I start going to Freehold Boxing and Fitness in March of 2013 and I have to say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Not only have I noticed increased energy but my level of fitness has increased. John and Imamu are not only knowledgeable about health and fitness, they have mastered their craft. They encourage positive habits that will ultimately become a mainstay in your lifestyle. I have never asked a question that I have not received an honest answer to, and have always been encouraged to research information for myself. I find it very encouraging that they both practice what they preach and would not advise any program or regimen they have not done themselves.
Their one-on-one training style is result driven and is based on the clients own fitness level. They are both very encouraging and motivating both inside and outside of their gym, being active in their surrounding community and mentors to area youth.
I would definitely recommend Freehold Boxing and Fitness to anyone who is serious about changing their life through nutrition and fitness.

I have been going to this gym for over four years and love it. Where else can you work out with a world champion boxer and his brother who is a certified fitness pro! This is a serious gym but with a family atmosphere. Check your ego at the door and that is great- Individual attention from guys who care about you. I am 41 and feel like I am 25 again. Lost 20 points on my cholesterol and 15 points on blood pressure, plus cut a bunch of weight and have kept it off. Be ready to workout if you come, but also be ready for some great results!

Freehold Boxing and Fitness haves no words how to explain or start talking about this amazing gym, workout, practice, fitness, boxing team. John and Imamu are the best brothers and trainers that I ever met and trust me ive meet before they are confident people who are confident about their clients like us who pushes us to do better and better every day train us hard for us to reach our goals and teach us better skills everyday and work our selfs in to have better body figures and with a good mentality rush that we all need in life. The gym is very clean and, organized they have a boxing ring for who likes to box like my brother and my little cousin do and a area for fitness and training who wants to have a better figure and tone up like myself and also after a good workout they have a area for a relaxing massage. I recommend this place for any body of any ages really profesional and good people environment. Thank you John and Imamu you guys are the best.

Hard to top some of the amazing comments about Freehold Boxing and Fitness. Imamu and John are the real deal. They are completely committed to encouraging their clients to maintain a healthy lifestyle through exercise, eating well and rest, as well as promoting a mind, body and spirit approach to achieving complete wellness. It's a simple concept that a lot of us seem to fail to accomplish because of life's up's and downs and the support that John and Imamu offer is absolutely motivating and inspirational. Love you guys!

I Love Freehold Boxing and Fitness. I have known John and Imamu for a few years now and wouldn't go to any other gym . They are both extremely motivational pushing you to do things you would never think you could. They are not just Trainers they are both mentors and friends. The gym is a family environment which enables me to bring my 5 Yr old son who loves it. If you are looking for one on one training or group classes this is the place to go! There's no place like it !

*****

In an earlier post I failed to mention Yameenah. This 16 year old is also a key factor in my training. She pushes me to my extreme limits. She is always there to guide me and correct me to get the maximum benefit from my work-outs. You would never think that this little girl has fists of dyamite and lightning fast speed. She is a sweatheart and a fireball!

*****

John runs me through a variety of exercises, "the full body workout." The workouts are different everytime and I have been going here for over a year now. Imamu has me put the gloves on every now and then and it's a good way to release tension and stress as well as increase eye-hand coordination. I noticed just after a few weeks of training at Freehold Boxing and Fitness a large increase in stamina, endurance, and speed. I still lift weights on my free time and do a lot of cardio, yet I still like to come in a couple days a week to get some variety in my routine. The personal training given by John and Imamu has been extrememly rewarding. They are both unique and humble gentlemen and will push you to your limits if you are willing to give it all you got.

Imamu and John are true gentlemen, great role models and excellent trainers. Always made it fun, interesting and challenging. Great family environment too. They were always friendly and welcoming and I never heard a foul word out of anyone there. I brought my 3 sons there and they made us feel like part of the family. Never expected a real boxing gym to be such a clean safe family friendly environment. Thought it would be intimidating, but it was great. Everyone at all levels fit right in, you won't experience that anywhere else. Go for a free session...you'll love it too!

