Front Range Boxing Academy

Fantastic experience: Incredible place to start your boxing journey, whether you’re looking to compete or just learn the craft and get fit. The coaches here are the best I’ve ever been trained by, and I had been boxing for a few years overseas. All the coaches really make you feel welcome from the start. Dave greets me almost every time I come into the gym, and the atmosphere is so friendly and comfortable. Coach Cole’s MWF morning classes are a must if you’re looking to get into shape through boxing specific strength and conditioning workouts, it has made me mentally and physically stronger since I started attending those! Coach Johnny and Dave’s weekly classes really help me fine tune my boxing skills, and are ultimately making me a better boxer. Truly feels like one big boxing family. So glad I found this place.

Fantastic experience: Great boxing gym! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I just started a membership at Front Range Boxing Academy; people is friendly and the support is amazing, they really help you to get your moves right, and defenely make you sweat.

Fantastic experience: My girlfriend and I have been going to Cole’s morning cardio class pretty consistently since January. We began feeling stronger immediately and noticed significant results after just 3 months. I hadn’t worked out consistently since high school but Cole’s unique blend of boxing and cardio continue to keep us engaged and, most importantly, challenged. Can’t stress enough how effective these classes are !

Fantastic experience: Best gym I have ever been a member of

Fantastic experience: OG boxing gym

Fantastic experience: Front range boxing is a diamond in boulder! The best boxing gym in the world. Whether you are looking to just learn the craft, take classes, get fit or spar and learn to apply the technique for real, this place has it all. World class coaching⚡️

Fantastic experience: The real deal for that old school boxing experience. Everyone I've met was friendly and welcoming. Dave is the real deal and his love for helping people and the sport really shows. My only regret is that I didn't find this place sooner!

Fantastic experience: David and the other coaches offer great insight and truly care about teaching you the fundamental aspects of boxing in order to make you a better boxer!

Fantastic experience: So happy to be part of Front Range Boxing gym. Dave is master of his craft, very friendly and knowledgeable. All the people are very nice and that makes great atmosphere !!

Fantastic experience: The booking process was straightforward, and they didn't even charge me for glove rental Everyone was so welcoming and happy to teach, not just the coach. I've had bad experiences with coaches refusing to adjust the difficulty for students, and Dave wasn't like that at all. He was great at seeing when I was getting information overload and simplifying the routine, but pushing me farther when he thought I was getting the hang of things. I loved that everyone was so persistent about getting the technique right. I'm pretty bad at footwork and i think I got much less bad by the end of the hour. The gym is old but everything is clean with great ventilation. I'm so sad I was just visiting because I would have loved to join

Fantastic experience: My experience at Front Range Boxing has been fantastic. Excellent classes, great support from members, friendly open atmosphere. Both coaches (Dave and Johnny) are very knowledgeable and passionate about the sport and teaching. Whether you are new to boxing, or a seasoned vet looking for an old school, no nonsense, place to train, I highly recommend the Front Range Boxing in Boulder.

Fantastic experience: This place is so awesome!! Everyone is so nice and I haven’t gotten a bloody nose yet - 10/10 come here

Fantastic experience: I'm new to the gym, a real inviting atmosphere, resonates a sincerely good vibe! Coach Gaudette is super awesome!

Fantastic experience: Best boxing gym on the planet. This is what you dream of when you think of a place to train.

Fantastic experience: Dave is a wonderful human being with a contagious passion for boxing--he's a skilled trainer that insists on proper form and technique. The gym itself has an old-school and gritty feel that's powerful and unique. Dave and members of the gym are warm and welcoming to boxers of all skill levels. If you want to learn how to box, this is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: If you want to learn how to box the right way, this is the best place in Boulder to do it. The head coach Dave is incredibly knowledgeable, and has created a respectful and encouraging environment for all levels of boxers. Since starting to train here, I have felt massive growth, both in and out of the gym.

Positive experience: Old school love it

Fantastic experience: This Is one of the most hardworking communities I've had the pleasure to be apart of. Dave's love for the art of boxing is extremely contagious, and so is the work ethic of all of the members here. If you've been thinking of stopping by I highly recommend you do so as you'll quickly take great pride in working at this facility.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, a very safe environment with knowledgeable coaches.

Fantastic experience: My favorite place on earth.

Fantastic experience: Dave, the owner, is a great person, and this gym is exactly what I needed. If you're looking for a place to get active, I would highly recommend you give this place a try. You'll learn a new skill, get advice and help if you need it and you'll be investing in a local business. Check it out!

Fantastic experience: This is the first boxing gym I've been to and was surprised at how welcoming it was. Dave gave a great intro class and really focused on technique and individual attention. Super motivating with his passion and punches! Will be back!

Fantastic experience: I love this place. Dave (the owner) is the kind of teacher who adjusts how he teaches (and how he encourages) based on what works for you. He's more concerned with your progress than he is with his own ego. You'll feel that if you work with him. The gym isn't fancy (the "old school" bit in their tag line is accurate,) but has the heavy, double end, and speed bags you need to train. They used to have two rings, but they took one of them out to make more room for classes. In the back there's all kinds of old weight machines, some free weights, big ropes, a big tire, and probably some stuff I haven't found yet. I just know that on the days when I come here after work, I leave feeling good.

Fantastic experience: A real boxing gym. Dave is the best coach in town if you want to learn the "sweet science". The guy trains champions. Group classes are fun, intense, and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: My second favorite place in the planet, next to my home. Old school gym with the most amazing hospitality and family community you could hope for!

