Empire boxing is a great place for anyone, someone who has never boxed a day in their life, to athletes and kids. There is something for everyone to learn. For myself, I enjoy learning a new skill by conditioning both my brain and my body. I’m not looking to be a fighter, but we have the no contact option so it’s not intimidating. You will get a great workout and really work on the fundamentals skills of boxing. I highly recommend!

Empire Boxing has been a game changer! My son (14) has been attending the kids’ classes for a couple of months now and wow, what a difference it has made. His confidence is higher, he is stronger, he is spending more time off the computer/video games and his mood has been more positive overall. He can’t wait to go to class every week. Initially, I was hesitant to let him try the sport, as I was afraid of potential injuries and impacts to his brain health. But Coach Adam and his staff are parents too and after observing a few times, I realized they take great care to teach all the proper techniques. It’s not just a pummel fest! The majority of the class/coaching time is spent on strengthening , conditioning and some drills. When they do get in the ring for sparring, it’s done in a controlled manner, under a watchful eye and all the proper safety equipment is used and maintained well. This is the first time I’ve seen my son become truly passionate about a sport. Would I rather my son choose track, swimming, tennis, or some other sport where there’s no hitting involved? Sure. But I can’t deny the positive impact the coaches and this gym has had on my son. Excited to continue the growth journey!

I've been going to empire boxing for 9 months now and it has changed my life. The coaches truly invest their heart and soul into helping you learn and grow. I have more confidence knowing how to box as well. I never thought I'd like boxing as much as I do now and I couldn't imaging training anywhere else!

Had my first day of training. I was met by Coach Adam who was extremely professional and welcoming.
Walking into a gym can be very intimidating and I was put at ease right away.
As awkward as training was (feels like I have two left feet), Coach Ryan was great at critiquing the wrongs while finding my success.
Gym was clean and well equipped. Very excited to continue my journey.

Joining empire boxing has been a positive experience overall. The coaches can coach anyone at any skill level and care about the progression of the students. The other gym members are friendly and welcoming. It's a fun environment where you will learn traditional western boxing. Personal training and classes are both worth it. Boxing is excellent exercise, and it's a fun and useful skill to learn

I have loved every moment of boxing class since I signed up in February! My health and happiness has sky rocketed with this new hobby. And I honestly wonder if I would have even stuck with it, or had half the fun I've had if I had gone anywhere else. Learning to box is why I started, and the coaches and community around Empire Boxing are why I've stuck around.

I can not say enough about the supportive & high energy coaches at Empire. My 15 year old daughter started and was hooked on day one. It has helped her confidence, focus at school and challenged her to be stronger physically and mentally.

If you’re interested in legit western boxing training, this is the place. All the coaches are very experienced and knowledgeable, they facilitate a great training atmosphere. Whether you are looking to get in shape, learn self defense, or train to compete, coach Adam and his team will get you on point. My 15 y/o son has been training here for a year from zero experience to just recently having his second amateur bout. I’ve seen a significantly positive improvement in all aspects of my son’s life. Highly recommend!

I love Empire Boxing, I have been coming here for 2 years off and on. Adam is the heartbeat of this place. He listens to your story and makes sure you are getting what you need from the workouts, I had knee issues and he always made sure I was working to my ability but still learning and improving. The atmosphere is awesome both stimulating and positive! There’s a variety of classes and open gym time, also lessons, which I took and loved!!! Adam is very encouraging and just an all around amazing coach/trainer. This place is for everyone, serious up and coming boxers, clients who just want to learn and classes of people getting fit and learning a new way of moving, even kids classes. I am 65 year old female, fit and energetic. I cannot say enough about this place. It is a gem and I’ve never been anywhere like it. So worth it…..I Love it!!!

I have been a member of this gym now for 3 months. In those three months I have gained self confidence, basic boxing knowledge and a mood boost. I woke up one day and was depressed and saddened by what my body has become. I was 551 pounds with a little girl and it hit me like a ton of bricks I’m going to die before she graduates high school. I’m going to miss a lot of first and she’s going to miss her father. Now I have exercised in the past as a young man and it was never fun for me. Running sucks,Just weight lifting sucks even walking into a gym gave me more anxiety than I can express. So I decided maybe learning something while I exercise would work. I looked at BJJ , karate, and number of other things but I’m not big on sweating all over other people. Boxing stood out to me for a number of reasons, full body work out, hard cardio workout and in a pinch maybe I could fight off multiple attackers if need be. That’s when I found this gym empire! Good reviews close to my house and the classes fit with my schedule. It went very fast and efficient to sign up and pay. Sign a weaver and boom! I was in class. Adam and Ryan are my coaches and they know why I was there on the first day. It’s either this or die for me. I don’t want to sound hyperbolic but In all understanding that what it was for me. Adam and Ryan are both understanding of my situation but also push me to do more then I think I can. If I’m slipping or dropping my hands to breathe I can hear a “ hands up” and that’s my hint to bring them up. It’s ok to breathe but never drop your guard I’m told. They don’t over look anything I do if I miss a beat or “paw” at a bag because “I’m just there to exercise”. I’m expected to do my best and no one is ever left behind. If you need a quick refresher they are there to help in the most productive way possible. it seems to me everyone is in different fitness levels and they cater to that. It doesn’t matter what your fitness level is. This gym is here to help. Adam and Ryan seem to genuinely care about the health and progress you make in this class. They are up lifting and ready to help. I can’t say enough good things about empire boxing and fitness. The only thing I have lost joining this gym so far has been 29 pounds and a little anxiety.

