Punch Gym Norwalk

At Punch gym you will get a truly amazing experience, I’d go as far as describing it as addictive! In their variety of classes I can get my cardio on, strength train, pound some ropes or challenge myself with my own body weight in a variety of 45 minute classes. The facility is small and really cares about each member. The trainers are knowledgeable and honestly want you to leave inspired by your own progress. The members are supportive and rooting for you on your journey. Can’t find that at the bigger box gyms. If your looking for a place that gives out free pizza and bagels once a month this probably isn’t for you. If your yearning for a quality gym with dedicated trainers who want you to succeed, definitely give Punch a try!

I joined Punch in my mid 30’s. 8 years later I still go at least 4x a week. Before Punch, the longest stretch of consistent physical activity I had was 6 months at best. I would join a gym, do the orientation where they’d show me how to use the machines, promptly forget how to use said machines, get discouraged, repeat. With Punch there is a trained fitness professional there every step of the way to guide you, motivate you and make sure you’re getting the most out of every movement. You’re not going to find treadmills and leg press machines at this gym. What you will find are lots of kettlebells, ropes, tires, slater logs, barbells and more. But most importantly, you’ll find small instruction based classes with incredible members and trainers that will encourage you to reach your goals. Owner Stef and strength coach Mike love what they do and work tirelessly to make sure Punch members are getting an unparalleled fitness experience. I went from taking a couple of kettlebell and ROPA classes a week to training 4x a week in the PowerRoom and competing in Strongman competitions. I’m happier, healthier and stronger now than ever and look forward to the next 8 years with Punch!

If you want treadmills and elliptical machines this is not your place.
If you want amazing classes taught by the most knowledgeable and trained staff in Fairfield County then this is your gym!
Stefanie Tropea pours her heart and soul into everything happening in this gym: the staff, classes and equipment are all the most superiour quality.
If you are looking to sweat and burn calories, the upstairs classes include kettlebells and ropes that will keep you moving so much that you will forget how fast the class goes by.
The downstairs Power Room is one of the most unique experiences in a gym I have ever had. Small classes programmed by Mike Mastell will leave you amazed by how much your body is capable of doing, leaving you feeling stronger and healthy.
The atmosphere created by everyone at Punch makes this a gym that I love coming to and can not recommend it enough!

I love the place and wish I lived closer so I could go more often. I usually make the drive to Norwalk on Sunday mornings to do Strongwoman training with Stef Tropea and Mike Mastell. They are two of the best and most knowledgeable trainers in the area. With their own experience in the sport as both competitors and coaches, you can’t go wrong. The training atmosphere is very supportive and welcoming. I recently took second place in my fourth Strongwoman competition after training with Stef and Mike for just 9 months. I highly recommend trying them out for any fitness or nutrition needs. You will not be disappointed.

Punch Gym is amazing. The best trainers, real results and awesome atmosphere.
