I was hesitant to start going to a boxing gym, but it was really convenient at the time. Ended up loving the workouts, the trainers and the friendly and respectful vibes of the place. Shaun has been excellent in working one on one. The gym is no longer convenient for me to attend, but I still come weekly to see her as I get more than just a great workout.

Have been training here for a charity event and from day one I’ve been loving this place. Shaun, Ray and Jimmy are incredible trainers and people. They know how to push you and train you for whatever you’re looking for. This gym has an old school vibe but has everything you need for whatever kind of workout you’re looking for. A bunch of great people that train there too who will help out in the ring or with just drills if you ask.

I decided to go to this gym because it was right in the heart of Chicago. It’s never too crowded, and the owners/ trainers have a wealth of experience and stories to tell. It may not house the next lineal champion of the world (yet), but it’s the best place to learn a thing or two about boxing fundamentals and history. Support local businesses!

This place is the real deal. The owners, Jimmy and Ray, are not only knowledgeable about boxing but also caring and honest people. The community and atmosphere they have created is genuine without the flash and overhype often found in other gyms. This gym is truly inclusive, welcoming people of all ages, genders, and levels. It is not intimidating at all. Members have a strong sense of camaraderie and treat each other and the space with respect. Highly recommend! 🙌
