I train with Big Fred at Le Boxeur and absolutely love it! Fred is an amazingly awesome professional who focuses on training both your body and mind. I would recommend anyone checking it out.

One of my New Years resolution was to try something different in my workout routine. I never thought boxing was for me. Two sessions in and I've been hooked ever since. Such a great workout! My fat is crying (happy tears) from the beginning of the session til the end!! Matt, my trainer is very accommodating, patient, and so awesome!

I worked out with Action for over 2 years. He challenged me harder than I could have challenged myself, and I worked muscles I did not even know I had. As a woman, sparring with a heavy weight boxer may sound intimidating. The rounds are intense but never dangerous; Action is skilled at helping you with your offense and defense without getting a black eye! And you get a solid rotation of different exercises each time. I appreciate that Action kept me on a consistent and regular work out schedule that worked well with my job hours. He has an amazing drive, work ethic, and self-discipline, and he is welcoming of all who want to work up a good sweat.

I have been training at Le Boxeur for over two months now and see no end in sight. I usually get bored with gyms and work outs pretty quickly. This has not been the case for me at Le Boxeur. Since the beginning I have lost over 25Lbs and counting, my endurance has quadrupled, and I have learned a skill in the process. Big Fred is an excellent trainer and you get one on one training here for a class price cost. It's an unbeatable value if you're looking for a REAL workout with REAL results with a personal training atmosphere. I recommend this to anyone wanting to get off the couch and get in shape or to the workout fanatic that's looking for the next "fix." Neither parties will be disappointed.

I have been training with Fred for 2 yrs and it's like therapy for me. I feel great mentally and physically after my sessions. I had no prior mitt training experience but Fred walked me through it and now I can hold my own. Fred Kassi is an awesome trainer and an overall great guy! You won't be disappointed!!!

I have been training for the past 2 months with Matt at the gym. Matt has gone above and beyond with my training. It is good to know that there is a personal level of commitment from the trainers at the gym. The focus is not on just burning calories and getting you into shape, but also on improvement in boxing. I would easily recommend this gym to any and all who are looking to get into boxing.

I've been training with Fred for around 10 months and he has really whipped me in to shape. Learning to box has been very rewarding for me - I always found that I would get bored of the endless repetition of a traditional gym but learning a skill like boxing has kept me engaged and excited to show up and sweat every week. Fred is a fantastic trainer and wonderful guy. Training sessions are solo or with one other person and that personal element means your sessions are individually tailored to your fitness and skill level. I recommend this fully to anyone looking to get into boxing or who wants to try personal training.

Fred is a great trainer and tailors each workout to your abilities and needs. Le Boxeur is a gym that caters to the beginner all the way to the experienced boxer. The facility is comfortable and the staff is very welcoming. Each week I look forward to my training session with Big Fred. I always leave feeling thoroughly exhausted!

Erin Bernhard

Forget Crossfit or your average, run-of-the-mill personal trainer - if you're looking for a serious workout that will have you looking good and feeling great, Le Boxeur is the way to go! I've been a competitive athlete my entire life, but I've never been in better shape than I have in the past three years that I've been training here. Each workout is customized to the individual's ability level, and whether you're on your way to a professional boxing career or have never thrown a punch, Fred provides personalized constructive feedback and an intense cardio and strength-building workout you won't find anywhere else!

Tammy Mercure

Fred is amazing. The workouts are great and mitt training is so much fun. Great place.

Eileen Campbell

I have been training with Fred for almost 3 years. Working with him has been a game changer. He can train anyone at any level and everyone becomes a better boxer-fast. Le Boxeur is not a big box type of gym. Its all about personal goals. Its more than a strenuous physical workout, for me its therapy.

Chris Carnacchio

Been going here for lessons with Fred for a little bit over a year now and absolutely love it! Fred is one of the friendliest guys you'll meet and give you one of the hardest workouts that you can find in the city.

