Old school boxing gym. This place is for anyone who actually wants to box, not just hit a bag. It’s exactly what I was looking for. If you’re my age (middle aged) don’t worry about working out around a bunch of teens and twenty something’s, there are no egos here and they’re very welcoming. Tuesdays and Thursdays, the old folks do a cardio class that is hardcore. Instructors are attentive, very experienced, and are able to pin point what is needed to be improved. Can’t beat the price!!!

This gym has been around for almost 50 years! Lots of great history. Excellent coaches and boxers of all ages. My home away from home... both of my kids box here and I have been coaching at West Portland Boxing for nearly a decade.

6-6 is my record with West Portland Boxing! It's an Excellent Gym! Sometimes you think you have won but you lose. Just how it is as an amateur and sometimes as a pro. l
