Just went to the Monday evening class for the first time. Eric was a great instructor and showed us a few starter boxing moves beforehand. The conditioning class was a great workout and was my first time boxing! I will definitely come back for more!
I recently took the Intro to Fighter Conditioning class, and as a complete beginner to boxing, it was the perfect introduction. Alana kicked off the session by teaching us the fundamental boxing stances, punches, and simple combinations. Her clear instructions made it easy to understand the basics and ease into the rhythm of the workout. The second part of the class combined high-energy cardio with boxing drills using gloves and bags. It was definitely intense, but also incredibly fun and motivating. One of the things I appreciated most was that you could go at your own pace—there was no pressure to keep up with others, and taking breaks when needed was totally fine. If you’re new to boxing and curious about trying it out, I’d highly recommend this class. It’s a great way to learn the basics in a supportive environment while getting a solid workout.
Have been boxing for a few years now and recently moved to Boston. Very happy to have found this gym. Loved the experience; the coaches are attentive and knowledgeable and the environment is great. Perfect for all levels, whether you’re just starting or want to stay sharp on your skills.
I did a fighter technique class for $17 because it was my first class and it was so much fun! I got a great workout, the coach was phenomenal with tips and tricks, and felt damn sore the next day!! Would recommend for beginners but honestly depends how you treat the class and could be good for anyone. Very friendly and welcoming staff, 100% coming back!
This gym was super supportive of newcomers and I felt like I fit in immediately. My trainer was super supportive and helpful, and the environment of the gym itself just makes you want to come back. After my class, the trainer walked up to me and made sure I was comfortable with the workout and asked if I was considering coming back. He showed genuine interest. This is a great environment for beginners!
Great gym for beginners looking to start boxing! The trainer leading our class was incredibly friendly and supportive, making sure everyone felt comfortable while learning the basics. Highly recommend for anyone new or pro in the sport
Had a great experience at Peter Welch Gym! I started with an intro session with Alana, and she was awesome—super friendly and made everything easy to understand. If it’s your first time, the intro is definitely worth it. I took a class with Sean afterward, and wow, it was intense but so good. He kept the energy high and really pushed us, but it never felt overwhelming. The whole vibe of the gym is super positive and motivating. I’m definitely coming back!
Educational, challenging, and enjoyable. Went to my first fighter conditioning class last Saturday and didn't know what to expect. Walked into a fresh mix of cardio, shadow boxing, weights, and high-intensity circuits. Have not enjoyed exercise this much in a long time, highly recommend, will be back for more classes.
