In 2001, Paul Wade celebrated a Golden Gloves title win. Following that, he began to focus on training and developing fighters, producing numerous Golden Gloves champions. But boxing in San Francisco had seen better days, and there was a pressing need for an authentic gym. A space on Third Street opened up, and with its concrete walls, iron piping, and low ceilings, it had the look and feel he wanted: a hard space for hard workouts.
We offer Beginner Boxing 1 no experience is required, and this first class is 50% off! You won't need gloves or hand wraps for this class; just bring a jump rope for warmup (or you can loan or buy one at the front desk). Please note, this class is popular and normally fills up-if you no-show or late cancel (less than 4 hours), you'll be billed a fee!
Use our 5700 square foot facility to train on your own during "open gym hours"- REGISTRATION REQUIRED, spaces are limited! You can sign up through our app! We have all the equipment you need! Perfect for the lone wolf who's not looking to take classes. Please note that we limit "open gym" hours to allow our staff adequate time to deep clean the facility between sessions.
Our "Academy" classes are taught by our skilled and seasoned trainers, and are formatted after a classic boxer's workout and training regimen. If you're looking to focus on your boxing technique, or eventually want to spar or compete, this program is for you! A smaller class size allows participants more one-on-one coaching from the instructor.
We are thrilled to re-open our doors to our boxing family! Here at 3rd Street Boxing Gym, in addition to limited capacity, we are enforcing certain protocols required by government public health agencies to ensure the safety of our members. Our team takes adequate time between each class, personal training session, and open gym hour to thoroughly sanitize the entire facility.

Such a welcoming environment for newcomers and veterans alike. Third St Boxing is the best and an amazing place to work out or tune your skills.

Came to try out the gym because they had alot of good reviews. After a couple weeks of going I started to noticed some of the coaches where not to fond of me to the point of being flat out disrespected by one one day. I had to cancel. Sorry not sorry.

This is a good boxing gym with classes and it's available with Classpass. I tried to go to Open Gym and Tough Love. I met the trainers and it's in Dogpatch. You can visit any day with classes. If you want to box it's called "Academy" and there's pricing.

This is a very unbiased opinion, but it is one I'm mad about. Less than a few hours ago, I went to 3rd street for a boxing lession, I was a bit late and the instructor told me to wait for the manager or something, so I waited for 20 minutes and she came. She asked if I wanted to go in but it'll only be for 20 minutes cause it was almost over, I said yes, she said I'll have to wait until 5:30, I said yes. I went to the car and walked for like 2 minutes, I waited for 30 minutes went back and low and behold, she to,d me she never said anything about me going back in 5:30, I honestly

Finding a gym you feel comfortable at can be difficult. I walked into Third Street Boxing with some experience, it can be a bit intimidating but I felt welcomed as soon as I walked in. The staff and coaches are all motivating, and no matter what boxing experience you have, you are guaranteed to have a good workout. I need to warn you, these classes are addicting!
My son who is 9 years old also attends the youth boxing class and has enjoyed it as well.

I love third street boxing gym. Their instructors are great and so helpful with form and technique. I always leave the gym dripping with sweat. Their boxing workout is one of the most cathartic and fun workouts I’ve done and I love how Boxing has changed my endurance and strength for the other physical practices I’m into. Try tough love! It’s the best!🙌🏽🙌🏽👊🏽🥊

The best boxing gym in San Francisco. I have been boxing for around 6, 7 months, and this place is my favorite place in the bay.

Coach Dave gives clear instructions, great boxing tips and conditioning plans to make sure you are fit and ready. Also, Mark, who has been coming to the gym for years, taught me so many boxing tricks and fundamentals that I still practice every day. So not only you can learn tons from coaches but also you have a great community in the gym who is willing to help you to get better as a boxer! I was really lucky to join this gym and meet these people who gave me tips and

This has been the BEST boxing studio I have ever been too. The most incredible instructors who are elite trainers. I have been here for 2 months and have seen a drastic change physically and mentally I feel incredible. Aside from the most incredible staff this gym is literally spotless every time I’m here. I also happen to notice that every time Daniel is operating the gym it’s not only spotless but everything is in order and he’s always helping perfect my boxing form and skills. I can’t imagine my life without this place. Thank you 3rd Street Boxing for existing and to each and every staff

I've been eyeing this gym for the last two years since I was a member at a rock gym across the street. As I was looking at Groupon one day I found a good deal and decided it was time to give it a try. I've only done kickboxing before so I figure this would be similar. I waited until I was fully vaccinated to activate my Groupon. I was able to skip the first class since I was familiar with the basics but decided to take the second beginner's class for a refresher. Parking on the streets on a Sunday is free. The class only had 10 people in it and Israel is very knowledgeable. He checked

I have been taking classes off and on at 3rd Street Boxing Gym for a few years even though I consider myself as a perpetually challenged in areas of coordination and fitness. Honestly, I still feel intimidated to take classes with those who are much better boxers. What keeps me going back to the gym is the fact that Paul and his staff have created a truly welcoming and encouraging space for all levels of boxers, and I have never re-lived that "the last kid to be picked for a team" experience at gym. And I just love the feeling of punching a heavy bag after a long and stressful week.

I took a beginner's boxing class with Israel this morning and had so much fun! I was admittedly intimidated after not working out in quite a while and jumping straight into something as challenging as boxing, but Israel made it low-stress and enjoyable. They have clearly disinfected the gym, the equipment, and the classes take place outside, punching bags and all! It definitely seemed like they took Covid-19 seriously and put the necessary safety measures in place, leaving me feeling assured I could work out safely. I'm looking forward to my next class!

As a beginner I was somewhat intimidated to try this place out, but I am SO GLAD I did! Everyone from the staff to gym goers are incredibly welcoming and encouraging. I never feel bad about asking questions or getting the form wrong. The instructors and fellow boxers are there to help and you really get to know people when you go regularly. It definitely has a family vibe which is really cool.

Just after several weeks of boxing, I could see and feel the definition in my upper body. They offer a variety of classes, all of which are a full body workout because they include cardio and strength training

This is great place to learn how to box. The classes are great workout. I only did the 7:30 am old school boxing but it was always a great workout and a great way to start off your day. You always leave the place feeling better about yourself and with more energy than when you came in.

Dave is an amazing boxing instructor! What a great workout! I also love how he's constantly walking around helping people with their technique so you always feel like you're improving with each class.
The staff at the gym was also amazing! Very welcoming, friendly, and making a point to make sure everyone is following current protocol to keep everyone safe. This is the first time I've gone inside a gym since the shut down so I didn't know what to expect or how I'd feel, but the staff and members were great, I felt safe, and I noticed that, after the class, everyone cleaned

During lockdown, I looked forward to virtual classes with Jamie.
Her classes were what I needed to inspire me to push myself after trying to exercise on my own. Her workouts varied each week and were always challenging.

This review is for the pre-covid era.

The quality of classes, equipment and instructors were great.

No piece of equipment was lacking even with a full class, nothing was too torn up, bathrooms and cubbies are clean, and the open space really helps you breathe when you're putting in work.

It would be an awesome add to see more classes that are geared towards intermediate folks or those who want to get their teeth sharpened for sparring and challenges.

Had a fantastic experience here!! I took the beginners class in the evening and loved it! The instructors are super attentive. There were about 7 or so people in our class and they kept coming back and reminding everyone of small things to adjust. The instructors felt really approachable and kind - it was a great environment to be a beginner in!

The gym itself has bathrooms, places to store your stuff, and plenty of equipment. They have a variety of classes they told me about and I'm excited to maybe try some of the others!
