After moving to the area, I was looking to continue boxing. Joltin’ Jabs was the first place I tried and I haven’t had to look elsewhere. Joey and peers motivate you to do your best and give it your all while also meeting you where you’re at to make you feel comfortable. It’s an impactful mix of circuit training and boxing technique. I leave proud for challenging myself and wake up sore, ready to do it all over again!

Joey is a top-notch trainer who truly knows boxing. His workouts are tough and demanding, and you will leave every class knowing you put in real work. Each session is well structured, starting with a solid warm-up and moving into challenging circuits that focus heavily on different punching bags. From a woman’s perspective, training at Jolting Jabs has been empowering and motivating. Joey is professional, respectful, and takes the time to make sure I understand proper technique and form. He pushes you hard, but in a way that makes you feel supported. He brings energy and humor to every class, which makes the workout fly by. After about three months of training with Joey, I have lost weight, feel stronger, and feel more confident. If you want a real boxing workout led by someone who knows the sport inside and out, I highly recommend Joey’s classes.

Hands down the best workout I’ve ever had. Joey is a great coach who truly cares about each of his clients. The amount of energy and passion he brings to every private session and class is truly remarkable and rubs off on me every time! Joey has not only taught me the skills needed to become a better boxer and get in peak physical shape but has also provided great conversation and inspiration to get after my day! I highly recommend anyone looking for an incredible full body workout to go to Joltin’ Jabs! Joey has been a great coach and will always be there to push you to be your best self day in and day out. I have nothing but great things to say about Joey!

I genuinely love this gym. I came to Joltin Jabs looking for something that would push me hard, keep me engaged, and help me finally commit to a fitness routine and it has delivered on all of that and more. The program is challenging but fun, and what really keeps it interesting is that you’re actually learning boxing. You’re not just going through motions; you’re learning technique, movement, and skill, while still being able to work at your own pace. That balance has made it something I truly look forward to. Joey, the owner and trainer, is a huge part of what makes this place special. His coaching style is a great mix of tough, old-school gym motivation and genuine friendship. He doesn’t just train you...he talks about nutrition, lifestyle, mindset, and how everything fits together. You feel pushed, supported, and understood at the same time. I enjoy the classes so much that my goal is to come four or even five times a week. After eight months of regular attendance, I haven’t lost interest at all and if anything, my interest has grown because I can see and feel the transformation. I’ve lost some of the weight I wanted to lose (fully aware that weight loss starts in the kitchen), but more importantly, my overall health has improved. My doctors see it. I feel it in everyday life. When I hike, I’m stronger. My clothes fit differently. I look different in the mirror. My confidence is way up. I couldn’t recommend this gym more, whether you’re looking to supplement an existing fitness routine or, like me, start a program you really need and stick with it. This place delivers exactly what I was hoping

In 30 years of my life I have never felt so belittled and disrespected in a public setting. I signed up for a class here via class pass and was offered a deal to add a friend. There was a “newtwork” trouble in the app when trying to sign my plus one up. I called the number listed on the app and was not able to get through. Without second guessing we still went to the class in hopes we would be able to sign my plus one up upon entrance. Silly of me! *DISCLAIMER* I am totally aware and willingly signed up for a boxing class that would likely have a spitfire rough and tough instructor. But the owner was rude, loud, unprofessional with a nice serving of disrespectful! He did not greet us, instead he yelled “what happened you guys” in front of everyone as we arrived at 10:00 AM on the dot. I tried to explain that we had trouble signing up and it was also pouring down raining or else we would have been there earlier. There were a few more words exchanged I ended up just saying No thank you and walking away. The experience just left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I’ve been boxing for months and was very excited but as a local.. very disheartening..
