Couldn't imagine a better gym. Been working out with Matt for 6 months or so and have transformed. They are visionary in terms of their embrace and promotion of women's boxing on both amateur and professional levels. read more

Amazing customer service and great facility! I was very impressed by the building and the layout of the place. I've only heard about this place because they were collecting donations for a family in need and was impressed with them when I dropped off my donations. I will be looking into bringing my son to one of the kids classes soon! read more

Been to many boxing gyms throughout the world and I must say this is one of the best gyms I have ever walked into. Very clean facility and the staff knows exactly how to run a boxing gym read more

Nicely put together. The coach who hosted the class the day my son attended was professional, patient, and courteous to the kids. I gave them 4 star rating because one, the gentleman who I spoke to over the phone was rude, but that didn't stop me from going as I knew not to judge the entire facility off one person. Also, they advertise $10 for the first class(and I called to make sure it doesn't apply to kids boxing class prior to attending). However, they did not honor it when mentioned and I very much dislike when businesses do not commit to their advertisement. read more

Body Shot Boxing Club really helped me rediscover my love for Boxing. I trained as an amateur Boxer in my teens and as I got older I slowly faded out of the sport. Body Shot Boxing does a great job of making the workouts fun. If you're looking for a hardcore dog-eat-dog sparring type of Gym this isn't the place for you. However, if you are an enthusiast or someone looking to add some fun new workouts into the mix this place is great. No workout is the same so its hard to prepare or get adjusted to the hour long class. The only downside is that they are a little pricy for such a small space, thats the only reason I didn't give them 5 stars. read more

I went to the Boxing 101 class and was very unimpressed. In a 1 hour class, we spent two short (2-3 minute) rounds punching a hanging bag with no directions! The instructor said, "On the bags." And that was it! I wasn't taught anything. The rest of class was calisthenic/cardio exercises which were good, but not for pretty much the whole hour! A boxing class should AT LEAST spend 1/2 of the time ACTUALLY PUNCHING. Ridiculous! I will not be going back. read more

This place has been my home for the last two an a half years, the classes are amazing, the staff is the best. They truly care about how they teach there classes and no two classes are the same very mixed up! Love that this place is coed you don't have to worry about it just being guys or girls. It's equal on both sides. This place has helped me reach my goal of losing 100lbs! I would recommend this place to any one trying to get in shape or if someone needs a switch up in there fitness routine this is the place to be. This boxing gym is also great for kids!! My cousins have been here, they are hard on them but it's about tough love and it teaches them discipline and keeps these kids off the streets. I can't wait to see what this boxing gym does in its future! Rick Ramos has done an amazing job and I know it's only the beginning! Very proud to be apart of the body shot boxing family! read more

I went to a cardio kick boxing comp class that was held. The instructor Mary Lou Bravo was excellent. The class kicked my butt! (im an insanity junkie, so it takes a lot ti get my heart rate up.) The owner Ricky Ramos seems to be very involved and motivating. The gym is very welcoming and not intimidating at all. The gym itself is clean and beautiful. I look foward to signing up for MMA once my work schedule lets up. I highly reccomend this gym to anyone looking to get in shape fast! Plus supporting a local small biz with a great motivated gym and owner is always the way to go. Support the hard workers! read more

Since I relocated from Miami this is one place I yet to return. I wish the distance would be much closer to where I reside. I must say parking is a cinch and the coaches there are truly motivational. They pump each other up therefore hyphening the students to push that extra adrenaline. Definitely worth it always 600 plus calorie burn. read more

Love this gym! Everyone is courteous and knowledgeable. If you have a daughter that you want to be able to protect herself in today's society, this is the perfect place to take her! read more

Been coming here for the last 2 years with the Booth Boxing Club. This is a top class gym, with serious boxers, trainers who really make you work, and great equipment. Rick, Kenji and the crew run a great club, probably the best in Chicago. read more

Not professional. Have kids "coaching", running the classes. No boxing, only workouts - sometimes outside in excessive heat/weather conditions. It was 82 degrees with 85% humidity and my child asked for a water break and it was not given to her. Coaches are condescending, they single out my child for I'm not sure what reason. They try to embarrass her in front of other students. The girls running the class are 2-4 years apart from her. When my child tried to ask after class if she had done something wrong or why she was being treated that way, both coaches ganged up on her. One of them mentioned she had gone to jail, not sure how that was relevant information. After hearing this, I tried calling the number linked to the page to avoid leaving a review - just found out it is inactive. I have tried looking for the owner, but they are too "busy" to work anything out and just left it at, it wasn't a "right fit" for my child. My child enjoyed the class, it was just unfair treatment. Great sessions, maybe learn to speak to people or treat everyone with the same respect. Be open to both positive and negative feedback. Don't waste your time here unless you're going for professional boxing is what I was told. Also, the people who reviewed this place after me are all related to the family running the business. read more

The location is nice but that's about it. I took the boxing 101 class for a month which was all conditioning. Its not bad if you want to lose weight but I was looking for a place that would teach me the fundamentals of boxing. Even when sitting around and checking out the boxing 102 class, which is the more advanced class, it was mostly cardio. The trainers were nice to me but every time I took someone for a free class they never went back because they said the staff was rude and stuck up. read more

