I have been taking my 13 year old son to this gym for almost 3 months. My son loves it and I love it for him. The owner and coaches treat him with so much kindness and encouragement. I have watched my son become motivated and excited about the sport of boxing and it is an amazing thing for me to see. The training he is receiving from Scott and the other coaches is top tier and exceeded my expectations. I see kids at all different skill levels in there and they are all treated with the same amount of kindness and encouragement as my son. The atmosphere is all about positivity and I am very thankful we picked The Hurt Factory!

Love this gym. I went in for my first session 3 weeks ago with no boxing experience, and I was nervous. All that went away immediately when I walked in the door. The trainers are welcoming and incredible. The owner is a legit professional who is extremely involved and offers coaching tips. They are well staffed and the coaches train you on form throughout the workout. It’s a personalized group approach you take at your own pace. Everyone is so encouraging and excited to be there. I always feel so great after my sessions and look forward to the next workout. This place is the real deal!

The Hurt Factory Boxing & Fitness is hands down the most professional boxing gym in not only Lynchburg, but Central Virginia in general. It’s the only real place in the area where you can get the kind of authentic training and experience they offer. The coaches are knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about teaching the art of boxing the right way.
My daughters absolutely love it here. The team makes sure they’re learning proper technique, while also keeping the workouts fun and engaging. The attention and care they give to every student, no matter their age or skill level, really sets them apart. If you’re serious about learning boxing or just want an environment that’s supportive, disciplined, and professionally. This is the place to be.

I had an amazing experience at the Hurt Factory Boxing & Fitness! Scott and his staff took the time to teach me proper techniques, footwork, how to manage my stamina, and much more. I was challenged both physically and mentally to push myself further than I ever thought I could go. The sense of accomplishment after mastering skills like the speed bag, moving across the ring, or completing more rounds on the heavy bag is unmatched.

This gym is owned by a dedicated hard worker, and he shows you what it means to put in effort. Scott has been in the ring with some of the best fighters and has earned several belts to prove it. He pushes you because he knows you can succeed, and he understands that because he has done it himself.

You can't go wrong learning the sweet science of boxing here while also getting in shape and building your confidence.

I started going to the gym to lose weight! I was trained by a couple of the trainers there but mostly stuck with Scott. I can say Scott’s more strict and aggressive approach is what pushed me to lose 50 lbs in a short period of time. When I trained with a couple of the other trainers who are no longer there they didn’t push me to my potential like Scott did.

Great gym! Used to have good trainers but changes have been made. Scott the owner is a great businessman and puts on amazing boxing shows. I may have had a bad personal experience but I wish the best for hurt factory and its future business

Ive always had trouble keeping up with consistent workouts until i started going to this gym. The workouts are different everytime and you will improve with each visit. I was 340lbs at one point of my life and im now down to 220lbs. Alot of that weightloss is due to my time in this gym, and ive been there less than a year. The workouts are set to your own personal goals. There is no better bang for your buck than The Hurt Factory.

The head coach Cujo is a legitimate boxer, done more shows than anyone else in the area, ever. Has a giant personality but it’s goes with his nick name, cujo. Gym is well put together, has an old school boxing gym feel. If you are looking for pretty, flashy, and polite gym circumstances this is not it. If you want a legit boxing gym with legit trainers, go here. As for the price, you get what you pay for in boxing training. So is it cheap? No. Is it worth it? Absolutely! Just take a look, some of the best boxer on the east coast train and or are managed out of this gym.

I absolutely loved this boxing gym! The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. The workouts are always challenging which is how a gym should be. I've seen amazing progress in my strength and endurance since joining, and I always leave feeling motivated and empowered. The community here is also fantastic - everyone is friendly and welcoming. I’ve made some very close friendships at the gym. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to improve their fitness and boxing skills.

Perfect place to learn how to box from highly experienced fighters. Not for weak people who get upset when someone pushes them to better themselves

This gym has produced world class athletes. If you’re thinking about a new fitness journey, I would certainly start with a place that has produced professional athletes. With personalized attention, and care for your overall well-being, I’d give Cujo and his team a chance. This is a place for everyone: men, women, and children. And the trainers goals are to help you achieve greatness in your own journey.

