I trained with Kris when I was 8 years old. Lightnings Boxing Club is very welcoming and helped me get out of my comfort zone and become more social. Kris is a great teacher who not only taught me boxing fundamentals but also taught me life lessons on working hard and staying disciplined.

I’ve been around since the day Kris opened Lightning Boxing Club, and it’s been incredible to see how far it’s come. Kris has built more than just a boxing gym — he’s created a community. Both my sons trained with him, and I’ve seen firsthand how much time, effort, and passion he puts into every athlete who walks through those doors. He pushes his students to be their best, not just in boxing but in discipline, confidence, and mindset. The atmosphere at Lightning Boxing Club is motivating, welcoming, and built on real hard work. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to compete, this is the place to be. Kris truly cares about his fighters and it shows in everything he does. Couldn’t recommend this gym more. Oakland’s lucky to have a place like this.

My kid’s the one in the gloves, not me. But I’ll say this if every coach taught like Kris, we’d all be better people. He’s patient but firm, teaches respect right alongside footwork. You can see the discipline seeping into how my son handles everything school, chores, even attitude. I used to sit in the car scrolling while he trained, but now I stay and watch. The pros sparring? That’s something else. Inspiring without being flashy. Parking’s not perfect, but you’ll find a spot if you’re patient. Oakland’s lucky to have a place like this keeps kids focused and families proud. I'll definitely be coming back

This boxing gym is legit. From the fighters to the trainers. Kris Lopez is very knowledgeable and has years of expertise in the boxing game. Whether you're looking to get a boxing workout or get in fight shape, this is the place. Personally, i was impressed @ how fast I was losing weight on the scale from Kris's training routine he had in place for me. Awesome gym. -Zeus
