The gym is great. Ive been there since 2011 and coach Butch has helped me change my self and body and I am grateful for that. Coach Amanda is great coach. They both give great classes and sure do make it feel like family gym. They always make new people feel welcome.
My son started about 5 months ago. Since being at Butchs gym his confidence level has grown immensely. He looks forward to the classes.
Coach Butch and Coach Amanda are the best.They make you feel like you are part of their family. I have three girls ages 8, 9 & 11. They love going to the gym. My girls also attended summer camp at the gym last year. If it was up to them they would be there everyday.
I joined Butchs 3 years ago deseparate to lose weight and tired of joining and canceling planet fitness. 3 years later Im 100lbs lighter and in much better shape than I would ever be without them. Butch and Coach Amanda are great motivators and have taught me form and technique that have translated into much success for me. The friendly lighthearted attitude created by Butch and Coach Amanda has kept me coming back and has helped me keep the weight off.
Five years ago I walked into the Gym, wanting to learn how to box. I had doubts if I could for two reasons....1. I am way older than the average person that wants to learn a new skill,.and 2. I had two almost-completely shot knees. Well, from the moment I met Coaches Butch and Amanda, I knew I need not be concerned. I was made welcome immediately by them and the younger guys and gals learning too. Amanda went beyond the call of duty; she was patient, caring, and actually adapted to how I needed to learn. As for Coach Butch, I did and will always respect his attitude about how young people behave in the gym. He trains not only boxing, but respectful, good, honorable young people.
My son has been going there for a couple of years now. He does a private lesson with Amanda and 1 class a week. Coach Amanda is hands down the best. I trust my son with Butch and Amanda any day. She is caring and motivating to kids. You have 30 days to try it and see why everyone loves this place.
My experiences here have been nothing but positive. I learned a lot from Coach Butch as he breaks down boxing into its simplest form for those of us with no experience at all. I also enjoyed joking around with his younger students who were always respectful. Coach Butch does really well with kids of all ages. Soon my child will be enrolled as well and I look forward to it.06/30/2016 - I wanted to add a small update to my previous review. My nephew went through a life changing experience not to long ago and as a result became depressed as well as overweight. At 9 years old he was out of breath going up a flight of stairs. Training with Butch and Amanda gave him his self confidence back. It also made him physically stronger and finally healthy. He would even bug me to take him when it wasnt his day. I am very thankful and relieved.
Butchs MMA and Boxing is the best boxing gym in Queens. Coming here has changed my life. Butch and Amanda are the most knowledgeable and patient boxing coaches you will ever meet, and I highly recommend people and children of all ages to join this gym.
This Gym is excellent. Coach butch and coach amanda make it easy and fast for you to learn. And they dont only teach you self-defense and how to fight .... They teach you life lessons. And this gym is not just for adults .... They specialize in all ages...... Kids,teens, and adults. And the coaches are great with kids. This is a family friendly gym. So to sum it all up this gym is really great
Man Oh Man, this gym is the highlight of basically my entire childhood. From age 11(22 now) i started working out and training under Butch and Amanda. Training in all its aspects was exceptional, producing me into the south paw that everyone is annoyed to fight with today. What stood out the most is the gym has the most kind hearted trainers that generally care about each and every one of its members. Butch and Amanda give the gym a nice home feel to it making you feel comfortable and in my case making the gym my escape.This gym helped me gain confidence in myself, introduced me to life long friends and helped me find something that i am passionate about. Thanks Boots and Aman! Love you guys!-Bryan
This place is a great experience for many reasons. I came in here not knowing anything about boxing and with only a few lessons became well equipped. The work ethic in this gym is serious/intense but also makes you feel at home.I also got in the shape of my life after going here for three weeks. Great place if your looking to cut weight. Overall great experience and glad I am apart of the gym!
I was with Butch and Amanda for about four years training in Muay Thai, Boxing, and Submission Wrestling. During my time with them they were very professional, friendly, and established a positive/family environment to train in. I moved to Arizona about five years ago and because of Butch and Amanda I kept training in martial arts. If it wasnt for them i would have never had the will to keep training. I owe my thanks to them for helping me seek confidence within myself.
My son has been going to this gym for years. Butch and Amanda are great with the kids and really build up their confidence ! Great place and clean gym! Everyone should give this place a try!
I Absolutely love this place. I came in and had a 1:1 session with Amanda. She Is amazing and I learned so much from her during our session. Its just too bad that where I love currently isnt close enough or Id be there training. Highly recommend this gym.
Hello, my name is Evan ThomasonBefore I joined Butchs Boxing and MMA there was a dark cloud hovering over me. I had already lost 60 pounds, but still I was not happy. Family drama ruled my life. I was not just angry. I was mad at everyone and everything. I was closed off. Things were not good. I was unhappy. My family and friends said look man, go to a gym, work it off, God has a plan for you. Keep your head straight. WORKOUT so that what I did. I looked for gyms in my area. There were a bunch of different gyms but none felt right for me. Feeling somewhat anxious, I took a walk. I walked thinking and hoping I would find a place to belong. I turned a corner and there it was Butchs Boxing and Mma, I looked in inside opened the door and went in. I was greeted by great friendly people. I felt welcomed, and said to God you are right this is the place for me. I didnt have any fear about the classes because as you go and get involved in the gym you find out that everyone there are all nice and great people. After the first day, I told my father I love it! Butchs Boxing and Mma helped me open up to people. Now I am as happy as I can be. Working out and getting strong . I don’t let that dark cloud come near me anymore. My Confidence is higher than it has ever been, I have be given a new outlook of life, new friends and a new job.
Nice place, Butch and Amanda are wonderful coaches… that one short italian dude is a problem tho
The staff at this gym care, and they care alot. The kids groups are taught not only boxing and MMA, but respect for themselves and others. Personally, I was thankful for the diversity of exercises they teach. I was many times tired, but never bored.
Yea Gianni made us do extra pushups yesterday and now I’m super sore, almost made me bump down the score. Jokes aside, 5 stars.
Great gym , great coaches , coach Gianni great person teaches good , he helps us out a lot very nice person ,
Butch and hiss wife are nice peopleFor the short time my children went there they learned a lot.They are Great with Children.
There seems to be a character issue with the female coach that had me feeling uneasy and second guessing if I feel comfortable involving my child in this.
How much for kids a year？
I’m just asking what r the fees to join and everything I’m 15 and how much per month and everything
Is this place open? I have been calling
I totally recommend this place. 10,000%
Great school
Butch is the man!!

