Fantastic experience: Great gym! I’ve trained all over the north east. It’s rare to find such a professional and knowledgeable gym, where everyone is treated like family.

Fantastic experience: This place is more then just a gym, its a second home, because you are taken in as family no matter what your skill level is. I cant say enough good things about Recon,the staff,and the owners. This is the gym to be at and SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESS. -Jimmy

Fantastic experience: My very shy, introverted 15 year old has recently taken in interest in the art of MMA. Everyone at the gym have been responsive, professional and have welcomed my son with open arms! I would recommend this gym to anyone who has in interest in MMA or simply want to work out with a great group of people and trainers! Thank you Recon!

Melissa Grady 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: On May 13th I walked into Mandy’s Beginners boot camp for the first time feeling the worst I had ever felt about myself. I was not only the heaviest I’d ever been, but I had lost all confidence and self worth. I won’t lie it took all I had to walk through the doors at recon fitness, but it was the best decision I could’ve ever made. Mandy has helped me regain my confidence by pushing me harder every class. If you are on the fence about joining a beginners Boot Camp or any class at recon fitness for that matter JUST DO IT!!!! It’s not like any other gym I’ve worked out. Everyone is so friendly.

Isabella Eastman 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Recon is unlike any other gym I have been to because it's the BEST gym! If you're like me at all - not the biggest fan of working out, hesitant on starting something out of your comfort zone, and overall self conscience but need to make that change for yourself - start with Recon. I have never felt so comfortable at a gym and I can honestly say that I look forward to going to the gym now... YUP! The trainers and coaches are super friendly/welcoming and genuinely care about you and your fitness journey. I started with the 8-week Beginners Bootcamp to learn the basic boxing techniques and I now have a monthly membership doing the weekly box-fit classes with Eric, and work with Mandy on the weekends doing personal training. You could say I'm addicted. JOIN RECON! You won't regret it.

Missy Rice 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love Recon! I went in 3 months or so completely new to anything boxing related. I was looking for something more exciting and challenging than just going to the gym and running on the treadmill. I was bored and not going to my old gym. I was welcomed with open arms and made to feel comfortable and supported. I now crave the workouts and attend 3-4 classes a week at a super reasonable price. I 110% recommend!

Fantastic experience: Recon is unlike other gyms, and that’s what makes it such an amazing place. From the moment you walk in the door, you are treated like you belong, because to them, you do. Whether you are a COMPLETE beginner looking for someone to guide you through working out for the first time ever, are training professionally, or somewhere in between, Recon has a class for you. They even have a kids program! The coaches are some of the best in their field, and encourage everyone to push themselves while having fun. No two classes are the same, and you will walk out with a sense of accomplishment, some great technique and a lot of sweat. There is no other gym that can even compare to what you get here. Recon is more than a gym, they are a family, and when you walk through their doors, you become a part of that family. I cannot recommend them enough!

Harold Blaisdell 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym, amazing instructors! I truly believe that this gym has saved my life, i feel better and actually lost weight for the first time in 40years!

Keira Ithomitis 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I found Recon through the recommendation of a friend, and I am very glad I gave it a chance. The trainers and staff are knowledgeable, supportive, and motivating. As I have grown, the classes remain a good fit, because they are designed to meet each participant at their current level. There is a deep sense of community and camaraderie, which keeps me motivated to come back. I would recommend this gym without any hesitation.

Steve Z 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: No matter what level you’re at recon can accommodate you. Go to recon and ask for Jon Duepree, Eric Wood or Darren Elder and I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Phil Hamilton 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Recon is rapidly growing because it's truly built for everyone. Classes intertwine experts with novices to create a fun, encouraging and focused atmosphere. You won't find a better gym community.

Theresa Foster 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love that they meet you where you are within your fitness ability in instructor led and motivated sessions and push you to places you didn’t know possible.

