I started boxing here back when I was 18, recently joined again. Even with the passing of the head coach and all of the changes that come along with such an event, the gym maintains the same professionalism and culture that it had before. Great for people of all ages to train whether you want to compete or just get in shape.

I know a lot has been going on these past couple of years. From the Pandemic to the passing of Coach Lopez. I started training at GCBG Ellenwood a year or two before the Pandemic with Coach Cannon. I really miss the Coach's and the environment of and in the boxing gym. I wish there was a way I could participate in the GCBG once again. I am just a man that has an heart felt interest in boxing with a drive to get back in shape. Other gyms just don't do it for me.
