    Going to the gym is more interesting if you add boxing and kick boxing to your exercise routine. I…read morehave found the staff to be friendly and accommodating! They encourage you to come which is part of the fitness battle! Being older I appreciate the culture of friendliness and go at your own pace! Anyone I have met has been extremely nice. Working out there goes by quickly and it gets my cardio in for the week! I recommend this place if you want a unique work out!

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY - UNQUALIFIED INSTRUCTORS AND HORRIBLE OWNER/MANAGEMENT. Please…read moreread my full review to get a better idea. I'm happy to answer questions if you have any upon reading this review. My email is Courtney.bland01@gmail.com. I posted a Facebook comment on the gym's FB page congratulating one of the instructors who was graduating and moving away. I actually congratulated that individual on his accomplishment, but I also commented that maybe we would see more classes offered taught by one of their most loved instructors. Fairly immediately, my comment was liked by others (positive feedback), but then quickly deleted by management. The following day, I sent a private message. The owner (Butch) contacted me and asked that I give him a call. Apparently, I didn't phone him quick enough, so then I got a threatening message saying my membership would be terminated if I didn't call by the end of the week. I'VE ATTACHED SCREENSHOTS OF THE CONVERSATION. He is a coward who doesn't accept CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. He is unable to separate his emotions from running a business. He flat out refuses to put a suggestion box in the gym for anonymous feedback. Instead, he claims to rather have feedback given to him verbally or in-person. As you can imagine, not everyone is comfortable providing feedback in that manner. Take it from me though, if you want to work out at this gym, don't provide any feedback unless it's 100% positive. Anything less and he'll cancel your membership. ‍ I've also been told he canceled someone's membership for commenting that the new hire instructors were not qualified. On the subject of instructors, there are only 2 instructors worth going to and they are very rarely scheduled (I'm happy to provide their names if you want to contact me). The rest are simply former kickboxing members turned instructor who have no real qualifications and terrible music selection for a high-intensity workout! Try the Quince or midtown locations -- more qualified instructors and better management who actually LISTEN to their members!

    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.

    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.

    Total Fitness Kickboxing is hands down one of the best fitness decisions I've made…read more The instructors are full of awesome--every single one brings their own unique style, but what stands out most is the shared dedication, energy, and passion they all bring to every class. You feel it the moment you walk in. They are friendly, motivating, and consistent, whether you're a first-time member or someone who's been training for years. As an evening dedicated member, I rotate through classes with Greg, Abe, Wes, Marlon, and Chase, and that variety keeps workouts fresh while still delivering a serious full-body burn every time. No two classes feel the same, but the quality never drops. The diversity and inclusiveness here truly matter--you're supported, pushed, and encouraged at your own level. And for the membership rates, the value is unmatched considering the intensity and effectiveness of the workouts. You get strength, cardio, stress relief, and confidence all in one. One small suggestion: It would be helpful if the weekly class schedule was sent automatically via text or email, so members always have quick access and reminders without having to search for it. Overall, this is a gym that shows up for its members, builds community, and delivers results. Highly recommend--whether you're just starting or staying committed long term.

    What an awesome gym. Friendly staff, clean and professional facility and an amazing workout.read more

First couple of weeks, I made a call to reach out questioning the fees. Instead of a call I receive a text which i thought was unprofessional and strange. This woman answers me back through text and when I sent back I want to cancel I received no reply after texting back several times!! After several months go by and I try to cancel again calling, A guy answered saying that he will text me a email to go and cancel. Two hours later, my bank shows an unfamiliar $76 fee attempt from Memphis Kick Boxing. I do not recommend this company, terrible communications and way of business. I have been in email wars seems like with myself they barely reply. Currently after asking for cancellation they told me that they will continue to pull out the $12.50 per week since they cannot get the $76 fee! I have been in talks with my bank institute they have stated this is a recurring charge but that they cannot block because of the way the business registered with payments they cant block it. Strange behavior and way of business. So please save the headache and find a better fitness company that will serve you and your a
