The best gym I have ever trained at. Huge facility complete with punching bags, boxing ring, hundreds of square feet of Fuji mats, and no-commitment payment and training options.

Northside boxing is a different type of boxing gym. It is difficult for many gyms to balance the interests of serious competitors and those pursuing the sport for health and fitness rather than competition. Northside finds this balance. Northside supports fighters and competitors both independent and in connection with collegiate clubs like DePaul, while also providing for the everyday class taker. Their classes are well run and genuinely fun, thanks to their great coaches. They will also challenge you mentally and physically while teaching the great sport of boxing (what is taught in the classes is real boxing not fitness or cardiobox). You always know what you’re getting a Northside with clear schedules and honest communication and pricing. The best part has to be the community. The coaches treat everyone with respect and help them pursue their individual goals.

The Best Gym for Northsiders.

Northside was my second home while living in Chicago but eventually I had to move out of state. The culture, camaraderie, and sense of community Northside possess is like no other. Started with a trial boxing class and was hooked right away.
There are multiple boxing classes throughout the day for all levels/ages/gender, led by knowledgeable coaches with fighting experience and each coaches have their unique style of teaching. There’s also a beginner and advanced sparring class that is facilitated by USA Boxing approved coaches. After half a year of training, I competed and won in my first amateur boxing match at Northside under a charity event/show held by the owner of the gym, Rich.

There’s also weight lifting, powerlifting, and Muay Thai classes. The gym’s coaches also offers personal training sessions. 10/10 would recommend. I’ve created memories and friendships that have reached beyond the walls of the gym. Thanks again, Northside fam!!

Great gym! I participate in the group strength training classes and look forward to every session. Alex is an excellent coach and has guided me to many personal records across all lifts. Everyone in class is friendly and wants you to succeed. Beyond lifting, Rich and the boxers are great people and it's a fun atmosphere overall!

Great gym with great coaches. Everyone is knowledgeable and interested in helping you do better and train harder. Northside boxing is generating an awesome community.

The group classes are great and for all levels. The coaches are always willing to help and provide tips as long as you’re willing to ask the questions and put in some work. They also offer dedicated sparring time slots for boxing.

They have weight lifting classes and groups too. This gym has a bit of everything and the community is really welcoming.

Having tried a few different boxing gyms pre and post pandemic Northside Boxing has been easily the best experience out of all of them.

Rich is a solid straight-forward dude. The coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, and are invested in your improvement. The classes are solid. And a huge plus, regular sparring classes, if that's what you're looking for.

It's a solid community hub. Come check out the nights they host fights. Drop in for a class. Get busy! ((don't forget to bring your own stuff))
