Rada R.

I’m a boxing and fitness coach with over six years of experience helping clients build their skills, confidence, conditioning, and discipline through boxing. I founded my own coaching business, RANNBO, in 2020 and have worked with athletes and clients of all experience levels. From complete beginners learning how to throw their first punch to experienced athletes looking to sharpen their technique and conditioning.

My coaching experience includes one-on-one training, partner sessions, small-group classes, youth boxing, and fitness-focused boxing programs. I’ve coached both adults and youth, and I’m comfortable adapting my approach to different ages, experience levels, learning styles, and goals.

My background goes beyond simply holding pads. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Exercise & Sport Science from Temple University, which gave me a strong foundation in human movement, exercise programming, strength and conditioning, and athletic performance. I combine that knowledge with years of hands-on boxing experience to make sure my clients understand not only what they're doing, but why they're doing it.

My coaching style emphasizes strong fundamentals, such as stance, footwork, defense, proper punching mechanics, combinations, movement, conditioning, and ring awareness. I also place a major emphasis on confidence and mindset. Whether someone wants to learn how to box, improve their fitness, develop better technique, or simply challenge themselves, my goal is to meet them where they are and help them become a more capable and confident version of themselves.

Most importantly, I want my clients to enjoy training. I take the work seriously, but I create an environment where people can learn, push themselves, make mistakes, and have fun while getting better.

My athletic background is rooted in boxing, where I trained and competed as an amateur fighter. Preparing for and competing in amateur bouts gave me firsthand experience with the discipline, conditioning, technical preparation, and mental toughness required to step into the ring.

My experience as a fighter has had a major influence on the way I coach today. I understand what it feels like to learn the fundamentals, prepare under pressure, push through difficult training sessions, and put those skills to the test in competition.

In addition to my boxing experience, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Exercise & Sport Science from Temple University, where I developed a deeper understanding of human movement, exercise physiology, strength and conditioning, and athletic performance.

Since founding RANNBO in 2020, I’ve been able to combine my experience as an amateur boxer with my education and years of coaching to help others develop their boxing skills, conditioning, confidence, and discipline.

Every session is tailored to the athlete’s experience level, fitness level, and individual goals. Whether you’re putting on gloves for the first time or already have boxing experience, I’ll meet you where you are and build from there.

A typical session begins with a dynamic warm-up and boxing-specific movement to get the body ready to work. From there, we focus on fundamentals such as stance, footwork, balance, punching mechanics, defense, and proper movement. I’m big on building a strong foundation because everything in boxing becomes easier when the fundamentals are right.

As the session progresses, we’ll incorporate shadowboxing, footwork drills, defensive drills, combination work, and mitt/pad work. Depending on the athlete and their goals, I may also incorporate heavy bag work, conditioning circuits, reaction drills, and more advanced offensive and defensive combinations.

During pad work, I’m not just calling out punches. I want my athletes to understand distance, timing, angles, defense, and what should happen after each combination. As you improve, I’ll gradually increase the pace and complexity so you're learning to think and react like a boxer rather than simply memorizing combinations.

Conditioning is also an important part of my sessions. Boxing is physically demanding, so expect to work! I incorporate exercises that develop endurance, explosiveness, coordination, core strength, and overall athleticism.

Most importantly, I want every client to leave the session feeling like they learned something, worked hard, and improved. I’ll challenge you, correct the details, and keep the energy high, but I also want you to enjoy the process. My goal is for you to become fitter, sharper, more confident, and more technically sound every time we train.
