at American Boxing is like?



Hi Everyone! Dave here, founder, owner and head coach of American Boxing. We are training! As a full-time single father of a little girl and no family around, closing my doors last year due to Covid was really tough. We even lost our home 😔 I really appreciate everyone that comes and tries a class with us. The goal is to re-open, very soon and WE ARE CLOSE! But we need more people, just like you, to be part of our new family, before we can make that happen 🥊❤️ American Boxing memberships do not make an owner rich or pay for a managers company car, it never has, and we have definitely never had a chandelier in our gym (like some gyms are fortunate to afford). We are a small, local, hard working, family business, that’s all. Your class based memberships, open my doors and keep them open. My personal training clients allow me to provide a roof and food for my daughter. You all matter more than you think. Thank you for considering training with us (Dave and Serenity) at American Boxing in Pacific Beach, San Diego 🙏🏼
American Boxing Muay Thai and Fitness Est. 2003
American Boxing is more than a combat sports gym and definitely more than just a Boxing workout. Men, women and children have tried their very first Boxing and Muay Thai classes with us, since 2003. We have helped shape the San Diego Muay Thai, MMA and Fitness scene, and we are proud to have done so. Located in beautiful Pacific Beach, American Boxing currently offers safe, outdoor, distanced, educational and fitness intensive classes as well as Personal Training in Muay Thai Kickboxing and Western Boxing.
