Last night I thoroughly enjoyed working with pads in addition to the sand bags! The specific advice received by the coaches is invaluable, so I definitely was instantly able to integrate the technical improvement at the shadow boxing stations afterwards. I was also very positively amazed about the turn-out and how well your business is doing given this post-pandemic reality for many small businesses (I used to work with SME's). Glad you are so resilient and made a come back! More...

I have been taking private lessons with Chris at Phoenix Boxing Academy for the last 5 years. Chris is committed to providing a challenging and fulfilling training environment. As a former university sport athlete, I truly appreciate Chris' approach to coaching. He is patient, flexible and cares about your progress. This is a fantastic, highly engaging workout that I would recommend to anyone looking for a fun challenge! More...

What a fantastic way to work out, develop skills, and feel great in both body and soul! And Chris is a fabulous coach - I started with no skills at all and I'm getting stronger and better with each round.

Professional, detailed, and fun coaching for everyone! I've been with Phoenix Boxing Academy for 8 years now. I've tried other gyms, but I always come back to PBA for the variety of programs they offer, and their love of the sport/martial art of Boxing, and the care and attention they offer to their members.

Excellent program with engaging, knowledgeable and experienced coaches. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is interested in developing boxing skills or simply just getting a great workout in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.

Excellent place to work on boxing skills and fitness! I've been boxing with them since 2012, and I've been hooked since Day 1. Chris and the other coaches are phenomenal at introducing complete amateurs to the techniques of boxing while also pushing experienced boxers to give more than 100% each time they show up for a session. I also love the variety of boxing skills you learn: skip rope variations, shadow boxing, speed bag styles, and of course, heavy bag combos. It's tough, for sure, but it's a good balance of setting your own goals and then being pushed to hit those goals too. You feel very proud of what you've put in after each week, that's for sure. And the fitness/strength you gain can't be beat. People from absolutely every age and athletic/physical ability come to the gym and leave sweating and satisfied with their workout. Great gym culture, too. Non-judgemental and super supportive - you feel like you've not only accomplished your goals as an individual but also as a group too. Give it a shot! You'll be surprised how much you love it. More...

I started at Phoenix in January 2023 and immediately encouraged my daughter and friends to join because it was such a positive experience. The coaching is professional and second-to-none, the community of coaches and boxers is accepting and encouraging, and the workouts are amazing - while you sweat hard, you don't notice the hour flying by. I had no previous boxing experience when I started, but with the coaches' help, I was able to set goals and develop skills to move from one level to another. Chris also easily made adjustments to exercises at specific stations for me to accommodate a past surgery as well as a shoulder injury that occured during the last round, ensuring that I haven't ever had to sit out of class. The high quality of the PBA programming and coaching and the resulting positive impact of these on both my physical and mental health have made attending class a priority and a pivotal part of my week.

The best workout you can get in an hour. Perfect blend of fitness, strength, and boxing technique training. I have recommended Phoenix Boxing Academy to countless friends and family. Small class sizes means you get lots of time on the various stations and lots of attention from the coaches to help you develop your skills. The charity work PBA does with CHEO is an important and valuable contribution to the community. This is a great organization and and excellent boxing academy. More...

I have been going to Phoenix Boxing for nearly 5 years, and I have had a great and fun workout every time. Using boxing drills in an interval training format makes for a demanding work out that allows you to learn many different boxing skills. From working on the heavy bag to skipping rope (a tough drill!) to producing the fun zipping sound of the speed bag, the work out also features strength exercises and shadow boxing, and it finishes with the stress-releasing punch out! Chris, the owner and head trainer, and all the other coaches will help you every step of the way! I encourage everybody to try Phoenix Boxing!!! More...

The best thing that could have ever happened to me. If you love Boxing and want to get in shape and commit yourself from level I up to VII, this is the place for you. I was a member of the Beaver Boxing Club in the 70s. (2 Years) Had three fights at the Beaver Boxing Club in Ottawa when the Club was situated at Lansdown Park. If you want to keep in shape, learn how to Box and do circuit training with an excellent coach, go to Pheonix. I no longer need to go in the ring, so this is the perfect place. Beaver was an introduction; Pheonix is teaching me how to Box. More...

Chris at Phoenix boxing is an amazing coach and runs an amazing program. If you are looking for a new skill to learn while getting a challenging workout, this is the place. Chris will gradually add more to your regiment as you become more experienced in boxing. No matter what though, you will not be bored, and you will get a good sweat going. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a new sport, new workout, new challenge. Even if you are just thinking about it, just jump in it, it's totally worth it. More...

I was looking for a way to keep up my boxing while in Ottawa for a month. I was very fortunate to find the Phoenix Boxing Academy! It's a top notch boxing school located near downtown. Coach Chris offers rigorous circuit training with clear technical instructions for rookies and vets alike (Levels 1-6). The circuits are challenging and help develop the full range of boxing skills while giving you a tough workout. I saw improvements in my form in just 3 weeks and enjoyed each class. I highly recommend it! More...

I always wanted to get into boxing but I was too nervous about starting out. This gym has been one of the most welcoming and supportive places I have been to and the staff should be so proud of what they have created. From the first day you're in there you feel motivated and ready to work. The workout is pretty intense but you leave feeling great and happy to have gone in. I am very grateful for this boxing gym in the heart of Ottawa. More...

Great idea to sweat fat away by punching bags; it's a good combination of endurance and strength training and you can punch the bag as hard as you like (if you last for an hour). It's also positive encouragement and not boot-camp yell in your face. 5 stars! More...
