King James Boxing and Fitness

Fantastic experience: A boxing lesson with King is the most fun and intense workout in the area, by a lot. King is motivating, kind and knows what he’s doing—highly recommend

Fantastic experience: King is the best trainer I have ever met.....I did martial arts for 10 years I got in a car accident I was so afraid to train again...I tried King James as a trainer and he helped me overcome my fears. I lost weight and got my confidence back. Thanks King!!!!

Fantastic experience: Great class! I was scared to try something new and King made the class so fun and yet still challenging. I’m hooked and will come back for more! Can’t wait to make this part of my workout routine, King knows what he is doing and will certainly get you in top shape!

Fantastic experience: I've been studying kickboxing for about seven years. It started off as a simple way to get stress relief, but then turned into a full-out obsession, where I began sparring, running drills, etc. Then, I took a year off and moved to Vermont, looking for a gym that offered something as intense and consistent as my gym in New Jersey. I needed to get back in shape, sharpen my skills, and meet new people. King James Boxing & Fitness is that place. The classes are intense (in the best way!) and the people there are supportive. King is also friendly and a great accountability partner. He'll keep you going, even when you want to quit on you. He's knowledgeable and versatile---swiftly able to work with beginners and more-seasoned boxers. The classes are small, but for this reason, King is able to focus on your specific tendencies and boxing struggles. It's great stress relief and you'll be coming back for more. No doubt!

Fantastic experience: King James is great! I decided to learn how to box to lose weight, get in shape, and most importantly defend myself. I started taking private lessons with him and he’s exceeded my expectations. We first do strength training exercises and then we box. I LOVE boxing, it’s the most fun workout I’ve ever had! He makes working out fun. I’ve also seen results on my weight loss and strength as well. I highly recommend him!

Fantastic experience: Getting back into boxing after some time off. Just moved to the Burlington area and feel super fortunate that King James is training here. He knows his stuff, pointed out some fundamentals of mine that had slipped and gave me a workout that made me sore for days. Boxing or general fitness, he'll get you where you want to be.

Fantastic experience: This guy is the real deal. James is the kind of coach who picks up on every nuance. He noticed some mistakes I was making right away that coaches in other martial arts gyms never bothered to correct. Plus, he switches up the workouts so that nothing is ever boring. Boxing is some of the toughest conditioning out there, but when you work with James his sense of humor and the light-hearted mood he creates makes the experience feel much easier. If you are looking for someone to give you just the right blend of encouragement, motivation, and feedback, then look no further than King James Boxing.

Fantastic experience: I recently started learning how to box on a whim without any prior experience. King eased me into the sport from the start, going over the basics in an easy to learn manner. He's a great coach, very welcoming and easy to work with. He encourages you to push yourself, and provides constructive feedback throughout to refine one's technique and form. I leave every session feeling like I've challenged myself and gradually improving, always looking forward to my next session. For anyone who's looking for a challenge and/or picking up boxing, I'd highly recommend King James Boxing and Fitness.

Fantastic experience: My son Theo wanted to learn Boxing. I thought Where in VT could we do that?? I googled Boxing and King James Boxing came up. We signed up right away. In the last year of boxing with King, Theo has grown stronger not only physically but also mentally! He’s learned boxing skills on the bag! It’s an amazing workout!! He’s also learned about respect — respect for your body and for others. I am really impressed with King. He’s been a great mentor for theo!! And boxing has been a great learning experience for theo; Teaching discipline, strength, endurance and respect!

Fantastic experience: Stays engaged, keeps you active and feeling stronger, more confident, and extremely exhausted..in a good way!

Fantastic experience: I started boxing with King James for maybe a month now and I've already seen improvement. Even if you're not interested in boxing its a good workout for loosing weight and building muscle.

Fantastic experience: My kid loved it and can’t wait to continue training with King. King gives my kid the confidence and reassurance he needs. He is patience, caring and kind spirited. He is and will continue to be a great role model for my kid.

