I recently joined Ballard Boxing as a way to supplement my regular gym workout routine. And, I wasn't disappointed. Under the skillful eye of owner and trainer Gary Ballard, I am beginning to learn the basics of boxing. As an older adult for me, it's more about getting a great cardio workout, but I quickly realized it's a whole body workout. I have a new found respect for the strength and stamina needed to hold up your arms and punch and move around the ring.In short, Gary is the real deal... an accomplished retired professional boxer who makes the classes fun and he has a great personality. It's evident that Gary truly cares about all his students and is simply a genuinely kind person.Thank you, Gary

I'm a stay-at-home dad that needed his but whipped and help to stay in shape. Gary has been an absolutely amazing trainer and not only helped me to get back into shape but also learn a very valuable skill in boxing. I can't recommend training with Gary enough and my advice to anyone out there, it's worth every penny and mental effort to work with Gary.

Been training with Gary for some time. Gary is a former pro boxer so you know you're learning the true boxing craft. You can either schedule group classes or individual personal classes( which I recommend if you want to challenge yourself). Either way, the man knows his stuff. I can guarantee you will have fun and lose that stubborn fat in the process.

I was referred to Gary by my neurologist after being diagnosed for Parkinsons. After telling my wife what a great workout I was getting, she decided to join me, and now we have weekly sessions together with Gary. He hasn't cured my Parkinsons, but he's helped get me in as good a shape as I've been in for 30 years, and my wife says it's the best workout she's ever had.

Gary's boxing workout is a total mind and body experience. From the warm up (while he takes the time to wrap our hands), to boxing in the ring, to the end of workout stretch and cool down. It is thorough and fun. Good for all ages and exercise abilities. Good for core strengthening. I took his classes to prepare for my back surgery, which made healing so much quicker. I am a fan of Ballard Boxing and Fitness.

I have been taking group boxing classes with Gary Ballard for a month now and I'm LOVING IT! It's a great hour workout and Gary makes the classes challenging but fun. The people in each class are all so friendly, are of all ages and experience, and Gary adds a personal touch by getting to know each and every one of his members. I love that you can work as hard as you want in each class - the more you put in to it, the more you get out of it!
