Alex

Coach

When and where did you first step into the ring?

My first boxing match was in April of 2015.

What did it feel like the first time you got punched in the face?

The first punch in the face wasn’t bad... the first good liver shot I took is a different story. 

What makes a good boxing coach?

Someone who can suit a class to their athletes’ needs, and who is always willing to learn new things and take feedback from anyone, no matter their level.

What’s your favourite combination?

Any combo which starts up high and finishes to the body — body shots all day! 

What’s on your typical playlist?

Anything from rap, to heavy rock, to French R&B.

What kind of drills can we expect from your class?

Drills that can prepare you for a fight. Whether you want to fight, or just want to train like a boxer, my goal is to help prepare you for the worst and be in the best shape of your life. 

Who’s your favourite boxer?

Vasyl Lomachenko.

How do you think boxing enhances your life or affects other areas of your life?

Boxing taught me how to work harder than I thought possible and be in top shape. When you’re ready for a boxing match you’re also ready to run a race or play a basketball game at high intensity for hours. Some workouts can be mentally challenging and overcoming those sessions, in my opinion, helps you overcome everything in life.