Wow. The lady that answers the phone is a douchenozzle. After our other boxing gym closed abruptly, I decided to call other boxing gyms in the area. I and 3 other people were looking for a place to go. The lady on the phone was super rude. All I asked was if I could speak with the manager/owner to discuss pricing. She told me no... I said that there are 4 of us going to sign up and she kept interrupting me saying that they are not affiliated with another gym or their prices. Needless to say I will not be going their! I wish I could afford to be rude to a group that was going to pay $280 a month... read more

The BEST boxing gym in Chicago for everyone from beginners to people wanting to fight and anyone in between. The club is not an elitist gym, but instead has a family feel and trainers willing to work with you to reach your goals. Just talk to them! For anyone interested in getting into boxing or people looking for the best workout a class can offer - Boxing 101 is for you. I spent several months in this class and can describe the layout to the utmost detail. THE LAYOUT - The entire class is run on 3 minute rounds with 30 seconds break. This is the same interval that all of the fighters train at as well. THE BREAKDOWN OF ACTIVITIES: The class starts with a brief set of stretches before going into about 3 rounds of shadow boxing (about 9 minutes). Those who are new to the class are invited to come up and learn 3 basic punches - this will be your jab, right hand and left hook. As a beginner, a lot of the first class (and several more following) will consist of getting used to the stance and feel of things, don't get discouraged. You are taught these basic but critical moves so that you can perfect them. Next are two rounds of conditioning, designed to be both intensive cardio and strength work. The exercises here range from jumping jacks, burpees, high knees, push ups, squats. After these introductory rounds, you break into groups and go through several circuits, usually about 3-4. The circuits each are about 3 rounds. So for example, you might do 3 rounds on a boxing bag, 3 rounds jump rope, 3 rounds of combined strength/cardio. These circuits get switched up every day to work on new parts of the body and keep things fresh. Finally, the class ends with 10 minutes of instructor led ab work and a final cool down stretch. RESULTS - I took this class from the same instructors at a past gym and followed them here and have lost 50 lbs in a year and a half and gained a lot of muscle definition. The skills I learned in 101 allowed me to be ready for 202 where I was able to do much more skill building and sparring. For Erica S. - boxing is a huge % endurance, cardio and strength. The punching skill set is something that takes a LOT of work and dedication to master, so what is reviewed in 101 is meant to be WORKED on by the interested individual. If you attend more than one class, you will build these skills. Also, as a now amateur boxer, let me tell you how difficult it is for fighters to just "punch" for an entire 1/2 hour. read more

Great place for a good work out, but yeah staff is not as friendly as you would expect them to. Not very professional as far as it comes to payment, they do not send out invoice. I didnt learn much at this gym after 3 months i left. Going to try sams place. read more

I came for a complimentary class on a Sunday with 3 friends. I haven't really gotten back to working out on a regular basis in years... since before having my last child which was10 years ago. We all thought we got a great workout and left there a little sore and sweaty! No pain, no gain. The class was fun and organized. The workout routines and exercises are timed with a 30 second break in between. Since it was our first class, the instructor took a little extra time on us teaching us some basic punches. He made sure we were doing it right and had others help us. We also jumped rope, did push ups, abdominals, worked on the tire, etc. We met the owner and he suggested we come back for another free session in order to try out a different trainer if we were looking for a tougher workout. We did that today and it was definitely tougher. She added some different routines involving the boxing ring and medicine balls, and a type of obstacle course. I will be signing up for the boxing 101 class and hope to continue to enjoy the workouts. They have a parking lot with free parking and the facilities are clean and didn't stink. I, however, do stink from this workout just now, so I'm off to shower. read more

I have been to every gym in the city and this is by far the best one. I get a full body workout. It is a group class but you will never get lost in the back. There are several people to help work with form, technique, and give suggestions. The groups are small so I feel like I am getting individual attention. I sweat within 15 minutes. I like that they push you harder. This is the only class that I have been to that actually challenges me. The workouts are never boring or repetitive. Awesome! read more

i was really impressed just walking into the space...a clean, sunny loft space with several bags of different kinds, big tires, a boxing ring, and treadmills. the boxing 101 class runs you through several stations that can include a bootcamp-style workout, treadmill, bag work, and pad work with the instructor. some saturdays they have professional boxers as guest instructors, which is pretty cool. everyone seems really nice, and you feel pretty bad-ass flipping over giant tires across the room. the instructors really push you to always work harder and when time allows, tell you how to improve your form. after class, you can stick around and practice on the bags or work out some more if you'd like, the gym is open to you. assuming you don't go home and eat a whole deep dish pizza (which, clearly, i didn't...don't see my recent review for giordanos), you will absolutely get in awesome shape. and to come back to the cleanliness, the classes end with an ab workout on mats, and they pass out lysol wipes so that everyone cleans their own. good to know you're not lying on someone else's sweat pile. the only downside is that there is only one bathroom, but the soap smells really nice so i'll let it slide. =) they also have a free parking lot and convenient location near chinatown/pilsen that's right off of the highway. their prices are reasonable. if you're looking for a new boxing gym, i highly recommend to check out this place. read more
