A great place to box and train! Very clean and well organized. Al Irish is a former professional boxer, and now a great, motivating trainer here. If you want to get in shape and your moneys worth, this is the place to do it! See you at Shut Up and Box!!!

Great place for an alternative to basic and boring workouts. Nice music(loud- you can feel and move to the beat), boxing gloves(a must), knowledgeable trainers...all levels, different workouts daily and very addictive! If youre looking for the norm...you wont find it here!

Ive been working out at Als gym for over 6 years and have loved every class and instructor. If you want a welcoming environment and a fantastic workout, this is your place. If you want to take your training to the next level, work with Al one-on-one or in a small group setting. In no time you will be in the best shape of your life. I love this place!

There is no gym like this on Earth! I have had extensive training on physical fitness during my time in the military, and the workout at this gym is second to none. There are classes for all ages, genders, fitness levels, and boxing experience. Whether its your first time in an exercise class, or youre a professional athlete, youll find a great workout like youve never had before. Definitely worth every penny! These trainers and instructors go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable and help with what ever you need. One of the best gyms that Ive ever been to!

I was scoping out a lot of different boxing gyms, and then I found shut up and box!! Love the workouts I get at this place. All the instructors are really nice and create an intense, yet friendly/supportive workout environment. They are truly dedicated to helping me reach my fitness goals!

This gym is great. The atmosphere has no comparison. The trainers are so friendly and encouraging and the work out is next level. Al Irish, the owner, is not only an unbelievable trainer but a great business owner. 10/10 would recommend coming here if you want to get in shape

Shut up and box is amazing! Its a workout that keeps me coming back everyday, even at 6am and Im not mad about it! Its a workout that has got me looking better than I did in high school, which is generally what everyone strives for! Its truly a full body workout that will be different every time you go!

This is a great gym. No need to feel like you have to get fit to be a member. SUAB is very welcoming for ALL levels. Ive been to so many gyms and this is by far the longest and best membership Ive invested in. Its great to be a part of this family. I appreciate being pushed by the instructors. Sometimes you have a bad day and really showing up is all you can do, its noticed. I feel like every class has a personal touch. Thank you to all!Shawn Fitz-

The owner tells you what you want to hear to get you in the door. If for any reason you have to cancel your membership he will over charge you and come up with excuses as to why he charged you for additional months.Some of his workouts are very good but he does the same thing every time and he does not have much experience working with multiple fitness levels at one time. He assumes everyone can do all the exercises.The owner likes to put you down if you cannot complete the workouts. I had attended a class and since I have a medical issue, I decided to sit out the remainder of the class. The owner would then talk about me in other classes and had labeled me as someone who had no determination and was lazy. My girlfriends who were in the class told me about what he said and I was shocked. Al (the owner), tells people in his class to not bother writing bad reviews on him because he has 10 people write good reviews to cover the bad ones which tells me he knows hes not being good to his customers.The cancellation policy is clear on paper but if you cancel 30days prior (as you are supposed to) the owner will delay in getting your the cancellation form and you will be penalized for it and have to pay an additional month.I do not recommend this place being that there are so many other better ones to choose from.

I love every class I have tried and I have almost tried every single class offered. I definitely started out as a beginner and Al and all the other instructors were so helpful. Not only does shut up and box give you a great workout, I have made so many friends by joining this gym!

This is by far the best kickboxing gym I’ve ever been to and I’ve trained in Pittsburgh, Memphis and Detroit. Al is always motivating us all to be better, stronger, push harder. This place is like family. I highly recommend stopping by!

By far the best workout around. Ive been training with Al since November 17 and never felt better. The SUAB community is a great group of people led by Al Irish and his trainers. If you are serious about getting in shape, give it two weeks and youll notice a difference.

The childrens boxing program is phenomenal! The kids not only learn boxing and get physically fit...they gain self-confidence, trust, and community. After seeing all of the benefits my boys were getting...I joined too! Each instructor works to push us when we might otherwise give up. After only a couple months, Im seeing increased strength and cardio stamina. I highly recommend Shut Up and Box to everyone!

