I came here to find a family friendly environment and learn how to fight. You bring your A Game and pay your membership, you will exit a far more dangerous person than when you entered. This is a place to beat butt, but also make the highest quality of friends.

Ive been a member of this gym since 2014 and go as often as I can, usually 4-5 times per week. The place is very welcoming whether you are a beginner or know your way around a bag. The instructors bring it to every class. Its often challenging and always worth it.

This has been my gym for over three years now. A pretty no nonsense gym, if you are serious about getting a workout, work on your boxing, kickboxing, mma, etc, this is the right place to be. The coaches are friendly, always looking to help and know what they are doing. If you are looking for more amenities like a pool, sauna etc, then you should look elsewhere.

This place is filthy & cluttered. The trainers are unorganized when instructing the classes. Coach Mike B. was late to multiple classes and ended them early. He kept pausing the class to take care of his son while instructing the class. And was quite rude 😒 to multiple people.

Ive been coming here for a little over two years now and it is a regular part of my week. When I first signed up for a trial class, I was really nervous about my level of fitness and boxing in general, but the instructors are incredibly patient and attentive. They give you instruction without singling you out or making you feel self-conscious. While some of the conditioning exercises can be tough, you are never pushed beyond your limits (although you are highly encouraged to try to push yourself!) so I always walk out feeling stronger and more confident. Personal training is great as well and is one-on-one way to really build up your strength and flexibility that you can bring back to the bags or to the ring. Highly recommend Champion to anyone interested not just in boxing but in a friendly, incredibly supportive environment where you can improve fitness and make new friends.

My fiancé had done a trial boxing class there this afternoon. Towards the end of the class a random man, not affiliated with the gym, walked in and started yelling at her to come to him. Her instructor was about to send her over, but a second instructor stepped in to ask if she knew this random man. She did not. The front desk person just told him to go away as this random man kept yelling, demanding she speak to him and that the staff couldnt stop him. The man eventually left of his own accord, but my fiancé was absolutely terrified and staff did almost nothing to handle the incident. According the manager, this man was from the halfway house down the street and sometimes shows up there. All they did was offer an apology as they tried to sell her on signing up for the gym. They did not call the police. Nobody even offered to walk her to her car to make sure this guy wasnt outside. Calling to ask what happened after she got home, the manager downplayed the incident, even denying the man yelling at her despite an assistant corroborating that this random man was yelling for her to come over here and no other apology was offered.The way this situation was handled is completely unacceptable and she does not feel safe ever going back there, let alone taking another class.

I am coming up on seven years as a member of Champion and I love everything about this gym. The classes are great. My body changed when I started boxing and I have never felt stronger and more in shape. Each workout is a total body workout and there is no feeling greater than a really hard, effective punching combo—it provides a huge stress relief. The staff and members are incredibly nice and welcoming. Everyone is low key—no fancy work out clothes and makeup or jewelry at this gym! It’s fun to go work out when you know you will see friends who you have made in class. The teachers mix it up a lot in class so the workout is never boring. And the great thing about boxing and kickboxing is that you can always dial up or dial down the workout depending on how strong you are feeling. It’s all about how much you put into it. The teachers are also all great trainers if you want some extra one on one—and those sessions help a lot for making the most out of a boxing or kickboxing workout. Bruce’s sparring class is also a ton of fun. The management is terrific—love Andy and his willingness to get the gym involved in supporting the community too. Johnny’s kids program is awesome and the boxing team also looks great too—though I am way too old for that crew! Highly highly recommend this place.

Good-natured teachers, staff, and gym members.The small business represents the best of the diverse community it serves, i.e. children, seniors, and everyone in between.Try diff classes - youll eventually find the rights ones that vibe w you.Theres a variety of workouts for lay folk like myself, but theres also muay thai, self-defense, personal training, etc...Fewer ppl come weekday mornings and midday. Perfect time to do your own thing like using the diff equipment/bags or just stretching.I appreciate how ppl are low key and have social graces.

Joining Champion Boxing & Fitness was the best decision I ever made for myself! I came in unhappy with my fitness level and looking for a place to get a full-body workout. Champion is all that and more! The classes are fast, intense, and leave me feeling stronger and more fit than when I came in. The instructors are energetic and care about you, and I am always greeted with a smile (and by name!). I LOVE Champions!!

Great gym. Great management. Kick-a$$ workouts. Good people. I used a Polar heart rate monitor, and after accounting for my age, height, weight, and gender, it confirmed that I was burning between 700-1000 calories per class depending on the instructor.

Champion Boxing is the best workout I have ever done. I have been a part of other boxing gyms in the past, but Champion Boxing is by far the best. It has toned my body, increased my strength and helped me reach my fitness goals. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a challenging, yet fun, workout!

