MK Boxing

Fantastic experience: MK boxing gym is a really great place for everyone who want to start martial arts. The gym offers different kind of martial arts, and schedule who can fit with with any job schedule. The gym opens long hours and members have access anytime to gym and to any class with no extra charge. The staff are professional and patient, they always ready to help and work with any level. They always creat a great fun atmosphere for workout. I personally get excited to go everyday to gym, everyone is friendly, helpful and motivated. Great team and great staff hand and hand give good quality and result.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy the workouts I do at MK Boxing! It's a great cardio workout, and I'm learning to box. Mike is very knowledgeable in different styles of boxing, kickboxing, etc., so there is never a dull moment. I've taken classes and private lessons and I highly recommend trying it out. It's a welcoming gym and clientele and there are even kids classes.

Fantastic experience: I joined MK Boxing about 3 years ago and it was a great investment in myself for my health and my happiness. After a long day of work I look forward to different sessions at MK. There are a wide range of classes offering different disciplines from Boxing, Kickboxing, Jiu Jitsu, MMA, or Intense Cardio Workouts (all led by great, patient, experienced instructors). The classes are a great workout and always changing to keep your body in shape and challenged. The environment at the gym is excellent! Everyone is very friendly, and over time you make friends for workouts or sparring. The instructors are very nice and the owner Mike can been found training or even joining in on the workouts; it all helps the positive energy! There are people dedicated to the cardio workouts and challenging themselves and others focused on the fighting sports and sparring. It is a great mix to try both! Overall I give it 5 stars and I highly recommend that anyone looking for a gym or a new challenge try MK for themselves.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to MK Boxing for about 3 years now and wouldn't think of going to another gym. I can't say enough about it. I am in my 40's and feel stronger and better than ever. I take classes at MK 3 to 4 times a week and have had numerous instructors which all of them are all willing to teach you individually while the class is going on and they are all very patient. The gym itself is huge and very clean. They also have a weight lifting side of the gym that has all kinds of weights and machines along with the treadmills and bikes. I highly recomend this gym.

Fantastic experience: After being with the gym for almost four years now i can honestly say this gym isn't just your ordinary boxing gym. When you join this gym you are also join a family. This gym is a very friendly, personal gym. Everyone know you and you know them. You meet amazing people and on top of that you also get amazing workouts. They have different types of classes you can take such as Boxing, Kick Boxing, Muay Thia, MMA, and they also have conditioning classes. And the instructors are eager to help you improve and reach your full potential. Also the owner, Mike Knox, is an excellent business man and an excellent instructor. In the four years that i have been here Mike has had a huge positive impact on me and has honestly turned into family. And i would recommend this gym to anyone.

Fantastic experience: MK Boxing is the place to go when you want to get to work. I mentor a teenage boy with cognitive disabilities, and in the last 2 months have seen positive physical, emotional and mental changes in him. The owner and founder Mike Knox personally designs our workouts and coaches us with humor, discipline and expertise. The atmosphere at MK Boxing is professional and inspiring. The facilities are well-maintained and orderly and make it easy to slip into a workout.

Positive experience: Tried it for a bit. More of a glorified womens kickboxing class. Not good for learning real MMA or boxing.

Fantastic experience: By Far the Best Gym no matter your skill level. In the short time I have been taking classes there, I have come to love the place and the environment. Not once have i felt out of place, or even uncomfortable because of my in experience. the other members treated me as one of the gang from the first class. not only have I learned from Mike, but everyone is willing to critique each other while we train. I would highly recommend this Gym for everyone from beginner, such as myself, to experienced, 15-55 years of age. there is something for everyone who wants it! Thanks to Mike! BP

Fantastic experience: After 14 years of training in various martial arts, I was devastated to be diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. With my left side with partial paralysis, I was determined this wouldn't stop me from at least getting back in a gym and exercise. I tried to go back to some of my former martial art gyms but was told that they only had classes and not having people just come in and workout. My only option looked like one of the many non martial art gyms but that wasn't for me so I kept looking. I found MK Boxing in Woburn and explained my situation to Mike Knox. He let me come in and workout and pretty much just wanted to make sure I could use equipment safely. Well, 2 and a half years later, I'm still at it! Mike Knox and the other members of his gym, have been a great source of motivation and support in my fight with MS! The place is loaded with great equipment of all types. Weights, heavy bags, speed bags, various strength training equipment, and plenty of room! This opportunity to train there has really made a huge positive impact on my MS and overall health. So thank you everyone at MK and thank you Mike for creating the best boxing and MMA gym around!