Fantastic experience: Today was my first class at King James and it was more than I bargained for. I left the class saying this was the best workout I have ever done. King is encouraging, patient and full of skill that already has me wanting to go back for the next class. Fully recommend. Just prepare to leave sore and exhausted, in the best way.

Fantastic experience: I had my first session today with King James and to say that I am excited for what is to come is an understatement. As someone who has never conditioned my body I was very nervous to start this journey. Discussing and working with King today I felt no shame or guilt. King listened to my wants and needs as a client. He asked clarifying questions, and wanted to know about my previous injuries and their effects on my body and any concerns I may have surrounding them. He got me right into it and worked me for a solid hour, pushing me but never outside of my comfort zone as a beginner. Leaving Kings gym I immediately booked more sessions! I can’t believe I finally found someone so positive, encouraging, and willing to meet me where I’m at! So excited for what the future holds!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended! I took my first boxing lesson and not only was it an amazing workout- King was extremely knowledgeable and a great instructor

Fantastic experience: King James boxing is awesome!! King is welcoming, soft-spoken and easy to work with. He’s clearly a master of his craft but still relates to those in the early phases of learning it. Or, as he’d put it, “on the mountain for the first time.” He’s fun. He’s fast. And his class leaves you gassed. I’ll definitely be back. 5 stars and all the praise!!

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic time doing a vigorous work out with King James, and he even gave us some extra time to do a workout, 10/10, would always recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great experience! An amazing workout. Learned components of kick boxing and self defense. King is friendly, professional and really made me push myself. Already signed up for another class!

Fantastic experience: King is a great motivating coach that really wants to see his clients succeed and surpass their goals. His box-n-burn classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings are amazing workouts that leave you feeling stronger and more agile! Don’t pass up a chance to get a great workout with King!

Fantastic experience: King James is very patient and soft spoken, his approach really put me at ease even though this was my first time doing anything like boxing!

Fantastic experience: James takes his time to see where you are at and what you need work on. I took a private lesson after many, many large classes in the state of FL from another trainer and I was not disappointed. He brings you through a workout that is both effective and practical, bringing you to your edge but not past it. Not just a sweat, but a clinic in boxing. You won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: My very first class was about a month ago and I have been hooked ever since. The class is a variety of cardio, strength, boxing, and core and it is a KILLER! One of the best workouts I have ever done. King is also a great coach and will work with you on form throughout the entire workout. He will push you, encourage you, and help you. You will leave feeling like a million bucks....and sore for the next 4 days. I highly recommend checking this guy out!!

Fantastic experience: The class was great! I have wanted to sign up for a kickboxing class for a while but always just kinda would drift away from the idea when it came to signing up, I’m so glad I tried this one! King James seems like a really great instructor and I cant wait to return back!:)

Fantastic experience: My son loves training with Coach King

Fantastic experience: He’s a good coach, knows what he’s doing he can get you in great shape with the things he teaches you, i’ve been doing boxing for a year already and I’ve only been too 5-6 classes and I’ve already learned a lot more from him.

Fantastic experience: This man is amazing at what he does. His attention to detail and technique shows how much he's passionate about his craft. His energy is infectious and he's very understanding. It was my first time trying a boxing class and he understood how to communicate with me to get the best results. From giving a mean fade to cutting one, he can do it all!

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming, clean environment. Judgement free zone! Hands on training that you cannot usually get at a typical gym. Specialized training sessions based on your goals!

Fantastic experience: Have done private boxing workouts with him and they have been awesome for my overall health/well-being. King James seems like a good person and does his job well. I have recommended him to friends and family. His workouts are intense but fun.

Fantastic experience: Great experience! Great coach! My first day I was pushed and felt a lot of encouragement definitely will continue to go. I felt very empowered and now want to take boxing further then exercise!

Fantastic experience: if you want a great workout, this is the spot. like not just another “great workout” like a makes you sweat, wanna throw up, probably cry, and be the most proud that you finished, every single time, kind of workout.