Fantastic experience: Great training atmosphere, staff is incredible friendly. Coach Dave is very helpful and supportive in training and very well experienced. Better than the general fitness boxing gyms anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: This is the BEST gym EVER! Dave is by far one of the nicest, most badass instructors around. If you are looking to box or just wanting to get in great shape this is the place to go. You won't feel like a client you will feel like a valued friend. I highly recommend this gym to everyone of every skill set.

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms I've been to, there are good classes and instructors too. Great for all fitness levels and Dave (the head coach) is incredibly knowledgeable and will help get you to wherever you want to be. I highly recommend this gym

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym for the first time in 2013 to get in shape from years as an over the road trucker. It works. Daves gym can be a relaxing place to work out on your own, or an incredibly intense place to learn "the sweet science" of boxing. "Fit for fighting" is an excellent class held twice a week. The full contact sparring clinic is held three times a week for those ready to "get in the ring." This has been a rewarding experience for me, working with novice, amateur, and professional boxers in 3 minute rounds under Dave's supervision. A great place to box, and to train!

Fantastic experience: It's my happy place everyone there is welcoming and motivating! Hope to see you around.

Fantastic experience: Awesome workout

Fantastic experience: Front Range boxing Academy is a great place to work out meet great people and have good fun

Fantastic experience: This is the best boxing gym in the world. Period. Front Range is a boxer’s paradise: a ring, many many bags of all types, weights, and that’s just half of it! This gym has heart and style, and the owner is a maestro of boxing and a true gentleman. Highly recommended for conisseuers of the sweet science!!!

Fantastic experience: Warm and welcoming women in the class. Dave the owner is full of positive energy too

Fantastic experience: Great staff and instructive intro classes

Fantastic experience: Dave is truly a great teacher.

Fantastic experience: Front Range Boxing Academy is an awesome, no-nonsense boxing gym. The type of place that makes you feel like you need to work while you're there. Dave coached me only a month for a golden gloves tournament and in that short amount of time I picked up a great amount of knowledge that I use to this day( I'm an amateur fighter). The people are friendly and its a great gym to belong to, mixed in with the expert training available it's the boxer's gym for sure.

Fantastic experience: I've never met a more welcoming gym environment. Everyone tries to help, almost to the point of making boxing a communal experience. They also do a great job of pushing you until you say no, but when the no comes, it's respected. This helped me my first few weeks when I was about to break down. Owner Dave Gaudette not only provides excellent, well thought out instruction, but the flavor of the gym as well. Just ask him to tell you about Marvin Hagler, The time he met Ali, or point out one of any number of the old black and white photos on the wall. You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I was a runner in high school and a competitive fencer in college and for several years thereafter. I enjoy hiking and biking and a generally active lifestyle. Nevertheless, I have never in my life been as strong or physically fit as the version of me that has survived a year’s worth of classes at Front Range. Boxing workouts are, hands-down, the best exercise I know, a combination of strength and endurance training that is fortunately so much fun, we often forget how hard it is. While I have discovered back muscles I didn’t know I had and I’ve definitely had to tighten the belt on my work pants a couple notches, I think the thing I like the most about Front Range is that these aren’t the big end-goals of the gym. When female boxers train together, it’s never about “getting skinny,” it’s about getting better at boxing. On the flip side, the bullshit machismo that is so prevalent in this kind of a gym is totally absent at Front Range. This gym seems to foster a real sense of comradery, with every student genuinely ready with help or advice for a beginner, and equally receptive to advice or criticism from other boxers. In that sense, it is a far cry from almost every competitive sport facility I have ever encountered! Boxing at Front Range has been a serious source of stress-relief for me since I moved to Boulder for a new job, and I have made some of my closest friends here while sweating out a few rounds on the heavy bag. I have only positive things to say about this fine institution!

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Front Range for just over two moths and it's been a great experience so far! Dave is one of the best teachers/coaches that I've met in a long time. I love the gym itself for its old school feel because that's how a boxing gym should be. All the other people I've met and trained with so far have been very welcoming and fun to work with. Dave is offering kids classes now so any parents interested in training for their kids or themselves should come by and talk with Dave, I promise you won't be disappointed. Chuck Martin

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great people, great classes. If you are in the Boulder area and are looking for a boxing gym, you have found it.

Fantastic experience: I love the the people that go here. Everyone seems to be really friendly and helpful. I love the art of boxing and so I decided to learn it, and I feel like I'm learning a ton.

Fantastic experience: I was intimidated as hell walking into this place. I pictured a bunch of bullys and thugs waiting to punch a new guy who couldn't defend himself. This is not the case. In fact this couldn't be farther from the truth when you are talking about Boxers. What I found here was a ton of nice and encouraging people that are willing to work with you to meet your personal goals. There is a class or workshop EVERY SINGLE DAY including Sundays and weekends where you can meet with trainers and other students, work out and improve your form. YOU NEVER HAVE TO GET PUNCHED to get in shape here. At the same time if competitive Boxing is your goal this is a world class gym run by a man that has won a title in at least two weight divisions. The owner Dave is a very down to earth person who won't BS you. He is about Boxing, strength and conditioning. Not about putting profits before people. Every trainer I have met here is fantastic, and even though they will try to encourage you to push your limits, they don't attempt to push you beyond what you feel is safe or healthy. If you are concerned about self defense or competition this is the most fundamental striking style.I would recommend this place to my mother and my own children. I don't know how I went so long without Boxing. . . . and in answer to the ensuing question. . . No I do not work there.
