Hammer Fitness and Boxing: Opinions

Crybaby Cojones 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: A+ from Aaron. Classy and professional

Mary Hoglund 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Hammer Fitness enough! Both the private lessons and group classes are incredible. Boxing is an intimidating sport to learn but Johnnie and Brian will make you feel very welcome the moment you come thru the door and help you learn fast. I’ve never been in such great shape because of Hammer Fitness!

Fantastic experience: A real boxing gym with trainers that genuinely care about helping you achieve BOTH your fitness and self defense goals. This isn’t an Instagram gym where you’ll just hit bags under strobe lights. The trainers do a great job focusing on developing boxing technique. If your scared about coming in and getting clocked in the head - I can assure you everyone tries to help each other grow safely, and there’s no cocky attitudes. Really enjoy working with Brian and supporting this place. Thanks Hammer Fitness Fam! PS. All the coaches either actively box in competitions, or have past competition experience so they really know what they are doing.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym. I've really enjoyed my time at Hammer Fitness and Boxing, and Johnny does a great job of creating an awesome experience for all members. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Being a complete beginner, I was a bit nervous, but the instruction was incredible. Not only did I feel at ease, but the way my technique was analyzed and improved was impressive. For example, my uppercut felt weak and the suggestion was to just pretend I was doing a dumbbell curl...and whoa! what a difference that small correction made for me. The whole session is full of improvement tips like this. I'm really getting into it and may have a new fitness hobby.

Fantastic experience: I started taking the boxing group class here at the start of 2018 and I've had nothing but positive experiences since then. Very welcoming to beginners; it can be hard work but you also learn a lot - the facilities are also great. I'd definitely recommend Hammer to anyone who's interested in boxing fitness.

Fantastic experience: THIS IS THE GYM! Trying to look for a legitimate boxing gym for a while and after going through many gyms, this is the one. I called to ask about classes and the owner got in contact with me about what I was looking for. Johnny is one of the most down to earth guys and it's a family business with his son helping out. You can do all different levels of boxing and fitness from group classes to personal training to just doing your own thing. Brian led the class I tried out and it brought me back to the days when I used to box in upstate NY. Best boxing gym in the area.

Fantastic experience: New name but same results. I've been working out with Sean Block on and off for 5 years. He’s kept me in shape through 2 pregnancies and he’s currently helping me get back into shape after delivering twins 10 weeks ago. We work at my pace but I still get the motivation throughout my session that I need for the additional push. Their new location is clean, everyone there is friendly, and my favorite part is that it is not overly crowded when I am there for my personal training sessions. I have the ability to use the gym on my off days which is super convenient. The boxing lessons look awesome- maybe I will attempt them once I shed more my post baby pounds!

Fantastic experience: Great new location. The trainers are fantastic and very supportive. The gym is very nice and gives a great 1 on 1 approach to working out. I have been using the Hammer to get back in shape with some great results!

Fantastic experience: Great facility. Really patient and professional instructors. The lockers are clean and pristine and so far all the folks in my classes are very friendly. I've never not had a great experience here. Highly recommend them for beginner fitness and boxing.

Fantastic experience: Great vibe, great atmosphere. My trainer Johnny is the best.

Jenna Shallcross 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been boxing at this gym for close to four years now and I absolutely love it! Johnny is an amazing boxing coach and the community at the gym is second to none. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to not only get a good work out but also learn the skills of boxing.

Kevin S 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym, been boxing here for 1.5 years. The people make this place...very friendly members and exceptional trainers. Johnny, Robin, and Brian all have unique training styles, but will get your technique, speed, and endurance to the next level.

Hedda Høiness 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Unfortunately we had to leave Johnny when we moved back to Europe. He is the one person the whole family miss equally high! Excellent coach both for my husband and myself - and for our 16 year old son he was incredible. If you would like a fantastic workout, achieve new workout skills and get into shape - it is the place to go! And - if you want to give your kids some fun but hard training, in addition to teach them how to focus and how set and achieve goals - send them to Johnny!

Fantastic experience: Staff is awesome and they have a ton of experience and knowledge. They really push u to meet ur goals and help u find ways to maintain them. I LOVE this place!!! Very clean and well maintained equipment. If your serious about making real changes in your lifestyle and body this is definitely the place to go.

Fantastic experience: I started boxing training with Johnny Higgins 3 weeks ago and I’m already at a major improvement! He doesn’t rush the 1 hour sessions. He takes his time but does put you to extreme work which should want for good cardio and learning different boxing techniques. I recommend Johnny to anyone looking for a boxing training and personal training.

derrick aguis 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Awesome facility. Fantastic instructors and trainers. I’ve done boxing training and personal fitness training there and loved both. Much better than any of the overcrowded giant gyms with 20 year old “trainers”. Still very reasonably priced for a more private atmosphere and experienced professionals.
