Northside Athletic Club

"I cannot tell you how grateful I am for the owner Mike. Both of my kids worked out at this gym with little to NO prior experience. Mike went out of his way to make them feel comfortable and teach them the correct skillset. My son has Autism and Mike’s patience with him was incredible. He knew exactly what to say and how to encourage my son to prevent him from shutting down and just giving up. Mike is constantly trying to inspire and help todays youth. He goes above and beyond to help children have an opportunity and outlet. It’s rare to come across someone so selfless. Thanks for all that you do!! You’re definitely an inspiration to more kids/people than you may even realize."

"Best gym around! The coaches are so supportive inside and outside of the gym. Grades are checked to hold kids accountable to get the chance to fight free of charge, which teaches them discipline and responsibility. The gym is a nonprofit which is so awesome for the community and youth, and I love going here! Everyone is kind, respects and helps one another, and works hard!"

"This club was started with the mission of changing peoples lives for the better. Whether you are looking to try boxing strictly for the workout gains or you are interested into competitive boxing, they have a program for you. The staff there will make you feel comfortable no matter what your personal goals are. They offer programs and classes for women and children. In fact, the club is focused on the idea of giving children a place where they can learn the discipline, confidence and growth that boxing can offer. The club is a non profit that has a mission to serve the local community. Make no mistake about it, whether you are an adult male, female, or a child, the owner will make sure that you always feel safe in this gym based on the goals you are looking to gain from going. Mike might get tough on you during training at times, but he is always the biggest supporter in your corner. I honestly can’t think of a better person to have in your corner. I recommend this gym a lot and will continue to do so. This gym was formed by great people, doing great things, to make the world a better place."

"Excellent boxing gym! Whether you are here to fight or just to workout, you will not find a better gym. Mike is extremely knowledgeable and makes a great coach. He teaches you how to legitimately learn to box, not boxercise like a lot of other gyms. Aside from Mike being a great coach, the gym is welcoming of everyone.The kids who come absolutely love this place. He takes the time to explain and show kids in a way they’ll understand. If you’ve been here, you’ll know just how much the kids gravitate and enjoy learning from Mike. He makes it fun for everyone while still learning. I highly recommend this gym to anyone!"
