PUNCH

Fantastic experience: It's an amazing place to box! I really enjoy the classes, and I hope to keep learning! Love Punch place

Fantastic experience: Amazing workout with Safa

Negative experience: Poor. I had attended 3 classes using classpass with them and was happy with them enough for me to go ahead and purchase 15 classes and was so excited to kick off on my consistent attending of the class. That was in November. I was told that they are relocating and planning on reopening by January and specifically (with the new year) and I did not question it. However, it is now reaching the end of March, some of the “classes” I purchased are now expiring with me not even having control over the whole case. I have tried calling (a number that DOES NOT EVEN WORK?) and emailing THREE TIMES and sending a direct message on instagram/ WhatsApp and got nothing. No responses. No one taking accountability. NOTHING. I even got desperate enough to reach out to the instructors (no response) and Zayed Sports City (that told me they can’t give me any contact details?). Absolute shame on this establishment. Give me my money back you thieves.

Negative experience: BE CAREFUL!!!!!! Interested in beginning a boxing journey, I found Punch online. Tried to look at their schedule but no classes are posted. I thought this was maybe because I wasn’t registered as a member. So I registered and created an account. STILL no classes appeared. I got a lovely automatic email with a link to an intro video and telling me that the next step was to purchase a “first-timer” package. I thought cool!! Seems legit!! I purchased the package hoping that I’d finally be able to see when classes were running so that I can make a booking. Still, nothing showed up. This morning I called the number on the website; disconnected. I tried the number on Google; disconnected. After work I decided to head over to Zayed Sports City to speak with someone and scope the scene. TURNS OUT THEY’RE NOT THERE. Reception told me that it’s been six months since this establishments’ contract has run out. I’ve emailed them now but I’m not sure if I’ll get a response. ————————— If you’re reading this and you’re from the Punch team, please reach out. I’m not in the habit of ruining people’s livelihood, and so in case I’m mistaken, I will definitely take this post down - but please reach out. And in case I’m not mistaken, then obviously I think you all need to do the responsible thing and not continue taking people’s money under false pretenses.

Fantastic experience:

Negative experience: Not that professional boxing ,instructors not even certified in boxing

Fantastic experience: Punch is a great studio for a workout. Atmosphere is really chill but also a great place to let off some steam. Front of house staff are really welcoming (Macreen) and trainers are very knowledgeable. The head coach (Nate) is great, talks you through all the combos and drills, makes new workout sessions every day and always leads a good session.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been struggling with losing weight for the longest time. I tried all kinds of diets and exercises but nothing was working. I reverted back to my usual low carb high protein diet and started exercising with Nate and Badr. It’s been 2 weeks and I have lost 3 kilograms. I want to personally thank both coaches for their support and always making the classes engaging, tough and fun. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Today I completed a year going 3-4 time every week to Punch with Nate. It was incredible therapeutic journey for me with lots of fun and professional training .. so grateful for all the efforts by Punch year and special thanks to the one and only Nate

Fantastic experience: Been going to Nates classes for the past couple of months, always a challenging but fun workout! He is a great coach

Fantastic experience: Great sessions with Nate. Have been attending his classes for the past 4 months and enjoyed all of them. Challenging but worth it!

Fantastic experience: The place here is great, the classes’ timing in their schedules suit everyone, and the place is clean and completely sterilized. For laddie’s classes, it is private and comfortable. There are also drinks available with a variety of options after training, and their prices are good. Also, the coaches here, and the staff in general, are all very helpful and kind.

Fantastic experience: Just did my first class with Coach Nate this morning. The class was high-paced and energetic, but most importantly fun! The staff are all professional, friendly and extremely enthusiastic. Looking forward to improving my technique and fitness. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing time. It was my first time boxing ever. The class is intense yet doable and fun. The coach Nate he was so supportive and encouraging. The community of the gym was friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: I always get a fantastic workout at Punch and decided to try the ladies' only class with Simmy- absolutely loved her energy and her vibe. Fun, friendly and delivered a sneakily tough session! If you want a really fun, energetic workout that makes the time fly by try one of her classes. Suitable for all levels as she demonstrated adjustments where necessary.