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a gym while home from school for the summer, came across MK and loved their website, especially the virtual tour online, really gives a great view of the gym, MK is a great gym and I totally recommend it.

Fantastic experience: MK Boxing has been a second home to me for almost four years now. I cannot imagine what it would be like without this gym and the people I've met here. This gym is not only a place where you'd want to go to get a fantastic workout, but also a place where you'd want to mingle, meet new people, and have fun. The classes MK Boxing offers, such as Boxing, Kickboxing, MMA, and Muay Thai provide a new and challenging workout (something you would not find at a regular gym). The instructors are motivational, encouraging, and really push you do to the best you can, giving a fun, yet tough workout. A unique class at MK Boxing is the conditioning class, which is great if you want to build strength and endurance. By taking these classes, I have become more confident and healthier. In addition, I now feel like I can defend myself from all that I've learned and the skills I have gained from the classes. The people at MK Boxing are always welcoming, no matter what level, whether beginner or advance, you may be. I have made so many friends, and look forward to seeing and working out with them every time. The owners and employees are friendly, and make sure the gym is clean and safe for all the members. MK Boxing really presents a great opportunity for anyone who is looking for a new and different type of workout, that cannot be done at any other gym. Overall, the atmosphere at MK Boxing is rewarding. My experience at MK Boxing has allowed me to develop a better, healthier, and fitter lifestyle, while having a good time and meeting so many new people. I highly recommend this gym! It is well worth checking out if you haven't done so already!

Fantastic experience: In the fall of 2015 I signed up my fourth grade daughter to take the "Intro to Boxing" class held at MK Boxing in Woburn. She loved it so much that we are signing her up for the next class! From the first class, Coach Mike (Knox) was excellent. He expects the kids to try their best and encourages them to work hard all the while he noticing their effort praise. He is wonderful with the kids. My daughter wants to show him each class how much she's practiced and she does the very best she can during the 45 minute class. Her confidence has grown physically and mentally. We are more than happy to sign her up again. Coach Mike is a great teacher, pushing my daughter to work hard and do her best and she loves it!

Fantastic experience: Joining MK Boxing was one of the best things I've done for myself in a very long time. I cannot recommend the gym more highly. I've done various martial arts over the years, and I've been an avid gym goer for about a decade, so I knew exactly what I wanted when seeking out a boxing gym. I had recently completed a Tough Mudder and considered myself in pretty good shape. The classes at MK have taken me to a completely new level of fitness, however, and I'm learning to kick a little ass in the process. The gym itself has everything I want - heavy bags, free weights, kettlebells, mat space, and even esoteric stuff like truck tires and sledgehammers. And every instructor I've worked with has been knowledgeable, friendly, and dedicated. Although I initially joined to learn how to box, I've drifted into the kickboxing classes and can't say enough good things about Bobby and Thong. Mike Knox and his wife have cultivated a top notch program. Mostly, though, the culture at the gym is what keeps me coming back. I was a little afraid that a gym that trains fighters for boxing, kickboxing, and MMA bouts would be full of knuckleheads, but the total opposite is true. Everyone there is friendly, supportive, and there to work HARD. In fact, when I was checking the place out, I noticed that everyone I saw was sweating like hell and in excellent shape. That's what sold me. So in short, if you want to learn how to box/kickbox/grapple, or if you just want to get in sick shape, MK Boxing is an excellent choice.

