I have my 8 year old training to be prepared for bullies which I'm not a fan of! After my kid was hit in the head with a metal water bottle I decided to take action! Self defence. Glad I found Coach Chavez. Blessed to have found coach Chavez. Thank you for training my boy coach Chavez🙏 ✝️CHAVEZ BOXING 🥊

This gym is an awesome experience. I joined the gym when I was in high-school and Mr. Chavez taught us discipline while being the most compassionate trainer i've met. You won't find a better coach in the valley.

I cannot say enough exceptional things about this gym. I had never taken a boxing lesson in my life, but Coach Chavez was nothing but patient. Don't get me wrong; he was incredibly intimidating at first (he has a reputation to maintain hahahah). However, Chavez Boxing Gym has become my unconventional second home. The gym's culture of support is pervasive, from cheering me on when I get my butt kicked sparring to surprising me with cupcakes on my birthday. Coach's attitude of respect and grit is infectious. Even the 50-year-old clients abide by the harsh "yes Coach, no Coach" vernacular. Apart from the culture, I can attest that my fitness and boxing technique has exponentially improved as well. Two years ago, I walked in not knowing the difference between a jab and a hook, but I now comfortably spar and throw combos on mitts. I can guarantee that lessons at Chavez Boxing Gym will not be easy. They challenge you, making you a more confident boxer and more disciplined human.