I started going to this gym from a group on i purchased for 10 classes ... I LOVE the motivation everyone has and the instructors are very hand on and encouraging ... I am the type that does better working out in a group w people to encourage me and push me and this place fits me perfectly! I got a membership after my group on finished and im super pumped! They also have two locations so it makes it easier to fit classes into your schedule etc ..

I joined this gym after an eye opening orientation, after just one minute of standing in a fighters crouch I almost fell over! Six (6) months later, of about 4 classes per week, the image I see in the mirror every morning nearly matches the image of myself in my head. All the instructors are great and there is always something going on at one of their multiple gyms which fits my crazy schedule.

SUAB is a home away from home! Not only does the gym provide the BEST workouts Ive ever experienced, but it also provides a welcoming environment with great company as well. Ive been athletic most of my life, but Ive never encountered workouts as effective and fun as those at SUAB. The classes are for people of all ages and levels. There is absolutely no judgement on what anyone can or cant do. This has inspired me and many others to work to the best of our ability and see crazy results. Every class is different so its never boring, but its always a full body workout. 10/10 would recommend trying a class to anyone!

If you want to elevate your fitness routine and get fast, lasting, results, SUAB is the ONLY boutique-style gym in the greater Detroit area that will get you there. Its a badass workout led by incredible instructors, and a MUST-DO for everyone who loves fitness!!

If I could rate this gym 100 stars, I would. I have now been a member at Shut Up and Box for over 2 years and I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate this gym.I found them via groupon and I was around 212 lbs, eating terribly and completely out of shape. Now, I am now at 165ish, eating better and I have never been in better cardio/strength shape in my life. A huge part of the credit goes to Shut Up and Box.The instructors are all different, very friendly, treat you like a family, they always teach you technique first and then they push you to the max. They have classes for every skill level and they will help you in anyway they can!The gym is on the small side, but I am a fan of it. Plus, they are opening a 2nd location in Detroit and I can’t wait.Keep up the great work guys!Sidenote: They are never pushy about the memberships and the staff has always emailed back and been super helpful with everything.

Similar as below, extremely poor communication after money had been received. I didnt want to cancel my membership, but request a hold.I paid for a full year in advance. I tore my achilles tendon one month after purchasing it. Had surgery shortly after.I just wanted to put a hold on the account date because recovery will be at least 6 months. I called, emailed, texted, and left voicemails on several occasions, but never heard back.Seems like a good place and I enjoyed the training. Its unfortunate they never put any effort to reach back out. Poor customer service means a lot today.UPDATE:Thank you for the same day response Al. No, my name is not Nichols. If you were too look correctly it says Nicholas. My name, is Nicholas Regan.Not only did you never call or email back, Al. I texted you today asking you to reach out before I posted this to speak with you, Al.The car analogy is a good one. Know what else is good, Al? The 1 payment that may cover one week of rent for you you were able to weasel out begging me to take advantage of this big sale.I thought you were a good dude. You could have made a lot more money off of this. Instead, you have shown nothing, but the lowest character for a business owner.I just left you a voicemail again. If you would like to show an ounce of integrity, give a call back instead of sitting behind your computer.P.S.If Youre** going to lieLie with dignity

I have never been here but it sounds like the owner has pretty poor customer service skills. A friend paid for a one year membership up front and then suffered a crippling injury (not as a result of the training). He then called to inquire about postponing his membership until he was healthy enough to train again. Had no intentions of getting a refund. After being repeatedly ignored for some time he was told that “The contract is like a car lease” and that “you don’t get out of car leases for injuries.” I find my self disagreeing with that comparison on many levels but I’ll spare you the novel.I am going to give this review a one star not because I am dissatisfied with the service, but because I am viamently opposed to the owners conduct in such a customer-centric business. I would recommend the book: “Customer Satisfaction is Worthless, Customer Loyaltly is Pricelss: How to Make Customers Love You, Keep Them Coming Back, and Tell Everyone They Know.” By Jeffrey Gitomer. I think it could really help this business owner. Until then, we will remain at one star.

Ive never been involved in any physical activities in this place, but I did visit them. In which it turned out to be more of a fitness center(that offered boxing lessons), and less of a actual boxing gym. But yet they call themselves Shut Up And Box, but they dont even possess a boxing ring. But on a good note the facility is in a new building with new looking exercise equipment.
