    What an amazing program! They are "books before boxing," helping kids to be prepared for life after high school. They provide math and literacy interventions, computer classes, nutrition classes, music classes, a library, and even a coding course to help kids find their pathway to success. And they've even got some national champion boxers who have succeeded in the classroom and in the ring, who serve as role models and mentors for the others. Love this place!

    They are doing great work at this Youth program totally different from any other programs in Detroit. Books before Boxing is their motto, and the kids must work on their homework or with a tutor each day before they are allowed to participate in the boxing program (which is not mandatory). Very worthy of your time and financial donations.

    We can't say enough about the Downtown Boxing Gym's staff! We recently hosted our wedding there (their first ever) and our experience couldn't have been better. Leading up to the event, the staff was incredibly helpful in hosting a walkthrough for us (and our vendors) to get a sense of layout and space planning. They worked with us to customize the spaces that were available to us, so it would work for our needs (including our band in one of the boxing rings - so fun!). By the day we did load-in, the space was spotless and sparkling clean, ready to welcome our loved ones. Their team worked collaboratively with our day-of-wedding coordinator and other vendors seamlessly. We had 225 people in attendance and the space worked wonderfully, with our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all onsite. Our guests were BLOWN AWAY at how cool everything was - we're so grateful to have hosted our event here and can't thank the team enough for making it as easy for us as it was!

    It was bad I went there for a week and left because the training was bad and it a lie that the student are polite they were rude and say offensive jokes they say they teach you about healthy food when they feed you junk food so I switch to dynamite and the training is way better.

    This place is seriously doing some incredible things both academically and athletically for these kids. Every individual I had the chance to meet is extremely kind-hearted and has amazing intentions! Can't wait to watch the continuing growth of this place

    Just got my Tommy Hearns shirt from them and its perfect quality and size. I accidentally ordered the wrong size at first and they immediately refunded me after I told them about it through email. Excellent company I recommend everyone check em out!