Julie L. 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Recon is amazing! After reading such positive reviews I tried out a free class here and was immediately hooked. All of the coaches and classes here are awesome and each is totally different. On the MMA side of the gym: Rob's MMA striking class is great and he will make you get comfortable in your opposite stance. Henry's submission grappling class is ridiculously fun and he is amazing at helping you jump into something that feels so completely foreign if you're new. Darren could not be more passionate about boxing and is so good about teaching you both the outer AND the inner game of boxing. In the kickboxing class Jon is all about proper technique so he will help you undo all the poor form you didn't even realize you were doing. Matt is a pro Muay Thai fighter who is approachable and a wealth of knowledge. In Jon's MMA striking class you get awesome instruction while doing really fun exercises and he will whip you into shape but with a sense of humor the whole time. On the BoxFit side: Mariel and Lilia lead super creative HIIT circuit classes that will make you sore for days. Mandy is a lovely badass and by the end of one of her intense classes you will be surrounded by a pool of your own sweat. Eric is hilarious and will push you to push yourself! If you spend any time here you'll quickly get a sense that Eric and Mandy work hard to make this feel like a community where everybody is welcome. They do this in terms of offering classes at really affordable prices, but more than that through the way they authentically interact with everyone who walks in the door. I was pretty intimidated about walking into a gym like this for the first time but it feels like an ego-free zone where you get the opportunity to learn new things alongside friendly people. It doesn't hurt that Chris at the front desk is incredibly welcoming and there's usually a sweet lab named Rio waiting to greet you. For first timers: -First class is free! (They have gloves you can use if you're not sure you want to buy them yet) -Don't believe Google maps' lies; the main entrance is off of Bridge St., behind Dunkin Donuts, not off of Bridgton Rd.

Fantastic experience: Community, trust, love, respect. Recon is an absolutely amazing place to train at the coaches/staff are very knowledgeable and always are so respectful and kind. They push you through limits and help you achieve goals higher than what you thought was possible. Everyone is a big family there and welcome every individual with open arms. 100% recommend to anyone with any goal at any fitness level for any sport.

Cody Saul 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: A great place to learn technique and grow as an individual. I came in knowing nothing about what I was getting into and they met me right where I was at with no judgement! Recon Fitness is the best

Eric Colby 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My Son and I both go to Recon Gym. My Son participates in the MMA classes and loves it!!! He came in with no prior experience and the staff and other participants welcomed him in and helped him not only get started but to grow in the different disciplines. He was only 14 when he started. I go to the fitness classes. being old and fat I started out in the boot camp classes and it's been great. I feel so much better and have more energy. I thought I would have to swallow my pride to attend but the instructor(s) are so great and my fellow boot campers quickly became friends. this place is warm and welcoming and I would recommend it to anyone at any fitness level or like me with no level :) Thanks Recon for giving me a place to start back on my fitness journey

Kayla Brennick 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Recon is more than just a gym, it's a family. Not only have I been pushed beyond my limits and out of my comfort zone, I have been welcomed with such warmth since day one. I love the wide variety of classes and the enthusiasm of every coach. I started at Recon to accelerate my postpartum journey and to my surprise it was one of the greatest transformations my body (and mind) has ever gone through. I'm now two months postpartum again and back at it. Whether you are a beginner or seasoned athlete, Recon is for you!

Marita Leach 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Recon Fitness for a few months now, and I absolutely love it. There’s something for everyone. The trainers are kind, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun to work with. If you’re looking for something new, I recommend checking this place out. You won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: I ❤️ coaching at Recon. We are a family of coaches and members who push ourselves while we care for each other. We’re all there to better ourselves. Makes me HAPPY.

Michael Burns 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I'm in much better shape now because of Recon! I'm down 15 pounds so far and love going. The atmosphere is great, people are friendly, and the different classes keep it interesting!

Beth Burke 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Want to get in shape but don’t want to do it alone? Recon is the place for you. It’s a community of people that are welcoming and come alongside each other to grow and to push one another to the next level. Every workout is different, and the coaches are great! Try it out! First class is free

Chelsea Grandmaison 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Recon has been the best thing for me both physically and mentally. I'm so happy that I decided to try out a boxing fitness class about 4 years ago - I needed something that would keep me committed to fitness and I've gotten that and so much more. I've grown such a passion for the sport that keeps me pushing harder and have made friends that are like family. The classes, the people and the culture are all so great, motivating and supportive!

Anthony Taiani 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I come from a background of weightlifting and bodybuilding and after a solid 10 years, I kind of lost my passion for it. I needed a new way to refocus my training and get back on track. I found my way to Recon and haven't looked back. I went in with virtually no experience in boxing or MMA, and was really apprehensive about starting. The minute I walked in the door and did my first class all of that faded. The coaches are more than happy to take the time to share their passion with you and help you grow in whatever way you need. Everyone there, from professional fighters, to weekend warriors is welcoming and glad to share their time and sweat it out with you. Recon Fitness is more than just another gym, it's a family. I am proud to be a part of the Recon family.

Celine Landry 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: From the first time I stepped into the space I was welcomed with open arms. Eric, Mandy, and the whole Recon team are truly supportive and motivating. A wonderful environment to work out in, clean, fun, and energizing. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great workout at a reasonable price!

