The coaches here teach real boxing. It’s not just a workout class you learn real skills. I have been search for a boxing gym where you learn skills, coaches are accommodating, and the price isn’t crazy. This gym combines the best of personal lessons with the price and flexibly of drop in classes. I would give 6 stars if google let me!

Leslie is amazing!! Took the kickboxing class to try it out and it exceeded my expectations. He was super helpful, met me where I was at in my journey, and was extremely encouraging. He also provided actionable feedback and tailored the training to my goals which I was so grateful for. Definitely will be going back. !Gracias para todo!

I began training with Leslie in late August, overweight and aged 50. I opted for a combo package that includes boxing and physical training. After just two months, I've lost 13 pounds, and I feel more agile and mentally sharp than I have in years. Leslie's approach is exceptional; he combines encouragement, expertise, and a challenging workout regimen that keeps me engaged. Each session is tailored to my needs, pushing me to exceed my limits while ensuring I enjoy the process. The atmosphere at the gym is supportive and motivating, making every visit something to look forward to. If you're considering a fitness journey or want to improve your boxing skills, I highly recommend training with Leslie. His dedication to his clients' success is evident, and the results speak for themselves!

Excellent boxing gym with great coaches and vibes - for people who want a good workout with good guidance! I was ‘hooked’ after my trial session, realizing that Leslie was a caring coach who genuinely wants to see you improve your technique and strength, and isn’t afraid to push you to your limits. His coaching has helped me tremendously. The gym is a happy place for me — I always look forward to the next workout, and the team at Central Park Boxing always welcomes me with a smile and great music!
