Rob's focus and emphasis is to bring back the "Old School" skills of boxing flexibility training- the same style used by all of the greats but rarely taught today. Students will master blistering punching combos, elusive defense ( rolling, slipping, weaving, parrying punches), graceful foot work while using angles and having the skill to cut off the ring, and precision punching with amazing accuracy/timing.

I am not exaggerating to say this gym, and Rob Pilger, drastically improved my quality of life. Rob has cultivated a culture at the gym that is open, skills-based, and collegial. I have never come across another fighter in the gym who is anything less than supportive of my goals and skills development. Young and old fighters mix. The boxing gym is gritty yet respectful and no-drama; a true melting pot of different races and classes of people. And the trainers are excellent for repetitive teaching of crucial fundamentals. I have always been particularly struck that Rob treats everyone at every skill

Utterly impressed with the friendliness, and just vibe of this gym. Took my son for his first lesson in the kids class and he hasn’t stopped telling me how much he loved it the rest of the evening! The atmosphere is straight out of the old gyms you see in pictures. Staff was fun and welcoming. We will definitely be coming back!

Amazing gym, when you walk in you’re reminded of the boxing gyms in the scenes right out of the movies. Back alley, great traditional and old school equipment as well as styles. Everyone is very helpful and friendly. I’ve only been here 2 months and this place has already become a second home for me.

In my opinion, this is one of the best gyms in Columbus. With good trainers and a sizable free weights room, it is has a great setup for an effective, all-around workout. Hours of operation are generous and outside of the typical work hours. Additionally, they have enough space, bags and equipment that even on busy days enable you to keep on pace with your workout, which is essential for those with a schedule to keep.
The trainers are friendly, experienced and are open to all skill levels. The gym sponsors tournaments and is highly involved with training fighters. That said, it is one of the better

I have been coming here and training with Rob for about 6 months now. I cannot recommend this place more. If you are interested in getting into shape using training methods that really work and want to learn real boxing skills, this is the place to go! I started with basically 0 boxing experience and Rob had the patience to really teach me the foundations and has been building on them since. Whether you are a beginner looking for one-on-one training, group classes, or just a place to practice and spar, you will find everything you need here.

Awesome gym. My son and I looked at several gyms for him to go to and learn to box. I liked Pilger's from the moment I walked in. Rob (the owner) is a solid guy that is actually interested in the people training with him. Everyone at the gym (trainers and people working out) is personable and friendly. This is a great place to go if you are looking to actually learn to box or you are just interested in a great workout and getting in shape. My wife and I trust Rob and the other trainers with our teenage son three nights a week. I think that is the highest praise any parent can give.