Kathryn Linkins 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is a gym that is unlike any other you will ever go to. Not only will they help you in becoming as strong as you want/can be, but they will be unconditionally supportive of you as well. There is no judgement, only support and kindness here!!! When I am unable to go for any period of time because go life, I miss it in my soul. Come out here and try a class, not only will you live the fitness aspect of what is offered, but you will fall in love with all of the people here too!!!

Kayla Holcomb 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined the recon family 3 months after I had my baby via c-section, and it was probably one of the best decisions I made for myself. Having worked out all of my life, I knew that I needed to continue to fit in exercise around my new babes schedule. The recon team are PHENOMENAL people, who not only care about their gym, but every single person that comes through their doors! I was able to bring my baby and keep her in her seat or lay her on a mat while I took a class. I don’t know about you, but I haven’t found too many other options out there for new moms with little ones. That being said, if you are looking to workout somewhere where you don’t feel out of place, you leave more confident, stronger, empowered and even loved, then you need to check out recon fitness! Best decision you’ll make for yourself, guaranteed.

Alicia Vignoe 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: These boxing fitness classes are exhausting - exactly what I want for gym membership. The facilities are clean, the coaching is motivating while still allowing me to hold back or push harder when I need to, and there are two black labradors that are 12/10 amazing. They also have incredibly reasonable prices unlike every other boxing gym I've seen. There's not a great place to change especially when theres a lot of people using the locker room before class, so I would come already dressed for class. Bonus: it's close to Allagash Brewing.

nicole gribbin 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Recon since the summer and absolutely love all of their classes. The bag-fit classes are perfect for when I need a push and the 8 week bootcamps (I've done two!) keep me motivated. The space is clean and the people are amazing. It's a fitness family I didn't even know I needed. Beginners do not need to worry about not beibg familiar with or intimidated by the "boxing" aspect. They are happy to work on technique and even offer 1 on 1 trainings to help get you comfortable (John is awesome!) Memberships are affordable and help support a fantastic cause and community. I am so happy I found them!

Lilia Dupee 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a place to reach your goals and also learn a new hobby/sport this place is it! I started a year and a half ago going to fitness classes and now have started MMA classes. Both my body and mindset have transformed! There is a great sense of community and support here! You’ll get addicted quickly!

Corey Perkins 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Would 10/10 recommend Recon Fitness to anyone and everyone. Great gym committed to their members. Accommodating, community oriented, host to a variety of fitness levels, and a variety of classes based on both fitness and/or technique. I've never regretted going in!

Nicholas Bodlovick 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Recon Fitness is a life changer. Great positive vibes, amazing coaches, & a wonderful community to train with. For me Recon is my stress reliever. The moment I walk through the doors the stress that I have is no longer there, I’m able to let loose and be around a whole bunch of cool people who want to get a work out in. Not only is Recon a fitness center it’s also an MMA gym where you get to work with some of the best coaches in New England. Come check out Recon and see what they have to offer, I promise you you’ll be addicted to all the fun and exciting classes.

Eric Wood 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Walked in as an overweight 37 year old, with no experience. Grew confidence. Changed body and energy level. Learned technique. Had loads of fun. Now coaching. Best thing to happen to me and my family in a long time.

Paige LaFerriere 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love this place!! It’s a great place for beginners to start kick boxing while getting a GREAT workout it 10/10

Marielle Petrin 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Recon is far better than a gym, it’s a community that welcomes anyone. The coaches are exceptional; not only giving you the best work out, teaching you the correct technique (“safe and dangerous”), and challenging you to be better...but they are genuinely remarkable people. Whether you’re a pro or looking to try something new, there is a place for you at Recon.

Emily Roller 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: First let me say I never pictured myself in a boxing gym. And I definitely never expected to find such an amazing community here. I had never done any kind of MMA but started attending Boxfit classes and they're the highlight of my week! High intensity and a ton of fun, they're what I look forward to after work. Just took my first MMA class and absolutely loved it. Everyone's so supportive here and I've seen myself grow in confidence, technique, and endurance in the few months since I started. Take the free class :) You won't regret it.

Jacqueline Boudreau 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best community and coaches around. Every day is different at Recon; there is always something new to learn and new ways to be challenged all while in a fun, dynamic atmosphere. Wide array of class offerings; from Boxfit/Bagfit classes to MMA styled classes (boxing, striking, Muay Thai, BJJ/sub grappling) as well as Yoga. It is a mind/body wellness one-stop for anyone looking to up their training/fitness in any capacity.

Adam Hogan 5 years ago
