Testimonials

I cannot count the number of times over the years I have joined gyms with a great enthusiasm to work out and get fit, only to lose interest after just a few visits. That all changed when I found Punch Kettlebell Gym in Brockton. I felt an immediate connection with Denise and Derrick. They consistently motivate, support, energize, challenge and encourage me to set and achieve new goals.  At 60 years old I have surprised myself with what I have been able to accomplish, including my 1st Triathlon last year!

I am really impressed with the high level of professionalism, experience, and knowledge in the field of athletic training and conditioning of the staff. Gaining endurance and stamina with each workout also affects the way I approach life outside of the gym, as it gives me the confidence to try new things. My life has certainly changed for the better since joining. Thank you Punch! ~Jean

I recently joined Punch Gym in pursuit of getting in shape for the Massachusetts Fire Fighter Physical Abilities Test. I’ve been through many gyms and health clubs but they all ended in the same result. Boring time-consuming workouts that leave you dreading your return to the gym. One visit to Punch Gym and I was hooked. Now if you are going to miss riding the bike, reading Mens Health crossing your fingers, don’t bother joining. But, if you are willing to take one hour out of your day, get down to business and take control of your destiny, Punch Gym is what you are looking for. Kettlebell training, flipping tractor tires, swinging sledge hammers, clean and pressing logs, what is not to love? You leave the gym with a sense of accomplishment. But talk is cheap and results are what really speak.

After just weeks of training at Punch I have successfully passed my physical abilities test with no problems. I look forward to continuing my training with Punch Gym with confidence and excitement as my orientation date to the Massachusetts Fire Academy steadily approaches. ~Jeff Keach

Punch Gym is an amazing fitness experience. I’ve been an active member for more than 2 years now. I was always someone who worked out my whole life and I have to admit that Punch Gym is like no other work out. I am more strong in my body and mind than I have ever been before.

Derrick and Denise design workouts that work every muscle group each week resulting in a well balanced body. The best thing about Punch is that no matter what kind of day you have had, when you walk in the door the Punch family motivates you and gives you the energy you need for a great workout. I highly recommend Punch for those that are looking to get started or for those who are looking for a challenge. ~Jen Lang

Coming to Punch Gym gave me the strength to qualify for the Boston Marathon. I had run the Boston Marathon before but working out with Denise and Derrick made my whole body stronger and I was able to run the marathon even faster this time around. ~Mo

I have been working out at Punch for over 2 years now. I had put off joining a gym time and time again. A family illness forced me to take a step back and take a look at my life and this is when I decided to join Punch. From my first Kettlebell training class to the class I just finished up as I’m writing this, I have been made to feel like one of the family here. You get encouragement and from the rest of the class and you end up feeding off of your class mates energy. We may complain at times about the difficulty of the workouts but we keep coming back and I think that is a testament to the staff and the facilities here at Punch Gym Brockton. ~Matt

My name is Tony Gatto. I’m 66 years old and since 2005 I have had some major health problems including an open heart triple bypass surgery and three kidney operations. I’m also a diabetic so as you can see I have many health issues to deal with.

I met Rick Goldsmith while exercising and asked him if he could assist me in improving my health with supervised personal training sessions. Since then, Rick has provided me with a training program that keeps me upbeat, positive and focused on the correct form when exercising.

Punch Gym is not your ordinary gym, the atmosphere is booming (Denise!) with positive energy yet never losing focus on why we are there training. I look forward to that one hour of challenging exercise with my friend Rick and his beautiful wife Denise whose positive energy only makes everyone work harder. Where can you exercise properly, work hard, and laugh and smile all at the same time? Punch Gym!

In the words of my friends Rick and Denise — “Work Hard and Be Strong!” — These guys are a big part of my life… ~ Rick Gatto
