Eppolito Boxing Gym is a full service boxing club - we have students who are serious competitors in the ring (we are USA-Boxing sanctioned - Club#542), students learning the sport for the pure joy of it, and students using the program as a fitness tool to get back into shape and lose weight. Our coaches have the right balance between pushing you to the next level and encouraging you for the successes you have in each class.
We have boxers who are getting started before they hit the double digits, we have boxers who are just getting started well into their 40s. There is a place for everyone! Come down and "give it the old one-two"! If you'd like to get running updates in your newsfeed for us, please like our facebook fan page, subscribe to our new youtube channel or just feel free to come down and visit with us, talk to Frank and Pam and learn more!

We all know that boxers are in fantastic physical condition. You can get in that same great condition without ever setting foot in a competitive boxing ring! At Eppolito Boxing Gym, we use the same techniques and training to get you in the best shape of your life - whether you are training for the ring or just getting into tip top shape.
If you've never tried boxing, you might think, compared to other sports, it's different because we use our hands and not our knees or elbows (okay, we do use them, just not to hit people). You might think the only thing in boxing that's important is scoring a knockout punch and skill or technique just don't matter.
There's nothing, nothing like the rush of getting in the ring and going toe-to-toe, eye-to-eye and fist-to-fist with a competitor. But it's not easy. Competitive boxing fights are not judged just on how skillful you are or which one "fought better." It counts points, and points are determined by the number of direct hits you make on your opponent.
Boxing is intense cardio work and burns a ton of calories. It also manages to do double duty for cardio as a great HIIT workout. Plus, the body weight exercises build muscle and physical stamina at the same time as you're building cardio endurance and torching calories. It's a great way to shed pounds and have fun at the same time.

The best boxing gym around!! Great for all experience levels. Coach Frank does an amazing job. I enjoyed the 5:30am classes for a more private session and also the evening class for a good night workout and a few more people to spar with. After moving out of Knoxville, I've been unsuccessful in finding a gym anywhere near the same caliber or vibe as Eppolito's. Highly recommend for anyone looking to train and get a good workout in. You may even see a few UT players or professionals while you're there ;)

If you are looking for a fun way to get fit, this is the place, in the past two months working with this boxing gym, my stamina and endurance has increased, I've lost weight and increased definition in certain areas all while learning a great sport. This is not like the other boxing gym's in Knoxville, you learn everything from proper form, footwork, defense and offense. This is not a "just hitting a bag only". His training is a HIIT level, and everyone does it. The people have all been friendly and courteous, from all walks of life and age. HIGHLY recommend

I am a 4-2 champion amateur female mma fighter, going pro this year and I have boxed in the amateur and done Muay Thai as well and coach frank knows his stuff. I specifically seek him out when I come here from Colorado to train with him because I improve every time we train.
Similarly, I recently brought my family to include my mom and siblings who are extreme beginners in even just fitness and he made them feel extremely comfortable and welcome. USA boxing is the only way to go for boxing, and he has it there.
I’m beyond thankful for coach and his family for helping me become a better striker

Eppolito Boxing Gym is the perfect place for anyone interested in learning how to box, get fit, learn self-defense or just have fun staying active. The gym caters to competitive amateurs, pros, and even grandmothers like me lol! The atmosphere is very professional controlled, and you're never forced to do anything you're not ready for or comfortable with. I was apprehensive to start, but after the first few times I was hooked. That was two years ago!
