More About Coach Albert
At the age of eight, I began my boxing journey by lacing up my first pair of gloves. Nineteen years later, I transitioned into coaching, where an unexpected opportunity would shape the course of my career. I began working with a professional boxer who held a challenging 3–4 record. Against the odds, we rebuilt his career together, going on a remarkable 13-fight winning streak. He retired with a respected 16–4 professional record and a state title, marking the beginning of my coaching career and igniting a passion for building champions both inside and outside the ring.
My business initially grew through strong relationships with members of law enforcement, who became my first clients. As demand increased, I expanded my services to their families and eventually to the public. Nearly three decades later, I am proud to have helped develop 19 National, International, and World Amateur Champions, with seven athletes advancing to the professional ranks and three earning championship titles. Our journey has included Olympic representation for both the United States and Mexico, collaborations with organizations such as Law Enforcement and the United States Marshals Service, and helping individuals from all walks of life pursue healthier, more disciplined lifestyles through authentic boxing training and fitness.
Among my recent accomplishments is mentoring undefeated professional boxer Daniel “Chucky” Barrera, who currently holds a 10–0 professional record. Before turning professional, Barrera was a five-time National Amateur Champion and the No. 1 ranked amateur boxer in the United States for five consecutive years. Although selected for the 2020 Olympic team and widely expected to compete in the 2024 Olympics, he ultimately chose to pursue his professional career following the challenges created by the COVID era. He concluded his amateur career with over 100 amateur bouts, only three losses, five National Championship titles, and four Gold Medal victories.
Throughout my coaching career, I have had the privilege of developing athletes who have competed and succeeded at the highest levels of amateur and professional boxing. Our program has produced 19 National, International, and World Amateur Champions, along with multiple professional champions who have gone on to earn major titles and recognition within the sport.
Our athletes have represented both the United States and Mexico on the Olympic stage, reflecting the high level of competition and dedication within our program. Among these accomplishments includes coaching the No. 1 ranked amateur boxer in the United States for five consecutive years, a four-time gold medalist, and a 2020 Olympic hopeful who later transitioned successfully into the professional ranks.
At the professional level, our team has produced two WBC Champions and one IBF USBA Champion, while continuing to mentor athletes competing at elite national and international levels. These achievements reflect decades of commitment to authentic boxing instruction, athlete development, and long-term success in the sport.
Every individual comes to me with unique goals, expectations, and challenges. Following a detailed consultation, I develop a personalized training program specifically tailored to each client’s needs and objectives. One of the most important aspects of my coaching philosophy is maintaining honest and realistic expectations. If I believe a client’s desired outcome cannot be achieved within their available schedule or level of commitment, I communicate that openly and professionally from the beginning. I am committed to working only with individuals I genuinely believe I can help succeed.
My coaching extends far beyond boxing instruction alone. In addition to technical boxing development, I provide guidance in nutrition, weight management, conditioning, and overall fitness. Whether the goal is improving footwork, sharpening combination punching, increasing speed and athleticism, building confidence, or enhancing overall physical conditioning, I create structured programs designed to help clients maximize their potential. Success ultimately comes from consistency, discipline, and a willingness to invest the necessary time and effort into the process.

The bar is set very high, if you are looking for a knowledgeable, personable and professional coach, Coach Al Franco is it! He will keep you sharp and focused on the fundamentals until it is like breathing.
Cesar (CoachUp client)
Coach Albert indeed is a master of his trade. Walked in to gym and as soon as I walked in was very welcoming and safe environment. I always wanted to do this but was always embarrassed because of my age and 0 experience. I ought to say coach Albert walked me through the process of the session. I felt very comfortable with him despite my lack of knowledge in the sport. I walked out with a whole lot of respect for the sport and with the excitement to return to my next session. Will definitely book many more sessions for as long as he’s around. Highly recommend him to anyone who would like to experience a great physical and mental work out!!!

Since I started at the gym, I’ve made constant progress and have learned new skills every time I go in for a session. The type of training that Coach Al provides has influenced me to want to become a professional boxer. Coach Al excels in providing constructive criticism to correct form and perfecting skills. In my experience, and as a veteran, this boxing gym and coach are the epitome of perfecting your skills and challenging yourself. I know that I have learned very quickly because of Coach Al and his team. I know that you will too become something bigger than yourself in Warzone Boxing Club.

I’ve been coming here for about two years now and when I first came in I haven’t realized how terrible I was skill wise. Coach Al made sure that I was taken care of and showed me way more than I expected. All of the coaches here are pros and they’re very patient with the people. I came in here 2 years ago fighting like a amateur and now I’m fighting like a pro at the elite amateur level. This is by far the best boxing gym I’ve ever been to and forsure the best boxing gym in the inland empire, come check it out !

Khali Kid - Google (Testimonial)
Came in for a free trial and loved this place immediately. Coach Al is extremely knowledgeable and his entire crew is welcoming. I have been in boxing since the time i was able to spell the word and have worked with many coaches throughout my military boxing career into my amateur boxing career. All I can say is that I wish I would have found coach al when I was young. I may have gone further maybe even professionally. I recommend this place to anyone whose looking for a real experienced training facility. Military and law enforcement friendly as well.
G T Google Review (Testimonial)
Awesome place with a talented and knowledge staff. Coach Al is an amazing teacher and genuine guy. They know how to push you where you need to go, and you’ll be amazed at what you learn and how you feel after a few weeks. It WONT be easy but it will be worth it.
Best World - Google Review (Testimonial)
Been training here for only 3 or so months right now and let me tell you it is the real deal. Coach Al and the team here has really helped me significantly improve my fitness, conditioning, boxing skills, and most importantly my mental fortitude. Personally, it was a bit difficult for me to find a boxing gym that is REALLY trying to teach you to box since nowadays there are so many boxing for only fitness gyms. Whether your goal is to compete at the highest levels, learn how to defend yourself, or just get in the best shape of your life Coach Al and the team at Warzone Boxing Club will all help you reach your goals. Take it from someone who has bounced around gym after gym and has a hard time trusting a coach.
