City of Angels Boxing: Not the only boxing gym in L.A., only the best boxing gym in L.A.!

City of Angels Boxing provides an unparalleled boxing experience. All of our classes (boxing workouts) are for all boxing and fitness levels and are the same workouts that our instructors, former or active fighters themselves do to achieve maximum results in 1-hour workouts. We focus on all the main aspects of a fighter’s training: technique, speed, strengthening, endurance.

***Starting January 3rd, City of Angels Boxing is excited to offer a new 6:00 AM–7:00 AM class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays!***

Meet Alex Brenes: Instructor

Alex Brenes began boxing instruction for everyday people in Miami in 1998. He introduced his workouts to Los Angeles in 2011, opened City of Angels Boxing in 2012 and continued with virtual workouts during COVID.

9 years of amateur boxing in Costa Rica, winner of 2 amateur National Championships. Former member of the pre-Olympic amateur boxing team 1995. Winner of the 1998 Golden Gloves novice division in the United States. Turned pro in 1999, retired in 2010 with a record of 7 wins, 7 losses, 3 draws. Has been teaching boxing to fitness enthusiast and fighters for over 26 years.

Alex’s passion for teaching started in his 1st month of amateur training in the United States, before turning pro. He was asked, by the gym owner, if he could teach a boxing class. He declined and said, “I’m a fighter, not a teacher, if they want to follow what I’m doing, they’re more than welcome” and that’s how “teaching” for Alex began. He taught for over 12 years in Miami before moving to Los Angeles to open a 6-month pop up gym with a dear friend. That 6 months turned into 16 months and when the pop up was over, he loved Los Angeles and its people. City of Angels Boxing was born in 2012, with the goal of sharing his love of boxing with the city of Los Angeles and beyond. He has shared his joy of boxing with thousands of participants and reached the world with the iconic aesthetics of the gym that have been a part of music videos, television series, movies, as well as advertisement for renowned brands. The COVID pandemic forced us to shut our doors for almost 3 years, in which time, only online classes kept the fire going. As soon as it was safe to re-open, the hunt was on for a new location. It was long and tedious until we found the perfect spot, a few blocks away from our previous location, bigger and better! The story continues…stay tuned!!!