Fantastic experience: Mike and his establishment MK Boxing in Woburn, are both exemplar; two of the many reasons Boston is the great city it is. I had the pleasure of taking the 12 noon boxing class while visiting home for the holidays. In an hour of training you can expect bag work; conditioning; sprints; combos with your paired partner; sparring inside the ring, and all in good company. Martial Arts attracts a certain personality type, so if you're looking to branch out from your normal gym routine and get fit quick, MK Boxing Gym is a great choice. It's a feel good kind of work out, and Mike does all the thinking for you. A consistent boxing regimen will gift you the energy and mindfulness to attack what life throws your way, even outside of the gym. Not to mention a better attitude. Come take a class with Mike or one of his staff members, they have a flexible schedule that can coordinate with your work day, not to mention the facility! Hubba Hubba! And ladies! I beg you to break out of your Zumba comfort zone and strap into some gloves and wraps. I've never felt stronger or happier, since doing so myself. Much love!

Fantastic experience: MK Boxing is a fantastic place to train. Mike and the staff work so closely and so well with the clientele that it makes the experience that much better. At MK Boxing, you can take classes in boxing, kickboxing, Jui Jitsu and Muy Thai. They also offer full conditioning classes with a boxing or kickboxing theme tied into some. The gym is open all day during the week from 9am - 8 pm or 9 pm depending on the day with an early morning conditioning class offered at 6 am. The price ranges are very reasonable and the classes you get at the gym are SO worth the membership. Mike has been training all ages for some time. Anyone from Kids to people in there 60/70s are welcome in the gym. (80s and above are also welcome if they want haha). Mike and the staff have also been doing a lot of work with recreation departments in the area. As you can see, MK boxing is more then just a boxing gym. You can receive all kinds of training here and I would 100% recommend this anyone in the Woburn area (or outside the area) looking for a place to train!

Fantastic experience: When you walk into MK Boxing, you are taken back by all the activity going on throughout the gym. The place is alive with activity, but at no point are the coaches not available to a new arrival to stop and answer questions. The coaches and other staff are friendly, knowledgable, and willing to help you out with anything, whether a technique, spot in the free weight area, or when the next class you can attend. The gym, overall, has everything a person wanting to improve their physical fitness level could ever want and then some. Kettlebells, olympic bars, smith machine, flat benches, jump ropes, heavy bags, speed bags, the list goes on and on. I go about 4-5 times a week and enjoy my after work workouts each time I go in. I have been a member for two months now and cannot say enough about Mike Knox and the staff at this facility, and would recommend this facility to anyone and everyone.

Fantastic experience: The best boxing gym around no question!!!! Great group of people, and an even better owner. Mike Knox knows how to run a gym! I don't see how you could possibly give a bad review!

Fantastic experience: I've been boxing for over 30 years and for the last 8 years I've had the great pleasure of being a member of MK Boxing. This summer I won the Ringside 2015 World Championship in the Masters Division and MK Boxing helped me achieve that - I couldn't have done it without them. Owner Mike Knox, instructor Justin Piper and fellow member Christian Berrios have sparred with me and helped me train for all of my tournaments. Whether you want to compete or just get in shape there are trainers in all Martial Arts forms to help you meet and exceed your goals. Thank you Mike and the team at MK Boxing for all the great training.

Fantastic experience: "I recently got out of the military and needed to find a gym that could match the training intensity I was used to. MK Boxing exceeded my expectations. They offer numerous classes daily to fit any schedule and the instructors are friendly, helpful, and knowledgable. The facility is top-notch. Everything you need or want for a good workout is provided and place is spotless. Great people, great gym. Really glad I found it."

Fantastic experience: From the time i walked into MK boxing 6 years ago i knew this was the right place for me. Mike the owner welcomed me and made me feel so comfortable. Having signed up to multiple gyms and never committing to even showing up twice a week, there was never any structure. I had to find something that would make me love going to gym , MK Boxing was definitely the right choice.. Mike really helped me with my conditioning esp with me having Asthma. He Pushed me enough for me to recover quick. I stopped using my inhaler after months of working out 4-5 Times a week weight kept coming off working out become fun and part of my daily life. The workouts are fun, the fellow members are inspiring, the workouts are led by personal trainers who give hands on instant feedback and adjustments during the workouts and just the right amount of encouragement. The atmosphere is awesome. You will not do the same workout twice and if you go you will see the results no question. It’s a life changing gym experience . Don’t hesitate sign up for a beginners class you won’t regret it , i am in the best shape of my life i would not have achieved that if i had not joined MK boxing. I will forever be part of this gym family and I recommend it highly to all my friends and family. Thank you MIKE for always pushing me.

