    Quick results? Definitely. Absolutely signing up for more classes after my 14-day trial membership. The coaches are friendly, motivating, and very helpful! I tried Christine and Emily’s classes and both of them are amazing. The studio’s atmosphere gets you in the mood that you wouldn’t feel the 50 mins passing!! Most importantly, I appreciate the cleanliness of the equipment and the place as a whole. Everything gets sanitized after 1 use. One thing; make sure you learn the basics of kickboxing (just come 15 mins ahead of your first class and they’ll teach you), so you wouldn’t feel lost during the striker’s half/kickboxing combos. If you’re a beginner, the coaches will keep and eye on you so don’t worry.

    Big Hit is a great fitness studio, even for incredibly unfit beginners like me. I was worried that the classes would be too intense for me but on a whim I signed up. I talked to the instructors and the receptionist and they were both reassuring. I would recommend the Smart series of classes for anyone needing to start slow with kickboxing, but know that you're encouraged to go at your own pace if you need to. This is a great way to try kickboxing or get back into striking after a long, sedentary pandemic.

    Big Hit is one of the best studios for a quick yet efficient workout. Amazing staff and coaches. This is where you will sweat, get fit, and unwind! Highly recommended

  • 5/5 Tejean S. 5 months ago on Google
    Big Hit Kickboxing Studio deserves every bit of a 5-star rating! I've been a loyal member for over 5 years, even before they opened the new Fort York location. My introduction to kickboxing came through my wife, and what started as a casual addition to my fitness routine has become an integral part. The studio's vibe, especially when the lights go on and the loud music starts Bumping in the beatbox, creates an unbeatable atmosphere. As a former athlete, that feeling of getting in the zone is unparalleled. The coaches, especially Christine, are incredible. Her dedication and passion for kickboxing are evident. As a personal trainer myself, I appreciate when someone goes above and beyond, introducing combos that mimic real-life scenarios. The 'Smart Box' class is a personal favourite, allowing me to revisit the basics and sharpen my striking tools. Christine's attentive corrections make a significant difference. Overall, Big Hit Kickboxing Studio provides a fantastic environment for all fitness levels. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

    I was very nervous to start but I was instantly put at ease when I dropped in to get some information. The trainers are awesome! Very friendly and quick to offer mods for the moves I can't do. The classes are fast and an hour goes by in an instant. I am able to go at my own pace and ability. Excellent for anyone regardless of size, age, or athletic ability!! Love it!

    Workouts here are fun and challenging. The coaches try to make sure you have your form right and guide you as well through the workouts. The space is really clean too. Highly recommend!

    My friends and I love Big Hit! We came here for the 2 week first timer trial and I came here a total of 13 times because we love it so much. We LOVE all the coaches, Christine, Reggie, Olivia and Reggie are all amazing. Definitely our fav workout class in Toronto!! TJ's always super friendly and helpful at the front desk as well ☺️

    Have been going here for two months after not working out for almost two years. Coaches were amazing! Super patient with me and extremely helpful. Classes are such a great workout, you feel amazing right after. With a variety of options and suitable for all levels. After the trial, I immediately signed up and have included this in my daily routine now. 1000% recommend!

    Went to my first class on Thursday and it was great! For those that are new to boxing or kickboxing, the coaches will take the time to show you how to properly throw strikes so you don't hurt yourself. From the moment I walked in to the time I left, it was a great experience from the staff and instructors. The 50/50 split of boxing and resistance training works really well to get your heart rate going, work up a sweat, and to get a full body workout. Highly recommend for anyone looking to try a new workout, or is thinking of slowly starting to get into a fight sport

    We went to a kickboxing class at night with Olivia as our instructor and it was an amazing experience! She was really patient with us being new, and really motivated us. It was honestly so much fun. Shoutout to coach Olivia 🫰🏻

    Went to my first kickboxing class at Big Hit and it was great! Michelle and Ugo were so friendly during the FlowBox class, helpful and welcoming. This made the new experience so much more memorable, I will definitely be back!

    Highly, highly recommend Big Hit! Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, the team works hard to correct your form and ensures you get best workout possible. Christine, thanks for making these classes addicting, challenging (in a good way), and fun! Rosie and TJ at front desk are incredibly welcoming!

    It's truly a great experience having workouts at Big Hit Fort York. Started with 14 days beginner trial. and will be starting to be a regular here for sure. The trainers are amazing, classes are intense, challenging and fun, plus the workouts are not repetitive, so it's not boring. The studio is organized, neat, clean and you don't even realize how time flies here. Feeling already better, and recommended for sure.

    The facility is top notch. Really clean and put together place. The staff and instructor were professional and helpful as it was my first time trying the program. I like how there is a space for decompressing and stretching before/ after your class and that the washrooms are clean! Also, the music that was played during the program was awesome and really made the experience more motivating and fun.

