Le Boxeur Gym

Experiencia fantástica: I visited on my birthday because it was something I've been wanting to do for a while. Action is a down to earth guy. He walked me through the basics and was very encouraging throughout. I'll definitely be back to learn some more lessons.

Experiencia fantástica: Action was always patient with me and adjusted the exercises for my nonexistent skill level. If I still lived in NOLA I would definitely still come here!

Experiencia fantástica: Came in from out of town and did a session with Action. Kept it fun, relaxed environment and I learned a lot. Plus it was an amazing workout!

Experiencia fantástica: I dropped in back in September when I was in town for a conference. I had the toughest boxing class of my life and I mean that as a full compliment! Old school, no AC, constant movement. If I lived in New Orleans I'd be here and I'd be Rocky in a year. Action had no problem with me dropping in and if I'm ever back in New Orleans I'll visit again!

Experiencia fantástica: I did my research on boxing gyms, reading reviews and websites, and I will definitely say that I made the BEST choice by selecting Le Boxeur Gym. For the record, I’m from Houston and was visiting NOLA for a week. Additionally, I’m in my mid-40s, not as fit and trim as I once was, and wanted to take private lessons with someone who had years of experience. I’ve had some prior boxing experience, but had been 10+ years. I decided to train with Matt (‘The Coach’) because I wanted to focus on boxing technique, endurance and strength; again, I made the best choice. Matt is one of the most intuitive people I’ve trained with. In about 5 to 10 minutes he knew everything from my personality to my taste in music. He has such a good sense/read of the person he is training, and of what they’re capable, and oh man does he push you without using what I call shame tactics. These are the qualities to look for in a trainer because he will customize based off of your strengths and weaknesses. I trained with Matt for three days only, and while the warm-up was the same, everything the last 50-minutes was a surprise. Training with him makes one realize why boxing is called the “sweet science”; plus he’s super smart, and a good conversationalist. The gym itself is pretty raw, meaning no A/C; however, it has everything you need to box (different types of bags, ring, etc.) and to train in boxing (weighted gloves, dumbbells, etc.). My recommendation is just go and train, with either Matt or Fred. I met Fred, the boxer, who looks intimidating, but is a friendly and approachable guy. I’ve already told a couple of friends who live in NOLA about my experience, and I plan on training here again when I return in October. This is an amazing opportunity (and price) for the training and experience they offer.
