I was a regular of Northside Boxing for over 4 years (first in Chicago, before COVID, and then in Evanston). Coach Rich has built an incredible gym where people can train with the purpose of getting to know the sport and carry on a healthy routine (as I did), but also where young amateurs train hard to kickstart their career. Northside has a beautiful community and a program where people take care of each other, and that's something I haven't seen in many gyms.

Great gym with great coaches. Everyone is knowledgeable and interested in helping you do better and train harder. Northside boxing is generating an awesome community.The group classes are great and for all levels. The coaches are always willing to help and provide tips as long as you’re willing to ask the questions and put in some work. They also offer dedicated sparring time slots for boxing.They have weight lifting classes and groups too. This gym has a bit of everything and the community is really welcoming.

Northside Boxing offers great group classes and private classes for boxing and strength training. The group classes have flexible timing on all weekdays, so it's relatively easy to find a time that works. There are a few boxing coaches with different coaching styles, which gives boxers of all skill levels to work on things they prefer, such as conditioning, technique, footwork, etc. For more systematic and detailed training, the private sessions are also great: I train strength and technique with two coaches, Mike and Ewan, and they have been amazing coaches and super helpful. The private classes really help people improve specific skills and make the training a lot more fun as well. The owner of the gym, Richie, also coaches and always puts in the effort to improve the gym and make everyone feel welcome.There are also sparring session with coaches present for guidance and coordination, which makes the sparring a lot safer. There are usually boxers of different weight class during these sessions and it is not difficult to find people of similar weight and experience for sparring. People are very supportive in the gym and the environment is great for all skill levels. Sometimes Northside organizes boxing matches which are very exciting and creates great opportunity for amateur boxers.I am really grateful to have the chance to meet everyone at the gym and would recommend it to anyone!
