Central Park Boxing | Upper West Side Personal Trainer — Local services in New York

Middle-age man just had a kid, looking to shed some new dad weight. On my own, I had been struggling for a while and I decided to give this gym a try.

I am so thankful I found this gym/team. With limited time and a busy work/home life, it’s been hard to get back into a regular routine, but Leslie helped work with my schedule to find a sustainable plan.

I played a lot of sports growing up, but never any combat sports. I tried boxing briefly a few years ago, but I wasn't too serious and I thought it wasn’t for me. But this time around, working with this team, has made a world of difference. I’m already down 15 pounds in just 2 months, and I’ve had so much fun along the way. I’m not just getting in better shape, but I’m able to better focus more when I’m working out and I’ve started to plan my exercise routines/week around Boxing and keeping on schedule.

I couldn’t recommend this team more highly. My wife, who never lifted weights is now joining and has loved it so far as well. It’s a great atmosphere, very motivating,...

The best place I’ve found for boxing and getting in shape!

Leslie is the real deal. Six months ago I was overweight, out of shape, and had no boxing experience. This is the only fitness program I tried that kept me coming back to the gym. The workouts Leslie designs are personalized to meet your fitness goals and they are the perfect balance of intensity and fun. I have gotten amazing results but never dread going to the gym the next day. Leslie is attentive, patient, and easy to work with while also knowing how to push you to get the best out of yourself.

I’ve seen everyone from kids to adults at every skill level in the gym. It’s a supportive environment with great gym culture. Also the scheduling is extremely flexible and Leslie is always able to work with my schedule.

I am so glad I happened to walk by this place back in August, because it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for in a boxing gym since I moved to NYC 6 years ago!

I’ve trained with gyms previously in the Albany area, and it’s been hard to find a boxing program that fits my wants and is affordable. Leslie and Ameer are very knowledgeable and have a great approach to how they run their sessions. They both give great feedback and will tailor workouts to meet the wants and needs of their varied clientele. It’s clear some folks have been boxing for years, while others are newer to the sport, but everyone there is getting a great workout. The gym is always clean, friendly, and welcoming.

If you’re thinking about tying boxing as a way to work out, I highly recommend popping in to see their...
