This place is the definition of hospitality. Not only do they take care of all the customers and people that walk through the door. But they make you feel like you are right at home. They are active participants in volunteering for the homeless, they give away more than they ever receive. These are the most kind hearted generous people. If you see this on december 19, 2020 untill 5pm they are giving away free food and clothes for people in need.

Outstanding organization. Dino and Sara are wonderful people that care so much about helping their community. Wonderful youth programs that teach kids strong morals and good values. They have grand plans in the works that will benefit at-risk youth. I strongly support Blues and encourage Grand Rapids to do the same. Thanks for all that you do, Dino!

Hands down the BEST Boxing/MMA gym in Michigan. The instructors are top notch and Dino genuinely cares about every person that come through the doors. They go above and beyond for the community especially the kids. Dino has a Christian based philosophy that shows. He would give you the shirt off of his back if he knew it would help. They are a non-profit and depend on the generosity of local businesses and the community in order to continue helping our at risk youth. I can not say enough good things about Blues Gym and the staff there. Thank you for all that you do and I pray that you will be able to continue to help the community through your talents. Thank you again and God Bless!

A very family oriented gym. Ive visited many martial arts gyms across the country and the people at Blues Gym are of the highest quality of character, open minded, friendly and blessed people.Their cause to help under privileged kids and dedication to giving them direction and purpose with based on core Christian values is no less than impressive.They are a nonprofit and rely on community volunteers and donations from local businesses in the community. Dino has a big heart that matches the rest of the instructors who volunteer and dedicate their time in sharing the many benefits of martial sports to the next generations.

Im a small business owner committed to helping the community at large. When approached by Blues Gym back in February, I was willing to donate $100 to their cause. They wanted more to get me to their tiered level of exposure. I couldnt afford it at the time, so I decided to wait it out. The gentleman who called on my business to solicit the donation was very professional and friendly at the time. He understood that a new business wasnt able to donate much.He mentioned that his wife sells credit card processing and asked me if Id be interested in talking about that. Sure: Im always willing to explore saving money. I asked for a quote on their rates. He wouldnt give me any numbers. He wanted to send his wife over to go over the companys financials first.No, thanks. I smell a rat.Dino then calls the shop. He starts yelling at me at the top of his lungs, calling me all kinds of names. I agreed with the names he was calling me, mostly because theyre all true. In the case of helping the community, Im all ears. When I dont trust an organization, I close right down.Fast forward to today. The solicitor comes back in. He mentions that he lost his son to a drug overdose. I sympathized, yet I didnt want to give a donation to an organization that had broken my trust already, let alone one whose representatives call on the phone and act completely unprofessionally.He then states, Negative reviews online can be detrimental to a companys future, especially one who doesnt care about kids in the community.I reiterated my distrust.As a company, we are more than willing to help legitimate causes for the protection and advancement of society, whether its for medical or social advancement. We make annual donations to Helen DeVos, as well as many other legitimate organizations we trust to use the money for its intended purpose.On a personal level, my niece had been diagnosed with Leukemia at one year old. My efforts are focused to stop the horrible cancer epidemic in the world, not to donate to an organization who comes in to my place of business with a strongarm threat of detrimental online activity.Negative online reviews mean a lot to the community. Youre absolutely right.

Bringing Kids to God through Boxing.In a World where most people turn and look the other way,this Gym cares about the future of kids who might not have family or a role model that cares.Working together with Community News anchors and Local Law Enforcement as well as Proffessional athletes to show kids that people do care about them and their futures.
