Hard Knox Gym is a cornerstone of Saint-Henri where fitness, empowerment, and community collide. Founded by former Canadian Kickboxing Champion Herby Whyne, this gym channels over 30 years of fighting and coaching experience into classes that challenge, inspire, and transform. From foundational boxing techniques to high-intensity Muay Thai and kickboxing, every session is infused with technical expertise and unwavering energy.
Women’s-only classes focus on building strength, confidence, and self-defense, while kids’ and teen boxing programs teach discipline, resilience, and respect. For those who want to push harder, bootcamps, HIIT Box, and kick-start circuits blend cardio and strength to torch calories and build endurance. The intimate weight room and personal training sessions cater to individualized goals, whether you’re boxing for fun, fitness, or competition.
Hard Knox’s roots run deep, shaped by Whyne’s Caribbean heritage and a commitment to giving back.
