Maxwell's Boxing
Maxwell's Boxing is a boxing only gym - pure boxing! At Maxwell's Boxing, expect to be treated with genuine respect. We are Family owned & operated. We value our students as if they're our family members. This translates into a better experience for our students, and most importantly, proper and effective training.

Our venue provides the necessary equipment and training to help the student achieve their goals. Everything at Maxwell's Boxing, equipment and training exercises, are beneficial in the sport of boxing. We train all levels; we train youths, and adults. Our facility is easily accessible from the 805 and 15 freeways.
Services
Maxwell's Boxing is the epitome of "Home Grown". Starting with just a heavy bag & a backyard, we have slowly grown a strong base of students in the art of boxing. Bannana trees, apple trees and guava plants, to name a few plus a toddler playhouse - some items in my backyard - that was the scene. A good friend of mines, Ryan Acain, came to visit and asked about helping with Maxwell's, excited to see growth and visioning the potential.
Plan on arriving 15-20 minutes before your scheduled class time. Once registered, you will be provided with an orientation about our gym and a free 1 hour boxing class. Everyone has been in your shoes as a first-timer so we work as a team to help you enjoy the sport of boxing. There is no need to be intimidated.

If you're serious about boxing, Maxwell is the place to be. What drew me in was their USA Boxing certification, but what kept me here is the community. The coaches and gym goers are respectful and empowering. I am complete novice and never once did I felt like I was in someone way or out of place.

The team and atmosphere is amazing here. I've only gone to their trial class, but I already felt a part of the family community. Alvin, one of the co-owners, was my coach for the session. He was hands-on, helpful, safe, and above all, created a fun space to learn boxing fundamentals. Even those who were more experienced, just working out in the gym, helped us noobs out and offered pointers and feedback. Thank you so much, definitely will be back!

I was new to San Diego and this place made this foreign city feel like home. I love the hard work and dedication all the coaches put into this gym especially Coach Alvin and Sherman. I see these two every time I'm there without fail, and they train their students with so much heart and grit. Even though times are tough right now, they strive to find new and innovative ways for the community to continue to grow and work out. They even offered free virtual boxing classes at the start of the pandemic!

If you're looking for a sense of community and an excellent place to work out and learn

Amazing vibes, friendly people, knowledgeable coaches, and super affordable rates. One of the only “real” boxing gyms in San Diego!

Could not speak more highly of this gym or make a better recommendation for kids and adults wanting to be fighting fit, especially during this pandemic. Coach Sherman and team have always demonstrated upmost consideration and respect for gym members, as well as the entire community, and are doing a great job of creating a safe space and environment for people to achieve their fitness and health goals.

This is a special place. Serious but relaxed, intense but playful, and supportive for all. From just trying to lose weight and deal with stress to training for competitive fights, you can get whatever you want to get out of boxing here. Everyone is supportive, no ego issues, and no one is trying to take anyone's head off (unless that's what you want and you're ready for it -- but everyone here exhibited great self-control and care). I highly recommend Maxwell's to anyone. Quite simply, it's full of great people.

I honestly wasn't expecting much when I first stopped by to get a workout in. But right away l was impressed with the humble familiarity I was greeted with, and after a phenomenal boxing class, genuinely felt like I had found my new home. I was ready to sign up as a member immediately, but was again impressed with the no pressure, welcome back type approach that fits the whole vibe of the place so well. Over the past few years, I've trained at, worked for, and managed several boxing/mma gyms, and Maxwell's easily checked all the boxes for me. The community that continues to grow

We moved to Rancho Bernardo in January and I was searching for a boxing gym close to my new place. I discovered Maxwell's Boxing gym. This was the real thing. Real boxing, not just hitting a punching bag for fitness, but learning how to hit it correctly and most important, the coaches teach you defense. You take everything that you learn and you get to spar with others in class. The coaches are amazing and extremely knowledgeable. The gym monthly membership fee is very reasonable. I am always surprised by how fast the time goes by in class. The other members of the gym are all down to earth

I tend to be attracted to businesses where both the hustle and the heart show. Maxwell's Boxing is just that. Unlike any big franchised brand in the fitness industry, Maxwell's is truly homegrown (if you don't know their story, read up on how they started in a backyard...like for real), passionate about what they do, and the feeling in that gym is like you're part of a family. Students (some still there from the backyard days) work hard, whether in the class environment, or on their own. Rates are lower than most boxing gyms I've seen. In addition to boxing, they've

Being new to the boxing game, Maxwell's Boxing was very welcoming and easy to train/learn with. Coaches are super dope and they have classes going on every weekdays. Depending on ur schedule, they got lots of coaches to choose from. I wish I could stay here longer and learn more from all these coaches. I think I learned a little bit of boxing and experience as well. Thanks to Sherman(owner) and rest of his crew. This place is for everyone.

I joined Maxwell's boxing in late Jan 2018 and it was best decision ever. I came for one of the free nights work outs they offer for people to try it out and... I absolutely fell in love immediately! Besides the fact that Maxwell's offers top notch trainings, has amazing and well-skilled coaches, is he place to truly grow mentally and physically. Their mission and etiquette amazes me every day:
1.Every day/ week there is new schedule with who is teaching what classes, so it is never boring.
2. The classes are well thought where different type of fighters , with different body weights

Been taking my son here for just over a year now... Coach Sherman and staff have delivered nothing but superb coaching! I'm truly impressed by the skill growth and teamwork of all the kids (boys AND GIRLS)! As well as the teen to adult classes! It's really a great environment overall!

Maxwell's is fully equipped for boxing but also has tools and equipment for strength and conditioning (free weights, stationary bike, power rack for bar lifts, etc..)

There's also "Beats & Boxing" nights where the class(es) happen with LIVE DJ's mixing for your audio

100%, I love this gym!

Every coach I've encountered at Maxwell's Boxing is personally invested in each of their members' well-being. For someone like myself that has had memberships at places like, 24 Hour Fitness or Chuze, this is very important. Sometimes its hard to stay on board with staying fit and being healthy, but this place makes me truly want to be at my best. Maxwell's Boxing also provides personal training, not only in boxing. If you have a fitness goal in mind, they have a coach that can help you achieve that goal. I have been working with Coach Ryan Acain for

My 15 year old daughter and I have been taking classes for nearly a year. My daughter always got her best friend to join too. Initially, I thought boxing was for men and didn't think I would see myself doing this long term but I was wrong. The workouts are tough but the more you go, they don't get easier but different with every challenge. I do feel myself having more stamina, endurance, stronger and lean.
I've also found a group of women and men who encourage you to keep going. The coaches are Awesome!!! There are male and female coaches that have different styles of coaching that

What a great welcoming atmosphere. All the coaches are so nice and make you feel welcome. A very challenging workout, both physically and mentally. I am so glad I joined. The price is great. Pay one fee, go as much as you want to.
I would highly recommend joining and see yourself achieve amazing results.
Coach Sherman (owner) is amazing. So encouraging.

Best boxing place in San Diego. Not only do you get a phenomenal workout if you want to lose weight or stay in shape but proper technique, so that you know you are doing it right. Which in turn reduces the possibility of injury. People of all levels workout at the gym so it's not intimidating for the newbie. Not to mention the price is lower than most other gyms.