Fantastic experience: Best Trainers! They push you to the limit while keeping it fun. Truly enjoying bootcamp even if my facial expressions during the sessions say otherwise! Thank you Punch for keeping us active

Fantastic experience: One of the best Workout experiences I have had in UAE. The pace of the classes, each person has their exclusive punching bag, and it just feels so good to punch all your ill feelings away! You also get a good Calorie burn from it; it moves every muscle when you follow the instructions of the amazing coaches! As for the coaches what can I say, Each coach pushes you to your limit, motivating you to perform better, it's not just about your form, it's true passion, boxing / punching is a skill and if you want to excel in it and get a good workout too then come to PUNCH! The bootcamp is also wild, Alia and Nate keep us on our toes...I look forward to it everyday.

Fantastic experience: Punch camp and punch Hiit are the greatest ways to start to the year, and if you want to burn more than 400 calories in a single session, punch is the best option. It was a really wonderful time, and we appreciate your support, Nate and Alia.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming for Punch classes since September 2022. I found this to be the ultimate work out studio in Abi Dhabi that combines high intensity training, cardio and boxing with great music, diverse trainings that never repeat and professional and welcoming team. Nate, the coach, the trainer and the owner really put his heart and soul into the classes and gives 100 % at every session which is a great motivation to come back. Thank you guys for what you are doing day in and out !

Fantastic experience: it is the place that I was looking for .. professional trainers , very very nice receptionist and management, meet your expectations.. I looked for it online and I registered immediately when I visited the place. the classes are on fire I recommend every one who wants to burn calories and gain some muscle and power to join punch.. thanks to Macrane , Semi , Bader and Nate

Fantastic experience: Alia’s bootcamp is the best combination of strength and endurance training. I have had so much fun while enjoying the great winter weather and clocking in at 400 calories per workout

Fantastic experience: Comparing myself today and couple of weeks ago when I started my classes, I have to say I see major difference and it is very much noticeable The place is very nice and encouraging expecially when the music is on Nate, you are one of the rarest PT who makes exercise fun and torturing in the same time Thank you punch for existing

Fantastic experience: Thanks Nate for the wonderful session. Definitely the best boxing class I ever been. Can’t wait to join the next session . Cheers!!

Fantastic experience: You really get great vibes there! Also, their customer services are as they seek customer’s satisfaction & safety!! The trainers also are really well trained and positive!!!

Fantastic experience: First class done today and it was really excellent This is exactly what I was looking for and I am happy to have found it Warm welcome and top coach

Positive experience: I love it but the only thing that I would like to change is that I do not like to workout in the dark

Fantastic experience: Great experience as a first-timer at Punch Studio!

Fantastic experience: If you want to burn fat - go in…

Fantastic experience: I like this place

Fantastic experience: Cool workout classes

Negative experience: i called to register and to have more informations, but the lady on the phone was not helpfull at all

Negative experience: Took a class a few weeks ago. The instructor had an odd affect and seemed to be upset that some people had cancelled his class. The class was comprised on three brand new members and three with prior experience. We did not realize we had signed up for an advanced class, as this is not mentioned on the website. At one point he stopped the class to ask if anyone had learning disabilities. I thought this was unprofessional and rude. The combinations were difficult for someone who had never done boxing before and I really thought this was an unnecessary comment. Additionally, online it says that wraps would be provided but were not when we arrived. The employee at the counter said this wouldn't be a problem. I developed painful sores on my hands from the gloves. I will not be going back to Punch Club and am very disappointed. I reached out to the management in an email and they never responded to my concern.

Fantastic experience: Nate is extremely proactive and motivating. His classes have motivated me to lose 20 kilos and I keep coming back to fun and different sessions as well as a nice community of regulars. Very different vibes than other gyms and classes in AD. Alice and Macreen are very helpful!!

Fantastic experience: Nate is a fantastic instructor. Changes each session up to include cardio, boxing and ab work. He really makes sure our technique is right so we get a full body workout. We work inside the studio and outdoors now that the weather is great. It’s fantastic! We book a family session each week so the kids/tweens get involved. Couldn’t ask for a better coach!

Positive experience: Punch for me was a not so fun experience, this place lacks the enthusiastic vibes during the classes. And as an attendee you feel like your there on a mission to go follow the preset work out lightly instructed by the coach and leave home. The physical place is nice though, the ambience and over all design are intriguing, also as a location being in Zayed Sports City is a plus.

