Been struggling with a recent knee surgery but with the help of CJ, the Assistant General Manager at Knockout Fitness Glendale, he was able to fully understand my dilemma. I thought I was going to have to quit, but he helped me restructure my program and keep me at KOF-Glendale where I belong. This organization is absolutely top notch, be it the trainers, the equipment, and the philosophy. 100% guaranteed satisfaction if you are smart and sign up here. read more

I want to express that I feel these 1-star reviews are not fair and misinformed, and this is coming from someone who has been coming to these classes for over a year and only had a wonderful experience, learned to box and gotten into better shape than I thought imaginable in my 30s (when I started I was overweight, out of shape and had no balance. If you stick with it, you will see fast improvement). First of all, this place is not a "scam." You come here, take a trial class, and if you decide you want to sign up, there are three payment plan options for *unlimited* classes and gym access. You can do monthly, 6 month term, or 12 month term. If you sign up for a longer term, there is a price deduction, but that comes with the caveat of not being able to cancel your membership until said term is over. They tell you that from the get go. If you do get into a tough financial spot during your term, you can put a "freeze" on your account for up to 4 months out of the calendar year and not get billed for said period. You just have to inform your home gym and sign the paperwork to do so. (Being a member gives you access to all locations in the valley, your home gym is where you signed up) To cancel a monthly membership, you let them know with a 30 day written notice that you are cancelling. This has been the same with all gyms I've been a member at. So if your bill is on the 30th, and you cancel on the 15th, you will still be billed on the 30th and then have full access until the following 30th when your contract ends. This is why it's recommended that you do "monthly" if you are not sure if you want to stick with it, and cancel a few days prior to your billing date if that's what you decide you want to do. Someone of any shape/size can join and find success. The classes are challenging and will push you, but the coaches will not single you out if you need to take a break or stop. They are all very encouraging. Some people come just for the cardio/weight loss, others come to learn the technique. Each coach has their own style and specialty, and you learn over time what to expect. They have classes specifically for young children, as well as private training and advanced classes for people who are serious about technique improvement and want to learn to spar. There is nothing ambiguous about the contracts here. The coaches are extremely positive and the administrators are always happy to help. I think some people make their membership decision when their adrenaline is pumping and then act surprised when they can't cancel out of the blue due to some personal conflict or move without informing anyone and then expect to be able to cancel over the phone (you have to sign cancellation forms at your home gym). Or simply don't have the discipline to come back after locking into a price reduced term. That's not a reflection of the gym itself and the hard work they do here to make it the best experience for everybody. I would recommend it to anyone who is wanting to push yourself, get in great shape and learn a martial art. read more

Knockout Fitness - holy cow - Boxing Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

As noted in other reviews, the sign up is a trap. Rather than going through the whole story, I'll just bullet point it. Bottom line, DO NOT sign up with this gym. - Signed up, attended for a few weeks - Life happens, had to move out of state - Called the gym while out of state, asked them to cancel. They kept pushing me to come into the gym as it's the ONLY way they will cancel - After a lot of arguing and reiterating multiple times that I was NOT IN THE STATE and could not come in, they agreed to cancel - Fast forward 3 months; I see a charge for the membership hit my account - I call, tell them this is wrong and I canceled months ago. They say they have no recollection of that, I owe them $500 in back fees - I again explain everything that happened, they don't care and not only forcefully push the $500 but refuse to cancel the membership unless I go to the gym - I research AZ laws around this since it's clearly not legal, sure enough the state laws clearly outline they have to accept the cancellation request with me not living in the state anymore - I call back and tell Quinn this, he says he doesn't care he is abiding by the gyms rules - I explain I am going to report them to the BBB, file a complaint with the states attorney general. Quinn says "BBB, Better Business Bureau? Ok bring it on we're ready" - Eventually, he said if I sent my lease agreement for the new place in a different state, he would cancel it - Sent the agreement - He said there is a $50 relocation fee before cancelling - Rather than drag it out, I gave up and paid the $50. Still not sure he even cancelled it, I guess we will see next month There are plenty of great gyms in the valley, do not support this dishonest business, especially if Quinn is handling your membership read more

I love it here, I wish that I could make it during the week. I can only attend on Friday's for the 6:30pm-7:30pm class. It makes it even more special and I look forward to being here every Friday. I try to tell anyone that's willing to listen to come to this location. It had definitely added some joy to my life since I've been a member at Knockout Fitness. read more

Knockout Fitness - Boxing Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Worst place to ever exist! Too bad I have to leave 1 star instead of a negative star. Around February of 2024 I signed up for a month-to-month membership, I enjoyed going everyday and learning different things but around April 2024, my work hours were cut and simply couldn't afford the reoccurring membership. I went in to talk to someone about canceling my membership and they didn't let me, They said they will freeze my account with a $10 fee per month for keeping my account on hold. I told them I wasn't paying the $10 a month when I dont even want my account anymore. They ended up putting my account on freeze without the $10 fee. Then comes September 2024 I had it on my calendar to go in and officially cancel my account/membership since the freeze was up. The person working there and I both signed a cancellation contract and gave me no issues. The next month October, I got charged again for the membership which I was 100% sure I cancelled regarding the contract we signed. I went to dispute the charge with my bank since I shouldn't have been getting charged again and the dispute was denied due to Knockout, I let it go and moved on since there was no charges after that. Now were in August of 2025 and I have been getting nonstop emails and phone calls because they claim I owe $35 because I went to the bank and tried disputing the full monthly charge so they want to charge me with that plus a late fee. I went into Knockout and talk to two guys working there and said they would have the manager Josh call me. Almost 2 weeks later I got a phone call from John and still continuing to get emails/phone calls. He was really nasty with attitude on the phone with me and threatened to send me to collections when they don't even have my social. Also John is very new at this location so it didn't surprise me he acted this way. I asked to talk to someone higher than him and he claims he is the highest person of the building then switches up and says he will forward me a name and number which I didn't accept. I demanded a name/number when I was on the phone with and he still refused. I talked to a different Knockout location and everything is settled that I am not paying $35. Thanks for wasting my time and money. read more

