I bought my 11 year old daughter last month she's in the kids class and coach Brandon is beyond amazing with his technique and how he trains these kids my daughter is excited to come and her self confidence is improving so much we will continue to take these classes. Really grateful for the staff and glad we found this place 😊

This place changed my life.
Trained here for 5 years (international student, then local job). I saw many go from clueless to competitive amateurs with multiple fights, including the golden gloves. The boxing lessons, mentorship and team spirit are incredible. Facility is great, you have everything you need to train. Everyone is welcome.
Just go! First class is free.

I've been training at Luyando Boxing in Champaign for almost two years now, and it's been an amazing experience. I always wanted to learn boxing, and this gym gave me the perfect opportunity. The coaches and staff are incredibly supportive, and everyone—from beginners to experienced boxers—is welcoming and helpful. The atmosphere is positive and encouraging, and the focus is always on helping you learn and grow. If you're thinking about getting into boxing or just looking for a great place to train, I highly recommend Luyando's!

The place that paved the way for me to become a champion-what more can I say! If you are intimidated about going to a boxing gym for the first time, don’t be. Everyone here is cool no matter the skill level and genuinely wants to help. Excited that they are also adding new programming for amateur fighters as well as a women’s class taught by Golden Gloves finalist Demi Ramirez. Check them out.

I initially joined to have a gym membership over the winter break, since the university gym was closed. But after just one boxing session, I was hooked. Very motivating environment, great, diverse community, friendly yet intense coaches and no nonsense style of workouts and feedback! You can pace yourself as you feel comfortable, learn as much as you desire and make some new friends along the way. Glad to have found Luyando's!

This is an incredible boxing gym with something for everyone. I've worked out in boxing gyms in the US and internationally. Some (maybe most) are pretty intimidating for beginners and visitors. It's a shame because a boxing workout is one of the best all-around workouts you can do - conditioning, strength, cardio all in one package.

Luyando's is not like those intimidating gyms. Everyone's friendly and there are people who are working out for all different reasons with many different goals -- the coaching staff is so supportive of that. It's a happy place full of motivated, enthusiastic, and positive people who are going for their personal best. And it's fun to hit stuff as you get in shape, right? So much better than just grinding away on a treadmill day after day. Give their classes a try!

I had a couple friends bring me along to a class with them, and I’m glad they did. All skill levels are welcome; the coaches genuinely want to see you succeed and you’re treated like family. Good workouts and they teach proper technique so you don’t need any previous experience; clean facilities (bags, ring, treadmills, weights) and excellent people. The morning classes are a perfect way to start the day, and there are several class times offered throughout the day so it’s easy to find one that works for you. Boxing isn’t something I would have thought I would like, but thanks to the folks at Luyando it became a highlight of my week. This place is a gem and I definitely missed it when I moved away. Well worth a try!

I attended this gym from 2022-2024 and loved it. Whether you're looking to compete at the amateur or professional level, train boxing privately, or just get a good workout, all of the coaches are excellent.

This is a gym where everyone is trying to better themselves. Since moving to the East Coast, I've yet to find a gym with as powerful of a culture, as much access to equipment, or as many quality classes as Luyando's.

This is THE gym to be at. I only wish I could've taken it with me.

Finding this gym was truly life-changing for me. In 2016, I injured my lower back, which led to sciatica and prevented me from participating in physical activities. However, this incredible place and its amazing team helped me gain a passion for the sport. Although I only worked with them for about three years, they have made a significant impact on my life. I recently turned 50, and I am grateful to this experience for helping me maintain my mobility. Forever thankful.

I would give 10 stars if I could. Great facility, great coach, great fighters, and great community. I’m new to the U.S. and never did any combat sports before, but I’m absolutely enjoying the experience! Anybody who is interested in boxing or working out in general will love the place.

I always wanted to do a contact sport. I also wanted to join a REAL gym. In today's time, many things feel like a gimmick--just for show. But this place...is not that. Luyando is real. Family feeling, too. You can feel the vibe that this is not your normal gym with weights and treadmills. You can feel that the punching bags and the ring are not there for show. If you are seriously wanting to take your skills learned and used them for competition, then it is possible. And no, you can't just compete. You earn it. Which is exactly what you want, right? That good feeling that you worked hard and earned this new you, right? Plus side, if you stay at it, it is the best way to lose weight, learn to defend yourself, and have fun doing it...of....course you will be breathing extremely hard; possibly puke on your first day; possibly say to yourself that your 1-2 punches are weak; and realize how much you let yourself go on delicious cake and brownies. But those realization will be jokes and you will say things like, "I remember my first class...," as you progress at this gym. lol!

An amazing gym and coach. Don't be intimidated and just come for a session and try it. It's a mixture of boxers that compete and people that are just there to exercise (as a group). Most people that go say they wish they had found it earlier. It's a place and experience you usually only see in larger citys - so a true Champaing Urbana gem. It's a melting pot of people from all backgrounds and ages and all are welcome. Having gone for a few years, Im proud to say it's my other family. Unless you compete, you generally work in a group. It will push your limits! If you've been boxing for ten years or if it will be your first day, everyone is treated the same.