Fantastic experience: My favorite interactive workout class ever! The class is fantastic, with incredible instructors guiding you through the punches while you listen to your favorite tunes. Well worth your time, effort and money! Must try

Fantastic experience: I had a great time! 1st time boxing and 1st time doing HIIT I went in with zero expectations and came out feeling stronger. The instructor was nice, considering he was trying to instruct on a hurt back. He apologized alot but I was still able to get the gist of what I was meant to do. I loved the music selection, nice and upbeat. I wouldn't say I'm the most fit person but also not new to working out. I was covered in beautiful salty sweat. Lol you can take as many breaks as you need, theres no pressure. But do try to push yourself even if it's just 1 more set. Go for the experience!!! Also go I would say...10 to 15 minutes before your class as there is an instruction lesson for first timers. I missed it bc I lost. but you can catch on pretty quick.

Fantastic experience: Nate is a very enthusiastic teacher and shows you the ropes in an easy to understand way. Manages to keep the tempo of the class up and encourages you as you go along - certainly was very exhausted by the end!

Fantastic experience: Excellent soundtrack , even better class . Will come again for sure

Fantastic experience: Really fun class, a lot of energy and energetic exercise.

Fantastic experience: Totally inlove with there classes

Fantastic experience: Punch your rage out and feel so much better about life!!!

Fantastic experience: So much fun .. alia was amazing

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended , amazing vibes

Fantastic experience: What a fantastic class with nate

Fantastic experience: Best boxing place there is.

Negative experience: Facing the worst experience ever! Forgot my bag with my car key and house key in the gym, when i asked them to come open the door. Their respond was “dont you have anywhere else to go” until i had to call the police.

Fantastic experience: i came in today for my first session, friendly staff and training was really fun. the boxing area had a really nice vibe. amazing music the lights really get you in the mood to workout. coach nate was super helpful and kind. if you can bring your own gloves and wrap cause the ones they provide for free were a bit uncomfortable but got the job done. Thank you guys so much

Positive experience: I’ve been going here for almost a year, it’s practically a place where you practice your so long waited boxing skills you thought you had, which btw you will have if you kept going there regularly. It is one hour of HIIT and you will feel amazing after the class.. I’ve taken classes with almost all of the instructors there.. the top of them is Sanja <3 she makes you workout like crazy and you’ll be happy about it, she is really one great coach. Nasha is hardcore based but she doesn’t smile alot or anything, just keeps standing there waiting for that hour to finish (or maybe am wrong), Daria really tries her best to make full body workout yet she keeps running in circles and you end up doing squats more than any other exercise. Anyway its a nice place to burn 400-600 calories in 1 hr, yet the prices are bit much for one class 100 AED.

Fantastic experience: What anamazing workout! Coach Nate is a machine. He really got the best out of me. Its tough...but I felt like a champ afterwards. Totally worth it!

Fantastic experience: Nice place, clean and neat. Friendly and welcoming staffsdeffinitley a nice place to sweat and relieve your stress keep it up guys! see you again soon! ♥️♥️

Fantastic experience: Good ambiance...good classes.....nice,friendly and aproachable staff... glory and maria ....keep it up.....

Fantastic experience: good

Negative experience: The first class - Ladies class was bad for me I didn’t like it at all and I informed the respetion about my experience

Negative experience: There was one trainer called Dima, we enjoyed his lessons and he is really professional, and suddenly he left from there without notifying the people over there, and right now im not enjoying the lessons like before. Please get Dima back to Punch

Negative experience: They expired my package without even a phone call. I bought a package for myself and my husband before the lockdown. They opened and of course it was impossible to book due to limited places at the end of August which is maybe 2 weeks from the reopening they took the liberty to expire my package without even a call to inform me that they wld do so. When i sent an email they weren't even sorry. They were like well you did not show up in August so your package is gone! Very bad way of handling customers. Sure thing they will be losing business. I was determined on buying more sessions for my self and my husband but not anymore.

Positive experience: The only instructor whose classes I attended was Seena and he's pretty awesome. His taste in music is great, it keeps the class fun and keeps us motivated. One of the main issues is the fact that the classes never start on time but they finish on time. Moreover, there is a lot of time wasted in the beginning of the class explaining things to members that can be explained before the classes even begin. Due to this, classes are not an hour long and that is not fair.

Fantastic experience: Excellent boxing club. The classes are for all levels which is good, amazing energy and love the music. Please open one in Dubai..

Fantastic experience: My fav club so far love how welcoming gloriii and maria always are, the amazing energy all around & the best instructors

Fantastic experience: Classes are amazing. Must reconsider extending the expiry dates of the packages

Fantastic experience: Its amazing boxing club..frendly stuffs...great classes...amazing.......

Fantastic experience: Is an excellent fitness gym that I’d recommend to anybody just getting started in boxing or to workout full body.