Best gym in Central VA. The owner is super professional, knowledgeable &cares about ALL of his customers. It’s not often that you go to a gym where the actual owner is involved and wants to get to know his clients and customers on a personal level but this gym checks all of those boxes. I love this place!! You should definitely go check it out!

Working out here feels like coming home to an old school, true boxing gym. It has that boxing smell, which true fighters know is something you never forget and something you can’t fake. The coaches are knowledgeable and the other members are encouraging and supportive. I wish this gym was in my neighborhood so I could go every single day. I live an hour away and was still trying to go 3x a week because I love it so much.

Top Notch Old School Boxing Gym. You cannot find another gym like this for miles. If you want to be a fighter out of VA, this is where you go, you will find out , either you got it, or you don’t. If you are interested in boxing for self defense or for fitness and don’t care to compete, this is also the place for you, they will just gear your training to suit your needs. The owner is a former world title contender with reputable names riddled throughout his professional career, he has shared the ring with the likes of Roy Jones Jr and Kelly Pavlik to name a few. If you are looking for a gym that will push you to be better than yourself , this is the place for you. You can’t find yourself training alongside professional athletes or doing mittwork with former,future,or current world title contenders anywhere else. A truly unique experience where you can find out how deep you can dig within yourself.

I have been with Scott for the last 3 months and have seen a significant improvement in my boxing fundamentals as well as cardio. I’m a travel nurse and have been to many boxing gyms all over the country and i have learned the most in a short period of time at the hurt factory. I extended my nursing contract mainly because i found this gym and enjoyed my time there. It’s a smaller gym that is tailored towards any level of boxer who is in it for getting fit or for wanting to compete. Nice gem in Lynchburg VA.

The floor is dirty. It’s a bit too expensive for what you get. There isn’t enough space. The workouts are really well put together and intense. The coach is all about his money so don’t be late on payments. He also has his golden boy so don’t expect any special attention. They will be hard on you and discipline you. The gym has a good schedule that anyone can work around.The assistant coaches are really fun to work with and they can all teach you different skills.

I can't speak highly enough about the gym. The coaches are all skilled fighters and good teachers. Each session includes a couple rounds hitting mitts with a coach - it's a private lesson. There is a wide range of ages, physical abilities, boxing skill, and training goals among the people coming to work out, and it's a tribute to the staff that everyone seems to be getting what they need. And, maybe most importantly, the atmosphere for everyone is supportive.

This place is great. If you definitely want a small atmosphere for a intense great work out and to learn boxing with great trainers to where you will never leave dissatisfied with your training, this is the place to be. Working with all the different trainers Coleman, Danny, and Owen have all been great motivators. I've experienced Danny's workouts the most with a rotation of many different sets of high intensity workouts, that will always be challenging and make you feel better and ready for the next, and keep you coming back for more. These boxers are legit. I have also heard from some people at this gym that they are willing to drive a distance just to come to this gym because it's the best.

This is a boxing gym. It seems an obvious statement but one that needs emphasizing. If you want Boxercise or Boomboxing orTae Bo this probably isn’t the place. No Billy Blanks here for you. But what you do have is an owner who takes Pride in his craft. You will be instructed by him and several “fighters in training “. You will belong to a gym where every instructor is eager and excited to teach you the Sport they love. It is not easy. It’s not “as seen on tv” and you will realize that 3 minutes is a long time. You really will get an incredible work out. Each work out consists of working on a Speed Bag, Heavy Bag, Body weight exercises, weight exercises, LOTS of core work and a few rounds in the ring working the mitts (Don’t worry, no one is trying to hit you! 😀)
I’ve been going for a year now. The thing that really surprised me was the fact it never gets old or stale. The staff will teach you something new everyday. So if you wanna a good work out while learning a new skill this is THE place. Don’t worry if you feel intimidated at first. We all did. We’ve never done anything like this before! But the staff is dedicated to your success and goals whatever they may be. Do yourself a favor, come check it out. You can always go back to a ‘regular’ gym if you want, but try something new! You’ll be glad you did!

I’ve never been worked harder. Boxing is no joke - and this is the place to do it. They work with you one on one every single day and fix what you’re doing wrong. Scott cares about the clients and truly takes time and pushes you to be your best. It’s the one thing I look forward to on my weekdays. You get into it what you put into it. I’ve wanted to box for YEARS and I’m so happy this is the place that I chose to “give it a try.” It’s addicting.
