Great coach

Great teaching style and fun to work with. Definitely recommend.

World class coach and first class human being. Everyone in the world can learn something from Coach Art. I can't recommend him enough.

Coach Art is amazing. Very patient and knowledgeable and was able to diagnose my level and cater to it accordingly in our first session - will certainly be booking more!

One session with Coach Art, and I was sold! From the beginning, his workout was engaging, challenging, and a whole lot of fun! I've studied with other private coaches in the past, and I can say with confidence that my first session with Art and the process of learning each other's style and rhythm for mitt-work and combinations, it was the most seamless and it helped me feel right back at home when I came back to the sport. Art is incredibly talented and encouraging, and I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to train and to learn from him. An absolutely wonderful coach!

Great coach!

It's clear that Art is an exceptional coach who brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to his training sessions. His ability to break down complex movements and techniques into simple, easy-to-understand steps is a testament to his skill as a coach.

Art's focus on proper technique is particularly impressive. He understands that good technique is essential to boxing success, and he is committed to helping me master the fundamentals first. Whether it's working on striking, or defensive maneuvers, Art takes a patient and methodical approach to coaching that allows his students to progress at their own pace. I particular enjoyed the quizzes he throws into the training program!

Beyond his technical expertise, Art is also a wonderful motivator and very inspirational. His positive attitude and infectious energy create a welcoming and supportive training environment that encourages myself and people around me to push themselves to their limits. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or a beginner just starting out, Art has a way of making you feel like a champion. Thank you Art and I look forward to our next session.

Overall, I would highly recommend Art Jimmerson as a boxing coach to anyone looking to develop their skills as a boxer. His dedication, expertise, and passion for the sport make him an exceptional coach who is sure to help you achieve your goals in the ring.

Just met coach art, and the experience was better then I could’ve imagined, amazing coach and I can’t wait for the future.

I had the privilege of training with Coach Art and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. From the very first session, Coach Art displayed a wealth of knowledge and passion for boxing. He tailored my session to my specific needs and skill level, constantly pushing me to improve while still making the experience enjoyable. The training sessions were intense but Coach Art always found a way to make them fun and engaging.

I highly recommend Coach Art to anyone looking to improve their boxing skills, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned fighter. He is truly one of the best in the business and I am grateful for the time I spent training with him.

My wife and I train with Coach Art, a former pro with a long storied boxing career! He is a seriously kind and encouraging coach, while pushing you towards where you want to be, whether you want to learn to fight, do it for cardio, or just have fun. He adapts to suit you. In the first two lessons for two people at once, we've went over quick boxing philosophy, basic punches, defenses, seven five-punch head-body combinations, even a couple counters! Even splitting the session between my wife and me, I still get quite a bit of cardio in. Looking forward to keep learning the science of boxing, and learn how to hit and not get hit with Coach Art!

Art is truly a nice guy and someone I recommend highly to work with you or your children!

What a great experience. Thank you. I will get back in a month. I’m going out of town

Coach Art was awesome during my first session! I'll be training with him again and I'm looking forward to it. I'm a beginner and already feel like I made a ton of progress in just one hour with Art. He's also a really nice and funny guy and makes the session super enjoyable.

Coach Art is truly amazing. It goes without saying that he's a master of his craft, you don't really find people with a resume like his to train you, that alone is amazing. What makes Art even more amazing is his personality, he's a very fun guy to be around. Positive guy all around really cares about you and tries to help you reach the goal you and him have in mind. Long story short this man is a gem!

Top notch trainer! Our session was everything I wanted and more!

Coach Art, is hands down, the best of the best. I’ve had 2 different boxing coaches in the past 3 years, and he makes boxing fun! When we get ready to do abs at the end of our session, I think to myself, “Dang, it’s over already?!” And l can’t wait for the next morning to see him! It’s tough; you will be sore, but it’s sooo worth it!

Coach Jimmerson is a very good coach. Highly recommended!

Great Coach!!! Learning a lot fast.

There's a big difference between "boxercise" and boxing training. Art Jimmerson is a former, very successful, professional fighter who trains his clients with the rigorous training that is both fun and highly effective exercise. If you are lucky enough to train with Art you will get in shape and have a ton of fun with a great guy.
When I signed up for a boxing class at the UFC gym I thought it would be more like a boxercise class, but Art actually taught me/us how to box. He is very discipline and taught everything from the correct way to put on hand wraps, boxing gloves, combinations, how to stand correctly and how to, his words 'hit and not get hit' and so much more. I had no idea that the class would be such a workout but I really enjoyed my lessons with Art.
Art is a great boxing instructor. His techniques of teaching is so thorough and precise. He teaches a lot of pro-material. I feel blessed to have a trainer that was a World Class Professional Fighter. He's the best!
