I love this place, I had never been to a gym in my life, I always exercised at home but from the first day I was delighted, I am not only feeling and seeing physical changes, but also mental ones, I love the instructors, they are all very respectful and friendly, although I must admit that my favorite is MontrellšŸ¤­ his seriousness when it comes to exercising makes me put all my effort, but in general they are all excellent, I also really like the fact that most of the time only women attend and although I don't have problem with men going, I feel more comfortable training among all women. I highly recommend Jabs.

Had an amazing fitness experience at Jabs during the PattiBus. Armond brought the energy and I threw my hands to the bag. The music was on point which is a big thing for me when I'm working out! Thanks so much for the cardio and I will be back. In true Armond fashion he showed up with his shirt off šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£. ā€¦

The Tuesday night Kickboxing class with Sydni is right up my alley. I love the high energy music, the choreograpgy, and the black lights. I especially love her positive energy and ability to read the room. She is always sure to remind everyone that there are "No wrong moves" and to take it at your own pace. It is a great workout and anxiety release at the same time. Just signed up for my second batch of ten classes, and looking foreward to continuing over the months to come.

Response to owner: First off you do offer cross training. It is indeed cross fit! I was asked by a trainer when signing in ā€œhave you ever tried cross fit and do u feel stronger?ā€ So u tried itā€¦ second, duh I have been to the location in eastern market, otherwise I wouldn't have left a comment under this specific location if I hadnā€™t been there, nice try again. Also Mea lee isnā€™t my real name so of course u wouldnā€™t find it in the system šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚. Ur just proving my review to be accurate. You donā€™t get to know people personally. You guys just care about money.I started CrossFit training here. I am a beginner. Im aware nothing happens overnight. I love the workouts and how good I feel after doing them. I plan to do it three times a week. However, the trainers are not very good/helpful. Really itā€™s a little pricey for a 40 min class. Especially when they donā€™t try to get to know you, your body type, your fitness level or your diet. As a beginnerā€¦ I KNOW NOTHING! I had some cramps last and Iā€™m in so much pain/ soreness! I had to do research on my own to learn a lot about CrossFit. I feel when u join a gym the coaches should help you to improve your posture and your form. Iā€™m not even sure if they are CrossFit certified. I felt judged my first day by all the people who are more advanced. Obviously that didnā€™t stop me from going but itā€™s crazy how when you are starting they expect you to know and follow everything that everyone else is doing. I had to take an ice bath after my second day! Iā€™m lifting too heavy and they just watch you struggle. Iā€™m going to keep giving it a try and if nothing improves Iā€™ll move on.Edit: these classes arenā€™t personal at all. They donā€™t ask about your progress. Itā€™s more like a ā€œhere, do thisā€ type of class. Itā€™s not a ā€œcan you do this?ā€ type of thing if you know what I mean.You say your a beginner and their response is : ā€œokayšŸ˜ā€¦.ā€ ā€¦.. šŸš¶ā€ā™‚ļø*trainer walks always ā€¦. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚Iā€™m learning a lot and nothing at the same time. Itā€™s teaching mental toughness. Itā€™s a challenge. I was mad today for a lot of personal reasons and it was motivating! I like it and ima be back next week.Edit: Went back realized itā€™s not at all what Iā€™m looking for I need a personal experience. I made no changes physically. Honest waste of cash. These classes are for elites, not beginners.

JABS gym is the place to be! The Kickboxing class is my literal therapy session and I look forward to going to it each day no matter how tired I am. As someone who has never been very consistent with fitness, I can say that the instructors and classes at JABS have changed this for me and have motivated me. JABS has high-energy, skilled, and passionate instructors. I highly recommend it to anyone, regardless of your fitness level. Happy to continue being part of the amazing JABS family ā¤ļø

Iā€™ve been attending Jabs faithfully for several years now. I was initially drawn to Jabs because of Armondā€™s enthusiastic, organized, and effective stewardship of Run This Town, and believed he could translate the momentum of RTT to an extraordinary brick and mortar fitness experience. Since then my experience here has only surpassed my initial expectations. From the collegial, talented, and dedicated Jabs Gym Team (Armond, Sydni, Montrell, Jordan, Dominic, CeCe, Argy, and Mike the maintenance man) to the light-hearted atmosphere, and challenging, go-at-your-own pace classes ā€” I can say that my experience has been more than rewarding. My fitness level (cardiovascular, endurance, and strength) has improved leaps and bounds and, whatā€™s more, I feel like I can do more with my body than I could several years ago. More importantly, I feel like with each class, with each drop of sweat, and heavy breath, Iā€™m improving my health and, as a result, extending the amount of time I get to spend above ground with my wife and children. What keeps me coming back, in addition to the aforementioned, is the realization that fitness is a journey where there is always room for continuous improvement. Jabs creates an inviting atmosphere that enables each person to further their own fitness journey, no matter the age, size, color, or fitness level.

It's rare I leave a review like this but I wanted to leave an honest review, from someone who is a boxer and fitness instructor and trainer.I took a "kickboxing" class here- this is NOT where you would go to truly learn to box. A review here says this is for elite boxers, that is definitely not the case (and thats ok)!The instructor was clear on the mic, however did not demo a single movement. There were new people in this class who had never done this- I dropped in from out of town so technically I was one of them- when you have new people you really need to take a few mins before or at the beginning of class to demo the moves. I had to watch the person next to me as if this were a dance fitness class I were just trying out.If you want to sweat, "kickbox" to the beat of the music- sure, this is for you and it can be a good workout.If you are looking for a more dedicated fitness class where you learn something, or learn to box, this would probably not be the place for you.I have not tried their crosstraining, but reading reviews I bet it's good! Seems like that is where they shine.I personally wouldn't go back, but I really could see how for some people, to learn the "choreo" of the kickboxing class and keep coming back could be exactly what they want. The staff was nice but not overly attentive, however for true newbies to your gym I'd suggest giving them more attention.

I really liked this place! The teaching is great and the instructors are excellent. The classes are exciting and offer me a good cardio workout. Compared to kickboxing classes at Equinox, this gym is very cost effective but still with good quality. However, the main problem is the front desk clerk, I believe his name is Domienice. He charged me $20 for a daily pass even though I had a 5 class pass that I had not used yet. I understand that simple mistakes can happen, so I didnā€™t make a big deal of it.However, the front desk clerk stated that he would call me after talking to the head training, but he never called me back. When I called the next evening, the same front desk person answered and hung up on me mid conversation when I asked when I could expect his return call. I called back twice and he hung up both times without answering.I cannot believe that this is the level of service that this gym offers. I really liked the gym, its programs, and instructors. However, the dysfunction and lack of professionalism in the front desk is making me reconsider if I will ever go back.
