Eppolito Boxing Gym

K Z Local Guide Edited 11 months ago

I began here in 2021 at 43 years old. I've always struggled to make it to gyms to work out because of laziness, but I have stuck with this for 4 years and I have never been fitter. I was too fat to wear some of my gear when I started, a couple months later the fat melted away. To be perfectly clear, these classes are 1.5 hours of intense cardio, for anyone interested. 30 minutes of warmup, then the class Coach Eppolito keeps us motivated not only in fitness, but teaches us valuable life lessons. I have added extra steps like pushups between rounds to increase my fitness, and make extra effort to eat healthy. I wish I had started years before I did

Great gym all around to say the least! Frank was very inspiring and the guy he had helping with training was amazing. Took the time to explain things and pushed us to our limit. Doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or advanced fighter they seem to know what they are doing. 10/10 recommend

The best boxing gym around!! Great for all experience levels. Coach Frank does an amazing job. I enjoyed the 5:30am classes for a more private session and also the evening class for a good night workout and a few more people to spar with. After moving out of Knoxville, I've been unsuccessful in finding a gym anywhere near the same caliber or vibe as Eppolito's. Highly recommend for anyone looking to train and get a good workout in. You may even see a few UT players or professionals while you're there ;)

If you are looking for a fun way to get fit, this is the place, in the past two months working with this boxing gym, my stamina and endurance has increased, I've lost weight and increased definition in certain areas all while learning a great sport. This is not like the other boxing gym's in Knoxville, you learn everything from proper form, footwork, defense and offense. This is not a "just hitting a bag only". His training is a HIIT level, and everyone does it. The people have all been friendly and courteous, from all walks of life and age. HIGHLY recommend

Highly recommend. Coach Eppolito has had over 100 sanctioned fights and 50 years of experience. The clientele is a mix of competitors and business professionals that want to be fit (light or no contact). Very glad I decided to give this gym a shot!
