Joe has been instrumental in my rehab after an illness. He is relentless with his workout routine and he eases you in to the workout and when he feels you can keep up he pushes you hard. By the way if you don't want to sweat off those lbs. this is not for you. One more tip don't be late because we don't wait for you
I have been attending Joltin Jabs for almost 7 years and would recommend this class to anyone. This class is for everyone from beginner to advanced boxing skills, all ages and genders. For beginners Joey takes the time to teach you the right form and allows you the time to learn and get up to speed with the rest of the class. For more advanced students it is not like other workouts where it gets easy and boring over time, but instead more challenging and fun as you improve and learn. I have never had a workout that produces the kind of results on a continuing basis and a the same time is a great stress reliever. Joey helps all of his clients by passing on mental toughness tips and healthy eating habits. The energy and personality Joey brings to the class is what makes the difference to me and is what has kept me, and others, continuing to come back over the years.
I've been taking classes here for a few months now. Joey provides a great workout with emphasis on proper form and discipline. The classes can be tailored to any fitness level, so I feel like I'm getting a tough workout every single time. Also, many fitness studios will cancel class if there's too few people -- I've taken a few classes at Joltin Jabs where there are only two or three people, and I appreciate that Joey doesn't cancel.
Ive been boxing with Joey for almost 10 years and I can tell you its THE best workout I've ever had. I played international rugby and then worked with The National mens team and our Olympic team and he instills the same values. I always bring new friends in and even the ones that aren't athletes he spends time with everyone to teach them proper techniques. He teaches a lifestyle of being healthy, positive and is one of the most motivation people Ive ever met. For him its not about the money , he makes everyone in the class feel like the are getting a private lesson. Even when I had knee surgery and came in on crutches he tailored the workout to me and never made me feel like I was slacking, he motivated me to keep coming. Hands down best workout there is!
I've been a client at Joltin Jabs for almost two years now and use it almost exclusively for my workouts, as it combines intense cardio and strength training in a circuit training type of format. If you've never boxed before, it is here where you'll learn proper boxing technique from a professional boxer and trainer. The workouts are always tough and demanding, so if you're thinking about coming here, know that these classes are not easy and are not for everybody. But no matter what your fitness level is, everyone will get something out of these classes, and they never get easier.
The owner Joey always brings his signature passion and intensity to each workout and helps everyone push through when they're struggling. He's an excellent motivator and only asks that clients show up on time and give their best effort! He's a genuine and hard working guy who cares about his clients, and his classes will always challenge you physically and mentally. Not to mention Joey will entertain you, too!
The people that come here are great, and Joey and his clients instill a family culture. There's a reason why his clients (not to mention celebrities and athletes) are so loyal and have been working with him for so many years.
If you want a killer boxing workout in Philly, look no further. If you want to make excuses, go somewhere else.
Best workout in Philly hands down!! Joey brings a lot of energy to class and keeps you challenged!

Been here only a few time but Joey is motivating, super friendly and challenges you. Money worth spent. All the naysayers are overprivileged, self absorbed, people that want to make other people wait for a class. Classes start on time because Joey sticks to the rules.

Joey is a beast at training! He's stern and has rules it's what I needed after years of unearthly living. The class will teach you how to fight and win. We also have a great group unity feel. I can't recommend this enough

I needed to get my butt in gear for the new year. Better late than never. With focus Ave determination the Joey crew whoop you into shape. Just be sure to arrive in time, that lock the doors promptly.
This review is long overdue. I have been going to Joltin Jabs since earlier in the year and love it!! Joey and his son will motivate you and teach you the fundamentals of boxing. If you are looking for the best boxing workout in Philly this is for you. No experience required, Joey makes you feel welcome and you will be hooked!
I enjoyed the class I took at this gym and was excited about taking a second class. WARNING: if you are one minute late they will not let you into the class. The instructor came to the door and told me that this is their policy. I have not seen this policy posted anyway. They also told classpass that I didn't show up for class so I am getting charged an extra $20. This sounds like a money making ploy to me. I called, emailed through gmail, and emailed through their website and have heard nothing back from them. Guess I will be finding a gym that is more lenient and honest.
UPDATE:
Joey finally got back to me and started yelling at me. I had to hang up the phone because he was being so aggressive. Please see what he wrote back to me on gmail below:

I lost a customer? Big deal! Customer isn't always right! And the fact that you called me and fought me about this. ClassPass tell us to REPORT people like yourself! Maybe you should use better judgement on timing, because obviously you have NO DISCIPLINE! "
I urge you not to go to this roided out mess. I rely on public transportation and you, Joey, operate business in a city that 50% of the population also relies on public transportation. Good luck with your business. There are a ton of other boxing gyms that will provide good customer to PAYING customers.
Joey brings tons of energy to every class! Great workout and you may learn how to throw a punch too!
*** Just read the other reviews and these people are out of their mind. No shot you're finding a boxing gym teaching you what you'll learn in JJ. Complaining that he doesn't let you in for showing up late? Go join a gym where you can show up at your leisure.. Guarantee that'll be a sunk cost and you'll never go back after your first trip, because NO ONE is making you be on time.***
Joltin' Jabs is up there with the best workouts I've ever done. Joey and Joey Jr. are both awesome and knowledgable, and will work with you to make you better. They are the type of instructors that don't let you give up and will push you to your limit. I've been to 4 classes now and if I lived close to Philly I would have the year long unlimited pass. Save the money you were going to waste on a gym membership and sign up with Joltin' Jabs; you'll get just as much and more than you would with a gym membership. The cost is worth the 50 minutes of hell you go through in class! 6am or 6pm, Joey is fired up and ready to run through a wall. If you get Joey Jr. don't be fooled by his tranquilness (polar opposite of his pop), he's going to put you through the ringer just as hard!
The things you learn and hear in JJ will render in your outside life as well. I see comments of people complaining about the door locking at the start of the class. Take it as a Life lesson -- learn some time management and get to where you need to be, when you need to be there.
There's a reason that so many people are cult followers and swear by JJ; Hands down the best and toughest workout for your money being offered in Philly!
