Great environment, helpful coaches, and a hard workout. They give you feedback throughout the class which is nice and push you hard without going too far. The environment is comfortable and inclusive which you feel the moment you step through the door. Everyone in the gym seems to really love it there. I’m excited to go back, get into shape, and learn more about boxing.

McConnell's Boxing Academy is hand down the cleanest (practicing strict social distancing and health guidelines) and most community-driven gym I have been to. Working out with a world champion as your trainer as well as taking boxing instruction from Molly McConnell is life-changing. You learn discipline and technique from a master and most importantly, she and her staff are supportive of your health endeavors. They are your cheerleaders! Check them out!

McConnell’s is best-in-class for amateur boxing, technical development, and/or just getting a fun workout. The community at the gym is real and inclusive and has become a second home for the last 2 years. Coach Josh, Jenomi, and Denise are incredible. Molly is as successful as a gym owner as a boxer. Her taste in music could improve ;) but this gym is special.

Best experience EVER! I took my 17 year old son with me and we felt encouraged and challenged at the same time. Molly knows how to bring out the best in people and if I lived in Portland, I would make her gym a consistent part of my life.
