After going through some of my own life’s hard knocks, I was looking for an outlet. I love the vibe. Very welcoming and the instructor Luis took the time to offer me guidance. It’s an exceptional workout. Will be back, Thankyou!
Simply put this is a gr8 club for not only pro's, but anyone wanting to learn the sport of boxing, or just in for a gr8 workout. If your a regular person like myself its amazing to be in there at the same time as one of the many pro's who go there train. The head coach guy really knows his stuff and its just incredible to be a part of everything going on inside. Doesn't look like much but this place has heart !!!!
It’s a proper boxing gym! Absolutely love it. I’ve tried classes with the majority of coaches and enjoyed every one of them. Sessions are very technical and properly build fundamentals and focuses on various aspect of boxing trainings. My favorite ones are led by Luis. He is very approachable, calm and in general very good coach!

Definitely recommend this place if you’re looking to level up your boxing or just get in shape in a great environment
I’ve been training with Luis Z at Hardknocks for 1 year and I can honestly say it’s been one of the best fitness programs I’ve ever done. Luis has pushed my limits far beyond what I thought I could do, and he is excellent at explaining concepts and spotting where I can improve. The culture at this gym is awesome and very motivating; I always look forward to my workouts here. I would recommend anyone of any level to explore training with Luis and the Hardknocks team
