Donis Boxing Academy has been a transformative experience for our fmaily. I discovered at Donis Boxing Academy went beyond just a workout; it was an immersion into the true art of boxing.

Coach Donis brings an authentic, hands-on approach that is rare to find these days. His dedication isn’t just about running a business; it’s about nurturing each student’s growth. The personalized attention he offers ensures that every athlete is developing in a meaningful way. Unlike the cookie-cutter programs you find elsewhere, where the focus is on maximizing membership numbers, Coach Donis chooses to keep his academy focused and effective. This allows him to be deeply involved with every student, refining techniques and fostering real improvement.

The gym isn’t about flashy equipment or aesthetics; it’s about substance. Here, you get the kind of training that builds not just physical skills, but also mental resilience. The parking might not be perfect, but that’s a small trade-off for the level of instruction you receive. If you’re truly interested in mastering the fundamentals of boxing in an environment that values quality over quantity, Donis Boxing Academy is where you need to be.

I've been training at Donis boxing academy and I can't say enough good things about this place. Coach Donis is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and motivating. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced boxer, he tailors the workouts to your skill level and helps you push your limits. The gym is well-equipped, and has a great atmosphere. The community here is supportive and friendly, which makes training even more enjoyable. I've noticed significant improvements in my technique, strength, and overall fitness since I started.
If you're looking for a top-notch boxing gym where you can really see results, I highly recommend Donis boxing academy.

Joining Donis Boxing Academy has been the best decision I made for both my son and myself. As a professional martial artist, I initially started boxing just to train alongside my son. However, my background in training elite athletes for AAU and USAT competitions gave me a deep understanding of what quality instruction looks like. Coach Donis stands out because he genuinely cares for each student, and his passion for boxing is undeniable.

This isn’t a watered-down program with inexperienced instructors. Coach Donis personally supervises every single athlete. He even admits that he could expand his business if he wanted to, but he refuses to run his gym like a franchise. He insists on being there to fine-tune techniques and monitor each student's progress. The academy may not be flashy, but it’s where you can learn classic boxing the right way.

For a fair review, I’ll note that parking is limited, but I’m far more concerned with the quality of instruction than with fancy amenities. If you're serious about learning real boxing, I highly recommend Donis Boxing Academy.

Coach Donis introduced my teenager to boxing. My son loves it especially for cardio. I am particularly impressed by how much his students adore him and the confidence he gives them. Great place to keep your teenager in the summer and great for discipline. But amazing place too for adults who are tired of the gym.

The guys are excellent, and the coach is friendly and down-to-earth. The training lasts for around two hours, which is a big plus, most gyms have classes for only one hour. I’ve been to 3 training seasons, and what I saw in this short time training here is that there is not much of a structure going on, everybody does whatever. We didn’t train any combos, not much footwork, nothing too advanced, just basic stuff, hitting the bag and some conditioning. Again, I’ve been here only three times, so maybe they do other stuff as well. The gym equipment is old and cheap, but good enough to train. The biggest downside for me is how hot it gets, there is no ac just a lot of fans. That’s the only reason I stopped going there, it gets way too hot, very uncomfortable (for me). If you’re a beginner I recommend it, if you’re looking for something more professional maybe go somewhere else.

Coach Donis knows what he’s doing. He has a lot of experience and you can see it when he trains you. I would recommend anyone at any level to give Coach Donis a chance to perfect your craft. There’s really no coach doing it like him.

My son was initially uncertain about starting here, but he quickly grew to love it. The positive environment and excellent coaching have boosted his enthusiasm and confidence. He enjoys working out, getting stronger, and learning boxing techniques.
