More About Coach Richard

Are you interesting in learning a new sport or improving your boxing skills? Aspire to be the next world champion or Olympic contender? Come train with a world class boxing coach. I have been involved in boxing for over 35 years and have had over 220 amateur matches and 19 pro matches. An experienced trainer for both youth and adults, I coach all skill levels from people trying to get into shape to professional boxers. I train men and women ages 10 & up in either one on one or group sessions.

I am a retired professional boxer with over 30 years of boxing experience. I am a 3 time Golden Gloves Champion and 4 time Silver Gloves Champion. I boxed at the amateur level in multiple weight classes up to and including welterweight and boxed professionally in junior welterweight and welterweight classes. I boxed on several televised matches and undercards including Cotto v. Bazan in 2002 in Las Vegas. My opponent (Dmitriy Salita) ultimately fought for a world title.

I have coached several individiuals throughout my career including boxers and individuals who want to learn the sport and improve their skills. My coaching philosophy is simple, boxing skill can be taught with proper conditioning, heart, and determination. When training for competition, I focus on speed and technique which, I believe, are the cornerstones of power in most matches.

I enjoy working with individuals who want to improve themselves and pick up a new skill. A typical session will include conditioning and boxing skill development.

In the first session I will evaluate your skills and and set up a program that fits your needs. I will assist you on the speed bag, heavy bag, timing bag, shadow boxing, jump rope, mitts, body conditioning, and other training as needed.

Client Reviews

Coach Richard is amazing. He really knows the sport of boxing.

Great first session

The gym is great. The one on one training is high quality and I feel I am improving as an athlete and boxer. I would recommend this gym to youth or any age adult who wants to get involved with boxing for fitness or competition. With Coach Rich and Coach Nate either way you are getting the best.

Coach Richard is great at what he does. He made my son Marcos feel welcome right away and taught him some key concepts that he hadn't learned before in his first session. He has a friendly, educational and helpful environment at his gym and I highly recommend him.

Outstanding coach and person

Best coach I've been with, works with you to make you a better athlete, and tells you how it is. No sugar-coating. I will keep coming back.

Great coach, very professional and patient.

I had a great training session with richard. I got a great workout and learned a lot about boxing. Looking forward to the next one!

The session was just what I was looking for. I’m tired of doing the same old gym workouts. This session was a great way to do something different while gaining some boxing skills from a legit coach.

Really excited to work with coach Richard. He was very professional and patient. I really liked the focus on technique but the cardio work was excellent as well. Will definitely come back. Thanks, Coach.

Great coach! Taught me a lot within the first class and had a lot of fun.

Excellent Coach. I would recommend to anyone looking to learn how to box.

Coach Richard is a great Coach and a person! He will make sure to help you with you technique, point out your strengths and weaknesses, and will work with you to improve your skills to the best of his abilities. I’m truly blessed to have him as my Coach, and would recommend to anyone!

Coach Richard was a awesome coach! Working with him was a tremendously gift from god. His training & techniques really gets the job done - definitely a 10 + He’s really a down to earth type of guy... very supportive and gives feedback. He really is a partner in mylife... Thank You so much! Yes, he’s a 5 star coach I truly recommend...

If you're looking to learn real boxing, I highly recommend Coach Rich. Like the other reviews said, he really is patient so don't be afraid to ask if you don't understand something which really puts a beginner female like me at ease. Not only are his sessions a good workout but it also teaches self defense since he teaches proper techniques on how to block and throw punches and I'm sure if you wanted to fight in competitions, he'll get you up there.

Coach Richard is one of the best coaches I’ve ever had. He is very good at emailing and contacting his clients back. Moving here from Boston has been very hard for me. And boxing is one of the things I missed doing everyday. I found coach Richard through my coach up account and emailed him. Although I hesitated a bit, I reached out to him anyway. Within a couple of hours he emailed me back and I immediately knew he was the coach for me. He is beyond knowledgeable about the sport of boxing. He motivates and inspires me to push myself but he doesn’t push too far. He takes the time and puts his clients through a circuit to see your intensity level. He is very professional and tough but he also shows compassion. He doesn’t put you down or make you feel bad about yourself when you need to cancel. He understands the importance of resting your body. I would recommend coach Richard to everyone who has a passion for boxing as a professional or someone who just wants to stay in shape. If you are thinking about taking up boxing, coach Richard is the guy for you. Even if you have doubts or are unsure if boxing is for you, give it a try. You won’t be disappointed!!

Coach Richard was great!. He clearly knows the sport and he is a very patient coach , easy to learn from. I got a good assessment and i practiced some of the basics things - rope , mitts and bag - . I recommend everyone to sign up for a lesson with him!

Coach Richard is a great coach. I’m not your average boxing type. I’m your average grandma type 😂 I’ve never sweat so much and never felt so good about a workout. I love that it is all about really learning how to box and I’m so glad I didn’t end up in a health club taking “kickboxing” classes with my daughters. Coach Richard is the real deal.

Highly recommend

Coach Richard was an outstanding coach! He shows the proper techniques, and is really easy to learn from, from how he explains drills! I recommend everyone to sign up for a lesson with him!

Coach Richard was great! Really enjoyed the session. Learned some of the basics while getting a good workout in!

I would definitely recommend coach Rich to anyone. He is knowledgeable and attentive !

Coach Richard was a great coach and after our session, my son was already asking when can we come back! He has a great calm positive approach with the kids and is extremely knowledgable in his teaching. We have already signed up for more sessions and are looking forward to learning more. I highly recommend Coach Richard!

Had a great session with Richard. I've only trained once with Richard but he explained all the minor details of boxing and was really patient through out the session. I would highly recommend Richard to any newbie like myself looking to learn the sport of boxing.

Coach Richard is a great coach, really knows what he is doing. He can take you to the next level

Coach Richard Lox is excellent with kids. He took the time to explain how and why with everything. My boys were very inexperienced, he was very understanding and informative. I would defiantly recommend him as a coach!

Coach Richard is great i really enjoyed training with him! He was very nice and seemed very knowledgeable i really look forward to working with him again.

Coach Richard is one of the best coaches I have ever enrolled my son in with. He has great patience and I feel very confident about my sons success growth rate with him.. I highly recommend him for anyone who is in need of a coach.

Rich did great at teaching me the boxing basics and helping me with my technique! Definitely would recommend.

I learned far more about the sport of boxing in my first lesson than I expected, and I can say that he has helped me improve tremendously since.

Richard is great. He has a great talent for coaching. He definitely knows what he is teaching and has great techniques and a great setup. I was blown away by how much he was able to cover in the first session.