I met Imamu & John during a class and they wanted to start a small group training. I was a little apprehensive to work with men but we gave it a shot since they were so friendly. We were all hooked! I then decided to bring my 16 year old daughter there for a short training session. They knew exactly how to train her without her getting bored for her age. I am now doing private sessions and group sessions and I love it. These are two men who are passionate about what they do and it shows. If you are looking for a comfortable place with knowledgable, experienced trainers that love what they do, this is the place to come!

*****

For Christmas, my husband gave me training sessions with Imamu. After my initial: No I am not going to a boxing gym" he convinced me to give it a try. Well, that was two years ago. This is a no frills all thrills place. From the moment you step in and receive that wonderful hello hug from Imamu and John, you become hooked. They make you feel that there is nothing you cannot do. I never thought that workingout at 7AM could feel soooo good. So,if you are looking for a serious workout with exceptional trainers this is the place for you. It is for me.

*****

Imamu & John are a great team! Not only are they very knowledgeable about fitness, nutrition & health, but they also practice what they preach. They will push you harder than you would ever push yourself and will get you the results you are looking for. And even though it is a tough workout, you find yourself wanting to go back for more!

I was diagnosed with stage 2 Diabetes over a year ago. The doctors could not get my sugar under control, though my medications were changed several times, including Insulin injections. Since I joined Freehold Boxing and Fitness 3 weeks ago My sugar levels were near perfect, and I no longer needed to take Insulin. John and Imamu saved my life.

*****

I've been working out at Freehold Boxing and Fitness for two and half years. The benefits of working out with Imamu and John have been unbeatable, I've obtained a healthier, happier, leaner state of wellness. Thanks guys for your constant motivation, and relentless push to "go hard or go home"!

*****

Working out at FBF with Imamu and John has been a life changing experience. Being a fitness and boxing fanatic, I walked into the gym 2 years ago and it was a no brainer. I have worked out in many gyms over the years but have never received the one on one attention I get here. Not only have I raised my level of fitness and boxing, but I'm more confident in my abilities than I have ever been. If you are looking to raise your game, you're insane if you don't work with these guys!

As a breast cancer survivor I count on a team to help keep me healthy. From the moment I walked into Freehold Boxing I knew Imamu and John would become very important members of my team. These are not your everyday, run of the mill, trainers. These men inspire and motivate me to work hard, keep in shape, and most importantly, stay healthy. I leave the gym confidant that my time spent at Freehold Boxing will always play a big role in my continuing to be a "survivor". I feel very lucky to have the boys on my team.

Three years ago I looked at my body in the mirror and was miserable. I don’t know when it happened, but the body I saw no longer looked like mine! I sought out a trainer and met Imamu Mayfield. How amazingly lucky was I to get a world-class athlete as my trainer? That first workout I could hardly do a thing. I couldn’t even jump rope without getting out of breath. Over time, with Imamu’s support and encouragement, I got stronger. Now I can jump speed rope for 9 minutes as a warm up before my work out! Talk about hardcore….after an hour’s sweat, sometimes, just for fun, I climb a rope to the ceiling before I settle down for my stretch! I agree with Debra’s comment about being stronger now in my 40’s than when I was in my 20’s. My abs were nice at 20, but they’re REALLY nice now! And the greatest benefits are the increase in energy, range of motion, and general sense of well being. Now John trains me too. With the Mayfield Duo, I know I’ve got a winning team watching out for me, working together to support me as I move ahead to even more challenging levels of fitness.

