Hard Knox Gym

I absolutely love the women’s boxing classes here. Melissa is amazing, she’s incredibly passionate and always ready to give helpful tips, correct your form, and really pay attention to your progress. You feel pushed, supported, and empowered every class. It’s always a great workout and a super positive environment, especially for women who want to learn real boxing while getting in shape

It’s the best gym in Montréal! Highly qualified and professional coaches, intense workouts or technical clinics. The gym has a close-knit community, you always feel supported and have a fun time working out!

Super welcoming, affordable, clean… Got my first lesson from the master himself, Herby. Made me feel like a champ. So happy I stopped procrastinating and joined. Positive it will improve my health, physical and mental and my tennis 🎾 come spring.

I’ve been an amateur boxer for about 4 years, and Hard Knox Gym has been a major part of that journey. What started as a place to train quickly became a second home. Over time, I transitioned from a boxer to also becoming a coach for the kids’ program, as well as giving private lessons to individuals from all walks of life. What makes Hard Knox stand out isn’t just the quality of training it’s the culture. The values this gym promotes, like discipline, humility, and resilience, have genuinely helped me grow not only as an athlete but as a person. The coaches care. The community supports each other. And there’s a real sense of family here. Whether you're walking in for your first class or stepping into the ring for your 20th fight, you're treated with respect. The energy is always motivating, and being surrounded by people who push themselves and lift each other up is something rare. If you’re looking for a gym with real grit, a strong community, and the kind of environment that shapes character Hard Knox is it.

Went for the first time to the women's boxing. Chris was such a good and patient teacher. I had a blast and it went from a little scary (walked in when it was a bunch of guys and 2 in the rink) to so much fun. Learning the technique and all. I will definitely be going back!!

I've been going for about two months, I have matched with a different person each time, and everyone had been nothing short of amazing. Super welcoming to beginners and out-of-shape like myself. Christian is an amazing coach and I appreciate his focus on techniques while still making us break a major sweat.

I've been taking kickboxing and muay thai classes at Hard Knox for about three months, and I absolutely love it. The staff are incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, and the other people in the classes are very warm and friendly. I had never done boxing or any other combat sport before coming to Hard Knox, and the instructors (Christophe and Herby) were fantastic about teaching me the basics and getting me up to speed. I've even taken some private lessons with Christophe, he really knows his stuff. If you are willing to work hard and give it 100%, the folks at Hard Knox will give you a great workout and teach you some excellent self-defense skills!

Been going to this gym since I was a teenager. I am now a mother and my children now take classes there as well. I wouldn’t go to any other boxing gym. The gym is beautiful, the coaches are super chill. They definitely make the classes enjoyable. I honestly consider this gym my second home. I would definitely recommend this gym.
