Victory Boxing Club — Local services in New York

I came to a beginner class here and I have lots to say. I went to a Thursday evening, it was my first time ever coming to this gym. I have tried several other gyms in the area, some offering boxing workouts or similar things but none of them were anything like this. This was the most fantastic class I’ve been to. Period. Do you want to know if it’s really worth the time and money? Easily. You go in and you really feel like you’re boxing, you’re learning techniques, footwork, your training your punches and your body’s ability to dodge. None of that cardio, first-day swing your arms in the air. But the thing that was really fantastic was my instructor.

The team here has had an immensely positive impact on my life and I highly recommend you give them a try - you...

I was travelling to New York for business and because I was going to be away from home for two weeks didn't want to miss my regular boxing workouts. The concierge at the hotel I was staying at very helpfully connected me with Victory Boxing and I had a great initial conversation with Marc who kindly made arrangements for me to have a one hour session with Kristian Hernandez. Kristian was a great instructor and was able to identify exactly what my skillset was and how in a single session he could help me improve. The facility is amazing and I observed a range of activities taking place while I was there. I will be making this a must-do when I...
