Emily Spath
USA Boxing Silver Level Certified Coach · Level 1 Official
Emily Spath is the owner and founder of DogHouse Boxing & Fitness — a community-driven boxing gym dedicated to building strength, discipline, and confidence in athletes of all ages. Rooted in strong local community values, she has created a welcoming, inclusive environment that reflects the diversity of the athletes it serves: a gym truly for everyone.
As a Silver Level Certified Coach and Level 1 Official with USA Boxing, Emily brings a well-rounded understanding of both athlete development and competition standards. She places a strong focus on conditioning both the mindset and the body, ensuring her athletes develop mental toughness, resilience, and peak physical performance.
In addition to coaching, Emily specializes in boxer management and opportunity — guiding athletes through development, securing competitive bouts, and positioning them for long-term success in the sport. A defining part of her program is the Epic DogHouse Trips: travel, tournaments, and team-building events designed to expose young athletes to opportunities beyond the gym, broaden their perspective, and create lasting memories.
Through DogHouse Boxing & Fitness, Emily continues to develop disciplined fighters and strong individuals — inside and outside the ring — while fostering a culture where everyone feels supported, challenged, and empowered.