2019-11-21Hello My name is Johnathon and From the day I walked in at Butches Boxing and MMA I have been welcomed and have felt great, I started with private classes because I was afraid of being around a lot of people but Butch slowly eased me into the teen class so I wouldn’t feel rushed which I still go to 2 years later and still love, I feel great after workouts and now I am helping out with the kids class and lifting weights. I enjoy the gym so much that I go everyday and try to be as involved as I can. Without Butch being there for me I do not know how I would have gained the self confidence that I now have today. Coach Butch and Amanda are both wonderful people and are always nice and respectful to everyone

2016-06-30This gym is a great place! Whether youre looking for a personal membership or kids classes, you cant find better coaches than Butch and Amanda! My son has been taking classes here for almost 5 years and he loves it! I took one-on-one lessons here with Coach Amanda and it was always a great experience. My daughter attended the summer camp here for two or three years in a row, and she always had a great time. Coaches Butch and Amanda are great with all the kids; theyre fun, trustworthy, and always give 100%.

2016-07-01My experience with this gym started when I took my 11 year old son in for lessons. Butch and Amanda have created a welcoming, judge-free family gym. My boy felt right at home immeadiately; the training is excellent and he has been eagerly attending for three years now. I was so pleased with his progress and improved fitness that I decided to try it myself. I work out 6 days a week and thought I was going to breeze through the classes, but Butch and Amanda customize the classes to meet the fitness goals and level of each student. I was amazed at how challenging the classes were. I have been attending regularly for about 16 months now and boxing has become the cornerstone of my fitness routine. I love this gym, my anaerobic fitness level has dramatically improved and continues to do so, as well as my form and technique. They have good equipment and a weight room in the basement, with an open gym policy for members to come and train and lift when classes arent going on. I love this gym!!!!

2016-06-30Love them! My daughter has been doing MMA with Butch & Amanda since 2012! I could not feel more safe and secure in any other place.My daughter who is now 12, loves going to class and now my nephew who is 6, joined the gym a couple months ago! Both of them look forward to the day I bring them to class.This is a safe environment, kids will learn MMA, self defense, self discipline, etc.Thru the years Butch & Amanda have helped my daughter to stay more focused and be more responsible and confident. She was not doing well in school when she started with the program however She has made such a huge progress that now she is part of the honor role at her school.They are wonderful with people, especially with children! This is a family oriented environment and I recommend them 100%

2016-06-30My daughters & I have all been members of Butchs Boxing & MMA and have had wonderful experiences both with the friendly owners (Coach Butch & Coach Amanda) and the other gym members over the past several years (no intimidation at this gym whatsoever...and all members greet each other when they meet up there- even if youre new) I have taken private lessons with Coach Amanda and my older daughter took the womens kickboxing classes with her before going away to college. My younger daughter has been a member the longest & has been in the kids class, Level I class and now is in the teen boxing class. Both Coach Amanda & Coach Butch are great & work with everyone regardless of fitness or skill level! They are excellent motivators and keep the routines fresh so they dont get boring. If youre looking for a great gym with a fun way to get into shape, go to Butchs Boxing & MMA!

2016-06-30Ive been boxing at Butchs for the past 6 years training with both Butch, the owner and Amanda, the boxing coach and former NJ Golden Gloves champion. Both Butch and Amandas experience coupled with their dedication and commitment makes this hands down a fantastic boxing gym for those who either want to compete - which I have and Ive won with their help - or just get in shape. It is a family oriented gym unlike any other. Both Butch and Amanda care about their clients and their families. Ive been in and out of the gym for the past year because of my schedule but every time I go back Im always welcomed. This gym is great for men and women of all ages. Unlike other boxing gyms that can be intimidating, Butchs boxing will make you feel at ease. Highly recommend this place

2016-06-30I have attended this gym for almost three years and I can say that there is no place better than this. I strongly encourage anyone who has the urge to try boxing or martial arts (of any age) to attend this gym because of its family friendly environment and strong encouragement to always improve on your skills. Butch and Amanda were very welcoming even when I hadnt been showing up to classes, they always encouraged me to come in and work hard. These classes are absolutely great, it boosts self confidence and health. I feel like I am in the best shape that I have ever been in. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GYM TRUST ME YOU WONT REGRET BECOMING A MEMBER HERE.
