Our Story
More Than a Gym.
La Bodega was built for people who want to train hard, learn real skills, and be part of something. Strength. Skill. Community. — that's not a tagline, it's how this place runs.
Why La Bodega exists
A gym built on the south metro's terms.
Prior Lake didn't need another cardio circuit. It needed a place where adults and kids could train boxing, MMA, wrestling, and kickboxing with coaches who know what they're doing. La Bodega is that place — gritty, welcoming, and serious about skill development for everyone from beginners to competitors.
- Boxing, MMA, wrestling, kickboxing, and self-defense
- Youth programs starting at age 6
- Adults and kids training under one roof, side by side
