What Gym Members Are Saying

Mad House Boxing is a great place to train and learn!! Working with Coach Jermaine has not only made me a better technical boxer, but also a more intelligent one. I always look forward to training, it’s an awesome work out and I always walk away with better technique and increased knowledge every time.

Jamie G Member

I'm new to boxing, and I've had a great experience with Jermaine, the other coaches and fellow boxers of all levels. I'd recommend MadHouse to anyone interested in the sport of boxing. I've become such a fan that after a year of weekly training, I've registered to become an apprentice boxing judge with USA Boxing!!

Bruce Smith Member
