Solis Boxing

Never really tried boxing before and have been working with Cesar 1on1 for a couple of weeks now and its been a ton of fun and learning a lot. I can tell they work with a lot of experience levels but can easily recommend Solis if you're new to the sport!

Coach Fernando is AMAZING; he’s knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about overall health (mental and physical). My younger son is a teen athlete who is doing an asymmetric sport. He likes to train with someone who is seasoned and wise in injury prevention, his daily diet, and streamlined smart, efficient and effective workouts while bringing out his best self. Fernando’s encouragement, experience, and kind nature can help anyone who is rehabbing, training, and/or taking up a new hobby. This new location is quiet, safe, spacious, and comfortable; plus, there’s ample parking outside. *duplicate post on Yelp-there are 3 entrances/exits to gym

Started boxing at this gym since Jan 2025 and have been consistently coming every week. For great reasons too, Coach Fernando, Danny, Erica, and Leon are all awesome. They've built a community here with people constantly striving to be better not just at boxing but with our mindset. All ages are welcome, and I learn something new with every class I attend here. I've recommended this gym to friends and family and a lot of them have stuck around as well. Really happy to be a member here!

I’ve been going to Fernando for several years now for personal training. I’ve had several coaches in weightlifting, bodybuilding, yoga, and crossfit. I’ve also worked with several physical therapists over the years for injuries both acute and chronic (broken arm, neck pain). My goals have changed over the years. I’m in my 30s and work at a desk most of the day. My primary goal now is health and wellness. I want to be strong and mobile. No coach has contributed to my wellbeing as much as Fernando. He has kept me capable and pain-free for years. Many of the things he notices and addresses remind me of sessions with extremely talented physical therapists, and the workouts he develops challenge and engage me in ways workouts often haven’t before. I could write a lot here but I’ll cut it short there. If you want to hear more, or are a desk worker with a lot of chronic pain, reach out to Fernando. I would be more than happy to personally reiterate these things and more. You are not likely to find another like this dude. 100% well worth it.

Review from a parent here. Coach Fernando is the real deal. He’s not only an amazing trainer, but just a genuinely good person. Super down to earth, easy to talk to, and really cares about the kids and families he works with. My son trained with him and learned so much, not just boxing technique, but discipline, confidence, and how to push himself in a positive way. Even after moving to a new location at 298 Lawrence Ave (South City), the classes are still top notch. You can tell Fernando puts a lot of thought and effort into everything he does. He’s also really responsive, always quick to answer questions, and makes you feel like your kid matters - not just another face in the gym. He builds a great vibe that feels like a real community.
