Ricky
Trainer/Staff Bio
In my teenage years, I immersed myself in boxing under Melvin Wesley. The friendships made through combat sports became a cherished part of my life, whether competing in local Golden Gloves tournaments or on the national stage. I later obtained a degree in engineering from KU and now have a career in software engineering. Currently, my wife and I are training and competing in the sport of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as we continue our paths of personal growth and improvement. My love for boxing, however, will always remain strong. With every punch thrown and technique learned by those in my classes, I eagerly anticipate the adventures ahead, driven by the comradery and passion we all share for the sport of boxing.

FAQ’s
Our workouts are for all ages, all abilities and all fitness levels. Every participant in class is encouraged to go at their own pace. If you need to stop, catch your breath, stretch or get a drink of water, it’s no big deal – everyone does it! Hop back in when you’re ready and we’ll be there right next to you cheering you on!
With all physical activity, there are risks. We encourage you to speak with a doctor before performing physical activity. As it pertains to our classes, we wrap your hands to prevent injury and show you the basic punches and exercises throughout class. If at any time you need assistance or more direction all you have to do is ask! The trainers interact with every person in class, not just stand up front like other gyms and studios, so it’s easy to ask question as you go. We can offer modifications as well. To put your mind at ease: you will never get hit in one of our classes. We are a no-contact workout.
We recommend wearing anything that makes you feel confident, especially workout apparel and shoes that you’re comfortable sweating in. We have gloves to borrow for your first time and you can purchase hand wraps here or bring your own.
Of course! We know the best things in life are best shared—including being nervous to try something new! Convince your friend, colleague, partner or family member to sweat it out with you and you will have an accountability partner for life. When reserving your class simply tell us who you’d like to bring, and we’ll make sure we reserve two bags.
We ask that you show up at least 30 minutes before your first class. We will give you a quick tour, so you know where everything is, show you to your locker and help you pick out your bag and first-time loaner gloves. You’ll select a pair of hand wraps (you can bring your own or purchase them here) and we’ll walk you through the basics of class as we wrap your hands. We don’t expect you to know how to wrap your hands for both comfort and safety, so we can help you on your first time or every time. Finally, before class starts, we’ll set you up with our trainer to show you how to throw the four basic punches that will be used throughout class. Best of all, if you ever get lost just go back to the basic jab, cross combination and a trainer will come by to show you any other technique.
Staying true to how boxers train, our workout starts with a warm-up, then moves into boxing or kickboxing rounds, and finishes strong building your foundational strength in your core. Boxing is a full-body workout and you can expect it to incorporate your arms, back, chest, core, legs and glutes in the various movements and combinations.
