From the reviews
I started training with Dan about 4 years ago. I’m just a family man who likes to stay fit and used to be an athlete, so having something competitive again has been huge for me. This is honestly one of the best workouts you can get, and it keeps that competitive spirit alive.
Coach Dan is an amazing coach, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a positive, dedicated, and knowledgeable boxing coach. My daughter has been training with him for several years, and the growth we’ve seen in her confidence, discipline, and skills has been incredible.
I've been working with Dan Bolger for about a year and a half. He helped me get ready for my first fight in the summer of 2025. Working with him has been great for me physically and mentally. Dan can coach and motivate you as far as you want to go.
Through a friend I was given the opportunity to work with Dan. I never boxed before; and I consider myself somewhat of an athlete. After the first session, I was hooked. Dan focuses on fundamentals and he TRULY supports you to achieve YOUR goals.
New to kickboxing? Start at Bolger Boxing
Bolger Boxing comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Bolger Boxing
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
