An Amazing Gym!! About two month's ago my 10-year old daughter tells me she wants to take up boxing. I didn't think much about it at the time but a week later she mentions it again, this time in the car. Moments after I see Phil's Boxing Gym (with a statue of Mike Tyson in the front). Calling her bluff, I walk her in to the Gym and met Phil, who was extremely welcoming. He took the time explaining, to her, what she would learn and how it will help her to grow as a person in life. He let us explore the gym and hang out to watch others train. Two weeks in, and seeing the results with my daughter (mean overhand right, working the speed bag, and light sparring), I started training.
The bottom line is this: Phil is an excellent trainer! He will take the time to get to know you, then incorporate things you're familiar with into your training. I'm an avid basketball player...ever dribble a ball while throwing a jab? A tactic he used to infuse a new skill while being relaxed enough to continue a skill I'm familiar with (dribbling). The workouts are tough and Phil will not sugar coat your progress, or lack thereof. He will explain all subtleties in movement and their importance in your development. If you're wanting to learn the true art of boxing Phil will have you in the Ring in only a few weeks. If you're looking to get in shape Phil will have you sweating 2-minutes into your workout. Whatever your fitness goals are you will achieve them much quicker than you think if Phil is in your corner! Phil...
Read moreI don’t even know where to begin. I am one of the few who have been fortunate enough to step foot in this boxing gym. Phil Paolina is very unique guy. It’s rare to find people like this these days. Phil is straight forward, extremely knowledgeable about what he’s training, and most importantly, he’s truly dedicated to every person who walks in to his gym seeking to better themselves. His workouts aren’t as friendly as he is, but we all know nothing good comes easy. I also love his gym cause it’s the real deal. None of that pretentious stuff you see These days. I am Extremely honored to be part of Phil Paolina’s boxing club. I recommend everyone, especially those who want be apart of something special to come and check this place out. OH - also want to give a shout out to Devin. He’s one of the instructors there. He’s a great example of what makes this...
Read moreSo before going to Phil Paolina Boxing I did a lot of research trying to find the best fit for my 16 yr old son and Paolina Boxing had really great reviews so we decided to go and see for ourselves. When we arrived we were greeted by Phil himself and immediately felt good about our decision to check it out. After talking to us and introducing my son to a couple of members, including one legend in the sport, I could see in my son's eyes this was going to be a great place for him to train and learn boxing. After picking him up from his first class I immediately sensed a change in character and he began to tell me about the amazing experience he had with the others in his class. I'm really happy for my son and can't tell you enough how great this boxing gym is!!! Thanks...
