I originally had nothing but love for this place. I felt like the trainers were really passionate about their work, it was generally inclusive and it was empowering for me. BUT, I would not recommend it AT ALL due to communication and professionalism over a year later.I have been trying to get a refund on a double charge that happened in January for 7 months now! I've stayed pretty consistently in contact with Chris via text and/or email with their admin and all I get are run-around excuses about their payment processing being down, or more often, no response at all. As a small business owner myself, I would be mortified if I had someone reaching out to get an $88 refund for 7 months.There is so much more to this saga that I don't have the patience to write out here. But all in all it includes 20 days of 20 individual text check ins and 5 emails on 5 different days to admin over the past month. And finally 25 minutes on a call with my bank to dispute the charges today.I'm noticing that there are a ton of other 1-star reviews that are similar to mine that I wish I would have read before signing up.

Knockout Fitness has some great trainers that will meet clients wherever they are, whether your coming from another sport or the couch or something in between. They take you through guided sessions and help with technique and conditioning. The sessions are pretty quick and you'll definitely get a workout. Highly recommend.

I joined Knockout Fitness before the pandemic, but just wasn't coming consistently. My head wasn't in it. Then, the pandemic came. And once the pandemic slowed, I injured my knee. When I asked to cancel my membership, Chris asked if there was a reason. I told him of my injury and my struggles to keep up with the high intensity of the workouts. He expressed the anticipation of some low-impact classes and offered personal training. I declined only since I had already committed with another trainer at a gym closer to my home. He cancelled my membership without any issue. Fast forward a year and I missed the environment of Knockout Fitness. My knee recovered enough to get back into it and the staff here have really helped me to get back into my groove. I absolutely adore Pat Cremen. He is so kind, accommodating and will push you to your limit (of course, within reason). The energy here is unlike anywhere else and I am so happy that I rejoined.

Deciding to join Knockout fitness was one of the best decisions I ever made. I was always someone who didn't care much about fitness and was intimated to go to the gym, but Knockout changed all of that. I joined wanting to try something new after the pandemic and am thrilled that I did.Chris and Jason create an environment for all levels of fitness and are full of encouragement. You'll hit every muscle group and improve your fitness more than you can at any other gym. There are a variety of classes to choose from, but rest assured, no matter what class you pick, it'll be taught by instructors that care about you. Knockout deserves nothing less than 5 stars.Going to Knockout improved both my mental and physical health. My doc says it's the healthiest I've been, my friends say it's the best I've ever looked, and it's the most confident I've ever been.If you're looking to start your fitness journey or already experienced, I can't recommend Knockout enough. After just a few classes, you'll be hooked.

Knockout fitness is for EVERYONE. I went into this studio with zero background in boxing- and have come out stronger not only mentally, but physically as well. The classes are the perfect mix of HIIT to get your heart rate up, and boxing. The instructors will make you feel like you belong in the gym - they will push you to do better and encourage you to work hard. This is the most motivating gym environment I have ever been in.I was super nervous going into this gym for the first time knowing not a single boxing move- but everyone makes you feel welcome and they show you every move in detail. An instructor will help you when they see you confused, and you wont feel like an outsider.I cannot recommend Knockout Fitness enough. This gym changed my life for the better and I see myself as a better athlete since joining.

Loved the classes, the instructors are great and will keep you motivated.But reading the other reviews just now, a lot of people are having problems canceling their memberships. I did too and didn't mind it because technical issues can happen but it seems like it's been happening often and for a long time. So not really any excuses that it isn't fixed yet.

The good: Fun classes, good sense of community.The bad: I join a chorus of others who keep being charged for classes despite following the contract. I had two doctors notes for broken bones/injuries and I was charged for those months. I finally got an email response which was obvious that they hadn’t read my previous emails. When I moved out of the area, I followed my contract to cancel. I unfortunately have been charged 3 months out and have had to dispute with my bank.I cannot in good faith recommend this gym given my experience and other reviews, which is a shame because there’s so much potential within the neighborhood.

Absolutely LOVE this gym. I used to hate working out, because cardio was so boring (the usual stuff like the treadmill). HOWEVER you will NOT be bored with the workouts here! Boxing classes are challenging but super fun - even if you’re a beginner. HIIT classes are amazing as well - you can def get your cardio in, but you can also build muscle! I’ve seen some really impressive results, lost a lotttt of weight, and put on a lot of muscle from taking classes here. I’ve been a member for like 2-3 years, and I actually look forward to my workouts now. Highly recommend!

Knockout fitness is an incredible gym! Recently our businesses had the opportunity to partner for a Botox and Boxing event. It was an amazing experience for everyone involved. All of the clients raved about the class and their instructor Jason! Everyone was so positive, supportive and we all had a great time with Knockout Fitness. If you need a place to have an incredible workout with great instructors, go to Knockout! You will not regret your decision because this is a true 5 star experience!
