I have been going to Knockout Boxing for about 1.5 years now. When I started I had zero experience in boxing. The trainer (Jon) worked with me for months on the basics and helped me learn the skill. By far one of the best fitness journeys I've been on yet!

My son has been training here for three years since he was 10, and loves it… Jon and staff helped my son build confidence, discipline, strength and skill while keeping the training fun and challenging. Highly recommend!

My son and I joined Knockout Boxing’s Middletown Gym about 5 years ago. It was a great experience from start to finish. The staff were knowledgeable and accommodating in how they walked us through drills designed for beginners to develop the skills necessary to eventually spar.

If you are looking for a competitive and high energy workout. This is the place to go.

Great place to workout. The trainers are very welcoming and patient. They're encouraging but don't push people to injury. I like that there are weights available and members can use the facility on their own when classes aren't in session. Highly recommend!

I love this boxing experience! For me I needed to lose weight and get in shape. Dec 2024 309 lbs and now in Aug 2025 270 lbs! Life changing. I love the fact that I could be trained while my 9 year son is being trained too.

We found this gym through Google and it’s been 3 months since I have been going here. Knockout provides trainer based workout sessions for both adults and kids, I signed up for the Cardio Kickboxing and Strength Training classes, so far I’m enjoying the classes, especially the boxing bit. It’s a well maintained, clean space with experienced trainers. The guided sessions are great and the overall vibe of the place is amazing.

Bonus point, the owner Jon has been kind enough to allow me bring my dog during my sessions.

Would highly recommend.

This place is really cool, the coaches are really cool and encouraging. The pool for boxing is pretty good but I notice there is a lack of intermediate skill level boxers. Overall it is a great workout and boxing environment.

These guys are fraud. I have paid 200$(no contract membership) fee after the trail class but had knee and some other problems right after the class so I decided i will not join and immediately called them and requested for refund. They said they will refund and sent me a form to fill it out and they would refund. It’s been 2years and iam still waiting. I called them several times saying i am moving to my home country for sometime and requested for a refund to which they agreed. Every time I called different members spoke to me both male, female and every time they would tell the same. They will refund they will refund but now the guy says its been 2years we will not and hangs up. This is a very bad experience, can someone suggest what can I do to get my money back? It’s 200$ and I have not attended a single class and requested for refund the next day itslef.

I’m a fifteen year old boy and after my first session I knew it would be my last, the owner personally invited me to
one on one lessons which I thought would be beneficial but to my surprise he was weirdly touchy feely and after this lesson he asked me about very personal information and even asked if I’ve ever had sex before. I tried to cancel my subscription to this gym but even though they said I can cancel anytime they duped me and told me that I can’t breach contract. Don’t come here these people will take advantage of you any way they can πŸ˜’

My family has had an amazing experience at knockout boxing over the last two years. Originally I signed my son up for private lessons at the bel air location to help improve his body strength and coordination. He worked one on one with Adrian who was incredible. Adrian was encouraging, fun and helped build my child’s self esteem. When our family relocated to Delaware we transferred him to the Newark location where he trained with Brody who really pushed strength training. The owner is very kind and accommodating and keeps a great energy throughout his gyms.
My son has had significant improvements with his coordination, self esteem, boxing skills and strength! The private lessons have been very helpful and he really liked the youth boxing classes.

The staff is great, the environment is great and we have loved our time at this gym!!

Please do not go to this gym. If you sign the contract, you are locked in for a year. You can not leave regardless of what you want. Membership is also very expensive and definitely not worth it ($129).

very rude !So gross!
For 4 lessons per month, I need to pay $520. But you said that according to the contract, I have to pay half a month in June before I can cancel it. You first refund my money for 2 lessons.
Thank you!

Clean gym! My 12yo attends the kids classes. I appreciate how well they work with the kids and the atmosphere of the gym. The classes are split up well so that it's always appropriate. I love it because even the older guys are comfortable with having younger kids....always respectful language, role model mentality even if it's modeling good behavior around equipment use or persistence during a workout. Music is current and pumps you up without the cursing and obnoxious lyrics. Great for guys, great for girls, great for families, great for everybody. Amazing owner!

I started my journey at knockout about a year ago. When I started at first I explained to John (the owner) what I wanted to accomplish and he explained what is needed to get there. This gym has highly skilled personal trainers and highly skilled boxing instructors. I have been in great shape since I started and have developed boxing skills. It’s a great place for beginners, those who want to develop power and strength, and to learn boxing. I highly recommend this gym.

This is the place to go if you want to get fit. If you are willing to put in the time and effort, Jonathan will help you get there! He really knows his stuff!! Great for beginners and individuals that want to get to the next level. Classes and/or privates are geared towards individual needs. Flexibility in scheduling and plenty of positive reinforcement for everyone.

