Sneha S.Markham, ON153151109May 28, 2018I've had my Hers Kickboxing membership for around 2 weeks now and I absolutely love it. Once I completed the orientation, I tried out HIIT Boxing, Taboxing and Power Box. Every class requires boxing gloves; you can either bring your own or purchase/rent them from Her's. Gloves go for $32/pair and rentals are $2 per class. Each person has a punching target (Bob) used to punch and kick during the class.
The instructors are very motivating and encourage the class really well when we go through the moves. They are also aware of that everyone is coming into this class is at a different level and accommodate with modifications for the moves. There is a lot of importance given to form, footwork and using the right body parts to increase power in your punches and kicks (to prevent injuries).
Each workout class is 45 mins and during that time, the instructors take you through a warm up, full workout including cardio and strength training as well as a cool down. The cardio and strength components vary depending on which workout you choose. The website describes each workout really well and also tells you what level of cardio and strength is in them so you're prepared before you start. There is a mix of cardio (jumping jacks, burpees) as well as strength training moves using weights in each workout.
One part of Her's that I really enjoy is the online booking system. Their calendar view of classes is really easy to navigate through and allows you to book classes up to 1 week in advance.
I'd definitely recommend Hers if you're looking for a fun switch to your regular workouts!

Jissell C.Thornhill, Markham, ON101May 12, 2018Its been an amazing experience. I've always dreaded working out but I knew it was time and I needed to stay in shape so I decided to try it out. At first I was a bit hesitant and couldn't keep up with the class, but being surrounded by great motivators made it so much easier. I go 4x a week and I miss it when I don't! I love how the classes rotate and the fact that you can select your classes to fit your weekly schedule. Its awesome. There's always a chance to try a different class.
I would definitely recommend giving it a try!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0- Anna S.Toronto, ON0233Mar 27, 2016
The first women's only kickboxing gym in Markham?!? Hallelujah, I've been waiting for this!
Tried my first class for free two weeks ago and decided that I wanted to try the unlimited two week trial for $25!
All I can say is that I love this kickboxing gym... Not only is it WOMEN'S ONLY but you kickbox with a dummy named BOB (body opponent bag) which means you do not need to be scared about kickboxing with another person!!!
Class sizes are small (18 women, 1 person per BOB) and instructors are awesome. They are sure to make you sweat and push you to work super hard! They will give you tips during class on proper form and make sure that you are following properly.
There are many membership options and the prices vary (1 year term, 6 month term, 3 month term - unlimited vs. 2x a week). Check their website for details!
The owners: Anthony and Paul are awesome. All the ladies who attend regularly are fantastic and you find that everyone is thoroughly enjoying their time here. I've met so many new friends and it's one of the reasons I keep coming back (besides the killer workout) ^_^

Aalia J.Markham, ON021Feb 4, 2017I was skeptical trying out yet another fitness place but decided to check out Hers Kickboxing for a free trial class. I am so glad I did because I'm totally hooked.
Hers kickboxing is unique because it's the only women's Kickboxing studio in Markham. There are a maximum 18 people per class and you each get an individual BOB (body opponent bag) for a 45 minute class led by highly skilled instructors.
It's an amazing workout and I've been burning approximately 450 calories per class. If you haven't had a chance to check it out, it's a must try-your muscles will thank you!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0- Marie S.Toronto, ON01Aug 31, 2017
So when I went in there a few weeks ago with my best friend, because I was the one that was interested in checking them out, I was totally ignored. They completely focused their attention on my friend to the point of even only handing her the pamphlet, which I dismissed because I still thought it would be a fun new way to lose weight and have a good time. Last night I went in for the beginner's orientation. I felt unwelcome and my cousin who is very fit came with me and they seemed much more interested in having her as a customer than me.
If you are on a weight loss journey and are looking for a place that makes you feel wanted and accepted, this is not the place for you. I've been to many gyms and tried many different fitness activities and this has been my only experience with feeling fat shamed and completely disregarded.
The workout was fun and I would be interested in visiting a similar business that is actually excited in helping people of all shapes and sizes on their fitness journey.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Hi Marie, I am terribly sorry for the late response and I sincerely apologize for the negative experience you had at our studio. We had not been active on our Yelp account until recently.
What you experienced came to me as a complete surprise. You are actually the most ideal clientele this business is built to service. At Hers Kickboxing, our mission is to empower women of all ages and fitness levels to live a happier and healthier life. 95% of our members had never done kickboxing in the past. Many of them joined us for the main purpose of losing weight. And our fitness kickboxing programs are extremely effective at burning fat while getting you toned. Check us out on facebook and instagram (#herskickboxing), you will see so many transformation stories.
We are very aware of the fact that many ladies are very self conscious when it comes to their weight. Many of our staff members have also struggled with weight issues and even depression in their past. So we all understand how important it is to make sure that anyone and everyone who come to our studio are welcomed and cared for. Sorry that we failed to make you feel that way.
I sincerely hope that this is just a big misunderstanding. I have full confidence in the integrity of all my team members, who joined Hers because they are passionate about helping other ladies in their fitness journey. As one of them said to me, "we (coaches and members) are fighting the same fight".
Again, I am very shocked to hear about your experience. Not to find any excuse, but our small studio does get very busy at times. Because I cannot find you in our system, there is no way for me to reach out to you in person and to better understand what exactly happened that night. Did you come in using a different name? As you know, all our classes, including the beginner orientation session you attended, are by reservation only. There are only two contacts with first name being Marie and last name starting with S. None of them attended any class in 2017.
I see that you are not active on Yelp and this is the only review you ever submitted. I hope you can see this response and please reach out to us. I would like to invite you to come back to our studio for another class. Give us one more try and you will see everyone here at Hers, including our members, will treat you with respect and warm hearts! 
Jenny P.York Regional Municipality, ON021Aug 21, 2017Amazing workout and fantastic coaches! I have been going for about 3 months now and I really enjoy the atmosphere and the workout that I get in the 45 minute classes! I was never motivated before to get active but since I joined hers, I actually look forward to these classes! I feel stronger and much more accomplished than going to a gym alone. I wished I joined sooner!