My daughter is super shy and coach Adam and coach Enrique got her out of her shell and she has more confidence in herself than I have ever seen. The coaches are absolutely amazing they don’t push them into things they aren’t ready for. I would highly recommend them. I’m thinking about joining myself in the women’s group.
Thank you coaches for all you do

My son has started training with Coach Enrique and wow what an impact it has made on him. He is focused, disciplined and picking up agility and power skills. He was learning so quickly, gaining muscle, and confidence that I had to try it myself. I joined private sessions with Coach Adam and you would not belief the coordination skills, strength, and confidence I am gaining. I haven't worked out in over 6 years and Adam motivates and builds plans to keep me in the game. Empire boxing is a game changer. Get started today!

I absolutely love the atmosphere of this gym and the coaches are more than welcoming, kind, and motivating. Especially Coach Akayla who quickly rekindled a passion in me to take boxing more seriously. There are many women that I personally know who are looking for a way to begin their boxing journey and I 1000% recommend Coach Akayla's women classes! It is a great introduction to the world of boxing and all levels are welcomed. If you're nervous or scared, she will reassure you, empower you and make you feel like your innermost bada**. I promise you will have a great time :)

I consider myself an extremely introverted person. Social settings make me cringe and the thought of joining a gym fuels my nightmares. But I’ve been in need of something to help break all of that. After talking to coach Adam over the phone, I had a good feeling going into this experience. From day one Adam and coach Enrique have made me feel comfortable and welcomed. I had zero boxing experience before coming to Empire and honestly didn’t know if this would be something I’d be into long term, but Adam and Enrique have me excited about boxing and I am looking forward to continuing my lessons at Empire. Can’t recommend this enough!

This gym is amazing!! I signed up for the women's boxing class and had an absolute blast. Within one month I felt a change in my confidence, strength, and endurance. The coaches are all super helpful and fun to work with. I highly recommend if you want to feel empowered and fit. The class is inclusive to all levels of experience and is tailored based on the size and needs of each group that show up.

My son is 13 , started one on one lessons with Adam 9 months ago. Unlike soccer he can’t wait to get to training every week. His 8th grade year at school is also going so much better than years past . The boxing, and relationship with Adam has enabled him to have a lot more self respect as welll as confidence. I couldn’t be happier !

Coach Adam and the rest of the crew at Empire have been nothing but welcoming every time I walk through the door. At 48 I'm the definition of teaching an old dog new tricks. Yet Adam has not only been patient but has also continued to push and inspire me to do my best.-Iggy

I started boxing here with coach Adam about three months ago and had mentioned my goals about wanting to compete. He has been working with me closely and I've learned alot of new skills in my short time being there. He's good at explaining things and at pushing you to take steps towards your goals in and out of the gym. This gym has become a home away from home to me. I recommend this place for anyone looking to improve their health through boxing and have fun with great knowledgeable people. I look forward to seeing Empire Boxing Gym grow and am excited to be a part of it.

I've always been a little lost in my fitness journey in the sense that I had nothing to work for or towards. Boxing has provided a reason to be active, work on my diet, stay busy, and provided progression. I knew nothing about the sport going in but after conversations with Coach Adam I jumped into a class. I won't lie it isn't going to be a nice relaxing time. You will work (It's still fun). That's the best part though. The whole coaching staff is great. I can always ask any of them for help. If you've read this far into the review then it's time to give Adam a call and get the ball rolling.

This was my first time ever boxing (or doing any martial arts/sport) and I’m so glad I jumped in! I took Coach Adam’s beginning class from February to August, and had to leave for my school program, but I hope to be back! All of my future gym experiences will now have a high bar to cross, thanks to this gym!
Adam, the main coach, is one of the coolest people I’ve met, and was really easy to learn from. As a teacher, I admired his routines and clear instructions. He knows when to break a move down into simpler steps and answered every question I had with perceptive expertise (and I had a lot of questions, haha). He was extremely patient and encouraging, very knowledgeable of boxing, and happily accommodated when I had a wrist injury and needed modified exercises. He took the time to know each of his students and understand their learning style (for example, I felt a lot more comfortable trying a new skill when he gave me some space to practice by myself first before he came over to observe. That was so appreciated!!!).
The other coaches are super friendly, too, and the rest of the students I’ve met were very agreeable and happy to support each other. They’ve built a welcoming community for everyone, including women. Definitely give this place a try!!!

I've experimented/checked out many different gyms in the area from bjj, to standard weight gyms, to crossfit, and finally settled on boxing. After also checking out other boxing gyms in the area, this was the best fit. The instructor is very observant, and constantly is challenging you to be better than the day before by giving you MEASURABLE tools to do so. Highly recommend! Come down and train with us!