Fantastic experience: great atmosphere. teachers laid back but talented. They know when to correct/make intermittent suggestions. would 't come here if I wanted to get a title fight in MMA. But having 30 years martial arts experience and wanting to find flow, this is the place to go!

Fantastic experience: Boxing with Mike, the owner, is my favorite workout of all time. It's unlike anything else: cardio conditioning, strength building, speed working, and you also get the incredible benefit (and confidence) of learning how to defend yourself in the real world. I can't recommend Mike and MK Boxing enough!

Fantastic experience: Great instructors

Fantastic experience: Joining this gym was the best decision I have ever made without a doubt. I cannot thank Mike enough for what he's taught me. All the coaches are great. When I came here I had just quit cigarettes and couldn't do two full push-ups. Within about 3 or 4 months I could run two miles. I could go on and on about how great this place is. It literally changed my life.

Fantastic experience: Been going to MK for almost a year and absolutely love it! Mike makes the classes not only challenging , but fun and interesting as well! As a personal trainer I’m always looking for other outlets to challenge my own training and MK is a great fit for anyone ! Highly recommended Mark Ferrara

Fantastic experience: You want to get fit? Lose a few lbs.? MK is your best bet! I also recommend it to my patients to diffuse stress. Check them out I promise you won't regret you did. Dr. Al Costanza

Fantastic experience: In a time where fitness is the rage and massive 'gym factories' are popping up everywhere, it is refreshing to find an independently owned gym where the owner is intimately involved. Mike truly cares about his clients and has all of the equipment to help you with your individual needs. A great gym and a GREAT guy!

Fantastic experience: I have been at MK Boxing for 4 years and have to say that the programs, instructors, and people are top notch. I’m there for both boxing training and cardio and am challenged every time. There is also an area with mostly free weights that allows you to do strength conditioning. It’s a friendly atmosphere with no roid rage. To me it’s a gym that you can look forward to going to. Something memorable seems to happen just about every night. 5 stars.

Fantastic experience: A little background about me. I am a twenty-something year old female who for the longest time could never commit to a gym or a steady workout routine. I would get easily bored after a while with running on an treadmill, taking yoga classes...etc. I saw an ad for MK Boxing and thought I would try out boxing. I started taking the kickboxing classes Wednesday nights, then added in Muay Thai on Tuesdays, and if I was ready for an extra-intense workout I would go Sunday mornings, where Mike the owner taught the kickboxing class. Besides the classes being great (hard workout, awesome instructors), the main reason I could FINALLY commit to a gym was because of the people there and the small gym vibe. Mike and others would ask me if I was going to go to class tomorrow, and it made me feel like I belonged there and having peers expecting me to be there encouraged me to go on a regular basis. This was different than my normal gym experiences where no one knew who I was/cared that I showed up. This gym makes you feel like you are a part of a family. Now that I have been at the gym for basically a year now, I feel that I have improved tremendously. The classes are great, you learn the fundamentals of boxing, kickboxing...etc. and when you master those, the instructors begin to incorporate more advanced techniques to help you further progress. If you don't want to do the classes, there is a small weight area where you can work out, a ring where you can spar others, and heavy bags to practice on. I highly recommend checking the gym out, or even looking up MK boxing's website where you can view the layout of the gym and read about the instructors. If it is your first time, I would suggest trying out Bobby's kickboxing class on Wednesday nights, or Dennis has a beginners boxing class that really focuses on technique. Bonus!! If you are a big dog lover like me, there is a slight possibility you might get distracted from working out because of the gym mascots, Baylor and Moose, who are sometimes at the gym!

