Why here

A boxing gym,
not a boxing themed gym

Plenty of places hand you gloves and a playlist. Here you learn to actually box, from coaches who competed for a living.

Taught properly from day one

Stance, guard, footwork and defense before anything else. Nobody gets pointed at a bag and left there.

Small enough to be coached

Class sizes stay small enough that your coach knows your name and your jab. That is not possible in a room of forty.

Pro lineage behind every class

Owner Tim Witherspoon Jr. finished his pro career at 10 wins, 5 losses and 1 draw. His father held the world heavyweight title twice.

Inside the gym

Everything under one roof

01

The boxing floor

A full ring, heavy bags, speed bags and open floor space for pad work and combination drilling. Beginner, adult and advanced classes all run here.

Sparring is supervised and skill grouped, with headgear and a mouthpiece required every session. Nobody spars until a coach says they are ready, and many members never do.

The boxing floor
02

The fitness center

Strength training, free weights, rowing machines and exercise bikes in a separate room. Bootcamp and Strength and Strike run here, and members use it during open gym.

Conditioning is what builds the engine behind your punches. Boxing without it runs out of gas in round two.

The fitness center
03

The yoga room

Recovery, mobility and breathwork. Boxing is hard on the body and this is how members keep training for years instead of months.

Similar monthly cost, very different outcome.

Tim Witherspoon Jr.

Owner and head coach
“Our number one mission is that everyone comes here, learns boxing, and brings out their own inner champion.”

Tim retired from professional boxing in 2014 and opened this gym to give Lower Bucks County a place to learn the sport properly. He coaches on the floor, in person, every week.

Two generations of pros

Real ring experience passed down, not read out of a manual.

Beginners welcome

Nobody spars until they are ready, and plenty never do.

Ages six and up

Programs from young children through to amateur competitors.

What Lower Bucks says about us

★★★★★

Been to many boxing rings and gyms over the years, from NY to FL to Philly. This is by far the best one overall. Community based. Black owned. Friendly. Vigorous and structured. Great results, for a reasonable price.

Great place to train and everyone is friendly. Fantastic classes for all fitness levels, and the kids classes are awesome as well. Yoga room, fitness center and boxing area with a ring and heavy bags. First class is free.

I showed up tonight and Coach Tim gave me a great workout. I screwed up and there wasn't even a class. He could have told me to go hit the bag for an hour but didn't. That's a coach. Class act!

Why people drive past closer gyms

Plenty of Lower Bucks gyms have a heavy bag in the corner. Few are run by a professional boxer. Tim Witherspoon Jr. fought professionally with a record of 10 wins, 5 losses and 1 draw, and his father held the world heavyweight title twice. That is the level of instruction behind every class.

What you can train

Opening hours

Monday to Thursday 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Friday and Saturday 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and Sunday 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Early classes start at 6:00 AM on weekdays. The class schedule shows every session this week.

How much training you need
