Joined the club having never laced up gloves in my life, in spite of being a life long boxing fan. I'm 6 weeks into my journey and can't wait to get to the gym each day. Coach Bob not only teaches the science of each punch, but teaches the overall strategy of certain maneuvers and what they try to achieve. The strategic elements of the sport are fascinating and bobs deep knowledge of it are a pleasure to learn. My fellow students are friendly and welcoming whilst being serious and committed. this makes for a great learning environment. Every journey starts with a single step, so if your like me and always dreamed about it, now is the day to join the club and begin your journey. Do it now.
Bob’s gym is old-school, in the best of ways! Bob will teach you professional, competitive boxing and kickboxing techniques, not like the gyms that merely use heavy bags and gloves as props for a workout. The gym is not fancy, and that’s why most of us who come here love it. It’s authentic, well-equipped with the real stuff, and most importantly a coach who knows what he’s doing! You will feel welcome here if you want to work hard, whether to learn the basics for fitness or actually train to fight. The members form an incredibly diverse and friendly community, from every part of the city, profession, race, and age (above 13). Don’t just think about it, join! During COVID-19, Bob put together a rigorous 28-day at-home challenge for members, and made it available to non-members too at a super reasonable rate. The routines sent to us each day were an incredible workout, with some healthy points-based competition thrown in for added motivation. Bob inspired us and coached us through the challenge remotely, just like he does at the gym. Thank you, Bob!!
Thanks to Coach Bob for doing the 28 Day #pghboxingathome challenge. Each day you provided us with a great working to stay fit and sharpen our skills drills with drills. I really enjoyed it but can't wait to get back in the gym. I have been attending Coach Bob's gym for a little over a year now. I have had the desire to find a boxing gym for several years in the Norwin area that could accommodate my work schedule and I have been extremely happy with the gym. Bob has taught me everything since I went in with little actual knowledge of boxing. He teaches everyone starting at the basics to build a solid foundation for all their boxing skills. The classes are great for getting in shape and learning true boxing skills each week. The skills and drills Bob teaches has prepared me to spare and get in the best shape of my life since being a college student-athlete. My favorite part about the gym is the people. Everyone I have met has been extremely nice and welcoming. I am so happy I found this gym and know I have also found some great friends.
I love this gym. I started here after trying “another place”. Coach Bob was welcoming and extremely patient with his teaching. He is encouraging and made me feel welcome and confident. All the members are great. Coach Bob is always trying to make sure we all have everything we need for classes, class times and promotes all the members to do their best. 🥊
Learning how to box at Coach Bob's gym has been a great experience. The atmosphere is professional and relaxed. Members are focused, friendly, and helpful. Bob is very knowledgeable and knows how to coach people at all experience levels. There are no gimmicks, just a dedication to learning the art of boxing. If you are looking for a way to get into excellent shape and learn a useful skill, then I highly recommend training with Coach Bob.
