His kickboxing class was phenomenal, the combo of cardio and core was amazing and I have never felt so motivated and challenged before. I went two more days in a row and continued to be wowed by the helpfulness and friendliness of staff and patrons. I wish I lived closer to a location so I could go everyday. Definitely recommend!

Unless there's something that I can't do for myself I'm pretty much an "at home, fairly motivated…read moreexerciser". And have been for the last 30+ years. But Title provides me with the extra motivation, encouragement, support and PUSH that I now crave! Title was welcoming right from the beginning. I was pretty nervous, but it helped that there were all shapes, sizes, ages, men, women and a few kids! By the time I left my first class I was so proud of what I'd accomplished! A little back story...I've always been able to build muscle in my upper body, but destroyed my knee when I was a kid...so lower body and cardio have been a challenge. I'm also a foodie, so the combo of loving food and no cardio...well, I tend to yo-yo a bit! Enter Title Boxing, May of 2015...I was 44 years old, in decent shape but I needed a kick in the pants! I got one! And happily, I was able to do just about all of the exercises even with my physical "limitations"! I still have to modify some stuff...that's just the way it is, you can't let it stop you! And after a year and a half at Title, I haven't stopped! I'm a complete addict! My cardio is...honestly the best it's ever been. I can't even explain to you how pleased I am with my lung capacity! I wish I had done something like this years ago, but I'm very happy I do it now!

They also refuse to provide a corporate phone number and I have been unable to find one. How does a large company like this not have a corporate customer service line? This place is a scam.

They have multiple target greens of various distances, over an enormously wide range area. They offer year round practice with heated booths, to hit off golf mats. $10 for 70 balls which are pretty new and washed each time. My only wish is they allowed for half buckets. They do have a nice putting and chipping green which is usually pretty crowded. They also offer a membership program that allows for access to a special members only practice area allowing 30 buckets a month. But the fee is too rich for me. I wish they offered a discounted weekday or weekend only membership. It is located in the same building as Golf and Ski Warehouse where you can test drive new clubs on the driving range off the back mats. And if you need help with your game, the Seth Dichard Golf School operates from the same location. I should also note that it is adjacent to the 36 hole Green Meadows Golf Course.

Lately have been coming up short on my approach shots and wanted to take the guess work out of it. So I booked a bay at $8.30 and bought a $20 bucket of balls. The Trackman screen is a pain in the ass to work when changing clubs. Now I know that I avg 250 with my driver but this machine was telling me that I was hitting it 205, so I went down the line with the next 4 clubs. Every club was extremely short so I took 6 of my own balls out of my bag to see if it was their balls or the machine that was giving me a false yardage. The 6 Titleist ProV1 gave me 40-50 yards difference...their balls are JUNK, either they are restricted flight or just crap that have been hit too many times. This effort proved only one thing to me...that it was a total waste of time and money! If you are hitting balls and don't care how far they go or if they nose dive 50yds out then practice at World Cup! But if you want to get accurate yardage and flight and easy transition when changing clubs then practice at KIMBALL'S in Westford Ma!! Sorry but this place is a joke!

This is a municipal maintained course, and typically that means that they don't have the same resources private clubs have but personally i dont think you would ever know.
