Great community, classes, and staff. I dropped in while visiting from Los Angeles - the staff and owner (Paul) were welcoming, warm, friendly, and supportive. The class I took - boxing conditioning with Ezekiel - was fun, conditioning (HIIT), and blended in technique on heavy bags and mitts. This will definitely be a space I return to often while visiting. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend this gym! I joined about four weeks ago and from the moment I first walked into the gym I was welcomed by friendly staff. I had never trained a day in my life before joining and I have learned so much in such a short period of time. The trainers/coaches leading the classes really know their stuff.

Friendly place with some humble talent. I will definitely be coming back whenever I’m driving through Portland again. Special shout out to Zeke for professionalism and coaching

I’ve been training at Portland City Boxing for the past three years, and it’s been an incredible journey. This gym has it all—top-notch classes, a welcoming and inclusive environment, and amazing coaches. They also offer a wide variety of classes. Whether you're looking to get into boxing, improve your conditioning, or simply stay in shape, there's something for everyone. I personally train with Coach Paul once a week. I find his patience and encouragement incredibly motivating. Over the past three years, I’ve gotten into amazing shape and become more confident both inside and outside of the gym. The staff and coaches at Portland City Boxing are second to none. They’re not only knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in your success. Coach Phillip runs the strength and conditioning class on Fridays, and he always keeps it fresh and interesting, ensuring you’re constantly challenged while still having fun. The gym itself is clean, well-maintained, and truly inclusive. As someone who values an LGBTQ+ friendly atmosphere, I can’t recommend this place enough—it’s a space where everyone feels welcome and supported. If you're looking for a gym that offers great classes, amazing coaching, and a supportive community, Portland City Boxing is the place to be.

Portland City Boxing so far has been the best fitness experience I have had in my entire life, and I have attended many gyms and tried multiple sports in different cities and countries. I walked in there not knowing a single thing about boxing with just an idea that I should try it out. From coaches and fellow athletes alike, I experienced support, respect and willingness to help a beginner. Everyone was and remains very kind and supportive. I go there 3-5 times a week and always have a great time. Workouts are challenging, but my body feels amazing after. PCB is a great gym!
