The Boxing Gym – West Seattle

I happened upon this gym by accident and it was exactly what I needed. I’ve always been athletic and exercised regularly, but this experience has been phenomenal.
Lee (owner/​coach) is clearly dedicated, a wealth of knowledge and balances challenging you with a lot of humor. He has built a wonderful community and it’s clear he is in this for the long haul.
It doesn’t matter if you have exercised before or have sparred before – everyone will get something out of these classes and will get a good workout. He includes a variety of exercises, training routines and gives individual attention throughout the class. He is also very responsive to questions.
I highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants a new challenge, who wants to sweat and get strong in new ways and who wants to have a good time.

Excellent class. While it was a group class, the instructor made sure each person used proper form and stayed on task. The beginner class employed a variety of warm ups followed by some fundamental boxing activities. They have bags, a boxing ring, mits, jump ropes, gloves, etc. It is recommended to bring wrist wraps and anything else you’d rather have of your own.

Coach Lee is very accommodating, humble and has a knack for developing rapport with members. He genuinely cares and is invested in making the experience enjoyable. having been trained in Mexican style by my last coach, Lee has been helpful with coaching both fundamentals and more technical aspects of the science. He also has done a good job with putting a ring together. Wahoo — corner drills and more spar sessions soon! Gym is still new and establishing, but good things seem to be in store.

The Boxing Gym is a safe, supportive, and trusting community. The environment that Coach Lee Torres has created is a testament to his coaching style. He is passionate in the sport of boxing and just as importantly in his coaching. He bothers to know you as a person, evolves your individual talent and skill and tailors his coaching to each athlete. He listens, is progressive and constructive in his teachings and genuinely believes in your ability. He is always respectfully pushing you to do more than what you think you can do and you’ll soon realize you had it in you all along. He just helps you bring it forward. The environment at The Boxing Gym is physically and emotionally safe and the students are welcoming. They are comfortable to train with and are supportive of each other’s individual goals. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who’s even slightly curious about learning to box to seasoned boxers looking for an open gym.

I’ve worked in the health & fitness industry for over 15 years and I’ve finally found the perfect gym for me: The Boxing Gym — West Seattle! It has a sense of community I cherish, a coach that we all trust & believe in, and it also gives me the ability to surpass goals that I had originally though impossible.
If you truly want to learn the art of boxing… gain confidence… relieve stress… meet new people.
Try it, you won’t be disappointed.

Lee Torres is the best coach I’ve ever known.
The gym is a very friendly and accepting place, great to work hard and learn new techniques.