I did my research on boxing gyms, reading reviews and websites, and I will definitely say that I made the BEST choice by selecting Le Boxeur Gym. For the record, I’m from Houston and was visiting NOLA for a week. Additionally, I’m in my mid-40s, not as fit and trim as I once was, and wanted to take private lessons with someone who had years of experience. I’ve had some prior boxing experience, but had been 10+ years. I decided to train with Matt (‘The Coach’) because I wanted to focus on boxing technique, endurance and strength; again, I made the best choice. Matt is one of the most intuitive people I’ve trained with. In about 5 to 10 minutes he knew everything from my personality to my taste in music. He has such a good sense/read of the person he is training, and of what they’re capable, and oh man does he push you without using what I call shame tactics. These are the qualities to look for in a trainer because he will customize based off of your strengths and weaknesses. I trained with Matt for three days only, and while the warm-up was the same, everything the last 50-minutes was a surprise. Training with him makes one realize why boxing is called the “sweet science”; plus he’s super smart, and a good conversationalist. The gym itself is pretty raw, meaning no A/C; however, it has everything you need to box (different types of bags, ring, etc.) and to train in boxing (weighted gloves, dumbbells, etc.). My recommendation is just go and train, with either Matt or Fred. I met Fred, the boxer, who looks intimidating, but is a friendly and approachable guy. I’ve already told a couple of friends who live in NOLA about my experience, and I plan on training here again when I return in October. This is an amazing opportunity (and price) for the training and experience they offer.

Be ready to push yourself when you walk through the door. Big Fred is a great guy and he will make sure that you are put through a rigorous workout; combining cardio, mitt and bag training, and sparring when you are ready to step into the ring. This is legitimate boxing training with a professional boxer and you will get as much out of it as you are willing to put in. I look forward to every single training session.

Fred is amazing. It's a tough workout but I love every minute of it. He'll get you in the best shape of your life.

Darius Pitre

The people at Le Boxeur are truly somewhat hidden gems. The highlight of my Summer has been the training sessions with Matt. He is the manager of Big Fred the boxer you also get to train with. Matt pushes further me each time I go, with something new and more rewarding than before. Both Fred and Matt love training, and so do all of the people who train there. It's a one of a kind atmosphere so definitely give it a try if you think you want a fun way to get in shape or even if you want to get serious about boxing, they have something for everyone.

I've been training with Action for 6 months now and still love it! Action is really friendly and patient and will help you regardless of your experience boxing or working out in general. The gym community is also very friendly and there are lots of regulars that you'll get to know well! I started with absolutely zero experience boxing and I've made noticeable improvements in not only my boxing skills but my overall stamina/health. The better you get, the more Action will push you so you will keep improving. And if you're looking to lose weight, boxing will melt off more pounds than any other activity. Action knows what he's doing and will train you according to your experience while still pushing you to go further. The sessions are usually 30 minutes of cardio (sprints, jumprope, ball shuffle) then 30 minutes of mitt work or sparring. It's a lot of hard work but Action will get you through it and it's a lot of fun! Especially sparring. Just give him a call and he'll set you up with a time. His schedule is flexible.

Le Boxeur is not just any regular go to gym and do group boxing classes it is the real deal. Le Boxeur is all about personalization, I have been training with Mr. Matt for past three months five days a week and all I can can say is that he is gold. I just love this place because Mr. Matt is so flexible, focused and really personalizes my workout according to my needs not only that but also advises me on my nutrition and daily diet, a very knowledgeable man in every aspect of Boxing and physical education. In the end all I can say is that I am a completely changed man than what I was three months back, my mind, body and soul is finally at peace thank you Mr. Matt god bless!!!

I've been working with Matt for a little over a month now and words can't describe how much I respect everything he has done. All aspects of my life have vastly improved since I decided to take up boxing. The folks at Le Boxeur are more than trainers... they quickly become your friends and mentors. Le Boxeur has become a sort of a safe-haven where all my troubles just melt away after an intense workout. If you are serious about getting fit, I cannot say enough in favor of Le Boxeur.

Nice place.

Chris P

Great place to work out. I always try to stop in for a session when I'm visiting New Orleans. If you're traveling to NOLA for work or a vacation I'd definitely recommend scheduling a session. The Le Boxeur team does a great job customizing the workout to your fitness and skill level. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
