AK Boxing Club

"This review is long overdue, but Antoine and his classes left such an impact on me, it would be a crime to not give him his praise. From a boxing class standpoint, I can guarantee you right now it’s the best you’re going to find in NYC. Whether you’re there for a fun workout or to compete as a boxer, Antoine has the know-how and dedication to getting you where you want to be. Now what really sets this place apart is Antoine’s character and passion. He puts his heart and soul into connecting with each of his students during every single class and doesn’t take any of his students for granted. He will go that extra mile to spend 20 minutes after class with you, to make sure you got value and feel satisfied with every single class, to encourage you and push you in a way you didn’t even know was possible. He might even be more drenched in sweat than you are by the end of class due to giving it all holding pads or sparring with you. His energy is positive and infectious and all his students love him. Come here if you are seeking something more than a workout class. Come here if you are seeking a coach and community that will uplift and inspire you to achieve great things and become the best boxer and best possible version of yourself. Seriously, just come in and give it a try — I promise you will not regret it."

"Best boxing coach in NYC!!! Antoine’s approach focuses on actually teaching you technique at your own pace, mixing in intense workouts to round things out. Small class sizes, focused attention, highly recommend."

"Love this place. Unlike any other gym I’ve been to in NYC. Firstly, everyone gets a lot of time with the coach, it feels like private sessions, no other gym I’ve seen does that. Antoine is an awesome coach who teaches actual real boxing with a mix of mitts, heavy bags, defense, technique and footwork. There are options to spa that are suitable for all levels, from complete beginner to very experienced! It’s a great community of people who want to help each other with some very experienced people to learn from and some (like me) lesser experienced boxers to grow with. Also a great workout. I 100% recommend AK Boxing to anyone at any skill or experience level."

"AK is the best boxing gym I've ever been to! In just a few months, I've seen incredible progress in my boxing ability and fitness. Antoine grounds his teaching in realistic fighting insights, quickly adjusts to give everyone in class personalized attention, and pushes you to challenge yourself. The classes are small and a really welcoming community, for any experience level. I've tried other gyms and there's really nothing like this!"

"If you want an incredible, challenging workout while actually learning the art of boxing, AK Boxing Club is for you. Antoine is a passionate, patient coach who has built a supportive community that welcomes everyone. The studio at 160 Broadway does not meet boxing gym stereotypes. It's stylish, clean and equipped with all the things you need for an authentic boxing workout: traditional heavy bags, water bags, double end, uppercut and speed bags, plus weights, battle ropes and more. I am a stronger, fitter, more confident version of myself because of the coach and the community here."
