Ive been taking womens boxing classes for about a year now! And I only wished I started earlier. Ive never taken classes before and in just a year I have learned a lot because of our trainers. Shelly & Ewan are the best.

Love this place! I love taking Richs boxing classes. I especially love going to Shellys boxing classes. I love the fact that she works at whatever level your at. This is a small business with a big heart. You can feel this when you walk in the doors.I highly recommend this business to anyone who wants to take boxing classes.

Ive been coming to this gym for 6 months, and Coach Rich is amazing to say the least. 6 months ago, I didnt think that Id be enduring the conditioning that Ive done, or even sparring! Take this awesome opportunity to change your life, and feel better about yourself!

A growing gym offering boxing, muay thai, and MMA. With the old school aesthetics and a welcoming, inclusive community, you would be hard pressed to beat the value Northside offers. Rich runs a great program and is super-passionate about martial arts, self-defense, and providing a venue where anyone can workout and pursue their goals, whether its fighting or fitness. If you decide on personal training, the coaches here are top notch: detail-oriented and willing to work hard for you if you work hard (including Oscar, Shelly and Ewan for boxing. Ive heard nothing but good things about the MMA and fitness trainers too). Ive personally have been taking individual training with Shelly and Ewan and with their attention to detail, positive attitude, enthusiasm and communication to go along with their technical know-how and vast experience, my progress has been amazing! Definitely give this gym a shot!

I love this gym. They have everything you could think of to train with. The coaches and trainers are for real. Some of them still compete!!!! 🥊Wow!! Now that’s motivation. Let’s not forget about the staff. I’ve never seen a frown on anyone’s face. Lol. And they work hard on keeping that place sanitized and clean for us. Thank you. Much appreciated.❤️❤️❤️ And it’s LGBTQ+ Friendly. 🌈🌈. I would give this place a 👍👍. Definitely worth checking out.

6 months ago I walked in to meet coach Rich about learning how to box and have stayed consistent for the first time ever in my life. Best decision I ever stuck with. Above all - the BEST thing about coach Rich & his program is that he’s created an encouraging & non-intimidating environment for a woman in a male saturated sport. Not only does he take the time and patience to build you from the ground up, but he pushes and encourages you to be the best version of yourself you can be. He always makes sure to let you know that you’re doing better, and keep you encouraged not to quit.I’ve never seen a program like this, and I only wish I had started it years sooner. The atmosphere is fun, the people are friendly, but be ready to break a sweat! If you know nothing about boxing and always wanted to learn, this is the BEST place to start your journey!

Easily the best boxing gym in the city! Rich pretty much lives there, is always friendly, and willing to help you improve. I’m absolutely positive that you won’t find a more welcoming environment. Plus, the monthly cost is more than reasonable, especially, because there are classes 7 days a week!

Probably the best boxing gym in Illinois to be honest

The true experience of a boxing gym with great staff and friendly people all around!

Loved working out with Rich. As a guy who hasnt worked out much in the past, Rich was able to tailor my workout to be challenging, but attainable. Ive tried other coaches and trainers before, but never stuck with the program. With Rich, Ive been at it for several months now and I STILL look forward to the sessions.Dont be afraid to be honest with him about your current condition and where you want to get. He knows his stuff and will do everything possible to help you achieve your goals. Cant say enough positive things about him and his gym.

Rich is an excellent, knowledgeable, and devoted coach. Whether your goal is to enter the ring one day or to just get a focused, high intensity workout, Northside Boxing is an empowering environment. The workouts are dynamic and varied class to class, but I always feel my technique progressing regardless of the movements or exercises we go through.

Rich is a great motivator and works with all levels. Youll get a good workout, and pick up some boxing skills at the same time. Lots of individual instruction, too. Highly recommended!

Best boxing club in the Chicagoland area! Hard + honest work, no bugee-fitness fake boxing coaches here. MMA program starting soon, two thumbs up!!

Wonderful gym with a terrific instructor. Rich can take you from the basics, up to advanced. He pushes clients without resorting to insults, and youll see results!

This guy is the real deal and the best in town. Very knowledgeable boxing and lifting coach.
