Services
Get into great shape with a no-nonsense approach to working out. This was the philosophy that Danny Hawk envisioned when he sought out a "neighborhood" location for his boxing and aerobics gym in Normandy Village, believing people were genuinely growing tired of common strip mall and fancy health clubs.
Our exciting No-Nonsense Hot Boxing workout was created and perfected right here in North Beach to offer the most effective fitness and weight loss program available. This is unlike other martial arts training which can demand a very rigid approach to the specific style being taught. When you first begin taking our classes you will find that you are out of breath almost immediately while others around you are keeping up with the fast paced music.
Dan began his career in fitness and self-defense back in New York and more recently taught at other gyms in the Miami area. His classes quickly became popular among students as they spread the word about their great results. After relocating to South Beach in 1997 he began to teach his classes to the masses during the height of the South Beach tourism and migration craze.

Love Normandy Gym. Danny, Paula, Gonzalo and Nick are A-List trainers, motivators, and mentors.

This is a place to sweat & burn calories, all while learning a self-defense craft. After years of gym shopping, I finally found a permanent home at Normandy Gym.

I've been to bunch of boxing gyms and fitness classes in several cities, Normandy Gym I have to say has been the best overall. Plenty bags, great traditional and & non traditional equipment. Open very early close late 7 days a week, Danny, his wife and the other trainers really work you well and my son and daughter both take the after school class which got them in the best shape and built more self esteem. This place a must to get in great shape all year round!

Rude rude rude. Discriminated against me because I am a woman, most likely. The trainer at the front seemed confused when I arrived for a 6 pm class. I asked if I could work out and he seemed confused again. I stated I was new and hadn't been to the gym before- I had just moved here. He said the owner refused to service any one without a Florida ID. I offered my lease, electric bill, and photo ID to show that I live here, which is proof of residence according to the state. I asked to speak to the owner and he refused. I asked can I please work out I live here and this is the proof. He refused

Today was my second class and I absolutely love it here. It’s tough but if anything is going to get me back into shape...this is it. Paula is so sweet and helpful. She got me going on my first day. Thanks to Paula, I was inspired instead of intimidated. This is a no frills, old school gym. Your first day might be like mine. I made it 45 minutes out of an hour .My face was beet red and I was drenched in sweat. Today was a little easier and now I am already to the point where Ican’t wait to get back. You are surrounded by pretty people (of all varieties!)with great attitudes and a desire

As you can tell by reviews, I have been supporting my local restaurants. My clothing can tell as well. I needed a gym ASAP near by and found this. If there is any gym where I can melt the pandemic fat off, it's this one. In fact, the best review that I can do is send you my before and after (which I promise to do). This gym is a no frills old school boxing gym. Paula was the instructor and checked me in. She was so welcoming and kind. We both knew that the first class was going to be intense for me. It was. You will work hard and you will sweat. However, just look at the wall of before and

Best work out I've had. Trainers are amazing. You will sweat, lose weight and it's fun. Not the prettiest place but I'm there for results and this place will give them to you. The owners and trainers make an effort to learn your name and get to know you. Go there, you won't be disappointed.

This gym is filthy and I am sure the owner/management is not following health department regulations. There is only one unisex bathroom that has not been cleaned in months. There is a terrible oder emanating from the bathroom. There are no locker rooms for men or women and no drinking water.

The owner does not honor the three day "guest pass" as advertised on the gym's website. Furthermore, on one occasion, the owner was observed screaming at a guest who was merely working out and minding his own business. It appeared as if the police would have to be called because it looked like

Outstanding, owner Danny and entire staff are caring, encouraging, and motivating while providing the best classes and sessions you would ever want. Kick boxing and Zoomba are my favorite. Environment is also unique in that you can work out outdoors weather permitting. Additionally and important is that the gym is spotless, always being wiped down.
My husband and I had surgery in 2017 and bought a couples individual
training package. Both of us feel elated we found this gym.

Love the trainers here, every day and every class is new and different. Has to be one the best ways Ive found to work out. Id like to think that I'm in fairly decent shape, of course could always be better, and let me tell you....taking one 60 minute class here I am soaked from head to toe. Highly recommend for anything looking for a fun and intense full body workout

On vacation from NYC, and had two killer workouts this week, one from Danny and one from Victor. I train at UFC in NYC AND NORMANDY gym is hands down the toughest boxing workout I've had in awhile, maybe toughest ever...but not impossible.

Amazing workout, great challenge and both my wife and I felt amazing the remainder of the day. I highly recommend!!

I love this gym! Signed up a couple of weeks ago, after being in lazy mode for a few years and I have to say that these guys know how to motivate you! It's not a fancy gym with lockers and towels, it's a real boxing studio with Rocky's vibe :)

I recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic experience in Miami! Great people :)

Ive only been here for about one week and I have to say there is no other gym like this. Ive been to expensive gyms, good gyms, bad gyms, personal trainer, diet, etc., and if you want to see results then, this is the right place!
Danny H. has a class everyday at 5:30 p.m., and boy--- you will sweat! I enjoy his class very much. Also another, great intense workout is the one Paula gives at noon. I like this gym. Danny would go up to you and push you to do harder, at the end isn't that why we join the gym? To get results! Go Normandy!

This is an old school gym, basically a boxing gym. If you are worried about a clean, comfortable environment like your typical chain gym's (like LA Fitness) then this probably not for you. If you want a true and complete body work-out, then this is the place for you. I have now been going for 6+ months now, but in the beginning I did not know if I could last. I stuck it out and I am very happy I did!

The instructors will work you HARD! This is not about comfort, this purely about getting the ultimate work-out!

Take a trial class (they are 1 hour pure Cardio classes) and

I've been a member here for more than a year now and I've gotta say, I'm still in love. I don't miss waiting in line 30 minutes before a work out to sign up for a class at L.A. Fitness. At Normandy Gym, I barge in last minute just in time for class to start.

The instructors are motivating and helpful. Other members are respectful and courteous. I seriously cannot thing of one bad experience in 1 and a half years of boxing at Normandy Gym.
