Programs

Train like you
mean it.

Real boxing — for fighters, athletes, and everyone in between. There's a program that fits.

01

Youth Boxing

Ages 7+ · Mon–Thu · 5:30–6:30 PM

Where your kid learns to throw a real punch. Footwork, stance, discipline — taught the right way. Some kids will go on to compete. Most won't, and that's fine. The lessons translate over a lifetime, in and out of the ring.

02

Fight Team

Mon–Thu · 4:30–7:30 PM · USA Boxing sanctioned

For athletes who want to compete. Individual programs — you can't cheat the time put in. Following USA Boxing models, our team will get you fight-ready, mentally and physically. Plus the Epic DogHouse Trips: travel, tournaments, team-building beyond the gym.

03

Adult Boxing

Mon–Thu · 6:30 PM

Real boxing for adults — beginners welcome, experienced boxers pushed. Technique, sparring when you're ready, and conditioning at intensity. Specialty: athlete development and management using USA Boxing strategies.
