Reviews of Portland City Boxing (Gym)

Nini Le

The facility was clean, with a wide variety of equipment and class options. I initially liked it very much. Staff were friendly, and there were initially options for all skill levels. After about 2 months, the classes started to get disorganized, time changes without updating the website but posted on facebook. Then the Instructors time slots were moved around and became inconvenient times. This boxing gym (although offered kids classes) didn't feel like it was accommodating for beginner boxers. Due to the reasons above in addition to the location being across from a shelter, I decided to cancel. I turn in the access card, but was charged an additional 2 months after my card was submitted. There was some confusion in the cancellation process, and I had to follow up several times to confirm the account was really closed. I don't mind paying the additional month's fee for my early termination, but I do mind paying 2 additional months after my access card was taken from me. They are a nice "mom n' pop' gym, with that friendly feel, but I have little trust is their management of my account and ability to communicate terms and conditions.

I have never worked out there but I am the security guard at front desk. And all the guys there are very nice.

Tim Tankard

Great space, trainers and reasonable prices.

Chris Shaver

My time spent at PCB gym was 100% worth it and I got the best workout I have anywhere else. I am also a member of the Mac Club and I prefer the workout with many different experienced trainers and fighters. I've learned more in 3 days then I have in a month at any other boxing gym I've been to and for very similiar or lower prices then the rest. Anyways, I'm actually heading to the gym right now but anyone reading this should definitely drop by sometime and see what it's really about. Anyone looking for a fun successful workout and great fighting experience should stop by and say hi sometime. Thanks!

I just got done checking this place out, first time in a boxing gym. The front desk was very friendly to me, and answered all my many questions. Coach Johnny took time to meet with me and was respectfully towards me, not a puffed up chest kind of guy, but a serious boxing coach. I recommend checking this place out!

BEWARE....when you leave you will continue to get charged (3 months for me) and will be chasing down the Manager to get it resolved. I am not the only one this is happening to, and this needs to get taken care to avoid looking like a shady operation. I will update this review once resolved. I have left another message, hoping today is the day.

Rip off and shady business practice. I was trying to cancel my membership for 3 months with no luck or return phone calls. Bumbs all around the gym and bad parking which cost money every time. Coaches didnt work with me at all the whole time. I wouldnt recommend this gym.

Dan Wald

Great one on one personal training in the sport of boxing. Personal attention combined with decades of experience lend itself to a great workout and learning new techniques. Your waist-line will shrink while your confidence grows.

I have been a member of this gym since it opened on Glisan almost 3 years ago. It is the best gym I have ever been to and the people that run it really care. If you are new they help you get started at any level. Always kind. Coach Tommy is an amazing instructor.

Small class sizes and great trainer. Jeremy is awesome.

Warren Frank

From London, England. Visiting Portland, Oregon for a few days. New to boxing. Owner Jeremy (ex-army) was super nice, approachable and informative. Tommy (Coach) has a real passion for boxing and was very patient with me, knowledgeable and super nice too but don't let that fool you. They make you work really, really hard to achieve maximum results! A solid, proper gym for those who would like to start of in boxing (basic) to more advanced boxing/sparring. Fantastic boxing gym with an old school vibe built for everyone of all ages and levels of fitness! Warren

I love this gym, especially working out with Johnny! I have had such a wonderful experience and been in the best shape of my life working out here. I would encourage anyone who is curious to at least drop in for a class—it is definitely worth your time.

Found this place on Class Pass and signed up for a regular membership. Great facility for experts and beginners (I'm a beginner). Lots of street parking and a fun way to work out vs standard cardio and weights at other gyms. If you don't have wraps or gloves you can borrow or buy some here too.I Highly recommend!

Modern training with the old school boxing gym feel. Can’t say enough great things about PCB and their training staff that has legit ring experience. If you are looking for a great boxing gym, great gym members, great group and private workouts, great knowledgeable staff & awesomely low membership fees then make PCB your home. I started at PCB about 4 months ago and have not regretted it. You will feel at ease at and welcomed from the moment you walk in.

Mikhail Govshievich

The owner likes to rip people off and play stupid. He did this with many people and has no integrity. I do not recommend this gym to anyone.

Eric Connors

This place is great. I transitioned over from CrossFit and now prefer boxing when I’m training. The personal training is a great way to get your technical abilities shaped up for the daily classes offered. You can’t beat the price here for what they offer. Don’t forget to get your yoga in on Sunday's, that class is also top shelf. I recommend this gym to anyone who has been hurt doing cross fit or hates paying 150 dollars a month for just yoga. I train with JulieAnne and Chris and they are both brilliant teachers. I’m a has been college athlete trying to maintain my fitness and Portland City Boxing is a fun interactive way to get fit and learn new skills.

I have trained and checked out several boxing/combat sport gyms over the years and Portland City Boxing has been my favorite out of them all. I've been more consistent here than anywhere else. The gym offers a good variety of classes, ranging from conditioning to the more technical side of boxing. Theres even an amateur boxing team for those who are looking to compete or get some rounds in sparring. I've done a lot of work with Johnny who has taught me a ton and always helpful when it comes to advice and tips. I havent met anyone with any ego and most people in the gym are super helpful and friendly. All the coaches are also super helpful and knowledgable and each of their classes focus on different things which is nice for variety. The gym is super reasonable in comparison to other specialty gyms and the best part is you dont have to get locked into a contract if you dont want. I highly recommend anyone to check out this gym.
