My son (15) and daughter (12) love this place they've been coming here for a year now.coach Ortega and his wife are wonderful people who truly care about all there members, they treat them like family. I highly recommend anybody that is looking to get their kids in boxing to come check out Hard Knocks Gym.

A great place for kids to go and have direction in life, discipline and athletics. Super happy to join this great group of folks

I met Arturo a year ago when I was looking for someone to train with and instantly had a good feeling about him. The other coaches that I met seemed to live on the darker side of life. Now that I've been training with him for two month's, I've confirmed that my instincts were dead on. I trust his him as a man and trust his judgement as a boxing trainer. While he continually pushes me to my limit (at least what I think my limit is), he does this is a conscientious way that has my health and well being in mind. He is reliable and always shows up on time for our sessions and is equally flexible if something were to come up (even though I haven't had to take him up on this). He is the real deal and is tough as nails (ex-military and former Olympic boxer) while also maintaining a constant warmth. He is extremely knowledgeable about his craft and knows how to motivate/elevate his students. He keeps an open ear and listens to your unique individual needs while weaving that into your training.

Great gym with a great coach. No matter your experience level, Arturo and Suzanne will make you feel welcome while pushing you become your best.

Great setup but coach Arturo is in my opinion best of the best.
His combination of patience and knowledge has made my workout routine effective and fun.

By far this is the best boxing gym I've been to. I have been at HK since February of last year. Iv seen so much growth within myself both physically and mentally. It's a very friendly environment. When others see you struggle, your team will encourage you to push through. If you want to learn solid boxing techniques and improve your fitness with a highly qualified coach who actually pays attention and prvoides feedback to EVERYONE, then this is the place for you.

I have known G Giovanni Bonanno over seven years and he is a great trainer and up front straight to the point man. The prices are fair and the intenceness of the training is what you'll need to become a successful Boxer the Best. Katreen
