Great environment, helpful coaches, and a hard workout. They give you feedback throughout the class which is nice and push you hard without going too far. The environment is comfortable and inclusive which you feel the moment you step through the door. Everyone in the gym seems to really love it there. I’m excited to go back, get into shape, and learn more about boxing.

Went to this gym for their free cardio boxing class. I’m looking to start fighting and brought a friend who’s a certified amateur boxer. This place was like the planet fitness of boxing gyms. It’s pretty easy to tell the vibe of a gym just by being in there and seeing the coaches. We went to another gym in the same day to drop in and get work in, and immediately it was more focused and serious. They don’t have a real ring either. We called in advance to let them know we’d be about 4 minutes late to the 10:30 class due to a flat tire, and they never responded.

McConnell’s is best-in-class for amateur boxing, technical development, and/or just getting a fun workout. The community at the gym is real and inclusive and has become a second home for the last 2 years. Coach Josh, Jenomi, and Denise are incredible. Molly is as successful as a gym owner as a boxer. Her taste in music could improve ;) but this gym is special.

McConnell's Boxing Academy is hand down the cleanest (practicing strict social distancing and health guidelines) and most community-driven gym I have been to. Working out with a world champion as your trainer as well as taking boxing instruction from Molly McConnell is life-changing. You learn discipline and technique from a master and most importantly, she and her staff are supportive of your health endeavors. They are your cheerleaders! Check them out!
