reviewsWhat Members Say
Members consistently praise the quality of coaching at Morrison Boxing Club, specifically highlighting Coach Nader's expertise and the technical, challenging training sessions. Reviewers mention that coaches genuinely care about their fighters and create a supportive training environment. However, several negative reviews describe rude phone interactions with a male staff member, with female callers and visitors feeling dismissed or unwelcome during initial contact. These contrasting experiences suggest the in-person training is excellent while initial communications may be inconsistent.

Just called this place and the man that answered was completely rude. I suppose he thought since I was female I was interested in fitness. I say that because when I asked how long the classes were, he told me it wasn’t a fitness gym, it was a competitive boxing gym. It was rude an very assuming of him to suggest I didn’t realize I was calling an actual boxing gym. I have competed in both amateur mma as well as kickboxing. I have also trained at some great boxing gyms that are just too far from my house and I was looking for something closer. I definitely do NOT recommend this place for females! Very very rude. I don’t even write reviews but can’t get over his tone and attitude I could feel through the phone.

Wow what a rude man !! All my encounters in beautiful Arkansas have been so positive people are so friendly then you have this guy answering the phone at the gym 🤯. Never seen anyone so rude.. I’m from Canada in town for work, il be coming more and more and staying at a close by hotel so figured I’d call to get info in hopes of getting a good workout and maybe some 1-1 coaching when I’m in town.. I walked to the gym .. got there and it didn’t feel right so didn’t walk in .. instead in walked back towards the hotel .. then I decided wait why don’t I just call to ask a few question so I can feel comfortable waking in ., here’s how it went .. him : in a grumpy voice “hello !” Me: Hi how are you 🙂 with a smile (I was excited to get info) Him : “ what do you want !” In a very rude voice Me: what ?? Him : what do you want I’m busy !!! Now In an even rudder voice Me : oh wow ok hmm never mind, I was just ca…”click” phone hangs up 🤯 Caught me off guard didn’t expect that from a business owner and especially not after meeting all the amazing people I’ve met in Arkansas. My sons ranked number 2 in Canada in his weight class so I’ve been around boxing gyms and well no way il be going to this one. With that said I hope this man can find peace and healing within him so he can live a joyful life.
