I had a similar experience to some of the one star reviews. I was promised that even though I was…read moresigning a year contract I could pause or cancel depending on the circumstances. I asked to pause for a while for legitimate reasons, but was denied. I attended for 8 months, paid for 4 I was unable to attend, then they charged me for an additional month. They tried explaining it to me that they needed to charge me on the first and the last of the month, but I guess it wasn't registering for me why I had to pay 13 payments for a 12 month contract. Very shady. And very rude and dismissive when I brought it up, not even trying to look into or understand the situation. I didn't make this a one star review because I really loved the instructors and my time there. It's honestly a shame. I had no idea other people were having the same experience, this can't be legal. I feel like they are setting themselves up for a lawsuit for no reason.

This will be a short review - primarily for the owner, Brooke…read more I live in Fort Lauderdale and was in search of a boxing gym. I was going to be in Memphis over the Christmas holidays and sent an email. Received a response from Brooke the same day encouraging me to drop in. Wanted to ensure that I created the proper approach, so I asked about the cost to attend a few drop-in classes while in town. She provided information on Bot's Boxing which operates from the same building at Memphis Judo. Brooke was very welcoming and instead of payment, asked for a review of their facility, instructors and the environment. My 5 Star rating speaks for itself, and i look forward to returning to the business when I'm in Memphis again.

Chad Chilcutt may be a decent Martial Artists, but his behavior towards women is severely lacking…read more He needs to understand that his treatment of women MAJORLY impacts the views towards his practice. We had our son enrolled for a short time but decided to end it due to (1) the teaching schedule not being consistent and (2) the instructors having zero knowledge on how to handle an Autistic child. I, the mother, made the call to terminate our contract. He wouldn't hear of it, kept dismissing everything I said with "let me talk to the man of the house and see what he says." Disgusting.

I guess it's possible, but I can't imagine there is another gym as great as this one. It's very co-ed and family friendly. Proper technique is constantly drilled. Just because they allow for a "come all" atmosphere in the gym doesn't diminish from the quality or mean that is the majority of its members. This gym, lead by Stan, is a beast at competitions. The fantastic training shines.

You can lose upwards of 500 calories a class and sometimes people tell me that and I look at them all skeptical...but there is no doubt here...at all. I can barely walk the three days afterwards. Just bought some pink gloves and wraps so I can go here on the regular! I'm getting in shape, y'all!

I just happened to find UFK online via martial arts search and I'm glad that I did. They just moved to a new location and the facility is very nice. I've been taking the kickboxing classes every day this week and...YES!! I'M SORE! The lactic acid buildup is fabulous. The bags that they use are muay thai bags - so they're VERY solid/hard....great for conditioning the shins (if you plan on using them as lethal weapons). Every class I've taken this week has been different - Tony and John shake things up, keep it interesting, keep you moving....and if you're not soaked by the end of class, you're slacking. They also do personal training and other martial arts. Highly recommended.
