Main Event Boxing and Fitness: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym!! Coach Juan C. is an awesome coach, don't let his height fool you!! The owner Andrian is also a very skilled coach. Classes are fun and challenging!! Perfect for beginners all the way to skilled boxers.
Fantastic experience: Adrian is a phenomenal boxer & instructor! I love how much I have learned at this gym in such a short amount of time. I have seen Adrian works with kids, teens and adults of all ages! Check it out if you want to really learn how to box!
Fantastic experience: I've belonged to Main Event on-and-off over the past 10 years since it was called "Evanston Boxing Club" and was located on the N. Side of Downtown Evanston. The former head coach Dave was a solid trainer, and the current head coach Andrian is no different. tl;dr: it's a great place to train if you care about a good boxing/kickboxing workout with good people. The gym itself is well-stocked with basic equipment, respectably sized to handle classes of up to 20 people at a time, plenty of heavy bags, and boxing gear available to borrow (jump ropes, gloves, handwraps, focus mitts, although you should ideally get your own at some point if you join). It is extremely bare-bones and low on amenities beyond equipment - there is no shower, no water fountain (water bottles available for purchase), and there's a single half-bath. It is very much geared towards people who want to show up, get in a boxing workout, and leave soon after. The gym has evening classes five days a week (5:30PM, then 6:30PM) plus morning classes on Tues/Thurs/Sat/Sun. There's Muay Thai/Kickboxing on M/W evenings (soon also Fridays again) Andrian is also broadly available for private lessons at reasonable rates (one-on-one and small-group), and I've had little issue arranging to train on my own the few times I've wanted to go into the gym without class going on. There's also a very active kids boxing program five days a week at 4:30 (I don't know much about this, but it looks like Andrian has 1-2 parents helping corral the 15 kids or so - it's a VERY popular program). A typical boxing class has a 5-10 minute warmup, alternating rounds of heavy-bag work + conditioning, 2-3 rounds of partner drills (focus mitts or defense drills), more bag work, more conditioning, then cool-down stretches. Andrian is very welcoming of beginners and will spend time working with them during class to help them get the hang of things, and the people in the gym are all very friendly and glad to help as well. Most members are casual athletes there to workout, but there's a small cohort of more serious members who are amateur boxers. Cost is well under what most other gyms with combat sports would charge. The gym is also decent with COVID protocols (asking people to wear masks, everyone cleans the space after class, open doors), but it's still an indoor workout space with high-intensity activity, so you should still get your COVID vaccine if you haven't already.
Fantastic experience: Thats the place you or your kids should to be. Coach know how to deliver right skills to you. Gym equipped with all what you need , even ping pong table in the back . Perfect place for young kids and adults. Love it!
Fantastic experience: Best gym around! If you want an actual workout come and see for yourself!
Fantastic experience: Andrian is hands down one of the best, if not the best, boxing coaches in Chicago! If you want to learn strong boxing fundamentals, get in shape, and meet awesome people, Main Event Boxing and Fitness the place for you.
Fantastic experience: Such a great gym to get boxing skills and physical strength, amazing energy
Fantastic experience: Always the best workout. Has all the equipment for boxing needs
Fantastic experience: Andrian the head trainer/owner will help you achieve what you want whether it’s the basics getting you ready for a fight or somewhere in between you will feel comfortable. The group classes are challenging and get you in great shape. I highly recommend joining. This isn’t one of those cookie cutter corporate boxing gyms This is an asset to the community. And a big bonus they have kid classes that are amazing.
Fantastic experience: Great gym!!! The boxing classes are the best and got me in the best shape that I have ever been in! The instructor Adrian is a great boxing trainer and provides a great workout. I highly recommend joining this gym!
Fantastic experience: I have always been interested in combat sports and training like a boxer, but never knew where to go or how to start, so I am grateful that I found Main Event Boxing and Fitness. It has truly been life-changing. If you need the glitz & glamour & high rates of a boutique-style 'fitness' gym, then ME may not be the place for you. If you are interested in getting in the best condition of your life, all while learning a skill, being around a great, supportive community of people, & getting 1st rate coaching and encouragement, then you need to do yourself a favor and stop by Main Event or call Coach Adrian.
Fantastic experience: Great gym to workout in. Knowledgeable instruction. You get a real workout. Actual boxing gym with sparring and other forms of fighting.
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym!
Fantastic experience: This is THE boxing gym you want to join! Everyone is welcome at Andrian's gym. Older, younger, women, men, it doesn't matter, all are welcome and the classes are top-notch training. Adrian, the owner, is an awesome coach! He also happens to be a really nice guy. Very welcoming, great classes, great price. ... not to mention a professional Ju-Jitsu gym right next door that can be part of the package. HIGHLY recommended for a great workout and to make some new friends!
Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms for Muay Thai, boxing, and crossfit in Evanston! In fact, Andrian, the owner, used to be a boxing coach for Northwestern. Andrian aslo charges a very reasonable rate and lets you train in cross disciplines. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an awesome workout!
Fantastic experience: The very best
Fantastic experience: Best gym around for CrossFit, Boxing and Muay Thai training. Ask for Adrian and he’ll hook you up.
Fantastic experience: Main Event is a great place to get fit and learn how to box. It is unpretentious, friendly and focused on getting you in the best shape possible. It’s not a place for glamour shots or posing. Andrian is a great coach and trainer. His class is good for both beginners and experienced boxers. My favorite aspect of the place is that it’s kind of hidden, tucked away behind a shopping center inside an old warehouse. If decide to go, be open minded and ready to work hard.
Fantastic experience: This is a great gym that offers boxing for adults and kids, CrossFit, Muay Thai, and mobility classes. People of all ages and genders are welcome. Andrian is a great coach who works with everyone to help them improve their technique and actually get better. The gym itself if full of friendly and helpful members.
