Great boxing gym for all levels! And all ages! The atmosphere is very welcoming and Everyone here is here to help one another critique their craft I’ve attended a few training camps so far and I made This gym my home come join the family!
I’ve debated since November if I should write this review & have decided to now write it. In Mid-November, I showed up at Maleek’s gym at 5 am to discuss a membership for personal training. He gave me his story & we talked & when I asked him if he could give me a run through of what a workout would entail, he told me that I had to pay first. I think I paid him around $980. We then proceeded with him showing me how a workout might start. No prep, no stretching, just straight to jumping rope. I’m a slight, 56 yr old woman. Within 2 minutes, at most, I twisted my foot and broke it. I told him I had to stop & he said “you’ll be fine.” I hobbled home to wait until Urgent Care opened so I could get xrays. Yes. Bad break in my left foot. When I contacted Maleek to see if I could get a refund (I was out of commission for 7 1/2 weeks!) he said no. I’m very very angry. That is why I’n writing this review.
I’ve been training at Maleek Jackson Boxing and Fitness for almost a year now, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about this place. The coaches here are truly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in your growth, no matter your skill level. Whether you’re brand new to boxing or have years of experience, they make you feel welcomed, comfortable, and supported from day one. Beyond the coaching, the community here is something special. Everyone pushes each other, respects one another, and wants to see each other improve. I’ve learned so much not just about boxing, but about discipline, confidence, and showing up for myself consistently. This gym feels like more than just a place to train, it feels like home. If you’re looking for a boxing gym with elite coaching, a positive environment, and a real sense of community, this is the spot. Highly recommend.
I cannot say enough great things about this boxing gym. When I joined last year, I had zero boxing experience, but Maleek, Coach Fiz, and Coach Dan made the journey both approachable and exciting. They are not only incredibly knowledgeable but also patient and genuinely passionate about the sport. The energy in the gym is contagious—it pushes you to give your best every time you step in. Coach Fiz, in particular, goes above and beyond for every member, showing a level of dedication to boxing that is truly inspiring. I am proud to be part of this community.
I’ve been a member at Maleek’s Gym since January 2024. When I first joined, I had no idea what I was doing and was just training for a charity fight. Fast forward to now, and I’m completely hooked—I’ve gone through multiple training camps and have fought three times since joining. Maleek’s Gym is an incredible spot with an even better community. Huge shout out to Maleek for building such a great environment, Coach Fiz for being so hands-on and breaking down boxing for every individual, and Dan for always pushing and motivating everyone in the gym. Since having Coach Fiz in my corner I've really felt like I've made huge improvements and won my last 2 fights. From fitness classes, to training camps, to sparring, they’ve got it all covered. All in all, it’s a great place and I couldn’t recommend it enough.
