I passed by Sorrento for 4 days (holidays) and did not want to miss training. After searching, I found Box 173 Studio, and it was amazing!

Vincenzo, the owner, was great from the get go. I contacted him via WhatsApp and he answered very quickly. I was able to train 4 days in a row, with full access to all the equipment! He was very kind and always made room for me to train, despiste the classes.

This is a great place if you want to do some weightlifting, powerlifting, crossfit, functional training or just do some excersice.

It is very close to Sorrento’s “touristic downtown” and you can walk there!

In summary: it is a no brainer if you stop by Sorrento and want to train.

Congrats Vincenzo for a great gym!

Per me la palestra a volte può risultare scomoda e causa di ansie, ma da boxe 173 mi sento estremamente a mio agio. L'ambiente è amichevole e accogliente, e il PT mette molta cura in tutto ciò che fa - ha creato davvero qualcosa di bello.

Fantastic place. Had a great time working out there while on holiday.
It was a 15 minute ride from where I was staying, located on a main street in sorrento.
Extremely nice owners, would most definitely recommend to anyone involved in the fitness world.

I dropped into box 173 and Vinni was a legend,
We ended up training together and he made me feel very comfortable and we had heaps of fun, took my son back to train also and he was very welcoming.
Very knowledgeable and gave my son & I lots of time and tips when we were training.
Drop in price very reasonable @$10 euro, just message him via instagram to make a booking, he responded very promptly!!!!!

Wonderful gym with wonderful people!
I had the pleasure of training at Box173 while visiting from the United States for 2 months. This is a very special place, with an amazing community. From day one I was warmly welcomed and made to feel like part of the crew. The owner and trainer Vincenzo is friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. He kept me smiling during even the toughest workouts! He also gave excellent feedback that was new and helpful to me even as someone who has been working out for many years.

If you're looking for a great workout in a well-equipped gym filled with kind people, look no farther than Box173! I'm going to miss this place when I return home.

CASA!
È ormai più di un anno che mi alleno presso Box173 e non mi era mai capitato di mantenere una certa costanza e raggiungere determinati risultati. Gran parte del merito va a Vincenzo, Personal Trainer attento e preparato che ha saputo trasmettermi gli stimoli. Non è facile trovare una persona così disponibile, felice di aver fatto parte di questa palestra.
Grazie Vins

Box173 is by far the best gym in town and Vincenzo, the owner, is a knowledgeable, professional and trustworthy PT. He'll always make sure you'll get the best out your session. Every time I come back to Sorrento, this is the best place to go training.
Friendly atmosphere and great equipments available!

MIGLIOR PALESTRA DELLA PENISOLA!
Nato e cresciuto a Sant' Agnello, vivo all estero, ma il primo pensiero che ho prima di ritornare ogni volta in penisola é quello di andare ad allenarmi al Box. Bellissimo ambiente, Vincenzo é un vero professionista e motivatore, penso di non aver mai visto nessuno con la sua passione e professionalità. Non c'è cosa più bella di avere le gambe distrutte dopo una bella sessione di squat al Box. TIME TO DO SOMENTHING M*********R!!!

AH quasi dimenticavo, Grande Coach PUMBA il cane più ANABOLICO d Italia ❤️

Amazing environment for group training!
The owner is an extremely kind and nice man, and the vibe of the gym is excellent and friendly
The gym is just off the main road. This gym/studio is for individual coaching and group sessions primarily. If you are on holiday, then message the instagram page of this group in advance, and the owner can try and fit you in certain hours.

There is powerlifting equipment here, squat racks, IPF spec benches, brands, dumbbells, iron and calibrated plates, deadlift platform, toilets, big fan, good barbells

I’m super happy that I came here to train during my holiday!

Lovely spot! Especially great if you’re into functional strength and/or powerlifting. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable as well, and went out of his way to make sure we were getting the most out of our session. Only thing is that it’s a bit cramped and there aren’t a lot of options if you’re more into bodybuilding. Their day passes are 10€ and thus more affordable than their local competition.

Great gym and owner is so friendly. We dropped in while we stayed in Sorrento and we basically had the gym to ourselves. Great drop in price of 10e. Fantastic selection of good quality weights, dumbbells, bands, and an assault bike and much more. Highly recommend for a great workout!

This is the second time I come here to workout during holidays, I must say definitely this is the best place to train, first at all the coach Vicenzo, he’s is a very reliable person, very professional and knows the subject, in addition to preaching by example; always training. He is very careful with the people who attend, always putting first technique, which is appreciated. The equipment is very well maintained and the facilities, although is small, it’s always clean, have a shower and sanitary area. It also has an open box, which is great. And above all, the people who go there are very friendly and make you feel welcome. It is definitely a highly recommended place.

Fantastic gym, would highly recommend to anyone visiting or living in Sorrento. Everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming. Excellent selection and quality of kit. They also have straps, chalk, accessories etc. which is handy for those travelling. Perfect for anyone wanting to train functional fitness, CrossFit or powerlifting.

Perfect gym to drop by in if you're visiting Sorrento are, super friendly, all the equipment you need for functional style training (crossfit equipment plus powerlifting/weightlifting). If you need bodybuilding machines and treadmills etc then not a gym for you. EUR 10 for a drop in at time of review, owner kindly kept the box open after hours so people could finish their sessions. Will definitely be back next time in in town.

Vincenzo non è un semplice Personal Trainer, è un motivatore! Scherzando e sorridendo sempre con tutti, crea un atmosfera piacevole nella quale allenarsi: sia a livello amatoriale per smaltire qualche pizza di troppo, sia a livello agonistico, creando schede di allenamenti specifici come di powerlifting, crosstraining e functional training.
Non avrei mai pensato di andare costantemente in palestra… eppure lui è riuscito a farla diventare una piacevole abitudine. Fortemente consigliato!!!

By far the best gym in the area. The owner Vincenzo is extremely knowledgeable. Whether a one-off visit or a committed plan, Vincenzo genuinely cares about your well-being and always goes the extra mile to support you during your training session. Modern and clean equipment for cross training, powerlifting and functional training. A booking system is in place to prevent overcrowding and ensure that you’re looked after. Totally recommend!

If you're looking for a great place to workout, whether you're on vacation or in Sorrento for a long time, Box 173 is absolutely the place to go. Best gym in the area, especially for functional training or even powerlifting. Vincenzo is extremely knowledgeable and attentive. While working out (my workout was more cross training), I felt muscles I didn't know I had. Vincenzo had me to movements and exercises I had never done before. They were absolutely fantastic!

Seguo Vincenzo dagli albori di Box 173... non é la solita "palestra", box 173 é famiglia ma soprattutto un luogo dove trovi un staff super qualificato ed unico nella ns. zona. Dal Bro, come chiamiamo tutti noi il buon Vincenzo, puoi metterti alla prova nel powerlifting ( donna o uomo che tu sia). Bro ed il suo staff possono seguirti dal functionaltraning al crosstraning sempre con scrupolosa professionalità e competenza...
Ma la cosa più bella in assoluto , almeno per ciò che mi riguarda, é che assieme all' allenamento apprendi e scopri il tuo corpo.

Tutto quello di cui avevo bisogno! Vincenzo con la sua professionalità e simpatia è riuscito a farmi appassionare ed avvicinare a questo mondo ! Ha corretto molti miei errori che trascinavo da anni, e ha migliorato la mia postura e forma fisica ! Il mio approccio alla palestra adesso è diverso! Ogni allenamento è diverso da quello precedente, e con un personal trainer come lui non ci si annoia mai! Grazie grazie grazie !