Fantastic experience: MK Boxing is a great place.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at MK for a year now and wouldn't think of going somewhere else! Between the amount of gear and equipment, and the great people, I love this gym. A few things about MK: -MK is certainly a mixed martial arts gym. At first sight most of its members come in for boxing. MK offers kickboxing, Muay Thai, and Jiu Jitsu classes that are legitimate classes taught by instructors who are experienced by either being current fighters or who have previously fought and now teach. These are not those typical cardio classes that you see advertised elsewhere. The classes are not directly aimed towards training someone for a fight. You will learn basic skills and techniques and if you're willing to learn can definitely pick up more advanced techniques which you can apply if you want to actually train for a fight. There are a few instructors and members who may be willing to train you for a fight, just ask around or ask the owner. There are also cardio kickboxing classes and other conditioning classes that are great workouts that are more creative than what you may usually think of. -Sparring: MK is one of the only, if not the only gym around that allows sparring and contact between members. Title boxing, ilovekickboxing, etc will not offer this as it's a liability and members are to adhere to whatever is being taught in class. The only other types of gyms that allow sparring are mma gyms that are geared towards training you to be a fighter. MK's boxing class has designated days for sparring unless the instructor adds sparring onto other days as well. There are no specific kickboxing or Muay Thai sparring days at this time though MK allows any of it members to spar, meaning if you have a partner at the gym who wants to spar, you can use the ring or cage if it's free to spar on your own time. Grappling is done during jiu jitsu or with a partner on the mats, or in the ring or cage. -Equipment: MK has a weight area and typical gym machines to use at your leisure as well kettle balls, ropes, a sled, tires, etc. There are mitts, shields, and body pads to be used in both the classes and on your own time with a partner. There's plenty of heavy bags as well as a variety of other bags (wrecking balls, speed bags, double end bags, etc). All of these are open to members at any time unless there's a class that are utilizing most of that area or equipment (though there's still plenty space and equipment to use). -Facility: this gym is not a chain, but has one owner. Equipment will range from a few years old to some newer stuff. This means that it's members definitely use the equipment. It's a gym, there's sweat, it's going to be hot, and slightly smelly. You're not going to walk into a top notch facility, but you are going to walk into a much larger one that has many options. There are locker rooms with showers too. -Members: there are many regulars who come to MK. Everyone is friendly, willing to help you if you have a question, and willing to workout with you depending on what the planned workout is. I probably say hi to 90% of the people I see in one day when I'm at the gym. A lot of us know each other by name, some of us are friends, and overall it's a positive environment! You can probably hear me laughing across the gym anytime I'm in because we actually enjoy our time at the gym and have fun. The gym is very male heavy, but there are a few women who come in on a routine basis. The guys here though are not meatheads like a lot of other gyms. And if you are a female, like me, will not make you feel uncomfortable. And if for whatever reason there is that person who makes you uncomfortable, just let an instructor or owner know. They'll nip that in the bud real quick. MK is overall a great place to go whether you are looking for a great workout or want to learn mma techniques. Whether you are a beginner, or someone with experience who wants an affordable gym they can go to workout on the bags or do partner work. Whether you want to take a class or workout on your own. It's pretty much my second home! Check it out!

Fantastic experience: Mike at MK Boxing runs a top rate facility and gym. It is not just about boxing, he offers many outstanding programs. Along with a great staff of knowledgeable people, anyone who wants to stay fit needs to check it out. This is not a “pick it and put it down” gym, it learning and training.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Great owner. Very passionate about his clients and employees

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a challenging and fun workout check out MK Boxing. I took the group class and did some personal training with Mike. I would recommend both. It's definitely not your average boring workout. Whether you are looking to lose weight or get more fit and strong, MK Boxing is the right place for you.

Fantastic experience: MK Fitness is a great gym. It's loaded with equipment and Mike, the owner, is a very personable and knowledgeable trainer. He teaches you the correct way to box, the correct way to use your hands, and proper footwork. I would highly recommend MK Boxing to people who want a great workout and who want to learn the proper techniques in boxing.

Fantastic experience: MK boxing is a great place, and I highly recommend this gym to anybody who can benefit from it. At a really difficult time in my life, I signed up and can honestly say it's changed my life in many ways. Whenever I need to get away I go to the gym and am surrounding with so many great people. Mr. Knox is a fantastic guy who really helps me out and makes me feel appreciated and loves to see improvement in all his customers. Deffinetly check this place out, you will not regret it. You will meet some awesome people and feel like 100 bucks.
