Counter Punch Boxing and Fitness - Ann Arbor

I have been working with Max, and he is excellent. He knows a lot, and he can explain things very well. He pushes you, but at the same time, he makes sure it is fun. Highly recommend him.

I've been working with Jake for, I'm not even sure how long now but several months and his enthusiasm has guided mine in turn. Even through huge personal struggles he's acted as a voice of reason and a true mentor. I would recommend this gym to absolutely anyone and i love going.

I trained with Max for a few months but had to resign due to personal financial reasons. Max is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The space is very clean, professional and well equipped. He designs the sessions to fit your personal needs anywhere from beginners to competitors. Really enjoyed my time here. Learned a lot and really upped my fitness and self defense game. Great family man and ex champ. Would highly recommend for anyone with passing interest in boxing, fitness or striking.

I drive over an hour to train with Max (Counter Punch) at least two times per week. I wrestled in college and decided to do personal lessons with Max so I could develop my striking skills. I’ve learned bad technique in wrestling, and realized how long it takes to correct, so doing personals with Max gives me the peace of mind that I’m learning effective technique from the beginning. I feel very comfortable working with Max, and look to have him in my corner as I transition into competing in MMA. I have faith in his boxing and fitness methods, and have seen an ideal amount of technical and physical growth since working with him.

I consider myself to be relatively fit, but have been looking for something to “shock” my body and shake up my workout routine. I just got home from my 1st 1:1 personal training with Max and he is amazing. He is patient, listens to your goals, friendly, professional and skilled! He definitely was patient with me. I have a lot to learn, but loved my first class & I already signed up for. 2 more!I know my strength, cardio and skills will improve working with Max. I highly recommend Counterpunch if you are looking for a boxing gym and to get in shape. 🔥 🥊Thanks! RB

Counter Punch is the best boxing training center in the area, hands down, for fitness boxing as well as competitive boxing. Coach Max is an ex-boxing champion who has great ring experience and taught me real boxing technique to get me ready for the ring, and helps us reach our all individual boxing goals. The facility is super new, clean, and stocked with training tools!

I met Max when I was looking for a workout routine to get me in shape for my wedding. I had never boxed in my life and he was super patient with me, teaching me technique and combinations all while getting in a great cardio and core work out. I loved his classes and the results I got. When Max told me he was opening up his gym, I couldn't wait to stop in. I love the new place which is great for the boxing classes I can't get enough of but also a great spacing for strength training and self-defense. Max is an awesome teacher who keeps it fun while keeping you motivated to always get that last punch in. His classes are perfect for all experience levels because you can learn the technique and go at your own pace. Highly recommend!

I started boxing with Max a couple years ago at another gym. Max was by far my favorite trainer so I was SO excited to hear that he was opening his own gym. Max keeps the classes fun while also teaching proper form and technique (which is important to me), plus it is a great workout!Counter Punch is great for any skill level and fitness goals you may have, and they offer a variety of classes and training packages. If you are looking for a great workout in a great environment with a great trainer then I highly recommend Counter Punch!

You have to try this gym. It's perfect, brand new location, very clean. I am so happy to have found it. I have never been very good at working out on my own, or forming a regular routine; I've tried working with a few trainers at Lifetime, and ended up cancelling that this January to train at counter punch; his classes are FAR more personalized, and his feedback on progress are so helpful. I couldn't be more pleased. Max is a fantastic trainer. I've learned so much about technique, and what exactly I need to do to trim up. It's been really refreshing and very motivating. I highly recommend this gym whether you're just starting, or looking to maximize your skills. It's ace. 🥊🤘

10/10 VISIT THIS GYM- Max is a total pro whose passion and knowledge base is unmatched in the Detroit area. Extremely flexible workout times so this gym is perfect for someone on the go, or someone who wants to take their time and build a solid foundation for fun/self defense or to pursue a professional career. Great pricing and top of the line coaching/techniques from a former pro-athlete.
