I'm confused about your program. Is this boxing, fitness, or both?
At the F-15 Training Center, we don't like to use the word "fitness" because our program is so much more than just getting into shape. It's a revolutionary training and athletic conditioning system that's founded in the fundamentals of boxing. If you are a fan of the sport of boxing (or even if you never were! - you soon will be!) and would like to get the basics down, then you're really going to enjoy what we've created here. We like to call it the "F-15 Lifestyle!"

What types of people will I see at the F-15 Training Center?
Men and women of all ages and abilities. We offer something for everybody - from people who simply enjoy variety and crave a mental and physical challenge, to amateur fighters looking to perfect their skills. You'll find women who know that physical power and strength is the foundation for professional and personal power. You'll also meet professional athletes who know a great athletic conditioning system when they see it. What you'll never see are slackers on their cell phones, reading magazines or people standing around looking bored!
We proudly offer special discounts to members of the police force, firefighters, and all first responders. For more information, visit our Program page.

I've never fought anyone or boxed before. Will I fit in okay?
The F-15 Training Method offers something for members of all ages and abilities. The boxing portion of our programs (with the exception of the Pro/Am Fighters) is non-contact. If the idea of taking your aggressions out on the heavy bag or pummeling the speed bag sounds like an exciting alternative to the usual workout, then why not go for it! You're not obligated to anything... and unless you're very advanced AND make the request to spar with someone, you won't ever have to make physical contact with another human being.

I'm pretty serious about the sport. What if I WANT to get into the ring and spar?
Then you should definitely join our F-15 Private Group. Not all F-15 Private Group students choose to get in the ring and spar. However, we can guarantee that if you want to spar - you will. If you have ideas, don't hesitate to talk to us about them! Another option could be to bring friends along who are at the same level of ability and are as committed to the sport as you are. Come on in and advance your boxing skills in the spirit of camaraderie and friendly competition!

Will I need any special equipment to start working out at the F-15 Training Center?
Yes, gel wraps and boxing gloves. You can pick up a pair at good quality local sporting goods store or online. Shortly, we will be carrying a highly recommended and reasonably priced line of products that will include wraps and gloves. We also suggest that you bring a towel and water. We strongly recommend NOT sharing hand wraps or gloves. We do have a water dispensing machine in the gym. If you have any questions, please contact us.
