My son likes to take boxing lessons here. I like that he can choose to take lessons without an expensive months long commitment. I'm able to pay per lesson, and I believe they hold lessons daily. My son is happy with the facilities. It's not just the reasonable price that keeps us going back to JJ's. I rated 1 star because of an unfortunate encounter with a man who seemed to be the owner, although he never identified himself as such. I arrived a few minutes early to pick up my son and got out of my car to wait. I had just spoken to my son, and I was about to walk over to the bar across the lot. The unidentified man stopped me because I had an unlit cigarette in my hand. He rudely asked me to go to the back of the building, I had no idea what he was talking about as he told me it was a "bad look" to have me out there. I realized then that he was referring to my unlit cigarette. I mentioned, as a paying customer, that it wasn't a great look for him to insult me in such a way and proceeded to do as he asked. He took issue with my being insulted and followed me to where he asked me to go and got in my face telling me he "didn't like a bad attitude", I did mention that I was doing what he asked and it seemed that he was the one wth the bad attitude, my mistake. I continued to try to walk away from him, but he kept following me and trying to instigate further argument. At this point, I was becoming concerned that he was going to get physical, so I just went to the adjoining bar parking lot and told him I would stay there and asked that he please leave me alone.
I'll add that I realize nicotine addiction is a bad habit, and it's something that I struggle with daily. I never smoke right outside business doors and find it completely reasonable for someone to politely ask me to go elsewhere if I'm disturbing them. However, in this situation, I was not smoking. He was rude and then threatening as I did what he asked anyway.
Needless to say, the situation left me flustered and had pretty much ruined a fine day. I'll probably start looking for other places to take my son as the thought of encountering this man again is unappealing, to say the least, and I don't like the idea of giving...
Read moreI recently started taking my 7yr old to the kids boxing classes. My son has cerebral palsy and Jerome made it a point to tailor his workout to his needs & limitations, all while making sure he pushed him to work hard. While we were there another father stopped in for some information, and instead of giving him the standard line, he invited his son to join the class. Little things like that go a long way nowadays and definatly did not go unnoticed. His staff is also great with the kids! This is a great place to have with everything going on in the world right now. It's a fun, safe environment for all ages and gets kids active when there are limited options due to the pandemic. If you are in the area stop in and see for yourself, you will be glad...
Read more10/10 would get punched here again.
But in more detail, JJs boxing classes are awesome. I get a great workout every time and the classes serve as a great outlet when I’m stressed from work. Never thrown a punch? No problem here. JJ will work with you to teach you the right way to do it. Also! Classes are incredibly affordable. So you can get in shape on a budget.
