The Boxing Yard

This place is closed and no longer working!!I'm sure it was an amazing place to workout but it's no longer functioning

Still in business after the covid shutdown. Great atmosphere, great session. Oh, you will work.. sweat and need water. You will also feel more able when you leave. I've never boxed before, they take it slow and work with you. The trainer is great; he has loads of energy and keeps you moving. Definitely headed back.Driving directions will lead you to the back of the building. The boxing yard entrance is on the corner.

Want to try one of the toughest workouts in Jacksonville? This is your place. I workout 2-3 times a week in a regular gym and I thought I was in decent shape. Completely humbled by the hour long session here. Made me realize I'm not in as good as shape as I thought I was. The yard is completely unassuming, grungy, hot and humid, beat up, ghetto, old school, and hidden off the side of the road in an old warehouse in springfield. Perfect.Monday through Thursday from 6pm - 7pm and Saturday from 9am - 10am you get an hour long intense cardio workout with a mixture of different exercises that Hector will break you down with. Want to take a break or rest a little without being told to? Be ready because Hector will get on your ass immediately and get you going again! These hour long sessions are a group fitness class that combines fundamental boxing techniques with calisthenic (bodyweight resistance) exercises to improve stamina, power, and tone. Expect a full-body workout through various boot-camp-style drills, shadowboxing, jumping rope, footwork, punching heavy bags, and abdominal exercises. Memberships consists of $10 drop-in, $99 monthly, or $299 for personal training.It's a blast and I can't wait to train here more often. Lots of good people here in a friendly competitive environment where everyone wants to push themselves to the max. Don't worry if you've never boxed before.Things to know and bring: Get a set of decent boxing gloves (I paid 40 bucks for mine and they work just fine - 16oz Title Classic gloves - I'm 5'10" 180lbs), hand wraps (not required but can help with the bags after repeated hitting), bring lots of water, bring a towel, yoga matt if you have one for the ab session at the end, good workout shoes, light workout clothes, come motivated, geared up to sweat, and ready to work your ass off.

Absolutely the best gym in Jacksonville! The instructor, a former boxing Olympian, really knows what he's doing and will push you to be your absolute best. I've been coming here for 2 years and the classes never get boring. If you want to lose weight, get in shape, or just take a really fun class, you have to come to the Boxing Yard!
