Square Circle Boxing

Victor Baham 6 months ago

I am working on improving my personal fitness, so I decided on here as a way to get an intense cardiovascular workout. It is REALLY a full-body workout. Abdel is a very encouraging trainer and could tell when I needed a break; the workout was very rough for me at some points, so I appreciated that. I also liked how he taught the fundamentals and gradually let me apply them in a sequence/combination. He didn't move on to the next distinct move until I had at least somewhat of a handle on the previous one, which helped my muscle memory. Finally, the gym-goers are really friendly, and I got the sense that this is actually a community instead of just a boxing gym. Everyone in the gym encouraged me, and one guy encouraged me to hold the plank at the end of the workout when I was struggling. A few folks besides the trainer himself even said they hope to see me again, and I hadn't even realized one guy said it at one point because I was spaced out lol. All in all, I recommend this boxing gym if you're local to the Bergenfield/Dumont area, are looking for a low-stakes environment to get started with boxing, and are looking for reasonably priced lessons. I'm glad I found this place.

I was looking for a gym where my son and I could learn great boxing skills, have an intense workout, and have fun. This is definitely that place. I cannot say enough good things about how Abby, the owner/trainer, runs Square Circle Boxing. Yes it’s an intense workout, but the energy is 100% positive. It has been money well spent!

I’m a man in reasonably good shape. About six months ago I looked for a local boxing club. I tried out a few different ones all well equipped: one with very small classes and a limited schedule did not challenge or motivate me enough. Another was too “crazy“ – deafening sound system, black-lit room, one coach for 20 to 25 people (no mitt work). A third was a big gym with bags, but no classes – only private instruction. And then I found Square Circle Boxing and coach Abby in Dumont, NJ. This is a clean, well equipped club with class sessions (usually about 4 to 8 people in all shapes, sizes, ages, genders and abilities) available from early morning to early evening. Abby, the owner/coach is terrific! He's VERY motivational and keeps you smiling even as you “leave it all out there“ -- a real pro! Everybody who attends is also very supportive and scheduling is completely flexible. As you settle into your sessions each week, you really get a “team“ feeling. Each session consist of warm-up exercises, heavy bag work, combined with high intensity cardio exercises, instructional “mitt“ work with Abby (2 to 3 times/session — with ‘high-five’ glove-bumps from your session-mates), finally floor exercises on mats. I track all my activity on my Fitbit, 24x7. Since I’ve been going to Square Circle Boxing, I have never been in such excellent condition and I have the stats to prove it! I strongly recommend Square Circle Boxing and Abby for an all around great boxing experience!

I have recently tried my first boxing class with Square Circle Boxing and have nothing but good things to say about Abby, the owner of the gym. From the beginning of class to the end of class he does everything in his power to make you feel comfortable while pushing you to your limits. It's the perfect balance between inspiration and challenge needed to help you transform your body. You have to give it a try ASAP, you wont regret it !!

Almost a year into my boxing journey and I am SO happy I found SCB! Abby's energy is so uplifting and welcoming. He pushes you to bet on yourself and guides you throughout. Always leaving feeling better than I started!
