You can say I'm a workout addict, but every time I've joined a new workout craze, I could never stick to it. I always ended up going back to my regular routine of running and basketball. Not the case here. I can't get enough of boxing and this gym has a lot to do with it. The trainers are all invested in your progress and all the classes have been nothing short of a demanding workout that's fun and upbeat. This workout will kick your ass, but you'll be coming back for more. First class will be confusing with all the boxing lingo and you'll second guess yourself on whether you're able to keep up. It will come to you after a couple of classes, just be patient =). With the first month being $59 for an unlimited month of classes, I don't see why you wouldn't give it a try. Student discounts too here, just ask! read more

Love the variety of classes. The community is great and Ms Patrese makes my day every morning.

Nice energy from Ramsey, our instructor. Very patient and enthusiastic! Great music! Very comfortable atmosphere. Everyone was nice! read more

The owner is judgmental, and negative unless you're stacked with money and look like a model. He doesn't oversee what his trainers are doing. He lets them do whatever want which could be good or bad. His initial comment to me was that "I couldn't afford to have him as a trainer". He apparently knows how much money everyone has based in the car they drive. He had also made comments about my arthritis stating that "it's all in my head". There are other places to spend your money without the owners toxicity. The owner is a bad businessman with a judgemental and nasty mouth. read more

I absolutely love every trainer there. They each have their own style that is dynamic and energetic. The boxing classes are literally kickass! Not your usual whimpy kickboxing class. This is taught by actual boxers! Love them . If your really brave. Hop in the ring. They actually teach you one on one how to box there as well! read more

Since I was younger I was crazy for any kind of sports. But to be honest since I found out about JABS GYM I can only say and as they know I'm obsessed with this gym! They doing combination of all kind of exercises which is amazing!! And of course the most effective is boxing! To start with Fortune and the rest of the staff they're all amazing!! So kind, respectful and positive people! I can't wait to go there tomorrow and everyday lol The besttt EVER!! read more

This gym is great!!! I love the group classes. The time flies by and it is honestly the best workout. The trainers are motivating and have a tremendous knowledge of the type of sport/workout. They give you feedback on your technique to ensure the correct movements and maximize your benefit. I have been going 2x weekly for a few weeks and notice a significant improvement in my cardio, and general body strength & quickness. I also appreciate the affordability of this gym. One more thing. The staff at the check in desk is the sweetest and helpful and all employees make you feel at home. read more

Let me first start by saying this is SO much more than just a workout. They challenge you and strengthen you physically and mentally! The body results are just an added bonus to the knowledge, and strength you gain from these classes! The team at Jabs are so motivating, experienced, and patient! They take the time to fix your form, and make sure you're reaching your full potential. I look forward to each and every workout, HIGHLY recommend!! read more

I hate working out -- it's a total chore to me, however, I found boxing at Jabs Gym to be empowering and a great work out. I need to go back soon! read more

The trainers are the best! Very experienced and they help you meet your fitness and overall lifestyle goals. Boxing, circuit, yoga, strength training, and more offered all in one place! read more

Best authentic and fun boxing gym in metro detroit. Whether you are looking for exciting group boxing fitness workouts or personalized boxing training, jabs is the place to be. You are taught the fundamentals by trainers who competed in boxing at the highest levels (amateur and pro). They even have their own amateur boxing team that do very well in the amateur ranks. Jabs makes you feel very welcomed. Wish I had joined sooner. read more

I love that it works your mind and your body. It's fun and makes me feel stronger mentally and physically.

What a nice little gym! I have been here a couple of times attending kickboxing classes with Fortune. I've also taken his Boyo classes mostly in the Eastern Market (Detroit) location since that's closer to work. His classes are tough, but they do make you stronger and they're definitely doable even for beginners. He helps you with technique and pushes you even when you think you can't do it. The gym itself is cool, one side is this kickboxing room with lights, mirror and about 15-20 hanging punching bags. The otherside is more so the gym with a boxing rink and a few workout stations/weights. I haven't done a workout in there yet, but I'm sure they're great. His team offers personal training, other classes and even boxing related classes. It's also nice that they offer boxing classes for kids so they can learn the fundamentals of boxing. Your first class is always free - check them out! read more

Jabs has an inclusive environment that felt welcoming and nonjudgmental. Very nice staff, trainer, and facilities. I very much enjoyed my workout and will be visiting them again in the very near future. read more

This place is awesome! They have all kinds of classes and are open a lot of hours for everyone's schedules. I am there five days a week now. I was very nervous when I first started here at Jabs last June and I am very much an introvert. The staff is very friendly and inviting. I promise you, you will get a great workout here and more. Just don't give up. People give up before they can really see the benefits because they really do make you workout here. How else are you going to progress? If I can do it, and I am 57 and I had a stroke three years ago, then you can do it too! read more

