OBFT: Oakville Boxing & Functional Training

I have had my two children, ages 13 and 11, at OBFT for the past year. The classes are great - excellent coaching and a fantastic physical workout that leaves them tired, sweaty and fulfilled. They have enjoyed every moment of their time at OBFT - a rarity for a couple of kids who tend to run hot and cold on their activities over time. I recommend these classes for anyone looking for some active and engaging fun.

I signed up for a $20 week package to try out this gym back in July of 2018 and I was very happy with the private lesson I had with Scott and the group lessons offered.I began to go regularly in September of 2018 and have been attending since. The gym offers monthly memberships with unlimited access to group classes but it also offers class packages for those who are not going to the gym all the time.I love the community at this gym and I love the workouts. The coaches are friendly and knowledgeable and so are the gym goers!Boxing and Kickboxing classes focus on technique as well as conditioning. The gym also offers a program called FitRanX which focuses on strength and conditioning.I would recommend this gym to people of all ages as there is something for everyone and you are able to meet your goals in a friendly and positive space.

Great workout and very helpful staff/instructors.I felt very welcomed as a beginner

Super nice place. The coaches are Really nice, The students are kind and the place is clean. Highly recommend.

Totally disappointing experience. Went in very excited for my first class before signing up for a membership and no one was there to greet/orientate me. Arrived 15 mins early but another class was finishing (small space) so I wasn't sure where to go and waited outside. When the class left, I went in but no one was at the reception area. I walked into the main room and a woman passed by me asking if I was new and half introduced herself and said she was taking the class today too. I went to use the bathroom..soon as I shut the door the instructor loudly bangs on the door (to let me know we were starting i guess? So rude and uncomfortable for me, he must have seen me go in there it was only 5 seconds after!).I had confirmed in email ahead of time if this particular class would be appropriate for me as a beginner, but it wasn't and the instructor paid no attention to me. No effort to stand near me at any time to show me/explain the routine or make sure I could hear him (I couldnt) or make me feel included in any way, and neither did the woman, who just kept smiling at me each time she passed by with the group doing their warm up routine. I guess I was supposed to 'jump in' but it was fast paced, quickly varying moves and not approachable at all as a beginner. So I stood there watching, trying to figure it out for 15 min.No mirrors, hard to hear with fans, facility did not look like pictures on google, instructor unengaging, no orientation to unfamiliar space and overall uncomfortable/uninviting environment for me. Although you all seemed somewhat courteous, I'm not sure how you conduct new sales by being that aloof to the sensitivities of beginners. A lot of helpful things could have been said in email too before I came in to prepare me but communication from management fell short.I walked out of the class soon after the warm up ended during the punching sequences. The instructor just kept quickly calling out 'jab, jab, cross, jab..etc' with no breakdown of anything which is when I confirmed this class is laughable and no one gives a s*** that I'm there! A week later and as expected, not even an email follow up to ask what happened which is why you're getting this as a public review instead.

I would never hesitate to recommend the OBFT team to anyone looking for challenging but extremely rewarding training. In addition to the top tier training, I have also never felt more comfortable at a training facility before. Everyone coming through the door into the gym is extremely friendly and it truly is an amazing community to be a part of. They have helped me achieve my goals and continue to help me push myself to new levels that I didn't think I would be capable of achieving.If you're considering boxing or general functional training I would highly recommend you give them a try!

Scott is the best trainer I’ve ever had. I never thought boxing is something I would want to do but since working out with him it’s become my new favourite thing! 10/10 gym 12/10 trainer! (Lena is also fantastic)

This gym is awesome and if it wasn't for coach Golden I wouldn't be in the shape I am in today. I would recommend this gym to anyone in the GTA

Without a doubt the best investment I have ever made. Coaching staff were great and treated every newcomer like family. I was nervous when I first joined but quickly became comfortable and familiar with the people around. OBFT was crucial in allowing me to lose over 70lbs and gain confidence in myself.
