Not the kind of gym that teaches you how to fight in the ring as a true boxer. I looked at this gym because I wanted to put my kids into gym this summer. I'm looking for a boxing gym that will be able to train my kids properly. I would like them to fight in the ring. I couldn't find any history of this gym in any amateur events. I went by the gym and no one helped me. I don't know who is running the gym. The people in the gym didn't seem like they even knew what they were supposed to be doing. This gym isn't the normal kind of boxing gym. I'm not sure what kind of boxing gym this is if they aren't fighting. 🤔

This gym is incredible. It offers a safe space free of judgement and over-competition, with coaches that nurture your growth like a seedling in ripe soil. The coaches are experienced and give good drills and good advice. I love this gym, the community it brings together, and the feeling you get from only boxing. Every class I have taken here makes me feel empowered as a young woman navigating this world. Additionally, the dance class Margot offers is wonderful. I highly recommend taking classes here to feel stronger, mentally and physically.

I highly recommend St Johns boxing whether you are looking for beginner instruction or a competitive boxing training space. I work with p:ear, and organization that is creatively mentoring homeless youth in Portland. The owner of St Johns Boxing, Lisa, has been a consistent supporter of our youth. Going to classes at St Johns boxing is one of the most popular recreation outings that we offer, as an experienced educator but beginner to boxing, I have appreciated the attention to skill building and progression that Lisa has shown and the flexibility in working with youth with varied needs and abilities. Thank you for your support!
