World Boxing Gym — Local services in Jersey City

World Boxing Gym has been a true disappointment. Not only does boxing barely take place at this gym, but equipment is outdated and they have ridiculous rules in place. The workout environment here is really bad and the management is poor as well. Several of the front desk employees are very rude too. My husband and I have had a membership here for over a year and when we decided to cancel it recently, I called the gym asking how to go about cancelling my membership. The employee I spoke with told me I didn't have to do anything besides tell him, which I did. He assured me I would not get charged for any future payments. Well, he was wrong. We were charged for 2 more monthly payments so we called the gym back and were told we were supposed to notify management in writing that we wanted to cancel our memberships - something the first employee we spoke with never shared with us. Now, they refuse to give us our money back for the last 2 months. They are grimy just like their outdated, nasty equipment and environment. The only good things are Tom at the front desk plus Patrick and Justin as trainers. Unfortunately, as a whole I cannot recommend World Boxing...

Today I was GREETED by the OWNER accusing me of leaving a bad review. I was signing in and he swore he had evidence that I used a fake name/photo and left a bad review. I was caught very off guard as he came at me in a very aggressive manner. I answered him and told him I did not leave a bad review (because I did not) and made it very clear he was in the wrong. He then realized he was attacking the wrong person (he should not be attacking any CUSTOMER who left a bad review, he should be asking why and how he/the gym can improve). I asked him to show me the review, as I have never left a review online in my life (besides right now) and he responded “I do not need to explain or show you anything.” Horrible, horrible, horrible ownership (the rest of the staff is great). Attacking a customer is never the answer in any situation, let alone being completely wrong about the situation and never apologizing. I feel bad for the staff who has to work under an owner who cannot take ownership. Outside of that great equipment and the rest of the...

I like it here. It's pretty no frills, low-key... but that doesn't mean it's outdated. Okay, so some of the machines look old, but everything is usually functioning! There are 3 floors: 1) mostly cardio machines and some weight machines and free weights; 2) more weight machines (that I can't figure out how to use and am too embarrassed to ask) and free weights, about 7(?) punching bags and a boxing ring (I think only allowed if you pay for the special boxing classes); 3) a small studio for yoga classes, which also has a few free weights and mats and 2 spin bikes. Overall, lots of things you can do. Best of all, it's never thattt busy! Plus, a free parking lot? In Jersey City?? 8D The amenities aren't anything fancy, but free towels and a locker room (with a scale) are really all you need. Relatively cheap for Jersey City (even though it's kinda in a far corner on Division St) and good hours and friendly staff and you have me sold. Minus one star only because the first floor is always so...
