TITLE Boxing Club Chicago West Loop

I had been debating trying out Title Boxing for a few months, and am so glad I finally did! I went to the Kickboxing class and it was 60 minutes of non stop action. The first 15 minutes are the warmup with squats, jumping jacks, etc., and it’ll definitely get your heart rate up. Then the class is set in rounds working on upper body movements, kicks, and then putting all of the movements together. The last 15 minutes was a lot of core work and by that time I was absolutely drenched in sweat watching the clock count down because I was beat! The hour goes by pretty fast and the music and passion from the instructors will keep you going the entire time. My body was so sore the next day and I cannot wait to go back!!!

I decided to try out a kickboxing class after seeing it as an option on Classpass and reading the reviews. I was pleasantly surprised to read that so many females attend the gym. As others have mentioned, the owner and instructors are so nice. They made me feel completely welcome and taken care of as a first timer and I loved the class. I felt like a total bad ass and know I burned a ton of calories. The class really held my attention and all I could do was think about how I could fit more Title boxing in my life. It’s a 10 minute drive from my house, but totally worth it. I wish there as one in Wicker Park/​Bucktown, as I’d probably drop Classpass for full-​time Title Boxing, but in the meantime, I’ll definitely make the trip to go back to take more classes! I’ve already told about 5 friends about it and can’t wait to return.

Took my first class last night! What a great experience! Staff super helpful and fun! I’m so sore, so I know it was a great work out! Two thumps up!

I don’t normally hand out 5 stars, but in this case, 5 may not be enough. I joined in November and have been in every day, since, save for thanksgiving and a 3 day vacation. I can’t say enough about this location. JB runs a great gym. He’s friendly, helpful and definitely has your best interest in mind. The classes are fun. I’m normally at the Boxing 60 sessions; so, I can’t speak for kickboxing classes. However, in the Boxing 60 and the 75 classes, you get a great workout. Only a month in and I’m down 7 pounds and my energy is up, up and up. There’s more than enough classes and enough bags that you’ll rarely feel squeezed for space. That was a big concern of mine. From an instructor standpoint, not unlike any other gym, you have a mixed bag. JB teaches the 530 am classes. I’m a fan. Robert is in at the 6 am classes, in addition to being a pinch hitter when the normal instructors need a sub. He’s fantastic and probably my favorite. You get great instruction from him while getting a solid workout. The class attendees are great for the most part. But, like any class, you end up with a few people who basically think they know more than the instructor, ignore the instructions and generally think they’re above the rest of the class. Thankfully the class tunes them out. For $ 99 a month it’s a great deal. Although, I wish Title still let you float from location to location. For example, if you want to use the one in Lincoln Park or another city, you’ll be laying a drop in rate, instead of your membership granting you access. I think that’s a miss, but it’s not this location’s call; that’s a corporate decision. All in all, this place rocks.

Love love LOVE this gym!!! The trainers are amazing, super helpful and motivate you constantly during the workout! It’s so much fun! Love the customer service! Parking has never been a problem. Love this place!

I’m new to the neighborhood, and like a kid in a candy store, I’m trying out all the different fitness spots in town!
Your first class here is FREE. No Groupon required. No Livingsocial required. No Unilocal deal required. It’s FREE. Except you have to buy $ 10 grips. Okay so it’s $ 10, but I feel guilty getting something completely for free anyways. And the staff will help you wrap your wraps around your hands too, because they know you’re clueless.
I attended an 11:30 AM class on a week day, and the class was surprisingly healthily filled. ²⁄₃ of the group was comprised of women, ¹⁄₃ men. Way to kick gender norms in the butt ladies!
This was my first time ever putting on boxing gloves. I felt like Rocky for all of 10 seconds (Why isn’t «Eye of the Tiger» playing?!), before succumbing and being humbled by their hour-​long workout. The first 10 minutes you think okay, this isn’t so bad. But then the punching and kicking and kneeing and elbowing combinations really wear you down. In a good way of course.
The next day, my entire body was sore, especially my latissimus dorsi/​side back muscles from all of the jabs and upper cuts.
I will definitely consider coming back in the future, after trying out all the other fitness spots!

