Coach E was very welcoming to my stop in training. He was awesome at giving individual attention to each of us at all levels of boxing. Highly recommend this gym. Can't wait to stop by again some day.

Coach E is friendly, supportive, and highly knowledgeable about the sport, as well as all the staff and trainers. He takes the time to break down techniques regardless of your level. Can’t wait to go back to Kennel Boxing in the soon future.

I might be jumping the gun but I totally give five stars ten if I could... First day there and I got my ass handed to me with the work out (mainly bcuz I don't work out) but they definitely push you but still keep you at a comfortable pace for yourself. Everyone is supportive and motivates just like Josephine told me they would. Thanks guys look forward to coming back!
