This is an amazing workout!! Heidi and Joe are both very experienced and know what they're doing! Not only will you sweat (and be sore the next day!), but you're guaranteed to learn proper technique as well. I highly recommend this gym!

I've been taking boxing classes with Heidi for a long, long time. First back at Uppercut Boxing Gym where she was an instructor, and now in her own space at Minneapolis Boxing Club. Heidi and Joe have built an incredible space, from the instructors, to the members and whether you're looking to get in the ring and fight or would just like a good workout where you are happening to learn a new sport in the process you're going to get the support you need here. Heidi has an absolute gift as an instructor, the classes are so well thought out, the instruction she provides is clear and understandable, you'll find yourself picking up the sport in no time, and getting an amazing workout in the process. Save yourself the hassle of cancelling that gym membership you'll use for a week to run a treadmill, then probably be too lazy to cancel for 6 months and just come learn the sweet science in a great space with excellent trainers.

Group classes at Minneapolis Boxing Club are great for all fitness levels. I look forward to classes with every instructor and the noon class times are perfect for my work schedule. You'll find a more diverse crowd here than at other gyms in the Uptown area. 5 stars to Heidi and Joe for building this great community resource!

It’s truly a blessing to have found Joe and Heidi. It’s not the business, it’s about the vibes of the owners that makes a difference. When I first inquired, Heidi was awesome, she gladly answered all my million and one questions also giving insightful information. We’ve been hooked ever since the first class! Joe is an amazing instructor full of personality that puts anyone at ease and makes the experience though intense exhilarating. I would definitely recommend Minneapolis Boxing Club to anyone interested. You can learn boxing anywhere but you can’t get Minneapolis Boxing Club anywhere.

Before I visited, I emailed them four times to three different email addresses and never heard back. I decided that it didn't matter and went to the gym for a class and would ask there. I went to two classes and no one introduced themselves to me in either one, including the instructors. Either I made the introduction myself, or they came up to me halfway through the class. When it came time to partner up, students actively avoided working with me as the new person. At the end of class, people chit-chatted, but again avoided speaking to me. I really wanted to go back because I need practice with mitt work, but I think I'm going to try and find somewhere else.