I started going to Jabs early December 2017 and came out with an amazing workout fam! All the trainers at the gym are great at what they do. Not only that, the amount of time each trainer takes to make sure that all students have the right form is truly what attracted me to the gym. I've had Fortune stay after class for 30 minutes to help me out with my form when I had first started taking classes and it was so rewarding. The classes range from Kickboxing (which is more cardio), Round by Round (which allows you to focus on your form - personal favorite), BOYO X (cardio plus yoga to stretch out at the end) and Circuit Boxing. Aside from taking classes, I have also taken a few Personal Training sessions with most of the trainers and I would be lying if I say I wasn't sore for 2-3 days after each session. Kristine (nutritionist) was also able to set me up with a meal plan which is when I started to see the right changes in my body. If you invest a month into this gym and see the results that I have seen, you will never look back! Now, if only there was a Jabs Gym in San Diego...! read more

I took one kickboxing class here. I would describe the vibe as 'Prison Rave'. The scene: You walk into a windowless room (cell). Suddenly the lights go out and black lights appear - obscure hip hop remixes start to blare as you fumble to put on the wraps and gloves the front desk girl handed to you moments earlier. A man starts to speak but they are not words you can comprehend "left jab left jab left jab, hook hook hook hook jab and hook, switch sides jab jab kick hook jab hook jab". Also: his voice is literally auto tuned. This continues for one hour. It will feel like much longer. In summary: I have no idea what happened, I tried to just keep hopping around and flailing my arms. there was a girl near me who appeared to know what she was doing so I attempted to mirror her. I did work up quite a sweat. Never been so happy to see daylight as I was when I walked out. read more

The staff at Jabs gym were extremely helpful and welcoming. This was my first time at Jabs and my first time kickboxing and they provided me with direction how to properly wrap my wrist, punch the bag and proper steps and techniques. I am not a very athletic or active person so i had some difficulty keeping up with the group but they continued to encourage me and let me go at my own pace. I really enjoyed my experience at Jabs and I look forward to attending another social distancing kickboxing class. Thank you! read more

Great workouts led by great trainers. As each punch the pandemic threw at us, Jabs Birmingham made the necessary changes to keep members safe and healthy while continuing to offer new and innovating ways to keep working out. It is greatly appreciated read more

My daughter really enjoyed the workout and felt comfortable with the trainers . Looking forward to going back next week !

AMAZING place to work out! After looking into kickboxing as a way to work out, I found Jabs Gym and chose it because to me, it was the best balance of quality and price because it had a great introductory price for unlimited classes per month. Before my first class (I had never done kickboxing before and it had been a shamefully long time since I had worked out), the instructor helped me wrap my hands and told me that, if I got confused, I should look towards the center of the room towards the more experienced people to follow what they're doing. And we were off! And my first class was hell, which is exactly what I needed! Turned out the instructor was Jimmy, notoriously one of the most difficult and demanding trainers at Jabs. Go figure that he led my first workout session in a year and a half. If you're a beginner, I highly recommend going to Fortune's classes first - he teaches the actual technique (what a jab is, how to hook, etc.). Ryan's classes are also fairly doable and simple to follow. ICE and Jimmy are a little more advanced; they S L A Y you but are AMAZING instructors and always encourage you to do your best. I did not know this when I first started so I just went to whoever's class my schedule allowed, which is also completely fine! I was able to grasp the techniques by following the first class. The trainers are also more than willing to help you correct your posture and technique by answering any questions you may have after class. Another thing that really encouraged me to keep going with Jabs even after the introductory price increased to the regular price (which is a little expensive) is the great environment! I feel like no one else in class, despite how advanced they are, are judgmental, which is really important to me when I workout. People are always friendly, supportive, and helpful. All-in-all, a little pricey but SOOOOO worth it with great classes, instructors, members, and environment! read more

GREAT workout. Kicked my butt. Left in a puddle of sweat. friendly staff, motivating coaches. Great social distancing outdoor class, exactly what I needed to kickstart my post quarantine workout plan. Can't wait to go back! read more

I took my first kick boxing class tonight with Jimmy and o my lord! What a work out! The music was awesome as well. Staff was really friendly and they don't pressure you to sign up for a membership. I work out 4/5 days a week for the past 6 years and this was actually a challenge for me! I'll be back Friday! read more

Love jabs gym. It's not for someone who isn't serious about getting in shape. The classes are HARD so I have a love/hate relationship. I have never left thinking I had a bad workout. If you take a class prepare yourself to work hard. I personally think it's one of the best gyms in Metro Detroit. The gym is super clean and the staff is always so great too. If you are up for a challenge then book one of Jimmy's classes and prepare to work. read more

Great workout! Challenging and fun targeting strength and cardio. Offer a variety of classes to help it fresh.