I’ve been consistently coming here for about 3 months now and have never been disappointed.
I was working out at a typical gym for over 10 years now and honestly got bored of it. It became too routine. I decided to try a free class at Title Boxing and I loved it so I joined along with a handful of friends. It’s a lot of fun and super challenging. You can work at your own pace and can always pick up the pace of you feel like you aren’t being challenged anymore.
The owner and the instructors are superb. They are very personable. They bring it every class and go out of their ways to challenge you. The music is on point and it really gets you going, especially when Julian is teaching. I’ve gotten in terrific shape since I joined. I highly recommend everyone at least take a free class and see what it’s all about.

I’m an original member of Title Boxing in Naperville (originally Rt 59 location) and was excited to hear about the new locations opening up in the city. I met with the managers of the West Loop location on my first visit and they’re very friendly. I love how clean and new this studio is and Julian and JP are excellent instructors. I’m glad Julian’s familiar with the Naperville location, made me feel a little at home: P
Their workouts are intense and different. They start on time and work you till the last minute of class. So be prepared for a good sweat.

This is your one stop strength & get fit shop! Love the classes… the instructors push you, have fun with you & most of all, bring out your very best!
They build strength & endurance with some mad combos… focus on your core’s strength & even throw in some street moves that I like!
They also offer personal training besides the classes & the staff are always ready & willing to help. They are very knowledgable.
Whether you’re a beginner or a skilled boxer, NO ONE will work you harder & you can go at your own pace to build yourself up, too.
The staff is also very personable which makes this place stand out BEYOND the rest… Gloves Down!
They have a vast array of classes throughout the day making it perfect to let off some steam during the lunch hour!
I fell in love with boxing all over again… LOVE THIS PLACE!

There’s a big difference between taking a kick boxing class punching/​kicking the air vs hitting a bag! It’s much more energy expenditure required for an hour long class hitting the bag. I can no longer take tae boe or classes w/​o my own bag to hit. It’s just not good enough of a work out. Everyone that works here Grahm, Vince, Chally, Julian & all the other guys are wonderful. All very professional, extremely knowledgeable & conduct a very challenging workout each and every time. The class is broken down into 15 min warm up, 30 min on the bag, 15 min abs & stretch. Vince blends really good stretches in between reps. He’s probably my favorite teacher there. I left in so much pain (like you’ve accomplished an effective work out soar muscle pain) I had to take a restorative yoga class the next day to recuperate. I’m coming back after all the snow melts cause parking is a tad tricky in the west loop. I enjoy this place and miss the work out when I hadn’t been in a while. Stick with these guys they’ll transform your life. True all around great martial artists work here.

If you are looking for a fun and rewarding way to stay in shape, you MUST come try out Title Boxing West Loop! I am trying to lose about quite a bit of weight and think the treadmill is just monotonous. A girlfriend brought me to Title Boxing West Loop. With the first class free, I figured I had nothing to lose (but weight). I was worried about feeling intimidated, but I was impressed! The classes are super diverse (men, women, young, old, pros, newbies). You can go at your own pace, you can sit out certain exercises, and you won’t pressure to go harder than you feel comfortable.
The gym is super clean, the owner is amazingly welcoming, and the trainers are all enthusiastic. They put their own spins on every workout and make the hour fly by!
I would seriously recommend this gym and location to any and everyone. I am already seeing results and find myself actually looking forward to breaking a sweat!

I had the pleasure of taking a class and going by this location a few times. Any place such as a Title, it is only as good as the people who are involved in teaching and training, and this club excels behind any I have seen. From the owner who is happy to great you and answer any questions personally, to each trainer who is top notch at every level working with you to bring out your best at whatever comfort/​skill you are.
Truly a first class place and I’ve been a member of many gyms over the last decade and this I would put at the very top as far as a place that will get you the results you want.

I’m a member in KC. In town for vacation. I am a black level member which means I can go to any club.
This is a great club. Lots of energy from the trainer Vince. The owner is very friendly. Compared to the KC club it is meeting title’s standards to keep their members fit while having fun. They will push you to make you stronger.
Some strong points here– clean gym, lots of lockers, loaner gloves, the music isn’t overly loud, great staff.

