About Me


"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward! That's how winning is done!"
Having spent years growing beards and training in the depths of the snowy Siberian mountains, a triumphant band has finally emerged from the shadows. A band that can rise against all challengers, and say "I AM".
At a combined weight of 1,183 lbs., Balboa is a 6-man wrecking crew. A defiant tag-team of brawn, grit and determination, destined to inspire all to go the distance. While others may think pilates and protein shakes are the best way to get in shape, Balboa can motivate all to attain their peak physical fitness, using the most tried and true classical training methods. They pump up your lives with all the epic and legendary themes from the life and times of everyone's favourite heroic warriors. Years of research have proven that these epic, fist-pumping anthems, such as "Gonna Fly Now", "Eye of the Tiger" and "Hearts on Fire" can increase muscle mass by up to 43.6%.
At first glance, Balboa's chiseled and perfectly symmetrical physiques may appear to be what sets them apart from other bands; however, it's their iron will and perseverance that hold the true keys to their success. They absolutely believe that the world meets nobody halfway, and have set out to prove to the world that any underdog with two fists and a good heartbeat has got a chance. Getting up for that last round, when you know you can’t stand, that’s what sets you apart from all those other bums out there. That’s what makes champions.
"Now if you know what you're worth, go out and get what you're worth. But you've got to be willing to take the hits!" Get in the ring with Balboa and rise up, straight to the top. In the end, you'll come to the realization that if I can change, and you can change, anybody can change!
GO FOR IT!
