This gym is ideal for anyone with boxing/​MMA skills at ANY end of the spectrum. I walked into this gym with NO experience, and the instructors including Mike, the owner, were outstanding– motivating, welcoming, encouraging, and knowledgeable. They pushed you only until you reached your limit– but understand that every person has different abilities. And they made class FUN– not intimidating. Now, I unfortunately relocated a year ago and am forced to join another gym– which doesn’t even compare to this one! MK boxing is the real deal. I signed up for a new gym where I reside now (the other side of boston) & I think all of the gym members and instructors are surprised at my skills! All the credit given to wonderful instructors at MK. I have no regrets and joining was worth every penny. I never thought I would enjoy boxing, not to mention making great friends while I was there.

My 9 – 12 year old son is taking a class here. What an experience for him! He loves it and the teacher is the perfect blend of hard ass and patient. Demanding and complimentary. Most of all, he is teaching these kids good habits, self respect and discipline throwing in a good workout to boot!

I’ve been a member of MK Boxing for a little over 2 months now, and I absolutely love it. I was stuck in a workout rut and SO BORED of either outdoor runs or typical indoor gyms, and decided to give boxing a try. Mike, the owner, has been incredible at encouraging me and coaching me (I take 2 classes a week, plus one personal training session with Mike a week) and I have never felt more confident, fit and overall satisfied with my workouts. The gym is spacious and has PLENTY of equipment, and so far, every other member I’ve worked out with has been friendly and welcoming. Just a great group of people in an incredibly fun, non threatening atmosphere. Always looking forward to my next workout!

Ive been working out there for four years and highly recommend the gym to anyone who wants to get in shape and get in shape fast! I particularly like the noon time class.

I’m really surprised that there are bad reviews of this gym. It’s really open, not super-​crowded, affordable and far cleaner than a previous Boston-​area «boutique» gym I used to belong to. No Jersey-​shore wannabe «trainers» trying to sell their services while you try to work out.
They offer a good variety of classes, and I don’t feel too intimidated, as a woman, to participate. The customer service I’ve received has been very courteous and professional. I’m an adult, and read contracts before signing them, so I know that if I want to break the contract, I’ll pay a fine. (This is a real contract, people and the gym has every right to require it as it is a real business.)
Equipment is plentiful and well-​maintained, there’s always parking available, etc. If you are trying to train for pro– MMA or boxing, I don’t understand why you couldn’t do it here… you only get what you put in. Don’t blame the gym, blame yourself. Also, yes; women, EVEN MOMS do use this gym. We make up 50% of the world’s population, so yes, some of us will be at «your» gym. GTFO «gentlemen».

I’ve been training in martial arts for 20 years and I’ve never found a better workout then I’ve had at this gym. No gym has gotten me into the shape I’m in today like this one has.
Not sure what all the negative reviews are on here for. I’ve been a member at this gym for 3 years and I keep coming back because of the instructors, the owner and all the equipment the facility has to offer.
I’ve lost 40 lbs in the first year of going to this gym and it’s because of the training I’ve received. Furthermore, the owner is a great guy and does his best to help everyone at the gym.
The one thing I tell people that ask if this gym is right for the them is that they work with all skill levels. They also have kids classes.

TOTAL RIP OFF. You can not cancel. My daughter was a member for over 2 years. We gave a doctors note and was told that in order to cancel (even with a Dr. Note) we must pay a $ 150 cancellation fee… I explained that Ma. AG office says its illegal to charge a cancellation fee with a Dr. note. Mike the owner said he didn’t care and was going to put me into collections.
They will not let you cancel even if you have a valid reason. Be careful with this business .
Response to owner:
First off I never said that my daughter didn’t enjoy her classes or said they were poorly taught… My daughter was a member for 2 years and she only attended about 1 year of classes. She was absent from over 50% of her class witch I continued to pay for. After missing over 6 months straight I got a doctors note to excuse her from classes and my contract per MASS state law.
I honored my commitment and when it was time for you to honor your commitment you didn’t. You say «parent refused to compromise in any way» are you kidding? Your contract cannot charge for a $ 150 to cancel period.
AFTER RECEIVING MY DOCTORS NOTE YOU REFUSED TO ACCEPT IT AND THREATEN TO PUT ME IN COLLECTION. IT IS CLEARLY AGAINST MASS STATE LAW TO CHARGE A CANCELLATION FEE FOR A EXCUSED CANCELLATION… AFTER BEING A LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR 2 YRS YOU TREATED US LIKE STRANGERS WHEN WE HAD A RIGHT TO LEAVE.
Your contract is subject to MASS state laws but for some reason you think you can strong arm and intimidate your canceling members. She has since healed and is attending a martial art school that just isn’t in it for the money. There is a similar concern here regarding your contracts by many previous members.
BEWARE OF THIS BUSINESS .DON’T SIGN A CONTRACT !!!

