Best of the best! Coach Rich is not only one of the most knowledgeable coaches I’ve ever met, but an amazing mentor and friend.

This is the best boxing training there is for someone who wants to or currently competes. Coach Rich is incredibly knowledgeable and runs a very technically structured weekly training schedule.

I’ve been boxing there and I’ve seen so much improvement within the 6 months. I wish I could give this gym a higher rating and I totally recommend!

Coach Rich is as good as they get, as a coach and a man. As a new boxer that he took on, I was instantly put into an Olympics-level training regiment. After building my initial skillset, conditioning, and technique, Coach has locked in on my natural tendencies and strengths and weakness, and he has started to guide me toward the style and experience needed to be a successful competing amateur fighter. Now, I am confident that I will one day win the fights I want to win. My path into boxing would’ve been much more uncertain and rocky if I hadn’t found such a knowledgeable, dedicated, and caring coach from the very start.