    Great studio and super beginner friendly. I’ve been to a few classes with Olivia, and she is always so welcoming and patient, and provides extra coaching to beginners throughout the class. Wraps and gloves are available for rent for a small fee. Be prepared for a good sweat and a challenge that leaves you wanting to come back! Highly recommend!

    I started taking classes here last August when I was feeling down on myself coming out of lockdown. I'd walked by many times, but never tried a class because I figured I'd only embarrass myself. The coaches immediately dispelled that narrative for me. They're all so lovely and encouraging. I can't begin to describe how grateful I am for the confidence they've helped me rediscover.

    I seriously love this studio! I started taking classes at Big Hit around a year ago and kickboxing was new to me. I loved the idea of a class that incorporated both kickboxing and traditional weight-lifting exercises. I’m completely hooked and love working out in the BeatBox!!! All of the coaches are so amazing too - they push you to challenge yourself while reminding you to listen to your body and modify the exercise where you need to, which I really appreciate! Such a great environment. I highly recommend!

    Great experience boxing here, the studio is well equipped with weights and punching dummies. The class covers a lot of advanced kickboxing combos and some high intensity weights. I had a fantastic workout in my first class here and will be back soon!

    Went for my first Big Hit last weekend through Classpass with my friend. It was a lot of fun and i see all the hype. Our instructor was very helpful and motivating. I did feel the class we did was not as challenging as I though it would be for me - keep in mind - I already train a lot and come from professional athletic background. I still would recommend it, just it felt a little beginner and less intense than I am used to. STILL AMAZING.

    Everyone is so nice. If you are new they help you to get through it with lots of tips and guidance. The front staff is so so so kind and welcoming and so are the coaches. Smaller classes are better if you are worried about not knowing what are you doing (or if you are just terrible around people lol like me) but the busiest classes are also good and you can feel the hype. It really is an amazing gym!!

    The hardest part of exercising has always been the process of getting myself mentally and physically ready to head out of the house. The thought of running on a treadmill always seemed so boring and tedious, unless you're an avid jogger who loves to run. That is the beauty of Big Hit. It's fun. I look forward to it. Everyday is different. Kickboxing is the type of exercise that is enjoyable. It releases all that stress/aggression and you're learning a new skill while doing it. The staff is remarkable. The space is welcoming. But most importantly; the coaches rock. They always great you with a huge smile. They're genuinely happy to see you again and again. I can't recommended this place enough. Thanks to everyone there for getting me to start taking care of my mind and body again.

    If you’re looking for a great way to start the day, look no further!!! Went to the 7am class and it was an awesome experience:) The staff and coaches were super friendly, and the structure of the class was well-thought out. Resistance training + boxing is certainly a nice combo that helps gets your heartbeat up, and you’ll feel energized afterwards!! Would love to visit again :)

    I had my first class here on Tuesday, and I loved it! The 50 minutes flew by, and it was fun. The instructor was great at keeping everyone motivated, while also helping everyone with their form. Can't wait to make this a regular part of my routine.

    I have referred two people to Big Hit studios since starting a little under a week ago. The trainers are incredible! Emily is so fun and incredibly helpful. It's always clean and you can't find the remixes they play here anywhere else. Workouts are intense, but the big fans and neon lights make you want to keep going as long as you can! Would highly recommend anyone looking for a workout that will put them in great shape with fast results!

    Loved my boxing workout here! Instructor was helpful and class was fun, 1 hour went by so fast. Definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Christopher Antoinette Dela C. 2 years ago on Google
    Ask everyone I know. I speak so highly of this place and it was love at first class! It’s a full body workout and super efficient as you get so much done in under an hour! Highly recommend as I’ve already recruited 2 friends and still plan to keep telling everyone! The trial is an amazing deal and there’s nothing like getting your own gear with it to motivate you. I’ve been going 3x a week for the last month and a half and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. The coaches are so helpful and motivating, and they are super personable! I plan to keep coming :)

    love it been a member since 2015 when they had a location in liberty village. Love the instructions and its def a good way to let off some steam after work, the coaches are super professional and classes are FUN

  • 5/5 Sharan M. 1 year ago on Google
    BigHit 🙌🏽 It’s always a rewarding experience that never disappoints!!! Highly recommend to anyone new looking to join. So much more fun than going to an ordinary gym. I look forward to each class and find the work outs are challenging, they always switch it up so it’s not the same. The studio is kept very clean, Big Hit Team & members are extremely friendly. Thank you to all coaches for getting us hooked and always coming back! 💥 🥊 Special S/O to coach CDC who’s simply the best, always brings it and continues to challenge with her support and motivation.

  • 5/5 Funda Y. 6 months ago on Google
    It was my first time in the studio and it was Awesome! TJ was great guiding me and the instructor Christine was amazing as very helpful. 💛🥵 it was a full body workout I didn't know I needed.

