TITLE Boxing Club Ann Arbor

Great fast-​paced work out. The power hours go faster than you’d think. Some trainers are more entertaining and engaging than others.

I joined at the end of January and love it so far. Been boxing since I was little and need it in my daily life. The facility is clean and the trainers are great. Also, I love participating in their social media giveaways!

Great workout! Fast-​paced and fun. You can go to either a boxing or kickboxing class. There are group classes or you can take one on one lessons in the ring with a trainer. Every trainer has a different routine and they change things up quite a bit so it’s never boring.

3 stars for being OK.
I joined Title for 5 months. At first it was a good workout, but after two weeks it got to be really repetitive. The workout is mostly cardio, so not so much strength building.
The trainers will always try to sell you to get private lessons with them. At first, it was okay, but then it got annoying. Why won’t they just help me with my form with what they can during or post class? It wouldn’t take that long to give a 1 minute tip-​session. What’s the use of paying for a membership if they won’t help?
Trying to cancel out of a contract with Title is VERY difficult (See other reviews below). My experience involved contacting someone via email, calling back and forth with someone on a phone, someone else calling me back, applying on a website, following up via email after two weeks of no response, then emailing back and forth for the cancellation to be successful.
The one thing that really drove me away was the lack of a social atmosphere at this gym. You don’t say hi to the other members, don’t cheer them on, don’t greet or anything during the sessions. I’ve been attending there for 5 months and hated that lack of a social environment; other gyms I attended — during the first day the other members would be helping me out and cheering me on. Just not my type of gym.

I am a personal trainer, so I am inherently skeptical of any new workout routine. However, my GF has been going for a few months and really loved it, so she convinced me to come along for my first free class.
I entered in a clean facility with a ton of heavy bags, and a small gym in the the back. The people up front were super nice and were happy to help me wrap my hands.
*Brotip. Even for your free first class, you have to bring hand wraps. So be prepared to pay like 8 bucks for some wraps. (or you can borrow a friends’)
What followed was a 15 minute warm up session, 30 minutes of boxing, and 15 minutes of core. Everything is high intensity, with the trainers pushing you to go faster and hit harder. They also have longer and shorter classes, as well as kick boxing.
I was so sore! This workout is great to tone your arms, and shoulders, but what this workout mainly is, is core. Every punch you throw should come from your legs, and that is transferred through your core. Also, the HIIT nature of this workout is great for fat loss, so it is a good way to shed some belly fat.
I signed up for a membership as an add on to my GF’s. This comes out to $ 40 a month and you can cancel anytime.
Make sure you hit the back correctly! You dont want to end up with messed up hands. Luckily, the trainers will come around and correct you if you are doing anything out of the ordinary

If you need to cancel your membership they give you the run around. You need to cancel your membership at least 30 days ahead (that’s fine). I was moving out of the area and tried to cancel my membership 2 months ahead to be safe. You can’t do it at the location – they give you an email address for their employee who handles that. It took them about a month to get back to me… which meant I paid for that month (apparently her email was having issues). I sent the cancel paperwork within minutes of her finally sending it to me to make sure it was at least 30 days ahead of the next month. My account got charged again and when looked into it, they said they didn’t process the papers until a few days after I’d submitted it. That means that their delay is why I was charged for another extra month but they won’t take any accountability or refund me for that month! The actual classes were great but if I had known how unprofessional they’d be, I never would have signed up in the first place. I chose this gym over a more well known gym because of how much better they reassured me their classes were. That part was true, but they really need some work on the business end. When I move back I will NOT be signing up again and definitely not recommending them.

Great workout with passionate trainers who really make exercise fun. And hitting the crap out of a heavy bag is an added plus! All experience levels are welcome.

I would have given title more than 2 stars because I genuinely loved the classes here. However the management was awful. The person who sold me my membership left out several key pieces of information. Including the fact that I was required to stay for 2 months. After a month I called to cancel my membership and I spoke with the same guy who sold me my membership and he tried to keep me on for longer but I explained I was not in Ann Arbor and couldn’t physically go and he told me he would take care of it. However, they continued to charge me. I called again and spoke with someone else and she told me I was required to sign on for 2 months and was very rude and unapologetic. I’m disappointed with the fact that title is revolved around sales and making money and less about customer satisfaction. I loved the classes and instructors I encountered there, but the management was unfriendly. If you do end up getting a membership make sure you know the full details of what you’re signing up for.

Title Boxing, I love you. But I have to give you 4 stars instead of 5. There’s some room for improvement.
Pros: MOST of the trainers are friendly, membership is national (you can go to any gym around the country) classes are mixed up (i.e. all trainers do different exercises), if you get the Groupon and sign up after your first session with Groupon you get some free perks, classes are a cardio challenge with both boxing/​kickboxing exercises, plenty of classes throughout the day, you can go at your own pace during a class, the facility has equipment other than punching bags (weights/​treadmill/​some machines), PT training sessions are available, and lastly the facility is clean.
Cons: Price price price, parking, the free gloves sometimes are a little smelly, you can’t pause the membership for duration less than 1 month (What happens if I’m going on vaca for a week? Money wasted down the drain!), the schedule online does not list the instructors, and lastly my comment about one of the trainers — she was slightly «annoyed» that I asked for help with wrapping my hands after I had been there many times (isn’t that what trainers are supposed to do… Help the trainees?)
Overall I really enjoy Title and am satisfied with my 6 month membership thus far. I
Highly recommend it to people who are seeking an intense cardio workout to meet their fitness goals.

