You know how you think that you are in pretty decent shape because you cut back on diet soda or…read morestarted putting in some miles each week.....you really give yourself a reality check when taking the classes offered at Patriot. The classes are taught by really great, enthusiastic, non-judgmental instructors who genuinely care about you and your goals. It can be a little intimidating walking into any gym and even more for gyms that focus on traditional combat sports. I can without a doubt say that as soon as you walk in the door at Patriot - you are immediately treated like a teammate or close friend..... ....trying out a class on a free pass and don't have any hand wraps or gloves? Don't worry about it! You have a staff member giving you a new set of clean wraps and gloves. ....don't have any idea how to wrap your hands for protection? No problem! Your hands are getting more attention than they would at a day spa in Paris, France! ....not sure how to throw a jab or where to put your feet? You'll be shown proper technique and balance so you can move like Danny Terrio ....think you might have gotten yourself in too deep half way through the class because your body is sweating and shaking like James Brown circa 1967? You haven't gone too deep and have really great people around you who are encouraging without sounding fake about it Patriot Boxing in Mokena is a shock to the mega-gym industry that only knows their members by account number and their success by quarterly earnings. Get to Patriot and see what it's like to have your health and fitness goals take priority over closing a membership sale or getting new leads.

I've been waiting for a boxing gym to open up locally-- and I was so glad when I saw Patriot open…read moreits doors. The classes offered at Patriot give you an awesome workout and I really enjoy it. I had taken a boxing class at another gym, but it wasn't nearly as intense of a workout as the boxing classes offered here. The boxing classes aren't instructional boxing classes- they're more fitness boxing cardio with boxing elements in it. Any level of fitness can jump in the classes, and the classes are totally a mix of people. Guys who were seemingly super fit were sweating right along ladies in their 40s with weight loss goals. I'm almost 30 and trying to get back in shape. There were some younger girls and older guys, too. The people taking the class are always nice, too. None of the guys in the class have ever made me feel like I shouldn't be there. I will say this-- once the class starts, I'm so focused on getting through it myself that I kind of have tunnel-vision for myself. The other people are there, but I'm in my own head as I give it my all. Some instructors spend more time on the bag and doing different moves/combos than others, but there always is SOME bag time in the boxing classes and you usually have a decent mix of doing other circuits/exercises to get you in shape. You're moving non-stop and sweating the ENTIRE time. I liken the experience to getting on a roller coaster-- it's a little scary, you're nervous, not entirely sure what to expect, but once you get on it (or start the class) it's time to go. You can't get off (well, I suppose you could leave the class, but who would want to!?) and you just keep going. Before you know it, it's over. But it was awesome, worth it, and you can't wait to do it again. For actual boxers, they do offer sparring and some mma stuff where you actually box people if that's your thing. I don't really want my face messed up, so I stick to the classes with the bags. They offer open gym, though I've never needed to take advantage of it (classes multiple times a week take care of me). I imagine someone who is actually training to box would love it, though. They also do kick boxing, but I like to stick with just regular boxing. The instructors are super friendly, encouraging, and kind. If you can't do an exercise in the circuit, you can easily do a modified version without ridicule. They're offering more and more classes since they opened and seem to be open to community feedback to make sure they're a gym that can stay. I hope they do. I love it.

I don't even know where to start. I love love love this gym. No joke you will sweat more here than…read moreyou have ever sweat in your life. I write this as my tush is killing me from strength class. Classes that are offered are HITT, HITT Strength, Boxing, Kickboxing and there are personal training classes you can sign up for. You are getting killer cardio and strength Additional "super classes"...aka class from hell.... pop up Yoga and some really fun events are offered throughout the year. Always something to keep you engaged. The last thing you will be here is board with classes. You can try a class at no charge. The gym has gloves you can use for the class, so no need to worry about buying gloves just to try out a class. There are several morning and evening classes available and classes also offered on the weekend. Ladies don't let the idea of boxing/kickboxing deter you. There are lots of women in here all shapes and sizes and holy smokes do they pack a punch! All off the coaches and front staff are amazing. Friendly and so very helpful! Even members are super supportive and even though we are all DYING we are having a great time!

