have lost close to 10 pbs sonce I joined this month) the classes are also informative. I have been attending the kickboxing and mma classes and I am the newest member in them. I never felt put out, or pushed aside due to my inexperience, and all the instructors understand some limitations that beginners may have, which was one of the things I was nervous about at first. I am glad I found this gym and I am extremely excited to further my training in kick boxing and mma, and possibly even boxing! The sky is truly the limit at the gym, but just remember, it all starts with what you yourself put in. They give you the tools, but you must use them! Thank you for helping make my goals of learning kick boxing and mma more of a reality!- Mackenzie

Great place to work out and you get one on one advice.