I have a friend who is tall, athletic and fit as hell. I’m not talking fit like The Rock, I’m talking fit like Jackie Chan. He does muay thai and goes to Title Boxing. He said they have a thing where you can get a session for free if you come along with a member. I couldn’t turn him down, sounded like a lot of fun.
The trial session was a great workout considering I was a little out of shape and needed something to kickstart my recovery from Michigan Winter 2013 – 2014. So I signed up for the 2 week membership since I was moving to Royal Oak later in the month.
I haven’t had a disappointing workout since I’ve been there, no matter the instructor. My favorites are Ben and Adam because they push you hard… but everyone there seems awesome. The problem is the price! If this place was more affordable, I’d be happy to make this my main gym.

I got introduced to Title Boxing by a friend of mine… I decided to take advantage of their free one session… went with a friend and after the trial, I was on the verge of dying… my whole body was in pain — but it was good pain, so ti was all good.
Fast forward two months, bought the groupon deal with a buddy and we went back. I like how they divided up the class into three segments — first 15 minutes is warm-​up, next 30 minute is boxing and then last 15 minutes is cool down… while the boxing portion can be fun; the warm-​up and cool-​down kicks your butt.
The other thing to keep in mind, you’ll sweat like no tomorrow, so expect to get wet… bring a towel and a bottle of water… it’s a great one hour workout and you’ll thank yourself for going.
The only downside is the price of their membership… it’s on the higher side — almost as expensive as lifetime fitness… not sure if I’ll get a membership after the two weeks are up.
The gym is kind of hidden, so you’ll need to know exactly where to go. It’s behind the ACE Hardware store; parking lot is limited, but park near the stores… the instructors are great, so far I had two different instructors and they make you workout!
OH, if you won’t like to be in motion or moving for entire 60 minutes, then don’t go… there is no time to rest in the hour you are there.

Seriously, I would rather do ANYTHING besides exercise. Dentist? Sure! Gynecologist? Why not? Dragging myself down the street on my elbows? No problem. I had done aerobics for years but it never really felt like a *sport*…that probably sounds stupid but it was just hopping around and doing jazz hands and shit. I saw the Groupon for Title Boxing back in February and bought it before I could stop myself. To get myself motivated to go, I pretended I was going to Cutty’s gym from The Wire.
I surprised the hell out of myself by totally not hating the workout! The trainers are very good and don’t yell at you and there are people fatter than me that go there to exercise. (That was a problem in aerobics… too many skinny bitches). I kept going and now I am up to 4 times a week AND I bought a heavy bag for at home. I still pretend I’m going to Cutty’s sometimes but I actually *go out of my way* to get there. Like, I will take the bus and walk to the stop with my gloves over my back, all bad ass.
Hitting the heavy bag is great for stress relief! This is the first time that I have ever felt awesome during and after a workout! Normally I’d dread going in, dread being there, feel like shit after but not anymore! It’s even better when I work on two bags during the free round and pretend that each one is someone I don’t like! I get to beat the crap out of the «people» and I don’t go to jail! Win, win.
I honestly can’t recommend this enough. I can’t adequately explain how much I hated any sort of physical activity and how much I really like this. I can even hang onto the damn bag at the end of the work out, which is something I couldn’t do at first. Still can’t do all of the ab/​core stuff at the end but I’ll get there… thanks, Title!

Incredibly friendly staff. Power hour workouts were great, but I also liked coming in at off times and working out on my own. Title Boxing is really only about conditioning, not technique. Since I’ve been boxing with another club for a while, I know what I’m doing and I was really able to just concentrate on pushing myself. If you’re new to boxing/​kickboxing, don’t expect to learn proper technique or anything resembling tactics or self– defense. Still, I had a really great time, and I probably would have bought a full membership if I were staying in town long– term.

I am a fat, lazy, and uninspired work out-​er. But I have to tell you this place is amazing. The work out is so challenging, and so rewarding. I’m 40 years old, spend most of my time at my desk, and I hate working out. But this place really gets you excited and ready to work hard.
They play great music throughout your workout, which helps when you are trying to challenge yourself. The workouts are broken out into 8 sessions (they last a few minutes), and then between each session, you do some aerobic work. For me, the hardest is the warm up (because I’m lazy) and the ending. Classes end with a 15 minutes core/​strength session. When I started a month ago, I could hardly do anything, but now I have enough strength to complete some of the exercises.
What is also nice, is that you can be in incredible shape (there are those there) and middling shape, and finally very bad shape (me). And no matter, there is no «performance» or «meat market» feel to this place. It is good hard hitting and kicking and working out.
The instructors are very positive, great workouts from Ariel, the Alexes, Alphonso, Tony, and Adam. Each have their own flavors, so you can have a different (but equally hard) workout every time.
Front staff at the front desk are VERY friendly, and helpful. It makes a difference when I am dragging my resentful rear, that I am greeted with a smile every time.
Also, if you are curious they will usually let you have the first session free to try it out before you sign up. (I think you might need $ 5 for some hand wraps, which I highly recommend).
So happy this place exists!

OMG! Love this place! A client of mine suggested it to me and I am so thankful she did! I am a runner so have no upper body strength or tone and I wanted something to help me with that. This will absolutely do the trick and help my running! The boxing workout is phenominal and it incorporates plyometrics and awesome ab work. It is definitely a full body workout. The one hour flies by.
Bonus, instructors are so easy on the eyes ;)and definitely make you want to work!
Try it you will love it!
