Boxing Strong - Monterey (CA)

5 /5 Lexxy Sanchez: I can’t say enough good things about this gym! The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and patient, whether you’re brand new to boxing or already experienced. They push you to work hard but always make sure your technique is on point and that you’re training safely. The atmosphere is super welcoming, everyone here motivates each other, and it really feels like family. They have a variety on inclusive classes to take. The facilities are clean, well-equipped, and have everything you need for serious training. If you’re looking for a place to learn, get active and be part of a supportive community, this is the place!

5 /5 Manny Collazo: Hi Coach Masha & Coach Rios, I just wanted to say—wow. My first session with Coach Rios was amazing. For an old guy trying to get back in as much shape as possible for this tournament in 40 days, I couldn’t have asked for a better start. Coach Rios showed up on time, asked a lot of questions, really took the time to get to know me and my abilities. He pushed me the right amount so I felt it, but also gave me freedom to back down when I needed to. I loved the way he kept the movement and variety going so my brain didn’t check out, while still drilling the repetitions I know I’ll need. He wasn’t just letting me go through motions—he was picking apart my technique, which I really appreciate. It made the workout both tough and fun. Five stars all the way. I’m genuinely looking forward to this relationship growing with Boxing Strong.

5 /5 Hannah Castillon: I first joined as a volunteer, helping with youth classes, and it quickly became clear how much passion and care the coaches put into every session. The environment is welcoming, motivating, and supportive for people of all ages and skill levels. Being part of this gym not only gave me the chance to help others, but also to grow myself—physically and mentally. The workouts are always challenging in the best way, and I’ve seen how much of an impact Boxing Strong has on building confidence, strength, and discipline. Whether you’re looking to train, get in shape, or be part of a positive community, I can’t recommend Boxing Strong enough!

5 /5 Ashley Hancock: Masha and the rest of the team at Boxing Strong are the most supportive group of people I have met. Not only do they convey the message of physical fitness but they want it to be FUN! This is THE place to go to grow your existing boxing/sparring/fighting talent, or to start fresh and learn!

5 /5 Jonathan Balian: I had the experience of being able to work with Coach Masha, Coach Adam, and meet a couple of the other boxing coaches as well. All great people, guided me through some coaching myself and created a pretty good bond with others on the team. I learned a lot over my time with Coach Masha and the others and can confirm it has removed all doubts I’ve had about myself. The discipline and experience I’ve received will stick with me forever, and the whole team receives a huge thanks from me!
