Arcaro Boxing

The best gym I've ever been to. As a beginner, I was made to feel welcome and the classes are suitable for all levels. Yet, the coaches take training seriously (in a good way!) and it shows through their passion for health, fitness and boxing. Through Arcaro, I've been developing boxing fundamentals, fitness, but also mental strength and clarity. Shout out to coach Tricia, Cisco, and Cassidy for all that you do - Seattle, keep this gem thriving!!!

I was looking for a challenge to improve my fitness level, discipline, and confidence while going way out of my comfort zone. Late October of 2024, I first stepped into the Arcaro Boxing gym around noon on a Saturday. Pricing is cheaper than the other gyms in the area with reasonable options from drop in, punch cards, to monthly memberships. I bought gloves and hand wraps which they provided. Nerves began to dissipate thanks to the friendly and welcoming demeanor of Coach Cassidy. Coach Tricia introduced herself, and it's evident that she and the gym attracts other coaches and people that exudes a vibe centered strongly around supporting an inclusive community. With no experience, they start you off with core fundamentals in foot work, stance, and basic punches. The next class you start doing drills in pairs taking turns using gloves or mitts. Cardio exercises are mixed in with various gym equipment. The core tensions class helped me understand how my body moves at a deeper level. The 1 on 1 functional pattern sessions helps evaluate your current overall body condition and as you progress doing various movement exercises helps many aspects in boxing and general movement. I'm surprised how it has helped my overall posture and the hip pain I've been getting. They recently started offering Muay Thai classes taught by Coach Kim, I tried it for the first time recently and it was a great change of pace and a lot of fun. Progress has been very evident thanks to Coach Tricia, Cassidy, Cisco, and everyone. The staff is great, and I love that they all bring a unique personality and style to how they teach. Big Thank you to all, with a special thanks to Coach Cass. From day one of helping me figure out how to wrap my hands, to getting better at sparring, and achieving growth in overall physique/mentality. I'm getting what I was looking for and more. To the reader, I hope to see you in the gym sometime!

I’ve been going to Arcaro Boxing for 3 weeks now, and I just want to say—this place is amazing. I came in with zero boxing experience and was honestly really intimidated on my first day. But the moment I walked in, everyone was so kind and welcoming. Big shoutout to Coach Tricia, Coach Kim, Coach Cass, and Coach Cisco—they’ve all been super supportive and patient as I learned the basics. I’ve taken the boxing fundamentals class, core tension class, and done some one-on-one sessions. Three weeks in, I already feel improvement—in my strength, confidence, and overall energy. And that feeling motivates me to keep coming back. What surprised me most is how fun it’s been—this has become something I actually look forward to, not something I have to drag myself to do. If you’re thinking about trying boxing but feel nervous or unsure—just go. You’ll be in good hands here.

This gym is life changing! When I came here for Functional Patterns training 4 years ago, I was in a back brace and unable to walk, sit, or even lay down without debilitating pain. Now, because of Tricia and FP, I have my life back! I train virtually now since I moved out of state, but I visit Arcaro boxing every chance I get because it’s one of my happy places :) All of the coaches here are incredibly knowledgeable and encouraging, and the atmosphere in the group classes is friendly and supportive. If you come here you’ll work hard, but you’ll also get amazing results and have a really good time!

Arcaro Boxing has completely changed my perspective on fitness! As someone who finds traditional gyms uninspiring, I was thrilled to discover the excitement and energy of boxing. The coaches are incredibly passionate and dedicated, ensuring each class is engaging. Their attention to detail is remarkable, and the positive atmosphere is contagious. Within just a month of attending group classes, I've experienced significant improvements in my energy levels, mental clarity, and overall strength. I can't recommend Arcaro Boxing enough, I can't wait to get back from my travels and jump right back into training