Rethink signing a contract here. THEY DON’T CANCEL. First time in my life that I have come across a no cancellation policy, they charge you almost the whole amount to cancel that is if you haven’t moved «far enough».
This place has ZERO customer service, they are only in it for the money.

It is going on 5 yrs for me at mk boxing and I have to say I have finally found my home. I have been a member of many gyms over the last 30 years and never found that challenge of a workout that pushed me to the edge. This isn’t your LAfitness or BSC so if your looking for a fancy place of frills forget it this is where you will be
pushed to the limit and be very happy with yourself when your done. I have worked hard over the years to stay in shape, but never have I been in better shape since I came here. Everyone is so nice and helpful and it is a mix of people and there is NO intimidation here. The instructors are great and they are more than happy to take you to the next level if you feel you want to train for fighting. There are quite a few men and woman who have won their fights from this gym! Like any gym if your serious about working out you should give it a try to see if its for you. One thing for sure is you won’t get bored with the same stale workout all the time because it is always a little different.

TOTAL RIP OFF… MY RATE WAS $ 125 PAY AS YOU GO WHEN IT DROPPED TO $ 75 THEY DIDN’T TELL ME AND WOULD NOT GIVE ME MY $ BACK.
THE MASS AG’s OFFICE HAS COMPLAINTS ON FILE ABOUT THIS COMPANY. BEWARE !!!
When I approach the owner about the decrease in dues he told me I had agreed to pay the $ 125 thats what I must pay. If I wanted to resign up he would give me the new rate but I need to pay the start up fee of $ 150 again.
I was a member at MK boxing for about 3months. I found the place to be a total rip off. Classes that were to be taught by certain instructors very often got canceled and replaced by uniformed instructors.
Having had 10yr of martial arts prior to signing up I was hoping to get back into shape. However the knowledge of some of the teachers was limited. The ones that were good all left to go to other schools. I was told they only make $ 10 – 20 a session.
They teach all levels at the say
can a 10 yr black belt learn next to a student that was his first day. I witness a inexperienced fighter holding pads for a experienced fighter. the beginner didnt hold the pads correctly and got KO’
was very sad. they should have never been matched up together.
This is not a place that you want to learn from and then get into a street fight because you will get your head kicked in.
In response to owners claims… He says that
” We have had no cancelled classes at this gym. I am the owner of this gym, and we have not had a cancelled class in many months.“
Like I sad he has canceled classes then says he never cancels classes in months. Lots of double talk like his contracts.

After looking around for gyms in the Wilmington/​Woburn/​Burlington area, I finally settled here.
It’s got a great balance for beginners and some damn advanced classes if you can stick through it.
To give you background info, I’m out of shape. Badly. And I drink beer like it’s nobody’s business. And we aren’t talking Bud Light, we’re talking imperial stout beers. I love me some calories. And hated exercise.
The rates here aren’t bad, I signed up for a year and got some sort of promo discount and it ended up averaging to be about 65 $ a month for a year contract. Not a bad price at all.
They have classes all throughout the day. Tues and Thurs they open at 530 AM for a class. Otherwise they open at 9 I believe and close at 9 PM, with classes pretty much running right up to 830.
I went with beginner’s kickboxing, and the teacher Bobby has been damn demanding about it. He comes over, he corrects you, he encourages you, and he doesn’t let up for that hour. It’s just enough to keep me interested and coming back.
The class is definitely open to everyone though. We literally have a range of complete new people like me to tournament ready fighters in there. Even a pair of 12 year old kids trying to learn. It’s completely open, guys, girls, all ages, everyone’s pretty chill here.
Honestly, this is what I’ve been looking for in a gym. Come check it out.