I love their group classes: BOYO, kickboxing (personal favorite), boot camp...I love them all. The trainers, front desk team, owners...all great. You absolutely must try their kickboxing class because until you do, you just won't understand what a killer workout and high energy environment it is. I moved out of state and can't take their classes anymore, but I have yet to find another trainer that gets me pumped up like the ones they have here. read more

My favorite gym and workout of all time!! I love coming here. I've become stronger leaner and very fit. These guys have become family over the years. Been working out with these instructors since 2011 and love the workout so much I followed them to Jabs when it first opened up. The most fun and kick ass workout I've ever experienced. Very intense kickboxing workout with great music and instruction. What a hype!!! Workouts never feel like a chore at this place. Personal training at Jabs is amazing. You won't find a trainer walking you from one piece of equipment to another. I have trained with them for 7 yrs now and it's all done with loose weights, body resistance, ropes, TRX straps, and one of my faves focus mitts. And if your brave enough go in the boxing ring for a round or two. Definitely not your usual big gym mundane workout. This is what these guys do and they definitely DELIVER!!! read more

I started boxing here a few months ago after I decided not to renew my Title Club membership. The first time I went, I wasn't completely sold, but I decided to give it another try. Since then, I've been hooked. Trainers are amazing and really teach you not only how to box, but the logic behind it. You definitely get your money's worth! I also like that they have more cardio equipment, weights, and squat racks so that you can have flexibility in your workout. read more

Challenging, fun workout, excellent trainer! Fortune teaches you all the moves and pushes you to your limits. I always leave Jabs feeling exhausted and accomplished. Kickboxing is the best way to relieve stress and burn calories. I've recommended Jabs to many of my friends and they've all said the same things. Don't be intimidated - go try it!! read more

I started going to Jabs in January 2017. It has not only transformed the way I look at working out, but it's transformed the way I see myself. I had no idea what I was capable of physically, and they've helped me see that strong is the new pretty! It is the best physical and mental workout around. Period. The trainers are experienced and professional, but they also make you feel like family. They care about their clients and provide the best motivation. Workouts are fun while being challenging, and there is a little something for everyone. I can't recommend Jabs enough - I love being part of the Jabs family! read more

The establishment is professional. Members are treated with courtesy and kindness ... and the classes I've taken with Mr. Fortune has been everything for my cardiovascular needs. I'm been very impressed with our instructor's drive and motivation to see us WIN in our fitness goals. The envelope is pushed in each class for us to give our all no matter the level of shape you're in....this matters to me ... and this is why I choose Jabs Gym! read more

Great classes with really motivating instructors! I do kickboxing and circuit training here and both types of classes really push you to limits which is what I look for in a workout. My first time was a tough one and intimidating at first but half way through the class you get a hang of things more. However it did not stop me from coming back. Each class I come to leaves me sore in all the right places so this place is awesome! I highly recommend you try out all classes and best of all it's free to come and try it out! Everyone is so pleasant read more

I came to Jabs early summer of 2014. I have worked out for years; since my 20's. Lots of personal training, years of yoga, gyms....etc.... After over 4 years at Jabs, I have to tell you, I have never been in better shape in my entire life. Physically & mentally. Truly, my arms have cuts! Which I have always wanted and strived to get but never saw. And now my love handles are gone...my endurance is incredible! Every boxing class, every training session w any trainer--these professionals bring you in and turn you around before you even know what's hit you! They are warm, professional, accommodating...and they have a look, a persona, that if you didn't know them, you would want to. They LOVE what they do. They're passion is training, teaching, pushing you, helping you & building you up, both physically and mentally. If you have a passion in your life then you know what I am talking about. Jabs is it! Come in. Meet Fortune, the owner; he will listen to you from the moment your eyes connect. He will get you, teach you and give you all he's got...he's got what it takes! Give him what you got, and you will gain so much! I promise. By the way, Jabs is a family; come join us! Joy Cantor, Birmingham-Detroit Sent From Joy Cantor's iPhone read more

First name: Greatest, last name Ever. With the prices you'd be silly not to check it out, but seriously don't take my place in Tue-Thur-Sat-Sun BOYO. (Only 30 spots available) read more

One of my friends recommended that I try Jabs Gym. I love coming here. I've attended the BOYO X and Kickboxing classes with IC E, Fortune and Ryan. I thoroughly enjoy coming here. It's a full-body workout and it's different every time. The instructors are great and are definitely willing to work with and willing to motivate you. The membership fee is a bit expensive but I go so often that I definitely feel that it's worth it. Don't be intimidated by the fact that the classes are so intense, it get's easier as you continue going to classes. read more

If you're serious about improving your health and you're looking for a change in your ordinary workouts, this is the place to be. The atmosphere, people, and staff are second to none.

Great place to work out! Kickboxing classes are amazing and I feel like I'm addicted to them! The instructors are professionals themselves so they know how to give a good workout!