I joined Champion boxing back in 2013 and loved the place so much am still here! Before joining Champion Boxing I had belonged to another boxing gym, and upon my initial visit noticed that this place was nothing like the other. The staff at the front desk is friendly and welcoming. They remember you by name and make you feel as if you are home, truly a difference when you had to drag yourself to the gym that day. Every single instructor at this gym takes pride in their classes. They are always prepared with combinations and burnouts to get your heart rate up in between rounds. They make sure to mix up each class to avoid making the workout repetitive or boring, a problem I have often had with other gyms. With such classes you will begin to notice results within the first few weeks. Now being with the gym almost two years, I can say that Champion has helped me become faster, stronger and gain more confidence. My husband, who normally is a runner, even saw how much I actually enjoy coming to the gym here and joined about a year ago as well! I would highly recommend this place to any family or friend.

Worth every penny.

Since joining Champion in November I’ve seen great results. I’ve lost over 10 pounds and many inches including a lowered body weight percentage. I’m pleased with all aspects of my membership. I’m telling all my friends about my results and hopefully they’ve noticed my hard work.

I was a former diehard fan of another gym and after being a member there for 2 year and not getting the results I wanted, I decided to step-up my workout routine by joining a boxing gym. BEST DECISION EVER!! I’m already seeing those results I wanted after just 2 months. Plus the instructors and trainers are so knowledgeable and the staff is so friendly. I definitely found my new home at Champions!!

It’s been 2½ years now since I was desperately searching for the perfect place where I could continue with my boxing classes and be part of an elite fitness program that would not only meet my needs but also challenge me to push beyond my physical and mental limits. My search ended when I entered Champion Boxing & Fitness. Champion has a friendly, inviting, and familial atmosphere; staff always have a smile and are ready to assist you in any way; the instructors are experts – each offering a different style and unique flair to their classes; the schedule caters to everyone; the facility is clean, well-equipped, and an exciting place to be; additional programs are available for those who want to take boxing and fitness to another level. If you’re a true boxing, kickboxing, and fitness enthusiast, ready to take on the challenge of each workout, then Champion Boxing & Fitness is for you too! You’ll leave each workout experience feeling like a true CHAMPION!!

My wife and I look forward to every workout at Champion - we have a ton of fun in class and always leave feeling great. I have been to classes with every instructor now and they are all excellent - each has a slightly different style, and that variety keeps the workouts interesting. I really enjoy the technique and skill involved with boxing/kickboxing, so that aspect of the gym is great, but I have also noticed a major improvement in my cardio endurance that has carried over to my main sports (running and cycling). If you want an intense workout that really utilizes your time well, I definitely recommend Champion.

My husband and I joined Champion Boxing & Fitness 2 months after moving to the area. We were members of an elite gym in NC with a great atmosphere and people, which we didnt believe we could find again. Champion Boxing & Fitness has proved us wrong. Each instructor has a unique way of teaching their class and offers us a variety of workouts in a week. The variety in workouts and instructors is nice since we go 4-6 days a week it does not get too repetitive or boring. Some classes are more technical than others and some are non stop, but each provides a great workout. We were beginners to boxing, but now are feeling more confident in our moves thanks to the great instructors. Ive never felt judged or embarrassed by my skill level, which is great when you are learning something new. I definitely recommend joining Champion Boxing & Fitness even if its just for a release at the end of a work day.

Champions has such a family atmosphere. I had to stop going for about a year and a half after a major back injury and when I came back the owner Doug still remembered me and greated me by name. You dont get that at bigger gyms. All of the trainers are amazing and will prepare you to meet any goal. The classes are intense and do everything they promise. Needless to say Im in love with Champions.

Review №37

Since joining Champion in 2012 I have increased my stamina, toned up and made friendships I wouldn’t trade for the world. The classes push you harder than you would push yourself in a regular chain gym but they’re kept intimate enough that the instructors work with you one-on-one and know and greet most of the regulars by name.The workouts are not what I would call easy, but they always give me a sense of accomplishment that lasts about 24 hours. Plus the results cannot be argued with. Yes, you still have to have discipline with your diet the other 23 hours of the day; no amount of sweating in a 60-minute kickboxing class is going to wipe out the calories from routine bad nutritional habits. You have to want to change, but Champion provides the best foundation for that change I have found. The gym and its wonderful instructors have helped me with appearance and athletic goals I would likely not have achieved on my own. I’m a member for life.

I live in a nearby building which actually has its own gym in it, but I still choose to come to this place for my fitness needs for the obvious reason that they have better facilities and they have everything that I need. They cost a little more but I guess you get what you pay for.

Review №41

I have been going to Champion Boxing for almost a year and a half. Having no previous experience, I found the staff, instructors, and members to be very accepting of those who have had no prior training. The fitness classes are a great workout regardless of your level and are a fun way to meet your fitness goals. In addition to being very passionate and knowledgeable about their sport, the instructors are very patient and helpful and will push you to reach your own maximum potential. Each instructor has their own flair, which keeps the classes fun and engaging. For those who wish to pursue and develop more advance technical skills, Champion Boxing offers many specialized classes including Krav Maga, Jiu Jitsu, and training for member competition night. I personally recommend the Krav Maga classes (with Guy) and one-on-one training with Joppy. I endorse Champion Boxing for any who is interested in exploring boxing or MMA, for either fitness or sport.