  • 5/5 Zihan L. 6 months ago on Google
    I've undergone training for more than a year with fantastic coaches and a well-organized class structure. Opting for this has been a great way to alleviate work pressure and embrace the burnout. I've had an excellent training experience with Christine, Olivia, Emily, and Reggie. Michelle, in particular, is always patient and helpful. - Alex

  • 5/5 Nabil K. 6 months ago on Google
    Today was my first class at BigHit and it was so amazing! Our instructor, Christine, was so accommodating and took the time to make sure we were okay throughout the class. Will definitely be coming back!

  • 5/5 Saara M. 6 months ago on Google
    Big hit was the best! Tried the revbox class for the first time and Christine took the time beforehand to walk us through. She was so kind and patient and helped us through our first class to make sure we were comfortable and weren’t going to hurt ourselves. Will definitely be back :)

  • 5/5 Jennifer A. 1 year ago on Google
    If I could rate Big Hit with 100 stars I would, Coaches are amazing, and always feel good and happy with myself at the end of every class, my health and resistance had have a big improvement thanks to these amazing classes, Thank you all the big hit coaches, I'm on my way to be more healthy. I never thought that kickboxing would be my favorite workout, I love Big hit! 100/100 ☆

  • 5/5 Darshan B. 6 months ago on Google
    Today was my first time at Big Hit. Andy at the reception was very nice and accommodating. He helped me move my appointment and was very helpful. I had an upper body workout and kickboxing with coach Olivia and I absolutely loved it. It was a nice HIIT session followed by kickboxing. I was very tired and satisfied with the level of workout as a beginner. The instructions were clear and broken down to simple steps. The workout area is sanitized between workouts. They even provided us with cold towels at the end. The premises have all the facilities from changing room, shower room and a stretching area. All of them are clean and well maintained. 10/10 coming back here once a week

  • 5/5 Anuja G. 8 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Alanna R. 8 months ago on Google
    Love this place so much! Great instructors, great music, and the energy is superb. Always a sweaty, fun workout. I haven’t found an exercise class that I enjoy as much as this one. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Sanam P. 8 months ago on Google
    Have been frequenting the gym since the start of the year. Stumbled upon it on class pass and kept returning. It's a high paced, fun kick boxing class - non traditional in its format that keeps me engaged! Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Naguilar A. 9 months ago on Google
    I love this place, the coches are great, and the classes perfect for you to be fit in a very unique way. The facilities are super clean and spacious. Is also great that it does not get very packed thanks to the reservation. If you are bored of the gym and want to be fit in a more engaiging way this is definitely a must try!

  • 5/5 Mariam B. 9 months ago on Google
    Great studio to get your cardio in! Amazing coaches, clean, has towel services and lockers. Highly recommend if you live nearby.

  • 5/5 Cameron M. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a fun and welcoming environment! I started in December 2022 and was initially nervous to go, but the instructor pulls you in early before anyone else to give you a low down on the class and strikes. It was a great workout and a lot of fun. Have been going ever since!

  • 5/5 Briana P. 9 months ago on Google
    Absolutely love this place. I’ve been going here since February and have such good results. All the instructors are so helpful and incredibly nice.

  • 5/5 Stephanie B. 11 months ago on Google
    I love this kickboxing studio. Wish I could attend more classes. The coaches, especially Olivia and Christine, provide great feedback and are patient if you need a recap of the strike combos. These classes combine intense workouts with fun. It’s an excellent way to cross train too (my main sport is horseback riding, dressage, and I think these classes are helpful for building flexibility and strength in areas I need for riding). I recommend this place to everyone honestly.

  • 3/5 Dannie 5 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Have been coming here for more than six months and would love to continue if the music wasn't blasting like a club, way too loud during classes!! Pros: - Great coaches like Olivia and Christine who take the time to make sure your posture is right while doing different moves. - The strike & lift format with warm-up and cooldown for each class keeps things interesting. - Like that they have a smart box technique class which was helpful when I joined. Downside it's offered really late on Wednesdays and is now only 30 minutes, used to be 50 minutes. - They have helpful front end staff like Michelle, Andy and Rosie. Cons: - Music is way too loud and have brought up this issue to management and the response was the owners like it loud as it's in keeping with their competitors. I have been to other martial arts classes/gyms and never had to wear earplugs during a class! - Most classes you have to wear earplugs because the music is super loud so unless you like wearing earplugs while working out or don't mind going deaf, think before you join here. The music didn't always used to be blaring, not sure why they decided to increase the volume in recent months.

    First timer and it was amazing!! Didn’t know what to expect and was a bit nervous, but the staff was super helpful and Anthony’s class was unreal! He took the time to ensure that the newbies were well acquainted with the environment and performing at our best. Definitely signing up for more classes :). 10 stars!
