Great gym! I’ve trained all over the north east. It’s rare to find such a professional and knowledgeable gym, where everyone is treated like family.

Stopped by to do a Brazilian jiu-jitsu class. I’m a purple belt back in Atlanta. Had a really good time training with everyone! I’ll definitely be back! Definitely check these guys out if you’re in the area!

My very shy, introverted 15 year old has recently taken in interest in the art of MMA. Everyone at the gym have been responsive, professional and have welcomed my son with open arms! I would recommend this gym to anyone who has in interest in MMA or simply want to work out with a great group of people and trainers! Thank you Recon!

My daughter (18) and I went to try out a boxing class, and we were in the minority, there were about 25 guys and just us, as well as a female boxing instructor. We were intimidated at first, but ended up having an amazing time, and we have signed up for a private lesson weekly with Marielle, we had our first one today, and I can't remember having a better workout!!What a great place! Thanks!!!

I’ve been going to Recon Fitness for a few months now, and I absolutely love it. There’s something for everyone. The trainers are kind, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun to work with. If you’re looking for something new, I recommend checking this place out. You won’t regret it.

Recon is amazing! After reading such positive reviews I tried out a free class here and was immediately hooked. All of the coaches and classes here are awesome and each is totally different. On the MMA side of the gym: Rob's MMA striking class is great and he will make you get comfortable in your opposite stance. Henry's submission grappling class is ridiculously fun and he is amazing at helping you jump into something that feels so completely foreign if you're new. Darren could not be more passionate about boxing and is so good about teaching you both the outer AND the inner game of boxing. In the kickboxing class Jon is all about proper technique so he will help you undo all the poor form you didn't even realize you were doing. Matt is a pro Muay Thai fighter who is approachable and a wealth of knowledge. In Jon's MMA striking class you get awesome instruction while doing really fun exercises and he will whip you into shape but with a sense of humor the whole time.On the BoxFit side: Mariel and Lilia lead super creative HIIT circuit classes that will make you sore for days. Mandy is a lovely badass and by the end of one of her intense classes you will be surrounded by a pool of your own sweat. Eric is hilarious and will push you to push yourself!If you spend any time here you'll quickly get a sense that Eric and Mandy work hard to make this feel like a community where everybody is welcome. They do this in terms of offering classes at really affordable prices, but more than that through the way they authentically interact with everyone who walks in the door.I was pretty intimidated about walking into a gym like this for the first time but it feels like an ego-free zone where you get the opportunity to learn new things alongside friendly people. It doesn't hurt that Chris at the front desk is incredibly welcoming and there's usually a sweet lab named Rio waiting to greet you.For first timers:-First class is free! (They have gloves you can use if you're not sure you want to buy them yet)-Don't believe Google maps' lies; the main entrance is off of Bridge St., behind Dunkin Donuts, not off of Bridgton Rd.

After reading the great reviews about the welcoming atmosphere I was anxious to check this place out. I've been looking for a place to train and the traditional gym just doesn't work for me. Walked in with my girlfriend shortly before 6pm and after about ten minutes of standing at the desk without anyone acknowledging or speaking to us we decided to look elsewhere.

Recon is more than just a gym, it's a family. Not only have I been pushed beyond my limits and out of my comfort zone, I have been welcomed with such warmth since day one. I love the wide variety of classes and the enthusiasm of every coach. I started at Recon to accelerate my postpartum journey and to my surprise it was one of the greatest transformations my body (and mind) has ever gone through. I'm now two months postpartum again and back at it. Whether you are a beginner or seasoned athlete, Recon is for you!

My Son and I both go to Recon Gym. My Son participates in the MMA classes and loves it!!! He came in with no prior experience and the staff and other participants welcomed him in and helped him not only get started but to grow in the different disciplines. He was only 14 when he started.I go to the fitness classes. being old and fat I started out in the boot camp classes and it's been great. I feel so much better and have more energy. I thought I would have to swallow my pride to attend but the instructor(s) are so great and my fellow boot campers quickly became friends. this place is warm and welcoming and I would recommend it to anyone at any fitness level or like me with no level :)Thanks Recon for giving me a place to start back on my fitness journey

I love Recon!I went in 3 months or so completely new to anything boxing related. I was looking for something more exciting and challenging than just going to the gym and running on the treadmill. I was bored and not going to my old gym. I was welcomed with open arms and made to feel comfortable and supported. I now crave the workouts and attend 3-4 classes a week at a super reasonable price. I 110% recommend!

Recon is unlike any other gym I have been to because it's the BEST gym! If you're like me at all - not the biggest fan of working out, hesitant on starting something out of your comfort zone, and overall self conscience but need to make that change for yourself - start with Recon. I have never felt so comfortable at a gym and I can honestly say that I look forward to going to the gym now... YUP! The trainers and coaches are super friendly/welcoming and genuinely care about you and your fitness journey. I started with the 8-week Beginners Bootcamp to learn the basic boxing techniques and I now have a monthly membership doing the weekly box-fit classes with Eric, and work with Mandy on the weekends doing personal training. You could say I'm addicted. JOIN RECON! You won't regret it.

I found Recon through the recommendation of a friend, and I am very glad I gave it a chance. The trainers and staff are knowledgeable, supportive, and motivating. As I have grown, the classes remain a good fit, because they are designed to meet each participant at their current level. There is a deep sense of community and camaraderie, which keeps me motivated to come back. I would recommend this gym without any hesitation.

Recon is unlike other gyms, and that’s what makes it such an amazing place. From the moment you walk in the door, you are treated like you belong, because to them, you do. Whether you are a COMPLETE beginner looking for someone to guide you through working out for the first time ever, are training professionally, or somewhere in between, Recon has a class for you. They even have a kids program! The coaches are some of the best in their field, and encourage everyone to push themselves while having fun. No two classes are the same, and you will walk out with a sense of accomplishment, some great technique and a lot of sweat. There is no other gym that can even compare to what you get here. Recon is more than a gym, they are a family, and when you walk through their doors, you become a part of that family. I cannot recommend them enough!