Shady Gym - Scam Tactics & Unprofessional Staff This place is nothing but a scam that preys on people through high-pressure sales tactics, lies, and straight-up harassment. They recruited me in a Walmart parking lot, handing me a flyer and pushing me to come in for a "free class." I wasn't really interested, but they spammed my phone nonstop until I finally gave in. When I got there, the "class" was just a grueling workout designed to exhaust people--that's their tactic. After that, we did some bag work, which was basic and unstructured. There was no real coaching, just workers pretending to be boxers. If you just want a workout and to throw combos, you could do the same thing at Planet Fitness for way cheaper. The Scam Begins... After the class, I had to wait over an hour for someone to talk to me because the guys running the place were too busy flirting with an in-shape woman they most likey flirted into signing up. Once everyone else was gone, they finally got to me--probably because they knew I'd call out their BS if other people were around. They hit me with their ridiculous sales pitch, claiming I could sign up for just $10 now and defer my payment, plus they'd give me 20% off each month. They showed me some nonsense pricing chart that didn't even make sense, because they couldn't explain it properly--it was just a scam to pressure me into signing. The Real Scam: Trying to Keep My Money After I signed up, I called the same day to cancel because I knew I made a mistake. They ignored my calls, never got back to me, and still charged me anyway. When I went in person to confront them, they suddenly claimed they had a "30-day written cancellation policy" that they never told me about. But here's the worst part--one of the guys was deliberately trying to provoke me. He started calling me names, mocking me, and acting like he wanted to fight me--all just to piss me off and get me to react. He kept saying, "You're embarrassing yourself" and talking down to me like I was stupid. He was hoping I'd lose my temper so they could act like I was the problem. That's how they operate--by gaslighting and provoking people. Final Verdict This is NOT a real boxing gym. It's just a place for people looking for a social workout or to feel like they're boxing without actually learning the sport. The so-called "coaches" are just failed wannabe boxers with inflated egos who make their money tricking people into signing up. If you're serious about boxing, stay far away from this place. If you want to get scammed, pressured, and harassed, then by all means, sign up. Otherwise, find a real gym. read more

I WILL NEVER REFER OR VISIT KNOCKOUT AGAIN!! They are only interested in your money!!! I have noticed the same pattern in everyone's review. My children and I signed a 12 month contract with Knockout in June 2024 for $200 per month. We went once or twice a week for about 4 months. Everyone seemed nice and friendly. They gave us hugs and made us feel welcome. It felt genuine (all so fake), until we couldn't pay anymore. We bought boxing gloves, T-shirts, wraps, attended employee appreciation events, and my son even took private lessons, which was a separate additional cost. Around January My financial situation changed so I asked to freeze my account, which was $30 per month. After 4 months I received an email stating they could no longer freeze my account and that I would have to go back to paying $200 per month. By that time my situation had changed drastically. My son was hospitalized, we lost our home, my income had decreased 80%, and I had applied for state assistance. I went in to speak to DeAndrew. I poured my heart out to DeAndrew and another employee. I even showed them photos as evidence. I asked if they could let me out of my contract and allow me to make more affordable payments on the balance owed. Basically they said I had to pay 50% of the remaining contract and that was my only option. I pleaded with them. I asked if I could speak to the owner or CEO and they said "no, they are going to tell you the same thing. This is standard procedure for all members". I told them I have to make a choice to provide for my children or to pay a $200 gym membership then I will have to choose my children. They said that if I didn't pay my account would go to collections. I suggested to them that would be better for me because collections would work with me and give me a payment I can afford. I received a call from Knockout about once per week asking me to pay the balance. I told them that my situation had not changed and that I was unable to. After about 3 months I received a call from the collections department. They informed me that my balance went from $400 to $1800, and that it would be reported to the credit bureaus in January 2026. I was so shocked! I called Knockout and spoke to that same employee above that was with DeAndrew, I can't think of his name. He was really cold and had no sympathy at all, and claimed that I was very rude when I came in and spoke to them earlier that year. Again, I got no where with him, he said he could not help me and that he would have DeAndrew call me. It's been about 2 weeks and no one has called. This same situation is continuing to happen to people over and over again. Life happens, the Government shut down for Christ sake!! People experience unexpected hardships and crisis that are out of their control. Unfortunately, this may end up on my credit because I don't have the money right now. I will have to hire an attorney, file a complaint with the CFPB and fight them once I get in a better situation. read more

This place makes it extremely difficult to cancel. Even after explaining that I lost my job.( I had fulfilled my 6 month contract) they said there is a strict 30 day cancellation notice in effect after the manager had told me that they would not charge me again despite the policy. My son and I will not be returning here due to the lack of empathy and customer service that Omar (general manager) showed me today. read more
