Affordable. Customizable. Effective.
I've been attending Chavez Boxing Gym for 8 months, training 3x a week in 1-on-1 sessions. I work with two coaches, Pete the owner and Adam aka Coach Kelly, a long-time client turned trainer/coach. I knew nothing of boxing when I began, having never even seen a fight on TV. I was nervous, intimidated, and certain I'd try it once and be too chicken to return. However, after my first session, despite feeling entirely uncoordinated and totally exhausted, I knew I had landed in the right place. Sure, the workout was hard (possibly the hardest I've ever endured) and the mental challenge even greater (the "chess of athletics"), BUT what hooked me was the warmth of the community inside. The coaches are patient and skilled. The fighters, friendly and welcoming. And the other more casual clients, genuinely supportive of your journey. Coach Pete has dedicated his life to the sport and his community and this gym is a direct reflection of all he embodies.
Bonus: by coming here, you get to support a local business with a mission!