Fantastic experience: King James Boxing (run by the gym's namesake, a Former Middleweight Champion) is a great place to train, workout and spar. The Box N Burn class is fun, hands-on (and gloves-on!), and a great, invigorating and demanding workout. Don't let King's mellow demeanor fool you; he is dedicated to the sport of boxing and, at every class I've been to, gives each student one on one time for sparring and pointers. Highly recommend this gym. COVID bonus: Taking classes outdoors is a super fun and refreshing way to continue to safely exercise in groups. (There is also an indoor setup, which is equally well equipped and a great space to train.)

Fantastic experience: Nice place to take classes. Similar to other boxing gyms. The 1 on 1 classes are helpful, very personable and works at your pace. Fairly priced for 1 on 1 session.

Fantastic experience: I just started boxing, as a beginner I already love it because of how I’m getting trained both mentally and physically. The trainer is precise, motivating, enthusiastic and an excellent traine in general. He gives great instructions and guides you in every little step towards what you’re going for... the workouts are a little intense but it’s all worth at the end.

Fantastic experience: Haven't boxed in over a year. James took the time to remind me of the basics and showed a lot of passion.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking to be fit or get in the ring, training with King James will get you into fighting shape. Knowledgeable and intense workouts but not intimidating and for every experience level.

Fantastic experience: Today was my first day training with King James and it was amazing! It was fun, I learned alot and we really got deep into the muscles that's for sure. I really like his training technique. He's encouraging and it kept me on my toes. I'd recommend King James Boxing & Fitness to anyone looking for a good motivator and trainer. I'll definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Very good training great for getting in shape or competition ready I recommend everyone to try

Fantastic experience: I had so much fun and can't wait to go back. No judgment zone. He really pushes you to give it you all. Very positive and encouraging environment

Fantastic experience: King James is the best. For 1hr I burned over 500. The cues were helpful. He was very motivating and he took the time to talk about my diet. Would recommend

Fantastic experience: Nothing but good things to say about King James Boxing and Fitness. Extremely flexible for scheduling and he will tailor your workout to your needs. He pushed me from the start to the finish. His workouts are user-friendly for anyone from first timers to pros. I highly recommend working with him. His rates are also very affordable. Again, nothing but good things to say!

Fantastic experience: I was in town on business and looking for a good workout. Extremely glad I found King and had a chance to train with him. Great motivator and fantastic workout. Wish I lived in the area to really take advantage of his skills and experience.

Fantastic experience: I went to my first Box-N-Burn class at King James Boxing and Fitness and it was awesome! The workout was killer and King was encouraging and gave really helpful cues on form. Hitting the mitts with him was the most fun I have ever had in a boxing class. It was fast paced, challenged my tired mind and body, and again, his cues on form were so helpful. I will definitely be going back and highly recommend taking a class with King!

Fantastic experience: Came into first class knowing nothing. Left with solid understanding of boxing basics. Will definitely come back!

Fantastic experience: Great trainer. He traines you physically and mentally. For a 1h I usually burn no less than 400 calories . I definitely recommend and the price is affordable.

Fantastic experience: Super good trainer! Very encouraging and tailors the workouts to your skill set! Definitely would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend King James Boxing and Fitness! I just had my first session, and it was super fun and a really good workout! I was definitely nervous to try this totally new thing, but I am so glad I did. I can't wait for my next session!

Fantastic experience: I came here as an impulsive decision with zero boxing experience, completely out of shape, and had a great time. I highly recommend coming here.

Fantastic experience: I have a really hard time pushing myself through mental blocks in workouts, and taking my workout to the next level. With King James, I didn’t even have to think about it, he just brought me there. I had an amazing first session and I can’t wait to go back!!!

Fantastic experience: Wow! What a great workout! Technical training and conditioning, customized for your fitness level. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Incredible. Has the ability to adapt workouts to what you need. I highly recommend.
