  I did my research on boxing gyms, reading reviews and websites, and I will definitely say that I made the BEST choice by selecting Le Boxeur Gym. For the record, I’m from Houston and was visiting NOLA for a week. Additionally, I’m in my mid-40s, not as fit and trim as I once was, and wanted to take private lessons with someone who had years of experience. I’ve had some prior boxing experience, but had been 10+ years. I decided to train with Matt (‘The Coach’) because I wanted to focus on boxing technique, endurance and strength; again, I made the best choice. Matt is one of the most intuitive people I’ve trained with. In about 5 to 10 minutes he knew everything from my personality to my taste in music. He has such a good sense/read of the person he is training, and of what they’re capable, and oh man does he push you without using what I call shame tactics. These are the qualities to look for in a trainer because he will customize based off of your strengths and weaknesses. I trained with Matt for three days only, and while the warm-up was the same, everything the last 50-minutes was a surprise. Training with him makes one realize why boxing is called the “sweet science”; plus he’s super smart, and a good conversationalist. The gym itself is pretty raw, meaning no A/C; however, it has everything you need to box (different types of bags, ring, etc.) and to train in boxing (weighted gloves, dumbbells, etc.). My recommendation is just go and train, with either Matt or Fred. I met Fred, the boxer, who looks intimidating, but is a friendly and approachable guy. I’ve already told a couple of friends who live in NOLA about my experience, and I plan on training here again when I return in October. This is an amazing opportunity (and price) for the training and experience they offer.

  I've been working with Matt for a little over a month now and words can't describe how much I respect everything he has done. All aspects of my life have vastly improved since I decided to take up boxing. The folks at Le Boxeur are more than trainers... they quickly become your friends and mentors. Le Boxeur has become a sort of a safe-haven where all my troubles just melt away after an intense workout. If you are serious about getting fit, I cannot say enough in favor of Le Boxeur.

  I have been training for the past 2 months with Matt at the gym. Matt has gone above and beyond with my training. It is good to know that there is a personal level of commitment from the trainers at the gym. The focus is not on just burning calories and getting you into shape, but also on improvement in boxing. I would easily recommend this gym to any and all who are looking to get into boxing.

  Le Boxeur is not just any regular go to gym and do group boxing classes it is the real deal. Le Boxeur is all about personalization, I have been training with Mr. Matt for past three months five days a week and all I can can say is that he is gold. I just love this place because Mr. Matt is so flexible, focused and really personalizes my workout according to my needs not only that but also advises me on my nutrition and daily diet, a very knowledgeable man in every aspect of Boxing and physical education. In the end all I can say is that I am a completely changed man than what I was three months back, my mind, body and soul is finally at peace thank you Mr. Matt god bless!!!