I have been a member at Title Boxing Club for the past year and a half — though out in the burbs. I work downtown, and thought I’d change up my own routine of both going home, and going to the gym, and exercise routine in general.
Last Friday I visited this new location to take a class here as this location is just a little over a mile from where I work, and a short walk to Union Station.
For starters, this place is clean… I was impressed as soon as I walked through the door. Both the owner of this location and trainer I had on Friday were both super friendly and I enjoyed my time there. I hope to return at least once a week to keep the change in my routine. The owner really takes pride in this place!
The classes here are run like the other Title Boxing Clubs — 15 minute warm up, 8 rounds of boxing (you’re done when the clock hits the 9^th round), each round is 3 minutes with a minute of active rest in between, and the last 15ish minutes is dedicated for core. This is a full body workout. This is the perfect place if you need accountability and get bored going to your regular gym and spending time on a treadmill or elliptical because I did that for years and that routine bored me to tears.
For those who are uncertain of group exercise classes, this isn’t your typical group class either. The trainer will take you through the entire class step by step, it’s not a class where you’re thrown in and have to learn or catch up to everyone like a zumba or step aerobics class.
There are both boxing and kickboxing classes and the schedule indicates what is going on on each day and the trainer schedule at this club changes weekly so there is always variety.
You will not get bored here, classes run 7 days a week, there are different trainers and each has their own style and technique and classes are forever changing. You will not take two identical classes ever.
You will burn a ton of calories doing this routine… you will also feel yourself improve over time and it’s just an amazing feeling!
You get your first class for free, so I recommend checking this place out.

Beyond 5 stars for Title, it’s awesome! Graham (the owner) and the entire staff are always so friendly and welcoming. The instructors do a great job guiding new members to achieve a good workout without feeling overwhelmed but at the same time keeping the veterans (like myself) working harder than ever. Every workout is intense and fun. It’s a great cardio blast and you burn tons of calories! If you’re looking to get in shape and have fun doing it, I’d recommend Title 100%. The gym is always clean and maintained very well.
Kudos to the Title West Loop staff for a job well done. I’ll continue to be an avid member for a long time!

This is a great workout! I love the boxing and kickboxing classes! The instructors are great especially Chaly and Julian. Graham the owner is really friendly and looks for member feedback to make the schedule work for people who work or live in the neighborhood.
i highly recommend trying a class!

Took a trial class this past Sunday at 8am:
CLEANLINESS:
Impressively clean (hope it stays that way)
CLASS SIZE:
approx 12 people
INSTRUCTOR:
Chaly exuded awesomeness all around. Charismatic… great trainer, pushed us and managed to keep smiles on our faces.
OWNER:
Graham is great… NOT the typical overbearing sales guy that shoves the gym membership down your throat. That & everything I listed above are my reasons to sign up.
I didn’t feel intimidated but challenged. I like that there’s no pairing up with someone way more advanced (& you feel like you’re holding them back from having a good work out). It was a craaazy-​awesome, workout… lots of sweat & felt a good burn for a couple days.

I came to class with friends and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it! I loved how class was both challenging from a strength and cardio perspective, we all felt very accomplished afterwards (and two days later as my calves and abs still hurt).
Class breaks down like this:
— 15 minutes cardio warm up — jumping jacks, jumping rope, etc. changing every minute (was harder than it sounds!)
— 30 minutes boxing — 3 minutes of punching and 1 minute «active» rest 8 times
— 15 minutes core strengthening — curls, some gluts, etc.
Everyone at the gym was super nice/​welcoming and the instructor had a ton of positive energy. I know NOTHING about boxing and still felt perfectly comfortable here. Everything in the place is brand new and taken care of to perfection, exceeded my cleanliness expectations.

I was really scared to start boxing. I heard that this place was great so I signed up to come in for a class, but I was hesitant. I thought it was going to be too intense and was nervous that the trainers would be very demanding and that I would not be able to keep up.
I have now been to 5 classes and am obsessed!
First of all, the gym is gorgeous and super clean which is always a plus.
Secondly, I love the trainers and the staff. They are so good about keeping you up beat and smiling and they are fantastic at teaching all levels within one class. I have learned so much in only a few classes and I am already feeling super toned, especially in my core!
I also love the format– the 15 minute warm up is challenging but the boxing at 3 minute intervals makes the class fly by and makes me feel like I can do anything the instructor gives me.
I am so happy I am a member now and am so excited to see the results in a few months!

TITLE Boxing Club: Chicago West Loop is amazing! I have already taken classes from four different trainers and I love all of their styles. While each trainer follows the same system, they are all great about putting their own unique spin on the classes they lead.
I signed up for a year membership and got a free boxing bag with nice boxing gloves (way better that the cheep ones clubs normally give away), t-​shirt, hand wraps, and boxing towel.
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a new workout routine that is fun, challenging, and sustainable!
