Rude Dog Boxing is hands down the best boxing gym around. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, and you’re treated like family from the moment you walk through the door. Whether you’re a seasoned boxer or brand new to the sport, everyone is welcome here. Coach Dylan is an outstanding coach and leader. He breaks everything down clearly, pushes you to improve, and brings out the best in you — both in and out of the ring. 10/10 recommend. You won’t find a better place to train, grow, and be part of a real boxing community.

Hands down this is the best boxing gym in Connecticut. From the very first day that I walked through the doors everyone here has been nothing but welcoming. Everyday helping me learn something I've never tried ever before and making me feel confident that I can be a successful boxer. The classes are challenging and Never Ever Boring .The Best part is you can come on your schedule and work out every single day and do the group classes. The community of people that work out here are some of the most incredible people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting let alone working out next to. I highly recommend Rude Dog boxing for both Adults and children.

For any young man in the northeast corner of Connecticut, it’s important for you to learn how to fight and defend yourself. For those looking to get in shape, boxing training in my experience, is the most effective and efficient way to get in shape. Looking back, I have accomplished many milestones and improved my skills and performance dramatically under the Rude Dog System. Joining this gym had been the greatest investment that I’ve made on myself, and its paid off with an even greater return.

I can't say enough good things about Rude Dog Boxing, a great place for all ages and skill levels to learn from experienced professional boxers. It has made me stronger physically and mentally and has changed the trajectory of my life. My kids also look forward to the Camp Hero kids program twice a week! The coaches do a great job balancing fun and discipline while teaching the art of boxing, as well as leadership skills while making sure every kid involved is seen and heard.