It wasn’t a bad experience it just wasn’t structured enough for the children, a bit unorganized if I must say. It’s more of an exercise class, not skilled boxing.
Great staff though

Brought two of my Boys to Knockout Boxing Bel Air for their first Boxing Experience and lesson. And it was above and beyond what my Wife and I expected they jumped right in and the Instructor was on Point!!! Right into Drills, Handwork and Footwork. Definitely what they needed and signed up for the family plan for 6 Months well worth it from the First experience.

I tried this place a few times and found it to be way overpriced and lacking any real direction. Just seems to be a money grab. There are so many better gyms in the area with actual talent. I've been to plenty of gyms over the years and this was by far the worst. Best of all they will get defensive when you try to talk to them or ask questions. I already know they're going to respond with a claim that I was "never a member" like they've done to dozens of other negative reviews. These people will say or do anything to keep money going and cover up their shady business.

10/10! I joined Knockout in April, and am so far loving everything about it. Whether personal training or cardio classes, you’ll definitely get your workout in! The trainers are so nice and motivating-they push you to your potential but without being rude or mean-along with being flexible with your schedule. I would definitely recommend! Definitely worth the money. Knockout is the best 😊

Great gym! My best friend and I took private lessons with John and we were so impressed with how he customized the workouts for us. Neither of us are β€œfitness fanatics” and we only like to do activities that are fun. John made sure we didn’t even realize that we were sweating and getting in shape. I also had my teenage son join and he also took private lessons with John and his team. He did more of an intense high impact training workout and we could all see the results within his first month of training. Everyone at Knockout is incredibly knowledgeable and I would highly recommend the gym to anyone.

Best boxing gym that I have ever been a part of. I started out with cardio classes to get myself in shape (never been in a gym before) and slowly worked my way up to where I am comfortable now. I now take personal training classes and do the skilled boxing classes and I love it! My goals have shifted from weight loss to endurance and strength training. The owner is a part of so many great things and is really involved in his gyms which makes me feel good about coming in to see the same faces every day. 15/10 & would recommend to ANYONE!

I had been trying to lose weight and be more active but lacked motivation. I decided to join knockout with private one on one boxing lessons but I ended up getting so much more. Jon, Steph, and the entire knockout team are seriously the best of the best. I was having so much fun at every session that I actually looked forward to working out every week. They taught me a lot about how to eat, workout, and just be healthy overall. They have a way of making you feel comfortable and empowered and their passion for fitness is truly inspiring. I ended up losing 35 lbs and feeling stronger both mentally and physically. I also travel alot but they were very flexible and worked with my schedule. They really went above and beyond to make sure that I was getting what I needed for my fitness journey.

Most of us trying to lose weight and get in shape have experienced that seemingly endless cycle of starting and falling out of a routine. I have finally broken free of that cycle thanks to John, his commitment to my goals, and the invigorating atmosphere he maintains at the gym. I'm 30 pounds lighter and feeling better than I have in 10 years. Do yourself a favor; if you're looking for a place that will help you finally achieve your goals, get in to Knockout.

Johnathan and his staff is AMAZING and dynamic . My 9 year old son that happens to have Down Syndrome have been boxing there for almost six months. The staff keeps these kids moving and engaged. I sit back with a smile on my face because my son doesn’t realize he’s getting a good workout. All he knows is he’s having fun. All during the week he ask me do I have boxing today. Another thing I love about knockout boxing you are always greeted with a smile from everyone. Bring a towel because you will get a GREAT workout!! Plus you learn skills and discipline .

I would like to start off this review by saying that I've been going to this gym for 5 years, not only is it a place for you to learn how to defend yourself which is crucial in this day of age, but it is also great for weight loss. I feel like I can say that coming here from a young age that this place grows on you quickly. From the easy but effective classes (I've lose 20 lb and cut my running time from 10 minute mile runs to 6 and a half), great atmosphere and friendly people, this place is awesome for families and solo people alike. Jon is a great manager and runs this place well. If you're looking for some nice cardio and friendly faces for all ages, look no further.

Jon is great, he takes a personal interest in your training with whatever it is you wanna do... boxing, conditioning, weight training, he offers it all and at a great price. You won't find a better gym or a better group of people!

I would give zero stars if I could. I was misguided when I went there. They made me sign a paper by saying it's for the first month fee, and when I decided to leave they told me it's a contract.

I had to leave for family and business reasons and they didn't even care. They asked me to pay more than $500 cancelation fee when I barely trained for 2 months. None of that was explained. And despite the fact that it's a family and a business situation they didn't care. All they wanted is the money.

Also, I paid $100 for equipments (cheap gloves and straps) that's worth $13.4

On my "contract" I didn't even sign on the credit card info because I was told it's just for the first month and they sent my info to collections.
