about the gym and the program

As a community of Boxers, we want you to feel comfortable as a first time boxer - everyone has to start somewhere. We take pride in teaching real boxing techniques to all levels with a focus on fitness. Learn a new skill and have Fun!

Be smart about the location of the gym relative to your home/work in relation to your fitness needs - If you live in deep SE, deep NE or SW, or outlying areas, our gym is a long commute and you won't realistically attend regularly. Consistent training of at least 2 days per week leads to improvement in this sport
Boxing is a very specific skill set, so Boxing Basics is required for all first-time boxers - visit classes&calendar page for description and calendar; some classes fill fast and advance registration is required
Boxing takes a bit of commitment to see results....be ready and willing to spend time learning the skill
Experienced Boxers can skip Boxing Basics; but please follow our easy registration process and pick your first class from the Boxing Skills or Workout schedule. No walk-ins. Everyone must register in advance.

Boxing Basics and Boxing Skills require advance registration - Boxing Workout is drop in with paid dues for current members
Boxing Workout: Class capacity is 25 students / Conditioning, Strength & Stretch: Limited to 10 / Go to Classes&Calendar for more info
Instructors subject to change without notice - Calendar updated in real time
All classes start on time! Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to secure a spot in class and be ready to participate; late arrivals discouraged and may not be admitted if class is full; late arrivals make us sad.....
We have Gloves and Mitts for use during class. Hand Wraps (essential gear) and a small selection of Gloves are available for purchase in the pro-shop. If you already have boxing gear, bring it along
Classes are for Adults (18+). We do not offer a youth boxing program. There are several gyms in the greater Portland vicinity with kid's programs (email for suggestions if you have a youth or teen interested in the sport)
We have membership options to suit many levels of participation. See the prices page for details and online payments
Wear appropriate workout clothes and sneakers, bring a water bottle, towel, etc.
The facility has separate guys and girls locker rooms and one shower
Optional sparring program available (just ask). We host semi-annual exhibition matches for our internal team, with spectators welcome
We DO NOT coach for amateur competition and are not affiliated with any sanctioned boxing organizations. No MMA, Kickboxing or other martial arts are practiced here
Private Lessons (one/one or groups) and Workshops for any level of training. Limited availability by appointment - send email for more info

Still have questions? Send an email or text 503.380.2192 and I'll get back to you soonest. See you at the gym. Love, LG
