The Gym is located next to Big Bear Lake -  a popular training base for fighters as it is 7,000 feet above sea level and is hidden away in a quiet area.

Athletes train at high altitude to produce more of the hormone erythromycin (EPO) - which delivers more red blood cells to aid oxygen delivery to the muscles.

It was designed and built by Gennady Golovkin's trainer Abel Sanchez for former heavyweight British heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis and Hall of Fame trainer Emanuel Stewart.
