We're completely new to boxing and took two beginner classes -- Intro to Boxing with Ron and Boxing Fundamentals with Miguel. Both instructors were extremely professional, patient, and great at breaking down the basics in a way that was easy to understand. They focused on proper technique, footwork, and fundamentals rather than just giving us a workout, which we really appreciated as beginners. The environment was welcoming and beginner-friendly, and we never felt out of place. If you're just starting out, I highly recommend taking the intro classes here. Just make sure you bring your own gear (gloves, wraps, jumping ropes.) so you can get the most out of the sessions. Great experience overall and we'll definitely be back. read more

1st time boxing and had Miguel as my instructor. He is a great coach!

Gym is clean and all other participants were supportive with the partner work. Looking forward to coming again. read more

I have been going to Melendez Boxing since July 2025 and have had the best experience imaginable. I have been trained by coach Fabian since the day I started and he has provided so much knowledge and he puts so much care and effort into our training sessions. I have seen so much growth in these last few months and Fabian challenges me every time I come in for training so my growth continues. I tried a few boxing gyms in the past more local to where I live and I still choose to make the 30 minute drive to this place 2x every week! If you're willing to put in the effort, I promise you will see amazing results with any of the coaches here. read more

Well, where do I start. Right before the pandemic I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Obviously this meant creating changes to my diet, but also to my body ASAP. With the help of one of my best friends, I was referred to Fabian and it truly has been life changing. I do one-on-one coaching by myself and with a partner, and now Boxing Classes will be added. Not only have I seen my body change, but also my personal habits. This has granted me better physical and mental health. Here are some things to keep in mind: - I prefer the one-on-one training as I prefer a coach that can plan my workouts, deliver specific training for key areas, and with the new knowledge I've gained allow me to do my own workouts while traveling or with friends. - I have seen results and will continue to see better results in the near future. - I do not limit myself to just personal training. He offers boxing classes and that's next on my list of goals. As you may or may not know, boxing workouts can help with body composition, heart health, strength, and helps to lower blood pressure/cholesterol. I honestly can't thank him enough for making me stronger. I feel that working out is now a part of my daily routine and lifestyle. Whether you are a teenager in school trying to get stronger or a 30+ year old like myself trying to get in better shape, I can't stress enough recommending his services. The best part about this is that I have not only gained a good mentor but have met wonderful people he trains that share the same sentiment. We ultimately want the same goal -- a better healthy lifestyle by lifting and boxing. Now with the addition of this NEW gym down the street from my house, it has made it that much easier to continue to choose him. read more

Training with Fabian the past year has really made me view working out differently. He creates a great environment of encouragement and pushes you the right amount. He is very knowledgeable in his field and focuses on everyone's different strengths. I look forward to every training session! Plus he plays good music read more

Fabian helps people feel comfortable with whatever level they're at. He pushes you to do better and helps your form in a gentle and motivating way, something that's really hard to do. I've been to his boxing and weight training class and loved both. The gym is clean, fully stocked, and sleek. I have a new favorite workout spot! read more

Fabian is an amazing trainer with years of experience in boxing and personal training! I've been working with Fabian since April, starting with boxing and then July, he became my personal trainer.

If you believe that the people can improve our lives, you gotta meet this guy! My body has been trashed by decades of binge eating, drinking, and drug use, and Fabian has helped me keep illness at bay with his genuine personality, unconditional positive reinforcement, and grounded structure of exercise. He takes a personal interest in not only physical exercise but also nutrition, wellness, and attitude. His boxing training has helped boost my confidence and ability to deal with life head on. In short, one of the best choices of my life was to seek individual training with Fabian. Don't take my word for it, just go to a class or schedule a session with him. Over a short time you'll feel the change. Do it!!! read more

I've been taking Fabian's classes for 6 years and have been a personal training client for 3 years. These workouts are my foundation for living an effective life professionally and personally. Here are the 3 reasons why I highly recommend Fabian: 1) Variety - the workouts are always challenging and ever changing. Not knowing what we'll do keeps me engaged and helps to avoid a rut. All the 'toys' are available from TRX, bands of all kinds, sleds, med balls and even my own body weight. 2) Motivation - I respect how Fabian can motivate me and others without yelling like a drill sergeant. He motivates through passion for what he's teaching - it's contagious. I've learned technical boxing skills and the analogy between boxing and life. If you can go all out in the ring, crushing that presentation at work should seem easier. 3) Friendship - Fabian is a dear friend and cares deeply about his clients. Contrast this with checking in a big gym where they barely know you. I know Fabian roots for me and his clients and for that I'm grateful. His classes are a community of friends. I look forward to seeing everyone and that always gets me to the gym. I highly recommend Fabian's classes and for personal training. read more

I've never been a fan of going to the gym and I definitely never thought about getting a personal trainer, but after my first few sessions with Fabian I totally understand why people do it! He genuinely loves the sport of boxing and teaches you anything you want to learn as long as you put the effort into it. Custom training and constantly challenging you is what makes you want to come back for more. As a woman, he is also very easy to work with and makes you feel comfortable which is really important. read more

I first met Fabian over 8 years ago, and after every class or personal training session, I am continually reminded of his true talent. His knowledge, experience, energy, respect and love of boxing and training hard is like no other. He trains all levels with the same passion and love for the sport and overall well being of the client or class. I have personally trained in Martial Arts and boxing for over 18 years and to be able to train with Fabian is truly unique. I find my training sessions and group classes to consistently be the most effective and beyond all the most fun! read more

I've been training here for 4 plus years. Through this training, I've lost over 25lbs and kept it off. Workouts are challenging and always uniquely different. The boxing workouts really push you, and challenge you to find that inner strength to finish, and what a feeling when you do! I credit the personal training for improving my physical as well as mental health dramatically Highly recommended! read more

Fabian is an amazing boxing trainer and a great character person. Not only is Fabian a technically skilled boxer who knows how to teach his people the proper form and technique to be a solid boxer, he also effectively communicates why other exercises we perform allow us to be quicker, stronger and more confident in our boxing skill. And he is very effectively at correcting form to get the most out of each motion. Fabian is a trainer, motivator and life coach. Every class is different. But I promise you will learn to be a better boxer, get into fantastic shape and enjoy your experience each time you work out with him. read more

"Never change a winning game". My good health and strong body are a result of the excellent athletic training (for over 6 years) by Fabian. Boxing classes are energy filled, with emphasis placed on proper foundation and techniques. Classes are filled with many levels of experience, ages, and physical abilities. As I enter my 60th year of life I give credit to my coach for keeping me fit for life. read more

I first heard about Fabian and his amazing story on the Hill City catalog. After doing a team workout with him I was very impressed with his coaching skills, technique and amazing energy.