This gym is fantastic and John and Imamu are the best at motivating me to become the best I can. Love them both Victorianna omg and Nicholas

John and Imamu Mayfield are not only excellent trainers, they are amazing owner operators of the gym. As a mid-40s guy, I was a little concerned about the intensity of the workouts because, as most know, boxing (real boxing) is 1 of the most intense and difficult training regimens to undertake, but John and Imamu take into consideration each individual customers' level of fitness and their potential to individualize each and every session so maximum results are achieved. The atmosphere in the gym is serious, but there is a family-like vibe that encompasses and energizes the gym. I have been a client for 3 months and it is becoming an extension of my "home". The results are incredible and they will have you believing after your 1st visit.

*****

I have been training at this gym for over two years and I love it. As a mother of four, I was looking for a place to work out that is not your 'regular' gym. Imamu and John Mayfield are more like family than our trainers. They take a personal interest to motivate and help us achieve our goals. My sons and I actually look forward to coming here. Besides the professionalism here, there is such a feeling of camaraderie and being welcomed. If you want to see results and be more healthier, check out Freehold Boxing and Fitness.

I have been working out for 4 years at a local gym, but the workouts at Freehold Boxing and Fitness have pushed my endurance to another level. It's always a different workout every time you go. Overall it is the perfect mix of cardio, strength training, and boxing. Besides the workout, John and Imamu are very welcoming and can figure out exactly what level you are at and train you accordingly.

*****

Freehold Boxing :my experience has been phyiscally emotionally and philosophically enlightening. Where inspiration meets perspiration all under the tutelage and watchful eye of John and Imamu Mayfield the proprietors. Working out at Freehold boxing is a spiritual experience with John and Imamu as your guides. John Mayfields intuitive ability to recognize the days you would have hoped for any excuse to skip training cleverly steers you back on the motivational path. For the experienced or the novice Freehold Boxing is the place to be. Just when you think its impossible to last another minute during a workout look for their ingeniously placed missives and youll know youve made the right choice.

*****

Both Imamu and John Mayfield are the best. If you are looking for a no nonse place to go to get yourself in shape and leave your old body at the door this is definately the place to go. These guys give you the personnel attention you need and know just how to push you to go to places you have never thought you could get to. I have been going to them for close to 2 months and have lost close to 40 pounds already. They mix up the routines and keep everything fresh and are very flexible to work with your schedule. If you want to make a change in your life for the better these are the best guys around.

I’ve been a member of many gyms in the area always thinking I was getting the best workout but after my free trial at Freehold Boxing I experienced one of the greatest workouts ever. Each time going for my personal training has been a new experience. They are always changing up the workouts, which makes it fun and keeps you motivated. I have improved my endurance, balance and mental strength. In addition, I’ve also gained self-esteem and confidence through their help with boxing and self-defense. The owners/trainers rock, they make you feel very comfortable and know just how hard to push you. They are hilarious guys who care about all their clients and they are welcoming to everyone. They are also extremely flexible with scheduling so you can workout when you want. I leave for college in four weeks and I’m really going to miss working out here. I can’t wait to return next summer. If your looking for a great workout along with results I would definitely recommend this gym!

This gym will help you achieve your fitness objectives. The owners offer flexibility and an individualized fitness routine that keeps you (male or female) coming back for more! Try it for yourself!

Ladies too!!! This is not only a boxing gym it is a complete body workout and the trainers change it up every time to keep it interesting and fun. I have been working out with Imamu and John for 1 year. They are the most knowledgeable and involved trainers; you WILL succeed! I am over 40 and am in better shape than I was in my 20s. I used to dread the gym and now I really look forward to it. The personal attention and individual encouragement (Push!!) is just what I need to succeed! I gave my husband boxing training sessions for Christmas and he is hooked as well. He is sparring in the ring! The absolute best thing you can do for yourself and your family.

*****

I've been working out at Freehold Boxing and Fitness for over a year now and couldn't ask for a better gym! The trainers are knowledgable and really know how to keep you motivated. The gym is always clean, and has an authentic boxing gym feel to it. GREAT PLACE TO BREAK A SWEAT AND GET THE RESULTS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR!
