The pandemic took a toll on a lot of businesses and people including coach Alfredo. His love and dedication for his students speaks volumes. He trained rain or shine in a park in Alameda when he couldn't train in a gym because he knew they needed it and he needed it. I see him and training gives him so much life. It's amazing to watch. He is a hardworking trainer who teaches not only boxing, but life lessons. Fast forward, here is is with a new roof and new home. My son loves trying hereand a good coach is hard to find.

Coach Alfredo is not only an amazing coach, but an upstanding person all around. His perspective on boxing (and life) is refreshingly positive; he is an asset to the community.He leads with respect for everyone, and approaches training with a calm intensity. His kind teaching style along with his demand for proper technique is a perfect balance of discipline & care in a trainer. In a sport that is often dominated by over-sized male egos, Alfredo is a coach with a healthy sense of self, who does not operate with any type of arrogance or egoism.I trained competitively with Coach Alfredo from 2016-2018 and competed twice under his training. He led me to wins in both fights. His reassuring presence saved me when the nerves set in before competition. He believed in me more than I did myself at times, and pushed me farther than I thought I could go. As someone from the LGBTQ+ community I can't say enough how his respectful and accepting presence meant to me.Super happy to see him opening his own gym; his coaching is a tribute to the sport and a gift to anyone who trains with him-- whether that be to compete seriously, to learn more about the sport, or to get in shape.

Alfredo Gopa is an exceptional boxing trainer who demonstrates his passion and love for the sport by teaching the sweet science to all levels of fighters (beginner to advanced). Since 2010, I’ve trained with Alfredo; and he has helped me, along with others, develop skills inside and outside the ring. He will systematically break down fundamentals and advanced techniques simplistically for you to absorb the movements mentally. A crucial request Alfredo has for all his fighters is discipline and patience to help them reach their personal goals. He’ll work with you at your own pace and pair you with others at your level. Alfredo’s team is community-oriented, which creates a friendly atmosphere for everyone. I’m excited for the new gym to open - it’s a great addition to the neighborhood and will positively impact the community.

My daughter has been training with Alfredo for 5 years and it has been a pleasure to have him as her coach! He is great with the youth and is really trying to build something for the community. I grew up 2 blocks away and definitely can tell you that this is well needed for everyone of all races! Besides being an awesome coach he is a cool person as well!!.. send your kids to this man and you will definitely start to notice a great change in behavior and attitude from them!! And if you're looking to go pro go GOPA!........

I have been training with coach Alfredo for over a year. I am an adult female who is mainly focused on getting stronger and staying fit. Alfredo coaches everyone, from kids and young adults training to be pro boxers, to people - like me -  are exercising for health purposes. His new gym will open soon and it is really an amazing space: super clean and spacious! I love the great ventilation thanks to the roll-up door which lets in plenty of fresh air and sunlight. I always get a great workout with coach Alfredo, who is extremely patient and kind. His training makes me lighter, stronger and more limber. I will continue training with coach Alfredo moving forward. Join us at Gopa Boxing Club!
