The classes they run
“Classes are an hour long and are split up between a warmup/stretch session, a HITT/AMRAP/EMOM type workout on the turf involving weights, and a session on the heavy bags.”
“My daughter loves the kids classes and sometimes my toddler comes along to hang out in the kids room!”
“Whether you are an experienced boxer, trying it for the first time, or just looking to get a good workout in, I couldn't recommend SBF enough.”
“I have to admit, I was a bit hesitant to join a new gym after going to Title Boxing Club religiously for years, however, I am so glad that I did.”
“I mentioned to her that I took a few one-on-one training sessions at a boxing gym while in grad school and it was such an amazing workout and I wish I could do it again.”
“The classes are half stretching/HIIT workout, half boxing on the heavy bags.”

From the reviews
This is my third week at the Society Boxing gym and I have really enjoyed the experience and workouts. Drew, Ken and Heather are great trainers and instructors. They each take time to provide guidance throughout the entire workout session. I am very happy with this place and look forward to future workout sessions.
I don't think a written review can do Society Boxing and Fitness justice, but I'll try. From a pure fitness and confidence standpoint, I absolutely love what I get out of going here. I like to lift and run a lot, but I come here and the workouts challenge me in new ways.
For those who think a Boxing Gym is supposed to look like Mighty Micks, the North Philadelphia hell hole from Rocky, guess again. Right here in Downingtown is Society Boxing and Fitness, a different kind of gym. Conveniently located at 441 Boot Road, Suite 200, Society Boxing is a clean, modern, and fully equipped gym.
I started taking boxing lessons with Drew once or twice a week when I got sober over 7 months ago. I’m a bouncer at a karaoke bar and enjoy knowing that I am able to protect people that would normally be picked on in their everyday life. It’s a place where a certain demographic can be their true selves.
New to kickboxing? Start at Society Boxing and Fitness
Society Boxing and Fitness comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Society Boxing and Fitness
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