To start, I'm 47 and weigh 270 pounds, plus haven't lifted since before the pandemic. I use to be…read morean athlete and love to work out, but life happens. UFC Munster is AMAZING! I've only gone twice, and they are super supportive, allow me to go at my own pace and have a very friendly staff. Amanda is so cheerful for first thing in the morning, love that energy! You will sweat and feel it, but that is the class. It's the best workout and great change from other classes or doing it on your own. In the past two weeks, my weight loss journey has been boosted and really look forward to hitting the bags hard in the future. They help you with the wraps and can loan you gloves. They are encouraging and have a very clean facility. Love it!!

If I could give 0 stars I would. I have never been treated with such poor customer service as when…read moreI encountered Rick, the owner of Carr Boxing. I had signed my teenage son up for self defense/fitness classes because he wanted to get in shape in a fun way. Rick suggested I sign him up for the next level since he was certain that once my son started with the program he would eventually want to spar and compete so why not save money and sign up now. I assured him that would not be the issue and after going round and round with him trying to tell me I'd be sorry in the end when I'd be out more money I reluctantly still signed him up for what I originally came in for. A few days later at his pediatrician appointment my son mentioned to her that he was starting the program. I explained it and told the story of my encounter to both her and my son. She was very adamant that my son should not be sparring due to his several concussions he has had in the past. Since I signed a contract with the place Rick would not return the $230 dollars I zelled to him. He said "a contract is a contract." This may be true but due to the given circumstances and even having my son's doctor write a letter to him explaining why he can't be in that situation I was still denied the $230 even though my son never started. It's very disheartening that this business treats customers like this. I'm a former business owner and I couldn't fathom treating someone with the disrespect I had encountered.

After a few months, I am still a fan of what they are doing here…read more I'm averaging about 2 classes per week, I've misses a week here and there. I've only taken the "Boxing Conditioning" and "Kick Boxing Conditioning" classes. I will reiterate from my original review, i'm not looking to learn a fighting discipline. I'm only here for exercise purposes. Boxing and Kickboxing principles are "lightly applied" by the instructors during the workout. As an example, i have a better understanding of how to "knee strike or throw a knee" into the heavy bag, I have a better understanding of how to throw a jab vs a cross vs an uppercut vs a hook vs an elbow into a heavy bag. So yes, I have learned some level of "Technique", but not to the point in which I could engage in actual combat. They are workout / conditioning classes, not to be confused with fight training. I say this not as a criticism, if you are looking for a great workout but are concerned about the boxing or kickboxing theme (like I was), don't be. TRX has been incorporated into a few of the classes i've attended, which i've enjoyed. They offer classes with TRX as more of a focus, these classes are called "MATRX". I've not taken a MATRX class, they seem to be less frequently offered. I'm confident the MATRX classes are great as well! They also offer a "UFC FIT" class that looks like a boot camp type class that doesn't incorporate boxing or kickboxing. I've not done a UFC FIT class yet, but they look like a good workout. I've been in classes with as few as 3 people and as many as 15. I've been the oldest and the youngest in the class, i'm 42. I've attended classes with 10 year olds and classes with Grand mothers. Everyone can get a workout in here. The instructors are good. They have done a good job, in my opinion, of recognizing those who need more attention in classes and those who are self sufficient. They have a modification for everything if you are uncomfortable or unable to perform an exercise. But most importantly, if you are reaching "your limit" all you have to do is STOP. You can STOP at any point during the class, catch your breath, take a drink (PSA: always brink a large bottle of water with you to class, you sweat a ton during class) and then jump back in when you are ready. You stopping at any point does not disrupt the class. At any point during the class if you are lost or confused, simply asking the instructor and they can get you back on track. They will leave you to yourself once they've seen you there a few times and don't appear to be struggling. I really like their level of attention, just right! The classes i've taken are a full hour and seem to fly by. Most of the instructors are not afraid to crank up the music and keep the tempo going, without be annoying or jerks about it. I've noticed a few of the competing workout programs in the area offer a number of their classes in a 45 minute format. I need the extra 15 minutes of exercise. UFC Orland also seems to offer more week night and weekend time slots as compared to other programs. I'm really happy with what i'm getting for my time and money at UFC Orland!

They are always so helpful and great communication. I'll definitely recommend this place for boxing.read more
