What You Put in is What You Get Out

Whatever effort you put into your training is what you will get out of it. If you give 100% you will have an incredibly rewarding experience.

You’re Not Alone

The Haymakers team will be in and out of the gym keeping track of your progress and getting to know you and how you’re doing. Therefore, there is no cheating your training, only cheating yourself.

Boxers will not be allowed into the ring until they are ready. Coaches will implement necessary training before they are approved to spar.
