Boxers training in the ring at Heavy Hitters Boxing & Fitness Gym in Jersey City

Jersey City · Old-School Boxing

Real Boxing.
Real Discipline.
Real Jersey City.

A no-frills Jersey City boxing gym where the coaching is personal, the work is hard, and every member — from first-timers to fighters — gets treated like family.

The Club

We're not a fitness brand. We're a room full of people who show up.

Heavy Hitters isn't about shiny equipment or a slick lobby — it's about the work. Coach Jaye Baxley built this gym on old-school values: patient coaching, real discipline, and a room where beginners and experienced boxers train side by side without ego.

Hard rounds, honest coaching, and absolutely no attitude at the door. Walk in off Jackson Street, and you're one of us by the end of the first round.

"The coaches are awesome and the people training are cool. You definitely learn a lot here and you train hard. I never trained at a place where they acknowledge you no matter what level you're on."
